Winnie The Pooh (U)

Animation, Family

The critical consensus

As jolly as Tigger, as sweet as honey and as undemanding as a balloon ride, this will delight the wee'uns and put a smile on the face of animation fans of all ages.

This well-meant attempt at emulating the charm of the Mouse House’s ’60s excursions into the Hundred Acre Wood still falls short.

(*) (*) (*) Neil Smith, Total Film, 13/04/2011

Young cinemagoers will enjoy the simple story, easy-osey style and songs, and there are some good giggles too.

A gentle, modest pleasure.

(*) (*) Cath Clarke, The Guardian, 14/04/2011

Though the regular pit-stops for a mixed bag of songs add little, the friendship moral is a strong one and the hand drawn animation recreates Hundred Acre Wood in a way that would do E.H. Shepard proud.

Lovely to look at but...

Young children should enjoy it but adults hoping for a transporting nostalgia trip may feel short-changed.

(*) (*) Henry Fitzherbert, Daily Express, 15/04/2011

It's enchanting and gentle enough to work for young kids making their first trips to the cinema.
