Three stories inspired by A.A. Milne add up to a very busy day for Winnie-the-Pooh and friends. Upon learning that Eeyore has lost his tail, the residents of the Hundred Acre Wood start a contest to see who can find a new one for the melancholy donkey -- with a pot of honey going to the winner. Amid the goings-on, Owl mistakenly relates the news that Christopher Robin has been abducted. However, all ends well when Pooh finds a land of sweet delights.

3/4
It's beautifully handled by directors Stephen J. Anderson and Don Hall, everything working on the perfect childlike level that speaks directly to the youngest of children without ever once talking down to them. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Winnie the Pooh doesn't reinvent the wheel, just gives it an affectionate spin, and that is no more and no less than what one would hope from a family reunion. Go to Full Review

It's a pleasure to sink into an animated family movie from Disney that radiates charm with a gentleness that seems damn near revolutionary. Go to Full Review

2011's Winnie the Pooh is a wonderful new adventure. Truly capturing a nostalgia and style that no longer is seen in wide releases, the film is a breath of fresh air and is a golden gem against Disney's modern filmography. Go to Full Review

Disney’s film boasts a near-timeless simplicity that goes along nicely with their previous excursions into Milne territory. Go to Full Review

Anakin P Mar 6, 2019 A Perfect Dream. Winnie The Pooh Disney has still got that magic sketch artistry. And yes, it is every bit of enchanting as it should be. From humor to drama, it hits every note perfectly. It covers up the physical sequences of the razzle dazzle that its younger audience craves for and explores themes that will make adults wiser and hooked. And they do it with a humble broad smile on their face and old children's morale tales to create an arc on the storytelling. This is one of those rare collaboration of a bohemian work that fulfills every fanboy fantasies that we could imagine. Primarily because the makers themselves grew up watching these characters and the world they reside in, which glorifies each tiny aspect of the film. The songs are delight to watch and catchy enough to make you hum along. It helps enormously for the writers to prove a point with repetition and expressive nature that these songs easily are. The visual effects, as always, is adorable, plus this time they have managed to blend in the real world and the imaginary one effortlessly with words floating around and each frame depicted as a page of the book. And this is not some new technique to lure the audience in, but a major factor of the narration itself. Among many daft conversations, there are few that would straight out stand alone, the hilarious final act, where the wordplay and the puns grows habitual to you and the dumbness and maturity both loud enough for you to be thoroughly entertained as these characters intertwine with slapstick humor. The voice over cast is undeniably soothing to be heard, from which of course Jim Cummings bubbles undeniably, in his low calm speech that melts you down to your childhood memories where Winnie The Pooh was never a fiction.

Jan 21, 2019 It may not be tearjerking, but it dosen't need it to be
Hermione S Nov 18, 2018 Though nothing really exciting or dramatic happens and it's almost like a long TV episode, the lovable characters and charming atmosphere make it hard not to like and an enjoyable movie to watch with family. See more
Han R Aug 22, 2018 I loved this movie. The animation was spectacular and super cute. I loved how they used traditional animation. The voice over performances were great. I wish that the movie had been longer I felt it was to short. Also I loved the soundtrack. Winnie the Pooh has always been one of one of my very favorite Disney characters. See more
Kylo W Jul 22, 2018 It's a wonderful nostalgic ride & I wish I could give it a 5 star rating however Rabbits voice just doesn't fit. The one I grew up with was the one in springtime with roo & the tigger movie & piglet's movie. Which was wonderful voice acting See more
Finn R Jul 6, 2018 I recall watching Winnie The Pooh when I was a kid, so I watched this 2011 reboot of the franchise. It is a good movie, but my reception to this movie is rather mixed. I like the songs 'The Backson Song', 'It's Gonna Be Great' and 'Everything Is Honey', my least favourite one though is 'A Very Important Thing To Do'. Basically, I don't really see the point in Winnie The Pooh being a musical franchise - I don't know why, exactly, but I don't think it's that necessary to have musical numbers all the time in the franchise. I like the humour, the jokes, the voice acting, and the animation (even though it is just drawn animation), and it does sort of help with John Cleese narrating, but I think the storyline is a little too average. It almost feels like two stories with a short length - first Eeyore loses his tail, and then everyone assumes that Christopher Robin has been captured by the so-called Backson. I mean, seriously, why would you would have something epic in a story that isn't really epic? All of Rabbit's planning and everyone adventuring for nothing! It could have been a massively epic twist if Christopher Robin really was captured by a baddie even if not the Backson, right? Okay, so the Backson made an appearance after the credits, but then again, they've spoiled everything and turned him into a nice character. Every time I watch Winnie The Pooh, I keep noticing that they don't add anything new to the franchise, which is virtually annoying. The characters stay in the same location, never getting out of the woods, never going anywhere new. I have no doubt that the live action Christopher Robin film is going to be a million times better though. So anyway, if you really like Winnie The Pooh, give this a shot, but if you're buying it expecting something really new in the franchise, I wouldn't recommend it. See more
