Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

zsofikam I know I've mentioned this before but I might as well mention it again: I love Pooh Bear. This entry in the series is no different. Christopher Robin is writing a letter to Santa and is adding all the things that his friends want in addition to what he wants. The letter later blows away and Pooh and friends have to find the letter and get it to Santa before Christmas. What's more, Pooh hasn't yet gotten to say what he wants for Christmas and so they have to get they letter back in order for him to do so. Pooh then decides to act as Santa and deliver things like a suitcase for Eeyore to use as a new house. Magic Earmuffs: Piglet gets a boost of confidence while skating thanks to some "magic" earmuffs. Overrall:I adore the funny moments such as Pooh in disguise as Santa, when Pooh thinks the S on the weather vane stands for Santa, when the bugs pretend to be carolers in order to get to Rabbit's Christmas tree, and when everyone plays hockey with a cookie. All in all, I really loved this entry in the Winnie the Pooh series. It combines two of my favourite things: Christmas and Pooh. Highly recommended!

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Winnie the Pooh & Christmas Too" is, as the title already gives away, an Emmy-nominated Winnie Pooh Christmas special from almost 25 years ago. It runs for 25 minutes and takes place in winter when we see Winnie, Christopher Robin and the gang trying to deliver us the spirit of Christmas. I am not the greatest Winnie the Pooh fan or the greatest fan of Tigger and the Rabbit (only really like Donkey and Piglet), which may be why I did not like it that much, but also I felt that the humor and the emotion came short here compared to other Winnie the Pooh movies. Of course, the final hug was nice, but that's just not enough, even for 25 minutes only. And I was also missing Winnie's greed for food/honey. It is permanent in other films and in this one here, during a time that is also the season of eating all kinds of delicious stuff, it was basically a non-factor. Is Pooh on a diet or something. Not too great of a watch unless you really love the characters. Thumbs down.

Shawn Watson As usual, there's not much in this Winnie the Pooh adventure for adults and the story is very, very simple. I like Disney's incarnation of this universe (far removed from AA Milne's world), but the TV series is the best way to enjoy it.This 1991 Xmas Special is introduced by the notorious Michael Eisner before quickly setting up a threadbare plot involving Christopher Robin sending a letter to Santa Claus for himself and his animal friends. Hardly exciting stuff but pleasant and intermittently funny nonetheless, Hundred Acre Wood also looks lovely covered in snow.A nice effort, but hardly one you're likely to remember.

TheLittleSongbird This will be to anyone who's seen it a Christmas classic. It's not my favourite Christmas special, but it is sweet, charming and memorable.The animation is lovely and so is the music. The voice cast enthusiastically bring their likable characters to life, Tigger never fails to crack me up.There are two stories, one when Pooh tries to get his letter to Santa Claus, and the other showing Piglet's struggles with ice skating. The latter is a tad predictable, but is so sweet and well meaning that all is forgiven.Overall, very sweet and charming, and perfect for kids and adults alike. 9/10 Bethany Cox
