Winnie The Pooh Movie Trailer

The movie is inspired by the “Winnie The Pooh” stories from author A.A. Milne and the animated movie is great for all ages. We thought the events in the movie were really entertaining, the characters were a blast to follow as they journeyed throughout the Hundred Acre Wood, and the 60 minute run time was perfect for any child.

Also when you pick up “Winnie The Pooh” on Blu-ray and DVD you’ll get to watch the animated shorts “The Ballad of Nessie” and “Mini-Adventures of Winnie the Pooh: The Balloon.” Here is a full list of the bonus features:

Blu-ray Bonus Features:

- Exclusive bonus short “Mini-Adventures of Winnie the Pooh: The Balloon” – In this charming short, Pooh comes up with a daring plan to get a hold of some honey by fooling a group of bees. 
- “The Ballad of Nessie” – The animated short film included in the theatrical release is the heartwarming tale of how Nessie found her new home in the Loch Ness. 
- “Winnie the Pooh and His Story Too” – A fun and informative behind-the-scenes look at the film, designed for the whole family. Hosted by John Cleese (narrator of the film), and with occasional help fromPooh himself, this featurette explores Winnie the Pooh’s history from his beginnings as a character in a book, to his continued life in the movies. The filmmakers reveal how they worked to keep the look of the characters and settings in this movie consistent with their first appearances on-screen in1966. Pooh, being a bear of very little mind, finds much of this confusing, but the Narrator and the filmmakers make it all clear to Pooh – and you!

Here is a description of the movie from Disney:

”Disney returns to the Hundred Acre Wood with ‘Winnie the Pooh.’ Featuring the timeless charm, wit and whimsy of the original featurettes, this all-new movie reunites audiences with the philosophical ‘bear of very little brain’ and friends Tigger, Rabbit, Piglet, Owl, Kanga, Roo – and last, but certainly not least, Eeyore, who has lost his tail. ‘Ever have one of those days where you just can’t win, Eeyore?’ asks Pooh. Owl sends the whole gang on a wild quest to save Christopher Robin from an imaginary culprit. It turns out to be a very busy day for a bear who simply set out to find some honey. Disney’s all-new ‘Winnie the Pooh” movie is inspired by three stories from A.A. Milne’s books in Disney’s classic, hand-drawn art.”
