Introducing the cutest and most innocent and likable character in the world! *A little spoiler later on*.Winnie the Pooh is really cute and that is a fact! But aside from cuteness this movie offers a lot of clever fourth wall jokes, memorable songs and all our favorite characters from A. A. Milne's beloved tales. It also has an excellent scene of Pooh dreaming about some scary creatures accompanied with an amazing song and animation (won't spoil it). What can I say? Go watch it! And if you do not like it, you do not have a heart or a soul!

My thoughts are basically summed up in the title: Pooh's adventures are every bit as sweet as his favourite food. For as long as I can remember I have simply adored Winnie the Pooh, as well as Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit, Owl, Kanga, Roo, and Eeyore. They, as well as Christopher Robin, all show up in this lively little collection of shorts. The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh includes Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree, Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day, and Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too. In Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree, Pooh, with the help of Christopher Robin, decides to find a way to get honey from a tree undetected. Christopher Robin gives Pooh a balloon and paints him to resemble a rain cloud. Later at Rabbit's house, Pooh eats so much that he gets stuck in Rabbit's door. Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day is about how a windy day knocks over Owl's house and the gang have to find him a new one. That night, Tigger visits Pooh and tells him about how Heffalumps and Woozles steal honey, causing Pooh to dream about them. The next morning, Pooh wakes up to a flood and climbs into a tree with all his honey pots. Piglet meanwhile, has been swept from his house on a chair while Pooh falls into the water with a honey pot on his head. Finally, Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too tells of how Rabbit, after being bounced by Tigger for the umpteenth time, holds a meeting with Pooh and Piglet. The trio travel through the foggy woods with Tigger, but Pooh, Piglet, and Rabbit end up separated from each other: Pooh and Piglet keep passing the exact same sandpit while Rabbit gets lost in the deep woods and begins freaking out. When it snows, Roo and Tigger go off together but get stuck up a tree. Roo manages to bounce down onto Christopher Robin's coat but Tigger is afraid and promises never to bounce again. With reassurance from the narrator, Tigger climbs down on the words and once on the ground he starts to bounce but is reminded of his promise. This causes Tigger to go off alone but he returns when everyone else agrees that they prefer the old Tigger and everyone starts bouncing. Overall, spectacular story, music, and animation, a gentle narrator, and characters that I have grown to love.

1) Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree - This 20-minute, Grammy award nominated, animated short film from almost 50 years ago was actually the first appearance of the honey-addicted bear Winnie the Pooh on the screen. The director is German Wolfgang Reitherman. You could basically divide it into two parts. In the first half, Pooh Bear realizes that he has no more honey left. So he goes to get some, but obviously taking honey means getting in trouble with bees. And that's exactly what happens. After he and his pal Christopher Robin are chased by a huge quantity of bees, he gives up and thinks about other ways to get honey. Thankfully, his rabbit buddy still has some and so he visits him and eats it all up. Unfortunately, afterward, Pooh is too fat to get out of the rabbit hole and he is stuck. Christopher Robin knows no solution either, so Pooh Bear has to wait till he loses enough weight to get out on his own again. Of course, he still wants to eat honey while he is stuck. I have to say this was not a horrible short film by any means, but it's still too little material for over 20 minutes in my opinion. This was the first Pooh Bear film, was even made before the Soviet adaptation, but it's certainly not the best. Not recommended.2) Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day - They say when you have nothing to talk about you just talk about the weather and this also applies to this 20-minute short film. Basically, everything that happens in here is massive rainfall and resulting from it a huge flood. The director is Wolfgang Reitherman again and this one here won an Oscar even, the last for Walt Disney, quite a while after his death already. It was the second entry to the American Pooh series. However, I felt that just like with the first there was too little interesting action in here. Tigger was entirely forgettable really in here. Even his presentation was nothing special. Piglet added something nice and also shows us that Pooh is not only an always-hungry bear, but also a loyal friend. But the ending was so weird nonetheless. Owl randomly moves into Piglet's home and he just have to go? That was so strange. Why wouldn't the owl simply move in with Pooh. Anyway, all in all certainly one of the weaker Academy Award winners from the Best Animated Short Film category. Not recommended.3) Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too - This is the third and last of the Winnie Pooh trilogy by Wolfgang Reitherman and Sterling Holloway. Just like the second, it got nominated for an Academy Award, but this time it did not win. After watching all three of these I have to say that I prefer the 3 Soviet Films about Winnie Pooh. They have as much action as these American films, but it's much more essential as not all of the Russian films run for 20 minutes. There's just not enough happening in here. I even wondered after the first how Rabbit became a friend of everybody and after watching this third film I have to ask that question again. I mean he is really mean to Tigger here. Yes the bouncing may be annoying, but why forbid him to do it. And what was up with that Hansel & Gretel idea of leaving him alone in the deserted forest? Seriously? That's just cruel. In any case, I do not recommend this third film either.

This movie made me remembered the time I read the books this and other film adaptations were based on by A.A Milne and I loved them as much as anyone else who became fans of his work. I also remembered watching this as a young child and I loved it ever since because you can never be too old for such great Disney classics.The story is faithful to A.A Milne's works and the three segments that were from the book were portrayed quite well and considered as timeless. The characters are likable. Pooh is a lovable fat bear who likes to eat some delicious honey, Piglet is a timid and cute little pig who is afraid of everything, and others including the bouncy Tigger were also likable. The voice acting for those characters, including the narration from Sebastian Cabot is excellent to the very start and the music is light-hearted and memorable, but the strongest aspect is the animation which details the look of the homes described from the imagination of the author's books and the character animation is pretty good too.Overall, The Many Adventures of Winnie-The-Pooh is an excellent Disney classic and is one of the best ones yet!
