Winnie The Pooh - The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh [DVD]

Product Information

Winnie the Pooh: A Very Merry Pooh Year (2002) • Disney Learning Adventures: Winnie the Pooh - Wonderful Word Adventure Seventy years before Toy Story stormed the box office and redefined animation, another story imagined what it might be like if our toys had lives of their own. Winnie-the-Pooh was first published in 1926 by A.A. Milne. The collection of tales, inspired by Milne's son Christopher and his stuffed dolls, was soon followed by another: The House at Pooh Corner, published in 1928. More than three decades later,

New to DVD: The Secret of NIMH: Family Fun Edition (1982) • Silver Spoons: The Complete First Season (1982-83)This movie was made in a different way than the other Disney classics. The 3 Winnie the Pooh's shorts were put together, forming this motion picture but with the addiction of a conclusion. These 3 shorts are named "Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree", "Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day" and "Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too!". The movie includes 2 live-action segments (a small one at the beginning and a minor one at the end).

Watching 'The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh' offers the unique perspective of watching Disney animation evolve over nearly a decade in a little over an hour. It's one of the most underrated movies in Disney's canon, simply because of its historical significance. However, that doesn't overshadow the fact that it is, indeed, a great little film full of charm. Disney, as with most things he took a keen interest in, was able to capture the childlike aspect of A.A. Milne's stories and morph them into seemingly living, breathing characters. Characters that would go on to become world-wide icons, remembered and beloved across generations. Inside the case is an insert that provides the chapter index (and breaks it down by each featurette) and advertises upcoming Playhouse Disney DVD releases. VIDEO: For a film which is 25 years old and shorts which are even older, the movie looks great. The animation quality possesses the distinctly '60s-style animation, which doesn't look and isn't supposed to look sharp like animated films of today. But the movie looks great. It is wonderfully animated with the warm, pleasant colors of the Hundred Acre Wood and its inhabitants. The video is clean, and free of problems that plague earlier Disney DVD releases like The Aristocats and Sword in the Stone. The film is the last one in the Disney canon in which Walt Disney had personal involvement, since one of the shorts ( Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree) was released during his lifetime, and he was involved in the production of Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day. The theatrical rights to the Pooh stories were acquired by Disney in 1961 and the original intent was to produce a feature film, but Walt decided to make shorts instead — after production had begun — since he thought the source material was not strong enough to adapt well into a full-length film. All three shorts as well as future feature films boast classic songs by the Sherman Brothers including " Winnie the Pooh" and " The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers".

Winnie the Pooh: A Very Merry Pooh Year (2002) • Winnie the Pooh: Springtime with Roo (2004) • Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie (2005) Springtime With Roo: " We're Huntin' Eggs Today" • " Sniffley Sniff" • " Easter Day With You" • " The Way It Must Be Done"I was impressed with the 'Blustery Day' segment. Howling wind moves effortlessly through the sound stage. The rear channels provide some nice ambient sound as wind swirls around the Hundred Acre Woods. LFE is actually nicely resolute during the "Heffalumps and Woozles" number. The Brave Little Toaster (1987) • Valiant (2005) • The Wild (2006) • A Christmas Carol (2009) • Gnomeo & Juliet (2011) • Mars Needs Moms (2011) • Strange Magic (2015) • The Lion King (2019) The interactive storybook "Pooh's Shadow" is the typical have-it-read-to-you or read-it-by-yourself activity for children. "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers" Sing-Along is pretty self-explanatory.

Following old Disney's tradition, it has great artwork, lovable characters, charming songs, classic humor and nice animation.

The film -- a collection of featurettes -- is a cherished production in Disney's illustrious vault, not just because it introduced the world to the animated versions of A. A. Milne's lovable characters, but also because this was one of the last productions that Walt Disney himself influenced before his untimely death in 1966. Also carried over from the 2002 DVD is an expansive art gallery that is available in two forms. The first lets viewers select each photo as a still frame, one by one. The second is a "video gallery" (9:15) that plays all the stills in succession, panning across each as delightful music plays. It's also accompanied by occasional narration that provides more information about the photos (did you know, for instance, that posters are made to "celebrate a new movie"?). There are 66 stills in all, covering concept, production, promotion, and even Pooh's place in Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and Tokyo Disneyland! Though not as plentiful as some of the studio's other DVD art galleries, the presentation is fantastic.Fortunately, the segments aren't at all hastily strung together. Instead, they're interwoven in a very clever, nigh metafilmic manner. Beginning and ending in live-action, the movie meanders through Christopher Robin's nursery into a storybook, calling attention both to the material existence of these characters and their literary origins. As it moves from one featurette to the next, the book visually progresses from chapter to chapter -- a very effective technique, indeed. And when the ending arrives, all that simplicity is given a little depth. Though it comes off as something of an afterthought, the original books' theme of a boy having to leave his childhood behind hits home and hits hard in the final scene, laying some very emotional icing on top of this yellow, fluff-filled cake.
