It's our favorite bear of a very little brain in his first adventure in almost 35 years. Winnie the Pooh is perhaps one of the best films of 2011. It adapts two stories from the classic book series by A.A. Milne, and does them well. And good gravy... HAND DRAWN ANIMATION!!! That's something we rarely see with reintroducing new generations of kids to familiar characters, and Hollywood would rather do the safe bet (live-action/CGI hybrids). It's ridiculous, and I'm glad Disney is one of the few Hollywood studios that wants to reboot familiar cartoon franchises the right way.
The film's executive producer, John Lasseter should be applauded for making this happen, the Pixar folks never fail to impress me, not only for their own work, but fixing up the studio that preceded them with box office smashes.This was a great movie! The unfortunate thing is that it opened against the final Harry Potter flick, and we all know who will win that battle. Anyway, back to my final thoughts on the movie. It you haven't seen this, go to the theater and see it, I guarantee that you will love it.
Final Grade: A
