		The gang from the Hundred Acre Wood spends the day trying to save Christopher Robin, who they mistakenly believe has been captured by a mysterious creature called a "backson." Simple, warm, funny, and clever, this is the standard to which all children's movies should be held. There's a reason these characters have lasted for generations, and this new story does them justice by staying true to the old-school formula that proves you don't need fancy special effects or crude humor to entertain young audiences. Pooh may be a bear "of little brain" but, thankfully, the filmmakers are not!


	Although babies won't be able to read any of the words on the onscreen book pages, and will miss many of the jokes, they're still likely to be drawn in by these lovable characters and the quiet, hand-drawn animation. With a running time of just over an hour, the movie is short and sweet, and perfect for very young audiences.

Preschoolers will find Pooh's obsession with food hilarious, and will giggle wildly over his rumbly tummy. They'll also crack up when Owl says the word "issue" and everyone keeps saying "bless you" because they think he's sneezing! The constant misunderstandings will be very dramatic for 3- to 5-year-olds, who will get caught up in each one, and they'll get a kick out of all the different tails the characters try out to replace Eeyore's missing one.


	Although older kids have outgrown Winnie the Pooh, they probably still have a soft spot for these beloved characters, and the story is smart enough to keep them watching and laughing. Kids in this age group will relate to Pooh when he says, "Long words bother me," and will be proud to recognize--and find the humor in--the signature misspellings!


	This movie is intended for younger children.
