Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

c-58392 Winnie the Pooh: Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin is the best Winnie Movie ever made.Since its release in 1997, Pooh's Grand Adventure has haunted movie goers with its interlocking story lines that build up the grand scope that is the Pooh Cinematic Universe. It's somber and at times darker theme can appeal to younger and older audiences alike. What sets Pooh's Grand Adventure apart from the rest of the franchise is that this isn't a story based around a gimmick or a newly introduced antagonist. No, this story, is about the characters.Time and time again, David Warner has should just how powerful plot told through visuals and character interaction can be. Every single character, Piglet to Rabbit, has a time to shine in this movie. Whether it's Eeyore learning about trust, or Tigger learning that his strength comes not from the size of his spring, but of the size of his heart, every character develops in their own way. Now with these kind of movies, you can really only tell two kinds of stories, an adventure to make a new friend, or an adventure to better build a bond between characters. Pooh's Grand Adventure breaks the formula by not telling a story of how friends come together, but rather of how they come apart. Of course the movie begins with Christopher Robin leaving Pooh to go to school, this of course is hurtful to Pooh because he does not know where his friend has gone, he thinks he has abandoned him. Pooh rounds up his bravest, wisest, and toughest friends, being Piglet, Rabbit, Tigger, and Eeyore. There adventure takes them all across the map, even beyond the hundred acre wood. Along the way, the friends come across obstacles that they cannot overcome on their own, but instead of working together with the cliche power of friendship, the friends take the surprising, if not realistic, conclusion that their friends are weighing them down. This is where Pooh's Grand Adventure really shines, our beloved characters are at their lowest at the climax of the movie, for the first time, not even Pooh had hope. That makes the end of Pooh's adventure and the reunion with Christopher Robin that more satisfying to see. Winnie just never gets old.

Adriana Valenzuela (oonaheartsnonny96) This is one of the films that I grew up with, so you can imagine all the childhood nostalgia I feel for this movie. I was actually a little surprised at how much people were complaining about the "dark elements" of this movie. I'll admit the Skull stuff is a little avant garde for Winnie the Pooh. However, there's plenty of other children's films that are dark and much worse than this. Something I really like about this film is that our characters travel beyond the Hundred Acre Woods to far off locations in order to "rescue" their human companion. The characters also get into peril in order to find themselves, which is actually pretty impressive for a kid's film. Overall, this is a great adventure that proves "you're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think".

TheLittleSongbird I don't think it is quite as good as The Many Adaventures of Winnie the Pooh, which was one of the better films of the 60s-70s. Winnie the Pooh's Most Grand Adaventure is a charming and sweet film, that is noticeably quieter in tone to the 1977 film, but for me that is never an excuse for not liking a film. The animation is lovely, with lovely colours, and fairly true in style to the 1977 film. The voice talents are very good, particularly John Fiedler and Paul Winchell as Piglet and Tigger. Jim Cummings is also good as Pooh, but I don't think David Warner was as thoughtful enough a narrator as Sebastian Cabot, though I still liked him. The story is fast moving and the dialogue is delightfully humorous, but there may be some elements that may scare young children. Also, although sweet, adults will find the songs a bit limp, that said Forever and Ever is so touching. All in all, a sweet and charming film. 8/10 Bethany Cox.

Richard Harris (Norway1) Keeping in mind that most of the crew from the original Classic are not "just around Pooh corner" this sequel could have been much more disappointing (Did I say "much"?). Disney did what they could by at least using the original voices to both Piglet and Tigger, but it appears to be just another attempt at raking in some cash. Jim Cummings shows amazing talent in his attempt to mimic the timeless voice of Sterling Holloway, however as the narrator, David Warner can't hold a candle to Sebastian Cabot. Disney could have made an extreme improvement had they chosen to follow the original technique of having it as though read from a book with chapters (showing the pages turning, etc.). Children will probably enjoy it (as is it's aim), but try not to set your hopes too high if you're over 10-12.
