Quotes

[first lines]
Narrator: This could be the room of any small boy, but it just happens to belong to a boy named Christopher Robin. Like most small boys, Christopher Robin has toy animals to play with, and they all live together in a wonderful world of make-believe. But his best friend is a bear called Winnie the Pooh, or Pooh, for short. Now, Pooh had some very unusual adventures, and they all happened right here in the Hundred-Acre Wood.

Alternate Versions

The version played on the Disney channel has an alternate final third than the theatrical version. In the Disney channel version, the "Tigger too" and "we say goodbye" segments are deleted, and they are replaced with the fourth "Winnie the Pooh" short, which wasnt previously included, "A day for Eeyore". This means it abruptly goes from Piglet saying "and Piglet too!" at the end of the "Blustery Day" segment, to the begining of "A day for Eeyore", and the film ends with that short. Previously, the scene continued, and Pooh introduced "Tigger too", which was followed by the "we say goodbye" sequence", and then the film ends.

User Reviews

Possibly Disney's greatest classic!

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.
