Watch Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin For Free

Memorable, crazy movie

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

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.

I found this movie to be really charming. The plot is that one day Christopher Robin goes missing, and a note is left. Owl translates his note to say that he is in the Skull, and Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit and Eeyore all go on an adventure to find him. Most notable about this movie are its songs. The songs in here are worthy of classic Disney musicals. The characters really do have a lot of development over the course of the movie, especially Piglet overcoming his fears. The only problem with this is the animation, which isn't bad, it just isn't great. I highly recommend this charming adventure, and personally think it's only second best to the original 1977 Pooh film.My rating: ****1/2 out of *****. 71 mins. Rated G.

The style doesn't belong but it works, somehow.When this film was new and I was young I thought it was cheesy and spoilt Winnie the Pooh.Now I'm older and am interested in things I've seen as a young child. I've dug out those old videos to see what sort of things I liked and hated back then (in case your wondering this was my brother's video that's why it's been left intact). I watched it and actually found myself laughing at those silly jokes and feeling quite emotional at Pooh's little song.Also is it just me or did that tree look like a skull when Pooh looks at it from Owl's window? It's a fun film to watch when you want to look back to the past. It's nice to watch in the gloom of early evenings in winter when the house is empty and quiet. A relaxing film.I did find bits of it still a little cheesy (I won't say what because I don't want to spoil the film).It's not really exciting but it doesn't need to be.The ending is a bit obvious if you can spell but who cares. You'll understand if you see the film.It's worth seeing. It's both funny and sad and possibly a little creepy for kids (it's a good point). And it is quite amusing to see how the characters deal with life with no Christopher Robin.

Keeping in mind that most of the crew from the original Classic are not "just around Pooh corner" this sequel could have been much more disappointing (Did I say "much"?). Disney did what they could by at least using the original voices to both Piglet and Tigger, but it appears to be just another attempt at raking in some cash. Jim Cummings shows amazing talent in his attempt to mimic the timeless voice of Sterling Holloway, however as the narrator, David Warner can't hold a candle to Sebastian Cabot. Disney could have made an extreme improvement had they chosen to follow the original technique of having it as though read from a book with chapters (showing the pages turning, etc.). Children will probably enjoy it (as is it's aim), but try not to set your hopes too high if you're over 10-12.
