We took our grandson to this movie and really enjoyed it! It made us laugh and smile throughout the entire movie.

This terrific re-release/compilation of 5 episodes of Disney's animated hundred acre woods gang and their adventures (with orignal voices!) is still as pure and innocent as when these episodes were originally made...way over 30 years ago. If Disney was clever and honest, they might advertise this release for what it is: "a rare glimpse of quality entertainment and innocence- past that both adults and children deserve and will love."

Utterly charming new animated version of the classic. This is aimed at quite young viewers (it is much less sophisticated on a story level than the Pixar films), but as an adult I thoroughly enjoyed it for the visual wit, and delightful wordplay, along with a simple, but beautiful hand animated look that fed the natural nostalgia, and just felt "right". The voice casting is excellent throughout. John Cleese as the narrator is the only star, but everyone sounds just as they should. A couple of the songs are a bit cute and sugary to an adult ear, but none are painful, and a others are quite funny. I even enjoyed the lack of a major plot. Just as I remember the books, this had the warm feeling of lightly passing imaginary, playful time on a summers day,
