Winnie the Pooh - Springtime with Roo

I usually love everything Winnie the Pooh that comes along. This movie is almost painful to watch. There aren't any catchy songs, the storyline is stretched thin, and Rabbit's character is downright mean (I might even go as far as to say that he's abusive, while the other characters try to make excuses for him). The only glint of wit in it is when Tigger makes a Dickens reference, as this is an unabashed and abyssmal rip-off of a Dickens classic. Even my children are less than thrilled with it, and at ages 2 and 4 they are usually easy to please, as long as it's animated. The younger child is now afraid of Rabbit. Don't waste your money on this one: Pooh's Heffalump Movie, Piglet's BIG Movie, The Tigger Movie are all so much better!

What can you say, it is Pooh and friends, but this allows Roo to shine in the spotlight. We had bought this movie before, and it got broken, now that we have it again, it is watched alot, has taught her to see what she has heard about the workings of Easter

My 2 1/2 year-old son loves all things Pooh and I guess this is no exception. Unfortunately for him, he won't be watching it again. I don't understand why Disney decided to make an "Easter" DVD that had nothing to do with Easter. I mean they could have done a "springtime" DVD (as the show's title would imply) with their own made-up holiday, but that's not the case here. I imagine that non-Christian parents wouldn't want their kids watching anything having to do with Christian holidays, whereas Christian parents will likely be confused and disappointed by how this DVD repeatedly tries to explain "the true meaning of Easter" without ever even alluding to Christian doctrine. I certainly don't look to Disney for spiritual enlightenment, but neither do I expect from them such pointless and confusing children's fare. Please look to Heffalump, The Tigger Movie, or Piglet's Big Movie for more wholesome, innocent entertainment.

If there is justice in the universe, the ghost of A.A. Milne haunts Michael Eisner on a nightly basis for films like this one.

The plotline is almost indecipherable, and the references to "Easter" are absolutely pointless since what you have here is a determinedly secular film trying to dance around the meaning of a religious holiday.

At one point, Rabbit actually physically throws the other characters out of his house in a way that is almost violent. For anyone who has grown up loving what the Pooh stories were originally all about, this film is a new low.

We rented this movie from Blockbuster. A part when rabbit's friends are missing was his worst nightmare
