    SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

    The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

    A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

    Something that I should mention is that I simply adore Winnie the Pooh. I love the fun stories, the great characters, the pretty landscapes, the wonderful music, and the overall innocent feel. Unlike other incarnations, The Book of Pooh relies on puppetry rather than regular animation, but it succeeds at what it does just as well. Kanga and Roo don't make many appearances but it must be kind of hard to make Kanga and Roo puppets (or a Christopher Robin puppet for that matter). However, we do encounter Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit, Owl, and Eeyore, as well as Cassie (the bluebird in The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh). There's also a narrator like the one in The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. The songs are also very nice and memorable, I especially enjoy the goodbye song at the end of each episode. I must admit that I have a soft spot for Tigger, as he reminds me of myself when I was little (yes, I was that excited about everything all the time). The idea is to teach phonics and each episode centers around some aspect of reading readiness. There's one episode where the narrator gets confused and everyone switches roles, like Pooh is bouncing, Tigger is eating honey, Cassie is gardening, and Eeyore is flying (or trying to).

    At 17, I admit I like this show. While not like the books by AA Milne, other than the characters' names, it is cute and charming and nice for preschoolers. The stories are a little on the predictable side, and I admit Rabbit is more bossy than he is in New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, the 1977 film The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh(based on the 3 shorts Honey Tree, Tigger Too and Blustery Day) and the books. However, the background scenery is colourful and nice to look at, the puppetry is above average, the voices are fine and the songs are sweet and memorable in general. I have always had a soft spot for Tigger, he reminds me of my sister when she was little, but I also like the little bluebird Kassie. In conclusion, I like it. 8/10 Bethany Cox

    I read the Tao of Pooh, which focuses on the East Asian philosophy and the innocence of Pooh. I think Pooh as a concept from England is characteristic of other myth created in England such as Alice in Wonderland. Innocence is a difficult concept to teach once we have been born into a world of environmental stress. For this reason I like to see more of Pooh associated with emptiness type philosophy such as Zen Buddhism as well. Pooh as a constant empty vessel that gets filled with different ideas is both comical and distressful. Because it makes the character of Pooh seem like they can not learn, which I do think is relevant for any animal. So, as the symbol of innocence Pooh has both good and bad concepts founded in education. This is why I say it is more the Tao of Pooh.

    "The Book of Pooh" is the second live-action TV adaption of A.A. Milne's beloved character Winnie the Pooh and friends have gotten by Disney. The first was "Welcome to Pooh Corner" some years back, which featured full-body costumes and not so much puppets, as this one does.I love puppetry, a big fan of Sesame Street and the Muppets myself, but I have a feeling that the move to puppets was made to crank out more of the popular 'Pooh' faster than is possible with animation. Here, the foam and fleece characters don't have much restriction to their movements. The backgrounds are all punched in on a blue screen, so it seems the puppeteers were free to move about the stage.I guess kids who like Pooh can be happy because their pushing out tons of these, but theres nothing special about the stories and the presentation is a bit fluffy.
