Winnie the Pooh - Seasons of Giving (1999)

It's Sweet

My son really likes this Whinnie the Pooh story. It really is a sweet little Christmas story. I'm happy my son likes it. I, however, can not watch it as frequently as he does. It's cute the first time and maybe once a year, in my opinion. But they didn't make this movie for me. September 18, 2008

Winnie the Pooh - Seasons of Giving

A great addition to the classic Winnie-the-Pooh series I grew up with! My 2 year old daughter LOVES Winnie-the-Pooh and this was no exception! This newer segment of the favorite are just as engaging and fun! It offers the same quiet presentation of life's lessons as the classic ones do. We both have watched this again and again!

Winnie the Pooh - Season of Giving

The kids, including neighbors, thoroughly enjoy this DVD, as do most of the parents. Or course, most of us adults are dedicated Pooh people, so we may be somewhat prejudiced. December 28, 2007

Another classic for the Thanksgiving and Christmas collection

This is another great DVD to add to your Thanksgiving AND Christmas video collection. It has a touch of both holidays in it. With the way Thanksgiving is pretty much forgotten these days, it is nice to have a few Thanksgiving themed holiday specials to watch. The transition from video to digital was very nice. No editing that I could tell between the versions. It is defintiely worth ordering!

I found it irritating.

It's a little misleading to call this a "movie". It's actually one (or two?) features, one stuffed into the other. Newer footage leads into a "remember when...." segment, which is an older feature (different animation style - perhaps some different voices, or at least different recording quality).

Still, it's a sweet enough story and children probably wont mind the "old tv special stuffed into a new movie" package.

The problem I had with this movie is the voice of the little bird. ::shudder:: An adult trying to talk like a baby I guess... Lots of squeaky whining and mispronunciation of words as only an adult poorly imitating a toddler can do. Mind you, I like most of the sweet character voice acting of the Pooh movies. But this reminded me of someone talking baby-talk to their poodle. It was just irritating.

If watch movies over and over with your child(ren) the voice of the bird may well drive you batty.

If you're children have never seen a Pooh movie, skip this and try "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" or "Pooh's Heffalump Movie". Two family favorites in this house!
