The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

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
