This movie will absolutely capture your heart. Although it starts out slow in the beginning, it gets interesting after the part where Pooh and the others lose their map for finding Piglet after he goes missing. There are frequent mildly depressing scenes, but the happy scenes easily more than make them up. After all, how many movies contain several scenes where Eeyore is smiling and happy? Not too many. This movie makes you realize how much you love your friends, and had me in absolute tears by the end. This is the first movie I have ever seen during which I actually cried, and I've seen movies like War Horse and The Help. This movie is overflowing with pure love. There is nothing like it I have ever seen. Mystery, friendship, music, drama, Winnie the Pooh, this movie's got it all!

Previous comments have already covered that this movie basically recycles old Winnie The Pooh stories (including the original book) - the little kids may not care but don't the authors owe more to the fans of the series and actually produce a decent screenplay? What I enjoyed about the series from the late 80s and early 90s is that it was, in large part, accessible for both adults and children. They were cute but rather intelligent.This movie borders on the sadistic at times - such as the scene where Kanga puts Piglet through the ordeal of giving him a bath, while perfectly knowing that he is Roo. Now, I realize that this is yet another recycled story but the way it is handled resembles something from the Animaniacs. The writers basically said 'let's make something that'll make the kiddies laugh before they are old enough to realize it is not funny.' There is no sensitivity or creativity shown whatsoever.My advice to parents - buy Milne's book or, if you are desperately looking for a rental, get your kid a Miyazaki.

It's a wonderful film for children and adults bringing together all the various Winnie the Pooh stories. Piglet's Big Movie gives you insight into many of the Pooh Bear characters. Having seen this film, I find that reading the Pooh Bear stories is more interesting. The characters now seem to have more depth and the various personalities shine through. It's sincere and funny and there is plenty of action. You can sing along with many of the songs (and learn them if you let the subtitles run with the film). We have watched it over and over again. We keep coming back to this film because it has the most entertaining elements for the Pooh series. The film is well made and the animation is tops. The film pulls together all the elements of Winnie the Pooh. You have to love it!

"Piglet's Big Movie" seems to be another Disney sequel treated with total disrespect and disregard, only this time, it's not straight to video - it's in the theaters. Tigger had his own movie a few years ago (which was a joyful movie filled with a fair amount of humor), so with the success of that film Disney has decided to target a brand new film specifically at Piglet fans, though fans of the classic Piglet may be disappointed, as the new voice of Piglet sounds wholly different, and his size has decreased significantly (he used to be about half the size of Winnie the Pooh, now he's about the size of Pooh's paw).I've personally always hated Piglet. Pooh's had his own children's book series, his own short films from the mid-sixties, a cartoon series in the nineties, and a complete franchise built upon him. No one can complain he hasn't had his turn in the spotlight. Tigger is the most widely-loved character from the series (and I agree), and so he has had his own movie and is featured in many merchandise tie-ins. None of the other characters have had their own films until now. Quite honestly, many people favor Eeyore over Piglet, and so the next film will probably be "Eeyore's Big Adventure" or something. The question is whether we need films based soley upon characters who were never meant to be totally expanded upon in the first place."Piglet's Big Movie" starts off in the Hundred Acre Wood. Winnie the Pooh (voice of Jim Cummings), Tigger (also Cummings), et al, are working on something and exclude Piglet because he is too small. Piglet, feeling ignored, runs away from home. It is then that the gang reflect on many different adventures they had in which Piglet paid major parts of (although Piglet's feats in "Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin" are left unexplored, as that would be ripping off an audience even more than they already are being ripped off).I realize "Piglet's Big Movie" is for children, and in that respect I don't blame Disney for making it. But it is so obvious this film had no thought put into it that it hurts. First off, I watched it with children and they hated it. Second, I know that there are a lot of Piglet fans out there (mainly women) who absolutely adore the character, who wear pirated shirts with irons of Piglet stained on them, and by making this crap they're hurting their chances at respect from big-time fans.There isn't any wonder in this film, there isn't anything fresh, to say it is a film entirely about Piglet and his Big Movie is lying. This is a rip-off cash-in that Disney has crafted just to make some extra cash through Piglet fans. They're hurting children and fans alike by making this trash. Midway through this cartoon adventure, a seven-year-old I was watching the movie with said, "This is stupid." She then advised a friend, "Whatever you do, don't buy 'Piglet's Big Movie,' it's stupid." If a seven-year-old has enough cinematic taste to realize "Piglet's Big Movie" is a rip-off, Disney may have to remarket their strategy - kids aren't as stupid and devoid of cinematic taste, it seems, as they think.2/5 stars -John Ulmer
