Genre:
With the charm, wit and whimsy of the original featurettes, this all-new movie reunites audiences with the philosophical "bear of very little brain" and friends Tigger, Rabbit, Piglet, Kanga, Roo-and last, but certainly not least, Eeyore, who has lost his tail. "Well a tail is either there or it isn't there," said Pooh. "And yours isn't? there." Owl sends the whole gang on a wild quest to save Christopher Robin from an imaginary culprit. It turns out to be a very busy day for a bear who simply set out to find some hunny.

Movies.ie Critic Review
Returning to Milne’s original books - and to the handdrawn style of the early Disney Winnie The Pooh outings – our intrepid if not particularly bright bear heads out through the Hundred Acre Wood in search of honey, but is sidetracked by Eeyore’s quest for a new tail. And the feared arrival of a Backson – which just happens to be Christopher Robin’s note sign-off of ‘Back soon’….
THE VERDICT: Given that Winnie The Pooh makes more money for Disney than Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Pluto and Goofy combined, it’s surprising how long it’s taken them to treat the little guy with some respect. His early, Oscar-winning featurettes from the ‘60s and early ‘70s were truly magical, and this feature is clearly a painstaking attempt to revisit such magic. It’s certainly a far cry from the second-rate fluff churned out in the intermediate years, and the little ‘uns will love it. Still not as good though as those first three outings.
