It's a pleasure to sink into an animated family movie from Disney that radiates charm with a gentleness that seems damn near revolutionary.

Disney doesn't offer much here that it hasn't done as well before.

"Winnie the Pooh" is a very full jar of honey indeed.

This is indeed good old Pooh, nothing to fear. No space robots or serial killers have been added to the cast.

One would have to have a heart of cold temperament to find much -- if anything -- wrong with the animated adventure Winnie the Pooh.

Winnie the Pooh will make big people remember their childhoods. And small people will have fun getting to know all of us in the Hundred Acre Wood.

Perfect for kids ten and under - the rest of us will just have to grin and bear it!

A benign, tot-oriented fable sharing a heartwarming message about the true meaning of friendship.

... sweet kiddie entertainment, with charming songs ...

Winnie the Pooh generates smiles and chuckles from start to finish with its good-natured, episodic story of Pooh and friends going on a wild-goose chase to find a supposedly missing Christopher Robin...

Winnie the Pooh doesn't reinvent the wheel, just gives it an affectionate spin, and that is no more and no less than what one would hope from a family reunion.

Occasionally, some clever lines emerge, but the movie mostly fails to charm.

A bright, cuddly blend of watercolor warmth and comfy, cozy nostalgia.

Pre-school kids and sentimental grownups will be suitably enthralled.

A wonderful little sweetheart of a movie.

If you don't mind paying full price for something so brief, you'll be delighted to find a musically driven film the whole family can enjoy.

Whether you know it or not, you're nostalgic for what Pooh has to offer. Also, if your little one hasn't seen a film in the theater yet, this is the perfect starter.

Harmless, but unnecessary; it doesn't improve upon the 1960s shorts, and it's certainly no substitute for reading the original stories aloud with children...

I had no idea how much Winnie the Pooh meant to me until I saw this film.

Not least among the deep and abiding pleasures of the movie is how it shows that... filmmakers are still capable of treating children and childhood with the utmost gravity and dignity.

A sweet ode to the works of A.A. Milne is "Winnie the Pooh," a beautifully animated tale that brings the beloved characters back to the big screen again.

Directors Stephen J. Anderson and Don Hall actually seem to have read Milne's tales and have created one of their own that doesn't feel torpid and sanitized.

An absolute delight from start to finish that will have viewers feeling the same kind of warm and friendly glow normally associated with a yummy pot of hunny.

In an era of hyperactive, overly verbal 3-D animated entertainment, I hope there is still room for a film as sweet and gentle as Winnie the Pooh. At the screening I attended it seemed like the young adults in the audience were enjoying it even...

In many ways, it is a good movie for the little one who is ready for his or her first cinematic experience.
