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.

Winnie the Pooh generates smiles and chuckles from start to finish with its good-natured, episodic story of Pooh and friends going on a wild-goose chase to find a supposedly missing Christopher Robin…

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.

It’s a pleasure to sink into an animated family movie from Disney that radiates charm with a gentleness that seems damn near revolutionary.

TOP CRITIC
In an era of hyperactive, overly verbal 3-D animated entertainment, I hope there is still room for a film as sweet and gentle as Winnie the Pooh. At the screening I attended it seemed like the young adults in the audience were enjoying it even…

The tale of the yellow silly bear and his teddy friends is as hollow as an empty honey pot. [Full review in Spanish]

A calm, slower paced, fun film that should charm the socks off families while entertaining them in a unique way, without all the bells and whistles of CGI and 3D.

I admit Winnie the Pooh wasn’t really made for me but I can appreciate a film made with TLC outside of my target demographic.

[“Winnie the Pooh”] is rebelliously pleasant, seditiously low-key and blessedly loyal to the spirit, look and tone of Milne’s stories, Ernest H. Shepard’s book illustrations and its beloved ’60s short films.
