The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977)

Not just for kids. Winnie-The-Pooh is fun for anyone. Not cutesy or stupid, just fun that anyone can love. My seven year old sister loves it and I can watch it over and over with her. Pooh, as voiced by Sterling Holloway, is a lovable hero/protag who only wants to get a good bellyfull of honey. Tigger is the action, always bouncing and creating mischief. Rabbit is the lovable sour grouch who adds to Tigger's fun. "Why does it ALWAYS HAVE TO BE ME??? WHY OH WHY OH WHY???!!!" Owl is hilarious in all his refined British humor. Piglet is a hapless, undersized creature who does his best to stay out of trouble...and strong blustery winds. Nobody dies or is the victim of violence. This is a fun escape into the innocence of childhood without being victimized by Barney or the Teletubbies, thank you!!!

Fmovies: Have you ever watched a movie, so happy, so pleasant, so calming, and so innocent you get tears in your eyes? Until The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, that's never happened to me. Something about Winnie's charming smile, Rabbit's ideas, Owl's wisdom, Eeyore's negativity, Piglet's big thinking, Kanga and Roo's bond, and Tigger's bounce just brings a smile with tears. What a film.

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is a magical and truly a beautiful film with simple animation and three simple stories based on their book companions by A.A. Milne. The stories made into shorts are Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree, Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day, and Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too. All are made beautifully and very softly. No language, no "scary" elements, no talking about anything upsetting or unsettling. It's all for the kids.

The first story focuses on Pooh Bear trying to complete his quest for honey. After failing twice trying to get it from the bees, he walks on over to Rabbit's hole to feast. Poor Pooh than eats too much to the point where he can't fit through the front door. He winds up getting himself stuck there with no hope.

The second story focuses on the gang coping with increment weather, and the third focusing on Pooh meeting Tigger and discovering the true statement that "Tiggers are wonderful things." All the stories take their time to tell themselves. None feel rushed or lengthy. They are perfect and touching.

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh's score is pitch perfect. Every song is enjoyable, my favorite of this one being The Tigger Song. Where we learn some things about our new friend Tigger. The score is calming, enjoyable, and just pleasant.

Everything in this is just remarkably touching and just very pleasing. The film has a great look to it, and nothing is out of place. Even being over thirty years old it still continues to warm hearts, accompany children, and receive a respectable amount of air-play on television. In fact, this may be the first film I show my kids if I have any.

Voiced by: Sterling Holloway, John Fiedler, Junius Matthews, Paul Winchell, Howard Morris, and Bruce Reitherman. Directed by: Wolfgang Reitherman and John Lounsbery.

This feature film actually consisted of three previous half hour shorts==the first three Pooh toons made by Disney Studios. All are standout films because they are spectacularly better than all the many later incarnations of Pooh. While the Saturday morning cartoons and all the made for Disney Channel things were of decent quality, they just don't come close to this film in quality of animation (with amazingly detailed line drawings), voices and style. It just doesn't get any better than having narration by Sebastian Cabot as well Paul Winchell and Sterling Holloway as Tigger and Pooh. And as far as style goes, I love how the stories literally fall from the pages of the A. A. Milne books as well as Tigger talking to the narrator! It's all so adorable--it's about as cute as you can get without inducing nausea! A wonderful treat for kids and adults, this is a must-see offering from Disney and only a die-hard curmudgeon could not love this film.

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh fmovies. This film is like a childhood memory, I love it, and I'm 16. The animation is beautiful, especially in Blustery Day, one of the three vignettes that make up the film. On this subject, I think this is the only Disney movie, that makes outstanding use of the vignettes, which were tied together by a very thoughtful narrative by Sebastian Cabot, who sadly died the year the film it was released. The songs by the Sherman brothers, are amusing and memorable actually. The Heffalumps and Woozles song was my favourite. What impressed me most was that the vignettes, while simple but innocent and cute, were very faithful to the equally charming stories by A.A.Milne. The characters were really inspiring, helped by a very spirited voice cast, Sterling Holloway and Paul Winchell as standouts. John Fiedler and Junius Matthews were also amusing as Piglet and Rabbit, and Bruce Reitherman was also good as Christopher Robin. My ONLY criticism of this movie, is that I felt it was a bit too short. Watch this film, and maybe the other Winnie the Pooh films, but they do lack the charm of this innocent little gem. 10/10 Bethany Cox

This film, though not my personal favorite, could possibly be Disney's best animated movie ever. I love the innocence and the adorable characters!

Having Sebastian Cabot as narrator is an exceptionally nice touch.

I love the way it flows just like a story book, with the pages turning and characters jumping from one picture to another: Original and brilliant!

Too bad they couldn't retain the originality and charm in this film's short predecessors.

Certainly one of history's all time greatest classics in the Disney portfolio.

10 out of 10.

The 22nd animated Disney classic is what I consider the epitome of innocence and childhood. This movie brings fond memories of a childhood that doesn't exist nowadays. It shows very well the beauty of life and magic of childhood, taking us to the relaxing and calm environment of the Hundred Acre Wood and back to the days when childhood was really childhood.

"The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" is simple but quite happy. It is narrated through a storybook and illustrations, which is a different way to tell a story.

This movie was made in a different way than the other Disney classics. The 3 Winnie the Pooh's shorts were put together, forming this motion picture but with the addiction of a conclusion. These 3 shorts are named "Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree", "Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day" and "Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too!". The movie includes 2 live-action segments (a small one at the beginning and a minor one at the end).

Following old Disney's tradition, it has great artwork, lovable characters, charming songs, classic humor and nice animation.

There are no villains (something rare on Disney classics) and the characters are all friends. They all have different personalities, but they're all cool.

Winnie the Pooh is a bear with little brain but he's funny, cute and adorable. He looks more like a doll. You know, like one of those Teddy Bears most children have or had once.

Eeyore is a sad, depressed and pessimist donkey. Rabbit is authoritarian, tense and sometimes unfair, but cool. Piglet is tiny, cute, shy and nervous. Tigger is carefree, wild, humorous, hilarious, amusing, very lively and loves to bounce on his friends. He bounces on Pooh, Piglet and Rabbit, but never on Cristopher Robin, Kanga, Roo, Eeyore, Gopher and Owl. It's good to have a character like Tigger to cheer us up.

Kanga is nice and her son Roo is cool, innocent and enthusiastic. The Owl is very talkative and wise. Cristopher Robin is a caring, sweet and friendly little boy - and he's always available for his friends and helps them whenever they need.

Gopher is hilarious - «he's not in the book» and it's simply awesome whenever he falls into his hole. He is inspired on the Beaver from "Lady and the Tramp". They both can talk and whistle at the same time.

As for the songs, they are simple but charming and childish in a good way. I like all these songs, it's hard to pick a favorite: "Winnie the Pooh", "Up, down and touch the ground", "Rumbly in my tumbly", "Little Black Rain Cloud", "Mind Over Matter", "A Rather Blustery Day", "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers", "Heffalumps and Woozles", "The Rain Rain Rain Came Down Down Down" and "Hip Hip Pooh-Ray!".

As usual, great voice talents from the past shine here too. The great Sterling Holloway provides the voice for Winnie the Pooh. Ralph Wright was a great Eeyore - that gloomy and deep voice is perfect for him. Rabbit was never the same again without Junius Matthews. Sebastian Cabot was a good narrator. John Fiedler is wonderful as Piglet's voice. Barbara Luddy made a good Kanga. Paul Winchell... what a genius! He was a perfect Tigger! Seriously, no one can replace him and Tigger just isn't the same without him.
