WINNIE P POOHS GRAND ADV-SEARCH FOR CHRISTOPHER ROBIN (DVD/WS 1.66/FR-SP-DU DVD

Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin
In this animated story for the family from Disney, Christopher Robin and his stuffed bear Winnie The Pooh are best friends and love to spend their days together. However, the time has come for Christopher to begin going to school. He doesn't have the hear to break the news to Pooh, so he leaves a note for him before leaving for the first day of classes. However, Pooh gets confused and is somehow convinced Christopher has been spirited away to Skull Island; he bands together Tigger, Piglet and Rabbit to stage a rescue mission as only they can. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day
Winnie The Pooh & the Blustery Day was the second Disney animated featurette based on characters created by A. A. Milne. It was released December 20, 1968, two years and ten months after the first Disney "Pooh Corner" tales, Winnie the Pooh & the Honey Tree. As in the earlier film, Sterling Holloway delightfully supplies the voice of Pooh bear, while Sebastian Cabot serves as narrator. The light-as-a-feather storyline concerns the efforts by Pooh and his pals-Christopher Robin, Eeyore, Owl, Piglet et. al.-to contend with a windstorm. Of Disney's four "Pooh Corner" cartoon shorts, only Winnie the Pooh & the Blustery Day received an Oscar. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day
Whimsical fantasy is difficult to pull off, especially over an extended period of time. The Winnie the Pooh cartoons (especially those created for television) quickly lost sight of the delicate qualities that made them special. However, the series is still fresh and unsullied in the second film, Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day. The animation -- which started to suffer by the last of the theatrical shorts and took a further nosedive during the television entries -- is of a very high quality, with careful character animation and lovely backgrounds that seem to have popped right out of the original books. The mini-score is sprightly, with the cute and engaging "The Rain, Rain, Rain Came Down, Down, Down," the exuberant "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers," and the intoxicating "Heffalumps and Woozles." The last named affords a most impressive (and hallucinogenic) feat of animation, an homage to the "Pink Elephants On Parade" sequence in Dumbo. The introduction of Tigger threatens to disturb the delicate humor, as he is distinctly more boisterous and rowdy, in a peculiarly American way, than in the books, but the creators manage to rein him in just enough so that he serves as a welcome added spice. As usual, the voices are perfection. Blustery Day is a movie that will charm adults as much as it entrances children. ~ Craig Butler, All Movie Guide
