Let's Review: Winnie the Pooh

As a child I really loved Winnie the Pooh. For fun I decided to go see this film and see if it lived up to my memories. Did it live up to my childish nostalgia or were my young dreams dashed to the wind. Let’s review Winnie the Pooh.

The Negative

It was too short; clocking in at about 69 minutes this was a short film. On the other hand, I understand that young kids can’t sit through overly long films.

 

Many of the voices for the characters were different. It’s not so much a complaint; it’s just that many of the new voice actors didn’t pull off the characters as well as the originals had. Though I’m sure the new voice actors did the best job they could to emulate their predecessors.

The Positive

‘Pause’…………………………………………………..

 

IT’S WINNIE THE POOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS FREAKIN' AWESOME! This film lived up to all of my childish hopes and dreams and managed to bring back a piece of magic that has been missing from Disney as of late. If you have little kids, this is the film you want to take them to. It is a pure film, not losing itself to the overly cheesy and terrible kid’s movies that are peppered with bad jokes and references that would make no sense to children.

In Conclusion

The media market is filled with so much garbage that they are trying to shove down children’s throats, that it becomes really nice when something pure comes along just for the children. 4 out of 5 (please don’t judge me)
