Trivia:

This is only the third time that Walt Disney Animation Studios produced a sequel to one of their films from the Disney Animated Classics canon in-house. The previous instances are as follows: The Rescuers Down Under (1990) followed The Rescuers (1977) and Fantasia/2000 (1999) followed Fantasia (1940).

Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Owl says "Good luck!" to his friends as they leave to catch the Backson, suggesting that he won't help. However, when they start working, Owl is clearly seen gathering items with everyone else.

Quotes:

Narrator:As the others searched for a tail, Pooh realized that a pine cone would not win him the honey.
Pooh:Why not?
Narrator:Because it would have to be something special.
Pooh:Oh. Special, you say. Special. Think, think, think...
Narrator:No hurry, Pooh. Just take your time.
Pooh:Take my time. What a wonderful idea!

Movie Connections:

Spoofed in "Mad: FrankenWinnie/ParaMorgan (#3.15)" (2012)

Soundtrack:

The Winner Song

Simply brilliant. If you have a heart, you'll love this

I was waiting to see this for my 3 year old first visit to a cinema and I have to say that although I wasn't brought up on Winnie myself, my Daughter loved it and I have to say I was nothing but impressed with this wonderful piece of simplicity, light humor and pure joy of the film and it's characters.

If you want to spend an hour or so just seeing life in it's simplest childhood joy as it should be for all children, then see this.

My Daughter loved it and all she said at the end was " again, again! " while attempting to finish off all her popcorn!

One of the best films of the year and in some time to boot.
