TheLittleSongbird At 17, I admit I like this show. While not like the books by AA Milne, other than the characters' names, it is cute and charming and nice for preschoolers. The stories are a little on the predictable side, and I admit Rabbit is more bossy than he is in New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, the 1977 film The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh(based on the 3 shorts Honey Tree, Tigger Too and Blustery Day) and the books. However, the background scenery is colourful and nice to look at, the puppetry is above average, the voices are fine and the songs are sweet and memorable in general. I have always had a soft spot for Tigger, he reminds me of my sister when she was little, but I also like the little bluebird Kassie. In conclusion, I like it. 8/10 Bethany Cox
curiva4 This is simply a nice little show, and I don't mean that disparagingly. It captures the feel and spirit of the original much better than the frenetic and occasionally just plain bizarre "New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh," though as others note the latter is intended for an older audience. The plots and lessons are generally simple, but there's no violence, no screaming, and thankfully no product placements. If you're seeking a quiet and toddler-friendly program, be sure to give this one a try. There's definitely a place for peaceful children's' programming like this; remember, Pokemon and Fear Factor would love to hook kids instead.
bz_lob The only thing about the Book of Pooh that resemble Milne's series is the looks of the characters. None of the personalities are transferred over to the puppets. Instead of the classic relationships such as Rabbit vs. Tigger we are given sappy, cute, supportive clones. All of this translates to an unwatchable perversion of the classic series. No, this is not Pooh.
LAKLoka This new version of some Pooh tales is the most delightful addition to the Disney Channel lineup. I think that the new approach of bringing the art of Bunraku puppetry to television is not only inspired, but most welcome!It's great to see a fresh look at the bear and his pals since old episodes of "The New Adventures Of Winnie-The-Pooh" were getting kind of tiresome. It's wonderful that Pooh has some new stories to talk about in a fun and eye-popping environment. Plus, the idea of spreading the importance of literacy is a fantastic approach to get Pooh fans involved in learning.The songs are hummable and cute, and it's great to see most of the original (or second-generation) voices take part in such an experimental series. I say congrats to the crew at Disney on this terrific & adorable NEW Poo
