Something about this franchise is just so innocent and earnest that it’s essentially impossible to hate. This could have made it difficult to review, but luckily The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is an excellent film in any case.

It of course has some of the most lovable characters in the Disney Animated Canon, in addition to some lovely animation, especially considering the declining quality in the other films of this era.

The stories are of course as charming as the characters and the episodic plot structure works remarkably well here, due to A.A Milne’s classic books having the same narrative. Additionally, an issue with the narratives a lot of films going down the same route is a lack of character development and overall cohesiveness. But here- well…it’s Winnie the Pooh, so the appeal is in the characters and individual stories rather than anything else.

The music is of course great too- all of the songs have a really fun atmosphere which matches the tone of the film overall.

Like I said before, it would have been impossible to hate this film anyway, but the animation and music also help to make it great.  

Rating

Good guys: Some of the most likable characters in the canon give this movie a 9/10 on this one

Bad guys: N/A- (but just to even out the score, any film with N/A will automatically get 6/10)

Animation: The animation is as charming as the film itself, so it gets 7/10

Music: As fun as the rest of the Sherman brother’s work, the music gets 8/10

Plot: Sweet and heart-warming, the story gets 8/10

Overall Rating: 38/50
