Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com It's beautifully handled by directors Stephen J. Anderson and Don Hall, everything working on the perfect childlike level that speaks directly to the youngest of children without ever once talking down to them. Rated: 3/4 Jul 23, 2011 Full Review Kimberley Jones Austin Chronicle Winnie the Pooh doesn't reinvent the wheel, just gives it an affectionate spin, and that is no more and no less than what one would hope from a family reunion. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 22, 2011 Full Review Peter Travers Rolling Stone It's a pleasure to sink into an animated family movie from Disney that radiates charm with a gentleness that seems damn near revolutionary. Rated: 3/4 Jul 17, 2011 Full Review Carson Timar ButteredPopcorn 2011's Winnie the Pooh is a wonderful new adventure. Truly capturing a nostalgia and style that no longer is seen in wide releases, the film is a breath of fresh air and is a golden gem against Disney's modern filmography. Apr 30, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Disney’s film boasts a near-timeless simplicity that goes along nicely with their previous excursions into Milne territory. Rated: 3/4 Mar 11, 2023 Full Review Yasser Medina Cinefilia The tale of the yellow silly bear and his teddy friends is as hollow as an empty honey pot.

Carter T. Movie of my childhood Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/14/25 Full Review Dane J Winnie The Pooh is a movie about a boy named Christopher Robin with an imagination that is so active he creates his own world inside his bedroom called The Hundred Acre Wood. His stuffed animals, who inhabit The Hundred Acre Wood, all have different personalities that allow them to work together and each fill a different niche. Unfortunately Christopher is growing up and now cant always be there for them so they get up to their own fun without him. The movie mainly follows Christopher's favorite, Winnie The Pooh. The backgrounds are painted while the characters are hand drawn. The painted backgrounds make The movie feel unreal and magical which fits into the Hundred Acre wood being all a part of Christopher Robin's imagination. All of the music in the movie is extremely well made and I have memorized all of the songs. All of the characters look vastly different and have the same amount of difference in personality. The live action scene in the beginning shows the real world version and further leads into the idea of it being a made up world. It's clear all of the animals represent different parts of Christopher Robin, good and bad. Pooh represents Christopher’s kindness and goodwill , Piglet represents his more down to earth emotions as well as his cowardice, Tiger is his brave yet overconfident emotions, Owl is his smart but egotistical emotions, Rabbit is his greedy and methodical emotions, Eeyore is his sad emotions, Kanga represents love and his protectiveness over his stuffed animals, and Roo represents his childish side that he hasn't outgrown yet. This movie represents every child's younger life that they can't go back to because of adult or teenager responsibilities that hold them back from expressing their inner imagination. Christopher Robin, himself grows up and forgets about his friends as they fade from life and the Hundred Acre Wood is no longer full of the love and life it used to have. This movie is one of my favorite movies of all time and still holds a strong spot in my heart. It has helped build me as a person and grow up. I often revisit this movie whenever I'm feeling down or out of sorts. The music has never stopped comforting me and all the characters continue to make me smile. I love Winnie The Pooh and I would recommend it to anyone of any age. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/18/25 Full Review Juju S Je dois avouer que je comprends pas trop pourquoi ressortir un film sur Winnie l’ourson… Je ne suis toujours pas fan de l’univers, mais les subtilités d’écriture sont à reconnaître. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/16/25 Full Review Kayleigh S Winnie the Pooh is still one of my favorite classics and it always will be. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/12/25 Full Review Desiree B This is one of the BEST MOVIES IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/31/25 Full Review Rachel H.
