Winnie the Pooh Review

Ah, Winnie the Pooh. *Singing*Deep in the hundred acre wood where Christopher Robin Plays...Oh! I totally don't know that whole opening...yeah..I am a man! Okay I do. Winnie the Pooh was part of my childhood as much as G.I.Joe and Batman: The Animated Series. Every time I see something having to do with the Hundred Acre Wood I feel a tidal wave of nostalgia. So when I saw that a new movie was coming out in a classic animated style I just had to see it. So my sister and I went today. Wow. Talk about feeling like a kid.
The whole gang is back in this enjoyable family fun adventure. The plot is very simple: Pooh and friends find a note that really says "Vry buzzey, bak soon. C.R." But they believe that he has been taken by a monster named The Backson! So an adventure to save Christopher Robin begins along with a side plot of everyone looking for Eyore's tail. So that was fun and I loved the fun yet simple story but they had to go further and almost make me emotional with nostalgia by adding a recreation of the original opening plus a new version of the original song! That was a brilliant move! The only problem I had is that I would have liked if Peter Cullen was back as Eyore but the person who did to Eyore was very good. Only thing I can say is if you grew up with Pooh Bear or if you have kids you should go see it.
I give it a 5/5
