So this was kind of a throw back to the original movie as it makes every effort to mimic the style and tone of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.
The dialogue is very clever and A. A. Milne-esque in some respects, however it was also a tad more high speed and modern that I expected. In some regard it reminded me of a Saturday morning cartoon. The plot in particular was reminiscent of a Looney Tunes short. It was a musical, which was totally unnecessary. I suppose the original was a musical as well, but the characters themselves rarely participated in the singing, which fits the tone of A.A. Milne much better.
Anyway as a devout fan of the original I think this new feature falls short of its predecessor. Having said that, it is only 57 minutes long and the kids will love it I'm sure. There is also a short before hand about the Loch Ness Monster that was delightful in every respect.
