The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (DVD, 2002)

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is perhaps my favorite movie of all time. Thousands of parents can also attest that it's a certain winner for the kiddies, maintaining family values without worry. This DVD shows our wonderful fluffy Poohbear in three vignette adventures. He's joined by Christopher Robin, that crabby ol' Rabbit, loveable Piglet and bouncy Tigger, as well as his other 100 Acre Wood friends.

The hand-colored animation is simply superb, using muted tones and a perfectly balanced pallette of color to please any animation fan. Songs are included within each vignette and your child, like me, will know each little tune by heart after just a couple of viewings.

The 25th Anniversary Edition DVD is loaded with bonus features which include: "The Making of ..", a Winnie the Pooh Art Gallery, "A Day for Eeyore", an interactive character puzzle game, and The Winnie the Pooh Theme Song (sung by Carly Simon). Two sneak previews for upcoming Pooh and Piglet movies are also included.

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is an excellent choice for family entertainment, sure to please young and old. And don't be surprised when you catch yourself humming the 'Little Black Rain Cloud' song while driving in your car.
