Well please go watch “The Tigger Movie”, “The piglet movie”, “The heffalump movie”, “Pooh’s Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin” and then after you recover from about 8 hours of complete animated crapola sit down and watch “The many adventures of Winnie the Pooh” and tell me that any of those other films remotely capture the spirit or wonder of the original.

In the original Disney did a fair job of capturing the AA Milnes world and characters, disneyfied, of course, but the shades of their inspiration were there, after that, nope just a property to be exploited without any thought or consideration to their source.

And to play to the pun, ever man should take his Pooh seriously, if it doesn’t float, you need more fiber.

Actually, the original “Adventure’s of Winnie the Pooh” DVD that you may own is made up of three Shorts (or mini movies) that are bridged together. They were not originally shown together as one movie but were shown individually before Disney Feature movies.

It wasn’t until the advent of VHS that they were linked together and packaged as one feature movie.

Here's an informative Pooh blog, Just Pooh. I agree with Ham that the 2000 Disney movie was a travesty. Some things are so perfect in the original that almost any adaptation is going to be a disappointment.
