DVD Piglet's Big Movie
Disney once again plunders the delightful Winnie-the-Pooh books for an animated movie, this one centered around the wee and insecure Piglet. Feeling unappreciated by his friends, Piglet wanders off into the Hundred Acre Wood; in his absence, Pooh, Eeyore, Tigger, and Rabbit reminisce about various adventures (including when Kanga and her baby Roo first arrived in their midst, and building a house for Eeyore) and begin to recognize Piglet's crucial contribution to their lives. Unfortunately for moviegoers, the gentle but sly whimsy of A.A. Milne's books has been turned into pure saccharine, which isn't helped by mediocre animation and appallingly bland songs (by Carly Simon, of all people). Even the most Pooh-worshipping kids are likely to find Piglet's Big Movie to be pretty small potatoes. --Bret Fetzer
I am giving 1 star for the plot and 1 star for some of the funny/witty lines.
When good movies go bad:
WEAK soundtrack. Boring songs with stupid lyrics.
50% of the movie is flash backs to previous films. I would have been fine with the flashbacks if they weren't to movies already made.
Not enough time was spent on Piglet (the star) in 'real time' he appeared in flashbacks for 90% of the film.
Overall it did have a good plot and message. If you mute all of the tedious Carly Simon songs and have never seen any previous Pooh stories you will like it.

You can't go wrong with Piglet's Big Movie for a young child. They will watch it over and over again. Great animation and songs. The storyline is much more applicable to a young child unlike the fire and death scenes in movies like Bambi.
A honey of a movie
Anyone who does not like Pooh and the gang is just a down right Scrooge. The story focuses on Piglet mostly and it is adorable. One of the other reviewers referred to the end scene as a "disappointment"-I would not call it a disappointment, but it was sad to think of the possibility of Pooh and Piglets fate as such. There is a time in everyone's life where they have to learn how life goes round-most likely that reviewers little one did not even understand what was happening in the end scene-at that age(2ish) it is all about the "HOO-HAH" and the silly things that the characters do in the movie that keep them glued to the tube-not about the shock of a possibility of Pooh and Piglet dieing-kids at that age just don't understand that concept yet.
The paucity of quality family movies available is underscored by the fact that everything about The Tigger Movie screams direct-to-video, yet it has put up some impressive box-office numbers. Its very premise belies Tigger's memorable song, "the most wonderful thing about tiggers is, I'm the only one," as our bouncy, flouncy hero decides, apropos of nothing, that he has family out there, somewhere, and he's determined to find them. Well, a 6-year-old can figure out that in the end, Tigger'll realize his pals in the Hundred Acre Woods are, in fact, his family, and that a locket introduced early on will wind up in little Roo's hands. The animation may be acceptable on the small screen, but looks pretty cheesy by contemporary feature standards, although an avalanche near the...

Friendship and compassion provide a memorable Easter celebration in Springtime with Roo. Roo's excitement on Easter morning is boundless, but when he, Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and Eeyore arrive at Rabbit's door for the big Easter egg hunt, Rabbit seems to have forgotten Easter and proclaims it "Spring Cleaning Day" instead. A dispirited Pooh and his gang quickly rally and decide to surprise Rabbit by putting up his Easter decorations. Rabbit is not at all happy with their efforts and furiously declares that Easter is canceled. It turns out that everyone involved has been selfish in some degree by failing to consider the feelings and desires of one another. Can a little mutual understanding and caring salvage Easter for Roo, Rabbit, and the rest of the gang? (Ages 2 to... More Info about this DVD Director(s): Elliot M.

Pooh's Heffalump Movie introduces a lovable new character to the Hundred Acre Wood. When mysterious noises spook Pooh, Piglet, and the others, Rabbit explains that everyone will have to band together to track down the dreaded Heffalump. Well, everyone, that is, except Roo, who's too small for the task. Not surprisingly, it's Roo who makes first contact, and he quickly finds out that first impressions aren't always true. You can see the Big Messages coming from a mile off (Xenophobia is bad! Don't underestimate little kids!), and one moment of mischief curiously passes without even requiring an apology. But kids will be charmed by the Heffalump and may even connect with the empowerment/maturity themes. Among the voice cast, Jim Cummings does knockout impressions of Sterling Holloway...

Disney's 1977 The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh may be the last word on (animated) Pooh because it so faithfully honors the first word on Pooh, penned in the 1920s by British storyteller A.A. Milne. Gently paced, subtly humorous, and blessedly understated, this adaptation reflects Walt Disney's original vision to develop the beloved British bear for a wider audience. The film is essentially a collection of the original Pooh shorts, "The Honey Tree," "The Blustery Day," and "Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too." These storybooks are presented in seamless "chapters," narrated by the timeless Sebastian Cabot. The familiar musical score and original voices of Sterling Holloway as Pooh, and Paul Winchell as Tigger, cap this enchanting keepsake. (Ages 2 and up). --Lynn GibsonMore Info about this DVD Director(s): John Lounsbery - Wolfgang Reitherman DVD Release Date: Released the 07 May 2002 Usually ships in 24 hours

Pooh Bear and his pals in the Hundred Acre Wood celebrate Christmas and New Year's Eve in a pair of adventures folded into this 65-minute made-for-video feature. In the first, the silly old bear plays Saint Nick to his buddies ("I always thought he'd be taller") after failing to get an errant wish list off to Santa, while identity crisis strikes the gang in the second half. Piglet inherits Tigger's hop and jumps like a pogo stick, and Eeyore (dressed in Pooh's shirt) becomes a happy-go-lucky honey lover. Welcome to The Twilight Zone according to Winnie the Pooh. There's not much A.A. Milne in this TV-style holiday special, but it's a bouncy little production that should entertain the wee ones with its warm fuzzies, good company, slapstick energy, and life lessons. --Sean...
