It’s movies like this that makes me just smile. A movie that seemed to have been forgotten by way too many people during its original run in the theaters (including me), I was surprised to find how much I was enjoying this film. Carved with hand-drawn characters and settings, and based off of the A.A. Milne stories of the same name, Winnie the Pooh is my new recommendation for a child’s first movie. For starters-it is an extremely short movie. Clocking in at 63 minutes long, including credits, this is one of those movies that makes children love movies, them having what I have with Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. Featuring the voice of Jim Cummings as Pooh and Tigger, this movie follows the adventures of Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, Piglet, Owl, Rabbit, Kanga, Roo, and Christopher Robin in the Hundred Acre Wood, a world in a child’s imagination where these animals run free and live. On one important day, Pooh is out of honey, and is trying to look for it, while everybody else is trying to find Eeyore’s tail. Meanwhile, the team finds a note from Christopher Robin, saying that he would be back soon. They misinterpret this thinking that CR has been abducted by a creature called a Backson, and they try to save their friend from this magical beast. The best thing about this film is that it has nothing but integrity for itself, its origins, and most of all, its viewers. This movie is funny, sweet, musical, wonderful, and just a movie that I totally promise will put a smile on your face. This is a wonderful movie, a movie for children, teens, adults, for everybody. Maybe not people who suck, but if you don’t, you will like this movie. I highly recommend it. NOTE: I am going to blatantly recommend another fellow review/blogger, this time www.shutethecritic.blogspot.com He writes reviews for movies/music/other, and he actually puts pictures with his reviews (I need to do that), and his reviews have actual substance, so when you get tired of hearing someone rant, you can actually read someone talk about a movie. He did a review for this movie, so when you type that his review was so much better, please do it on his site and not mine. That would be much appreciated.

I'm still sad this did not get nominated for best animated film at the Oscars.
