Winnie the Pooh - A Very Merry Pooh Year (2002)

Winnie the Pooh - A Very Merry Pooh Year

Wonderful addition to the Winnie-the-Pooh family! I purchased this along with Winnie the Pooh - Seasons of Giving, and the new Disney show My Friends Tigger & Pooh - Super Sleuth Christmas Movie and am glad I did! This full length feature follows both perfectly as the gang counts down to New Year's recalling favorite memories. My 2-year-old daughter loves this and the others so much, she requests them each day and I'm happy to have her watch them! It is just good old fashioned fun that brings back my own memories that I'm happy to share with my daughter! January 12, 2008

Happy New Year, Pooh and Friends!

Actually, more like New Year's and Christmas, as that's what this DVD features.

The story begins with an opening segment in which Pooh Bear hides a present he has for Piglet. Then our friends gather together and tell little Roo about a past Christmas. This segment comes from the special "Winnie the Pooh and Christmas Too," featuring the characters from "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh." Pooh and his friends are getting ready for Christmas. They decide to make a Christmas list and come up with all sorts of gifts that they want to give each other. But when the list is lost to the wind, Pooh and Piglet decide to dress up as Santa and a reindeer and make gifts.

Later, they recall a New Year's in which Rabbit wanted to move away because he was irritated Pooh's eating honey, Tigger's bouncing, Piglet's being afraid and Eeyore's gloominess. So they all made resolutions to change and swapped personalities.

One reason this production is neat is that it has Gopher in it --- he really isn't seen too much lately.

This movie features songs by Carly Simon (who also did the songs for the more recent "Piglet's Big Movie" and "Heffalump Movie") as well as by the characters. She does a great job, as always. The best is "Auld Lang Syne" (with Pooh-specific lyrics mixed in.) This is great, because you don't usually get to hear lyrics for this song these days, only the tune.

DVD special features include a "Covered in Snow" game, a "New Year's Eve" countdown and song selection with on-screen lyrics. These features aren't anything overly exciting, but they are fairly nice. The "Covered in Snow" game is a bit flawed in that you're supposed to choose objects, but it lets you choose the same ones over and over and doesn't progress the game any. Otherwise, good game. You can also put the DVD in your DVD-ROM drive (if you have one) to register it. January 3, 2006

Good Holiday movie

A good Holiday movie with all the usual cast. I watched this movie this morning with my nephew to introduce him to the Holiday *this is his first* and I enjoyed it as much as he seemed to! My only small complaint is that when they go into different part's of the story (ie the new year celebration) it seemed a little arkward. Other then that, two thumbs up.

I hope that this will become a holiday tradition. November 30, 2004
