Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com The film's script is basic, the direction bland, and there's nothing unique about the production design itself. Rated: 2.5/4.0 Sep 2, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Nana f Delightful. Perfect for children 7+ years of age. I watched it with my husband, and we really enjoyed the fact that it was heartwarming., true, and featured NO cussing. We are so sick of the vulgarity in modern Hollywood movies. If you love animals, you'll love this story of Winnie the bear.. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/07/23 Full Review Mark D I thought it was a sweet movie. Perfect for family viewing. I've been a big "Winnie-the-Pooh" fan since I was a kid. I never knew the backstory about what inspired AA Milne to write the classic tale. This film tells you the true story about where the bear came from. I have to admit, I did puddle up a couple times while watching it. The production was a little cheezy, but just about everything else about it was great. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/01/23 Full Review lynn m It made me happy and made me cry a little. I was pleased to find out all the bears were real ! Thought the main characters were lovely. Just one question: why are all the bad people in these films portrayed as British. It is hackneyed Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A sweet and touching movie. So glad we watched it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Billled as the true story of Winnie the pooh, it is almost nothing of the sort. However, it is the based on a true story of a Canadian Black Bear, who ended up being snuck aboard a military ship to England during World War I that ended up at the London Zoo and A.A. Miline's kid named his toy bear after the Zoo bear. It was funny and light heated, but in the end showed the problems of perpetual war even 100 years ago. I highly recommend to anyone. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member This is the best movie I have seen in a long time loved every minute of it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
