VHS Movie Reviews of Pooh's Grand Adventure - The Search for Christopher Robin [VHS]
Movie Review: Great film!
Summary: 5 Stars
My 23-month old son loves this movie!! As I watched it the first time with him, I was a bit concerned that parts of it might be too scary for him, so I paid attention to his reactions and also talked to him about what was happening in some of the scarier parts. He was not disturbed at all by any of them and I feel comfortable letting him watch it on his own if I have something that I need to do in the next room. I realize that some parts of it may be too scary for some children (I would have been one of them at that age!), but I think that most parents have a good idea of what their child can handle, and it's always a good idea anyway to watch a new video with your child the first time through. That way you can stop it if it seems to be too scary or have other material that your child really isn't ready for.
But, back to the movie! One of my son's favorite parts is watching Tigger try and bounce really, really high (he's into jumping just now) and he always laughs to see Tigger bounce. I was amazed that my son was actually paying attention through the whole movie. There were very few parts where his attention wandered, and it never wandered far. With other kiddie movies of similar duration, he tends to wander off to do something else after about a half hour or so (which isn't a bad thing, either). All in all, I think this is a very enjoyable film for both children and the adults that may watch it with them.

Summary: 1 Stars
We have Piglets Big Movie which is an absolute favorite of my 2 year old. So being the sweet mother I am, I bought her this movie. It petrified her. It required constant narrative on my part to explain away the disturbing scenes - which predominate the film. It is dark and scarey, and slow, and depressing. The ending might be great but we only got through a half an hour of the movie - waiting for the tone to change. It didn't.
The movie will be put away for years to come if I don't sell it at a yard sale first (which I likely will do - because I couldn't stand to watch it either).
Movie Review: Not the Pooh of my childhood
Summary: 2 Stars
I grew up with the original Winnie the Pooh movie "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" and loved it as a child. "Pooh's Grand Adventure" was not in keeping with the spirit of the first movie.
The song at the beginning with Pooh and Christopher Robin might be considered cute by some, but I found it way too sappy and very difficult to watch. In the original, you know Christopher Robin and Pooh love each other because there is a genuine concern for each other and they want to help each other, etc. I like the "understated" sense of love much better than the "in-your-face" kind that this new movie portrays.
Every song in this movie annoyed me. Owl's song about adventure was pure punishment to listen to. The entire quest they go on is dark, except for the part where the butterflies try to fly off with Piglet. That part was just plain weird, but it was about the only part my son (3 years) liked. Too much of the movie is dark and scary for little ones, and of course, in keeping with recent Disney tradition, there's a very blatant "moral to the story" that you are required to learn. Why can't it just be simple and fun? Have they ever heard the phrase, "Keep it simple stupid"? Why do they have to mess up a good thing?
The plot is one we've all seen before. How many cartoons are there about animal friends or characters going on a quest and conquering their fears and learning about their inner strengths? I'd say way too many. The dialogue is flat and lacking of humor or wit. The characters just aren't the same -- not the whimsical, witty characters I remember. I thought this movie was never going to end, and my son ended up getting up and leaving the room long before it was over.
If you are a die-hard fan of the old "Pooh Bear" movie, my advice is to stay away from this disappointment. If you really don't care one way or another, you may enjoy this. I agree with parents that say this scared their kids. It would have scared me as a kid, and my son ran out of the room during the scary parts, which are many. Rent it, screen it without your kids, and then decide if you want to waste your money and buy it.
Movie Review: Should be called "Pooh's Scary Adventure"
Summary: 1 Stars
Beware of this movie if you're young child is sensitive or easily frightened. We rented this great-sounding movie to watch with our 4-yo daughter as she has wanted to watch a Pooh movie. While this movie starts out wonderfully with a great scene and song about friendship between Christopher Robin and Pooh, the bulk of the movie is spent with Pooh and friends looking for Christopher Robin. During this time, the 100-acre wood is made to seem like an extremely dark and scary place, which we were not expecting, and the tone seems to get progressively more gloomy. We told my daughter that it would get better, but it got to the point where a despondant Pooh sings a sad song and my daughter just started bawling, and asked "When are they going to get out of there???". The "good parts" of this movie at the beginning and end don't begin to balance the long sad part through the majority of the rest.
