VHS Movie Reviews of Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree [VHS]

Movie Review: The Best.
Summary: 5 Stars

Adapted from Winnie-The-Pooh(1926) and The House At Pooh Corner (1928)by A.A. (alan Alexander) Milne(1882-1956),Illustrated by E.H. (Ernie Howard) Shepard (1879-1976).The main characters are Christopher Robin Milne and Winnie-The-Pooh(the stuffed bear).4 summers ago,when I was 6 1/2 ,I went to Target Drug store -the one in Walnut Creek,CA Usa to be exact-I received Winnie-The-Pooh (1966).It is a great toddler video.But eventhough I am NOT a toddler anymore, I still LOVE it.This wasn't really what you would call a movie.It was just a theatrical short viewed before a movie in theatres to enjoy.Only the 1hour films by Disney are movies. Besides,it's only about 25 minutes.It starred Sterling Halloway(1899-1992)as pooh, Bruce Reitherman(who also did the voice of Mowgli in The Jungle Book)(1956-)as Christopher Robin,Hal Smith(1916-1994)as Owl and Ralph Wright as Eeyore.It also featured John Fiendler (1925-) as Piglet.The 5 songs were "Winnie-The-Pooh","When I up-down,touch the ground","I'm so rumbily in my tumbily","I'm just a little black rain cloud" and "Hooray!".The last of the the theatrical shorts to be produced by Walt Disney(1902-1966).It was the first theatrical short about Pooh Bear.The animation was great!I love the opening piece of music.THe A.A. milne books were good,too!Ever since that "willy nilly silly ole bear"was first brought to life in theatres,He was one of the most best-loved Disney characters in all 7 continents.TTFN

Movie Review: A timeless classic
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a wonderfully charming tape, that is a true classic for kids and parents to share together.

In the story, Pooh tries to get honey to fill his honey pot. He climbs a tree, and eventually gets stuck in the rabbit hole. It features Sterling Holloway (1899-1992) as Pooh, Junius Matthews (1890-1978) as Rabbit. Also features John Fiedler (1925-) as Piglet, and Hal Smith (1916-1994) as Owl.

I recommend this video to everyone who loves classic movies.

Movie Review: The classic tales are by far the best for toddlers
Summary: 5 Stars

We are absolutely thrilled with this collection. My daughter is now two, and she's been watching them since about 18mo. These older stories are much easier for little ones to follow than the current Disney Pooh stories on TV, and, according to my daughter, they're less "scary" as well. My husband and I also prefer the theme songs and the narrator to today's more updated version. My daughter knows all of the lyrics to the theme song now.

Movie Review: Best and oldest Pooh Movie
Summary: 5 Stars

I think that this story is the best Pooh movie because it is the first one released by Disney in 1966. The voices are great, the color is fabulous, the animation is amazing, and the music really helps you get a deeper understanding about what is happening.

This story has a lot of action like when Pooh rolls around in the mud to trick the bees, and when he falls from the tree, and when he is flying through the air with the bees.

I thought a few things about it. In the book by A.A Milne, when they pull him out, he falls on top of them. In the Disney version, he flies into the honey tree.

I thought this is the best Pooh offering because it was the first, and how the first usually has the most magic. I love this story because it is so cute and nice and the friends are trying to help him in many ways, like when they all help pull him out of the hole.

I have had the movie for a long time, and I have always loved the story, because a lot happens, and how the story has a lot to think about. I think it is so cute when he is singing the rain cloud song, and flying over the tree. This movie is full of Magic!

Movie Review: The first video I ever "owned!"
Summary: 5 Stars

This is 100% classic! The storyline is as gentle and un-scary for little kids as it gets and it's also very engaging and entertaining. I remember, even as a little one I loved how the whole thing was played out like it was a book, and I love the sequence at the beginning with the stuffed animals and the scratchy filming! Possibly the best video ever for the very very young!

Summary of Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree [VHS]

Four Winnie the Pooh shorts are repackaged into one set: Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree (1966), the Oscar-winning Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day (1968), Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too! (1974), and Winnie the Pooh and a Day For Eeyore (1983). The first three were strung together in 1997 as the popular film The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. The merits of these adaptations of A.A. Milne's classic tales are up to debate, but the impact that these shorts--especially the first Two--had on kids and parents in America is not. Winnie (the Disney version, anyway) became an icon for millions of kids and parents. The vocal talent is exceptional, including Sterling Holloway's Pooh, Paul Winchell's Tigger, and Ralph Wright's Eeyore (Wright also penned the adaptations). The two later stories lost some of the voices and some of the magic, but Pooh fans will enjoy these tales, which had varying degrees of success but share the same distinctive pedigree. --Doug Thomas

The homogenized Disney version of Pooh Bear is so firmly established by now that it has virtually supplanted the classic A.A. Milne/Ernest Shephard renditions of the Hundred Acre Wood characters, introduced in a series of British children's books first published in the 1920s. This initial installment won director Wolfgang Reitherman (The Jungle Book) a 1966 Oscar for Best Animated Short Film, and at the time the prize seemed a bad joke, a self-administered pat on the back for deflavorized commercial kid-culture. The Disneyfication of the planet has progressed to the point that this early, gentle, tuneful outing looks pretty benign, almost a beloved artifact in its own right. The sickly songs by Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman (Mary Poppins) qualify as camp classics. The inimitable growly tones of Sterling Holloway, as Pooh, are a definite asset, although the melancholy donkey Eeyore (voice by Ralph Wright, who also wrote the screenplay) is probably the most successful page-to-screen translation, lugubrious and droll at the same time. --David Chute
