Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Global_Marketing_Pros I read the Tao of Pooh, which focuses on the East Asian philosophy and the innocence of Pooh. I think Pooh as a concept from England is characteristic of other myth created in England such as Alice in Wonderland. Innocence is a difficult concept to teach once we have been born into a world of environmental stress. For this reason I like to see more of Pooh associated with emptiness type philosophy such as Zen Buddhism as well. Pooh as a constant empty vessel that gets filled with different ideas is both comical and distressful. Because it makes the character of Pooh seem like they can not learn, which I do think is relevant for any animal. So, as the symbol of innocence Pooh has both good and bad concepts founded in education. This is why I say it is more the Tao of Pooh.

trueluvnanarchy The Book of Pooh is an all around excellent, visually-delightful children's show. Notice how the majority of negative comments expressed here are critical of the characters' appearance rather than show content, suggesting more than a tinge of irrational resentment. We all feel protective of the shows and characters we grew up watching, which can create a severe bias when it comes to remakes and modernized versions of these shows. The Book of Pooh is a great example of this narrow-minded mentality. The Hundred Acre Wood is brought to life in a near-flawless mix of puppeteering and computer animation, with catchy musical numbers and interesting plots to keep the young mind entertained as well as educated. A very important aspect to keep in mind is the age difference in viewers of the New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh cartoon and The Book of Pooh, with the latter aimed at the 2-6 age group, whereas the former is geared towards older children about 6-10. This is why the Book of Pooh has larger characters, simpler backgrounds, and less complex but more educational plots. This is all to keep the attention of toddlers while teaching them basic moral lessons, as well as simple counting and reading skills. Bottom line: It's a charming, imaginative show for the toddler/preschool audience, and adults won't be too bored watching it either. As long as they aren't constantly comparing it to the other Pooh shows. :-)

bz_lob The only thing about the Book of Pooh that resemble Milne's series is the looks of the characters. None of the personalities are transferred over to the puppets. Instead of the classic relationships such as Rabbit vs. Tigger we are given sappy, cute, supportive clones. All of this translates to an unwatchable perversion of the classic series. No, this is not Pooh.

Hotoil "The Book of Pooh" is the second live-action TV adaption of A.A. Milne's beloved character Winnie the Pooh and friends have gotten by Disney. The first was "Welcome to Pooh Corner" some years back, which featured full-body costumes and not so much puppets, as this one does.I love puppetry, a big fan of Sesame Street and the Muppets myself, but I have a feeling that the move to puppets was made to crank out more of the popular 'Pooh' faster than is possible with animation. Here, the foam and fleece characters don't have much restriction to their movements. The backgrounds are all punched in on a blue screen, so it seems the puppeteers were free to move about the stage.I guess kids who like Pooh can be happy because their pushing out tons of these, but theres nothing special about the stories and the presentation is a bit fluffy.
