This movie was released in 1997 and is the third direct to video sequel after Return of Jafar and Aladdin and the King of thieves (which I haven't seen them). The movie is about Winnie and his friends going on a quest to find Christopher Robin after he left a letter that said that he was at the lair of the Skullasaurus. As you can see, it's more adventurous than most Pooh movies, which is a complain for most critics. But I like the adventure aspect, it makes the movie more entertaining that other Pooh movies (in my opinion) and also makes it more thrilling. Another positive point is that compared to return of Jafar and Aladdin and the king of thieves, the animation is a big upgrade, the movements feels more fluid, the colors are nice and the backgrounds are very pretty. The song wherever you are is also pretty good (both the version sung by Winnie and the one in the credits). I had to point a flaw it would be the ending, which feels very anticlimactic, manly because the fact that there is no Skullasaurus, which I would have liked to see one. But even with that flaw, Pooh's grand adventure is still a great movie that deserve more attention and love.

I generally like animated films, but I found this one to be more like a feature-length cartoon with little to interest an adult audience. The several scenes of Tigger and Piglet falling from high places reminded me of a Road Runner cartoon, and Pooh's singing and simple missives on life--although true to the Winnie-the-Pooh franchise--seemed excessively sappy. Most of Disney's newer animated features have inside jokes, clever dialogue, and memorable songs that will help keep adults entertained while they watch with their kids. Pooh's Grand Adventure is lacking any of that. This straight-to-video movie will probably hold the attention of small children for an hour, but I would recommend parents find something else to do while their kids watch.

Pooh's Grand Adventure, while inferior to the previous installment, is still perfectly acceptable in its own right. This is the saddest Winnie the Pooh film in my memory, but is yet the most delightful because of its message and the way it shows it. The moral is even if you're not accompanied by that special someone, you have them in your heart at all times. What animated film dares tell you something as strong as Winnie the Pooh? My favorite thing that I've admired about the Pooh cartoons is the fact that they are an act of innocence and are as gentle as a feather. There is never any mention of "death" in the show, or even the slightest hint. Even if someone falls from an very high ledge or tree, they brush themselves off, and move on to the next activity.The plot is reminiscent of the latest movie installment. Christopher Robin is going back to school, but because of Pooh's desire not to hear the news he has, he doesn't tell him. Pooh wakes up to an unaccompanied tree, and no Christopher Robin in sight. Only a note and a jar of honey on Pooh's doorstep. He rounds up the gang, with the exception of Kanga and Roo, and head over to Owl's with the note and jar of honey. Owl says the note says something about Christopher Robin needs help over at School, which he mistakes for "skull." They all become braver than a bee, and stronger than they seem and go on a hunt for their friend.The sadness and tear-jerking moments flood this short but sweet special. But they aren't like a crying fit more than like a beautiful sadness. Even though things look down, the gang is optimistic about Christopher Robin's return and they keep smiling all the way through the trip.Like many Pooh specials, there isn't much to say either than they are wonderfully animated, wonderfully told, and just an all out pleasure on screen. Each character all targets a specific feeling or emotion in one's character, and together, it's like they fill everyone's set of emotions. It's beautiful beyond the simplicity and happiness it brings to children.Voiced by: Jim Cummings, Ken Sansom, John Fiedler, Paul Winchell, Peter Cullen, and Brady Bluhm. Directed by: Karl Geurs.

I don't think it is quite as good as The Many Adaventures of Winnie the Pooh, which was one of the better films of the 60s-70s. Winnie the Pooh's Most Grand Adaventure is a charming and sweet film, that is noticeably quieter in tone to the 1977 film, but for me that is never an excuse for not liking a film. The animation is lovely, with lovely colours, and fairly true in style to the 1977 film. The voice talents are very good, particularly John Fiedler and Paul Winchell as Piglet and Tigger. Jim Cummings is also good as Pooh, but I don't think David Warner was as thoughtful enough a narrator as Sebastian Cabot, though I still liked him. The story is fast moving and the dialogue is delightfully humorous, but there may be some elements that may scare young children. Also, although sweet, adults will find the songs a bit limp, that said Forever and Ever is so touching. All in all, a sweet and charming film. 8/10 Bethany Cox.
