Disney's 1977 The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh may be the last word on (animated) Pooh because it so faithfully honors the first word on Pooh, penned in the 1920s by British storyteller A.A. Milne. Gently paced, subtly humorous, and blessedly understated, this adaptation reflects Walt Disney's original vision to develop the beloved British bear for a wider audience. The film is essentially a collection of the original Pooh shorts, "The Honey Tree," "The Blustery Day," and "Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too." These storybooks are presented in seamless "chapters," narrated by the timeless Sebastian Cabot. The familiar musical score and original voices of Sterling Holloway as Pooh, and Paul Winchell as Tigger, cap this enchanting keepsake. (Ages 2 and up). --Lynn Gibson

Ever since I was a little kid, I've loved this movie! I watched it recently, and I still like it! I love all the characters and how Winnie is always using unorthodox methods of getting honey. I love how they work together. I love how Eeyore is so depressed, and Piglet is so cute! Roo's mom, Kanga is smokin' hot! (Just kidding) I remember in 1st grade, we watched this, and we put on a stick-play, and one of my characters was Tigger. If you love Winnie the Pooh, you'll love THE MANY ADVENTURES OF WINNIE THE POOH!!!

Disney really could have crammed ALL the Winnie the Pooh theatrical shorts onto this disc. As it is, we're given three strung together as one (Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree, Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day and Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too!) with some new footage (in much the same way as Daffy Duck's Quackbusters). Because of this, there is no consistent story from beginning to end other than the usual hapless, hijinks of the animals from Hundred Acre Wood. I really would have preferred the complete original cartoons, but that's why I don't work for Disney.
They certainly don't make cartoons like this anymore though (too busy with soulless rubbish like Meet the Robinsons [Blu-ray]). TMAOWTP was certainly one of their last greats of old-school animation. The seasonal colors of Hundred Acre Wood and the backgrounds are rather enchanting and atmospheric. I actually had a huge poster from Winnie Pooh and the Blustery Day on my bedroom wall when I was a kid and I could literally look at it for hours as there was so much detail to it.
I'm not too keen on Christopher Robin though, he's just a bit too effeminate for me. I hear that Disney are planning on replacing him with a tomboyish girl for future Winnie the Pooh projects. Well, I'm fine with that. The Disney-fied Pooh deviates so far from AA Milne's creation that one more alteration is hardly significant.
The only other short is A Day For Eeyore. It's Eeyore's birthday, but none of his so-called friends have bothered to notice. Pooh has made a new game involving chucking sticks into the river to see which one wins in a race. He calls it 'Pooh Sticks'. Now, where I come from that particular noun means something completely different.
When Eeyore comes floating along they realize that he is more depressed than usual. When he reveals why the day is supposed to be so special they all run off to find makeshift presents and prepare a party. It actually works, and he cheers up.
A fine Winnie the Pooh short, with the great animation and wonderful backgrounds we've come to expect. It also keeps Christopher Robin to a minimum.
And why don't they ever call him Winnie?
