Featured reviews
Winnie the Pooh: Springtime with Roo (2004) is another Winnie the Pooh movie I used to rent from Hollywood Videos and watch a lot as a kid. Now as an adult, I still love and appreciate this movie.
Positives for Winnie the Pooh: Springtime with Roo (2004): This movie continues to caught the spirit of these characters and their shenanigans while also giving them fantastic character arcs. I loved how the movie makes Rabbit a character with feelings and emotions. Rabbit was never one of my favorites as a kid, but I appreciate him more as an adult. I also loved seeing Roo and Tigger bonding with each other and trying to get Easter Day back in section in the Hundred Acre Woods. You also get fun musical numbers through the humor and shenanigans. I also love how the narrator plays a major part in trying to get Rabbit back his Easter Day Spirit. And finally, the ending of this movie was wonderful.
Overall, Winnie the Pooh: Springtime with Roo (2004) is another phenomenal entry in the Winnie the Pooh franchise and I can't wait to finish the rest of these fun movies.

Another great movie about one of Winnie The Pooh's friend first in the year 2000 we got Tigger, then in the year 2003 we got Piglet and now in 2004 we are having a movie about Roo in this easter special time i have ever seen.

For the first time in too long a time Disney has delivered a true family movie that all can enjoy. The movie brings back a technique formerly used with great success by Disney that brings the characters to life. They actually jump in and out of the book itself and from chapter to chapter. The moral of the story is shared through the eyes of Roo who, for the first time gets to stretch his range of emotions. We see how the tale unfolds through the tender, loving and unspoiled eyes of this "child" and immediately realize our own vulnerabilities with our real life relationships. The directors, writers, and producers really tug at the heart strings with this one. It's a keeper!
Refusing Roo & his friends to celebrate easter? How Scroogey!
Rabbit: Bah humbug!
Well, I'm not sure if the other person that commented on this movie watched the same one as myself. Granted, this film is geared toward children, however, it's message seems a bit off target, considering the subject matter.
To say this movie was something the entire family can enjoy together is to assume the parents have an IQ not much higher than that of their child.
But before I say anything, I'm not some religious nut.
The movie is loosely adapted from Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol". Had the central holiday in question in this movie been Christmas, it's message would have made more sense. However, it was Easter, and, according to the characters, Easter is the time of year when "we show our buddies that we care." Easter is about caring and sharing, not a religious holiday celebrating the death and resurrection of Jesus. In effect, the movie makes it explicitly clear that Easter isn't a religious holiday at all, but a time to celebrate the coming of Spring.
It seems to have been made in typical Disney fashion; sanitized and devoid of the true meaning behind the holiday, such as Christmas, which, as has been transformed over the years to be a celebration of Winter and, yet again, a time when "we show our buddies that we care", as opposed to its original context, that being a religious holiday to celebrate the birth of a particular religious figure.
Had Disney done the same thing to a Muslim, Jewish, or even Hindu holiday, I dare say there'd be quite the backlash and protest. However, it's just a Christian holiday and who cares if a few "believers" are even slightly taken aback by the warped rendition and interpretation Disney gives to their holiest of days.
Thankfully, my daughter is far to young to understand any of this and certainly too young to care. She just likes watching Winnie the Pooh bumble his way through life. However, with older children, I hate to sound conspiratorial, but honest to God, you really have to wonder: are the people who made this film trying to re-educate children? You can write it off as merely a fun movie for tots to sit and gawk at for an hour, but at the same time, you have to admit, children aren't entirely stupid. They understand a lot more than I think we normally give them credit. And I find it difficult to believe that of all the people who helped make this movie, from director to child psychologists, surely at least one of them had to have the same sense of it all as I did.
If I were you, I'd probably just skip this title in favor of getting some of the old Warner Brothers cartoons.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe events of the film directly parallel those of the classic Charles Dickens novel "A Christmas Carol." Tigger shows Rabbit events from the past, then the narrator (voiced by the late David Ogden Stiers) has him listen in on another character in a present, then shows him a dismal future, leading Rabbit to realize that he can change. Later, Rabbit references lines from the novel by stating "I'm as jumpy as a jackrabbit! I'm as giddy as a schoolbunny!"
- Alternate versionsCurrent prints of the film (i.e, the Blu-Ray release, DMA prints, and Netflix prints) replace the classic 1985 2D Blue and White silhouette logo with the current 2006 CGI Castle logo.
