Winnie the Pooh & Christmas Too (1991)

Best movie of this year hands down!

Memorable, crazy movie

Fresh and Exciting

Blistering performances.

Christmas special with Winnie the Pooh and his friends. It's a lovely, pleasant, cartoon. A very cute story that will put a smile on most faces. The main plot is about Pooh and friends writing to Santa giving him their wishlist for Christmas. What each of them wants is fun. Pooh tries to hand deliver the letter to the North Pole but doesn't make it. Everybody learns a valuable lesson about what's really important at Christmas. It's a nice Christmas story. Not one of the greats but enjoyable. Tigger, Piglet, Rabbit, Gopher, Eeyore are all here. Tigger gets the best lines, as usual. If you like Winnie the Pooh you'll like this cartoon. Give it a shot.

Winnie the Pooh is a Disney character that can not get a story wrong. His ability to make the audience giggle with joy over some of the silliest things is a powerful trait that some other characters don't seem to have enough of. The story of this short is quite simple. Pooh and his friends make a wish list with Christopher Robin to send to Santa. After making up the list, Pooh realizes he didn't put in anything for himself. Then on top of that, he notices that it's Christmas Eve once he starts adding his wish in. In a rush, he sends the letter on its way, only to have the winds change on him and the letter never sent. When he discovers this, he decides to take it into his own hands to personally deliver his friends their wanted gifts. He does this by dressing up as Santa and doing all kinds of goofy things.Some of the gifts Pooh brings to his friends are also very funny. All of which the audience gets great reactions from Rabbit, Eeyore and Tigger. Not to mention that Piglet is his feeble solo reindeer. The musical score by Steve Nelson was cute and a good listening experience as well. Still can't give the special a full score because it is not an original feature. Plus it was only 25 minutes to boot.It's an adorable little holiday special for any Winnie the Pooh lover. Just don't expect a real in-depth story.

As usual, there's not much in this Winnie the Pooh adventure for adults and the story is very, very simple. I like Disney's incarnation of this universe (far removed from AA Milne's world), but the TV series is the best way to enjoy it.This 1991 Xmas Special is introduced by the notorious Michael Eisner before quickly setting up a threadbare plot involving Christopher Robin sending a letter to Santa Claus for himself and his animal friends. Hardly exciting stuff but pleasant and intermittently funny nonetheless, Hundred Acre Wood also looks lovely covered in snow.A nice effort, but hardly one you're likely to remember.

Winnie the Pooh and Christmas Too! may not be *the* best Christmas special out there but it's certainly a Christmas classic. There are two segments to the program, one (my favorite) were Pooh mistakenly believes the letter he sent to Santa Claus doesn't get delivered. So, Pooh dresses up as Saint Nick, throws together some "presents" and try's to deliver them. The turn out is quite hilarious, with Tigger delivering some of the best lines. It's one of the best "New Pooh's" that have been made. The second segment has somewhat of a Dumbo storyline. Piglet believes he can't ice skate, but when he retrieves the "Magic Earmuffs" he can skate perfectly fine. Only when Piglet loses his earmuffs, disaster strikes. Everything turns out fine, and even though it's storyline is a little more predicable than the first, it's still a lot of fun to watch. Even though it isn't "A Charlie Brown Christmas" or "Rudolf the Red Nosed Raindeer" it's still wonderful, and I strongly recommend you seeing it!
