Rating: - The Best.
Adapted from Winnie-The-Pooh(1926) and The House At Pooh Corner (1928)by A.A. (alan Alexander) Milne(1882-1956),Illustrated by E.H. (Ernie Howard) Shepard (1879-1976).The main characters are Christopher Robin Milne and Winnie-The-Pooh(the stuffed bear).4 summers ago,when I was 6 1/2 ,I went to Target Drug store -the one in Walnut Creek,CA Usa to be exact-I received Winnie-The-Pooh (1966).It is a great toddler video.But eventhough I am NOT a toddler anymore, I still LOVE it.This wasn't really what you would call a movie.It was just a theatrical short viewed before a movie in theatres to enjoy.Only the 1hour films by Disney are movies. Besides,it's only about 25 minutes.It starred Sterling Halloway(1899-1992)as pooh, Bruce Reitherman(who also did the voice of Mowgli in The Jungle Book)(1956-)as Christopher Robin,Hal Smith(1916-1994)as Owl and Ralph Wright as Eeyore.It also featured John Fiendler (1925-) as Piglet.The 5 songs were "Winnie-The-Pooh","When I up-down,touch the ground","I'm so rumbily in my tumbily","I'm just a little black rain cloud" and "Hooray!".The last of the the theatrical shorts to be produced by Walt Disney(1902-1966).It was the first theatrical short about Pooh Bear.The animation was great!I love the opening piece of music.THe A.A. milne books were good,too!Ever since that "willy nilly silly ole bear"was first brought to life in theatres,He was one of the most best-loved Disney characters in all 7 continents.TTFN

Rating: - A timeless classic
This is a wonderfully charming tape, that is a true classic for kids and parents to share together.

In the story, Pooh tries to get honey to fill his honey pot. He climbs a tree, and eventually gets stuck in the rabbit hole. It features Sterling Holloway (1899-1992) as Pooh, Junius Matthews (1890-1978) as Rabbit. Also features John Fiedler (1925-) as Piglet, and Hal Smith (1916-1994) as Owl.

I recommend this video to everyone who loves classic movies.

Rating: - The classic tales are by far the best for toddlers
We are absolutely thrilled with this collection. My daughter is now two, and she's been watching them since about 18mo. These older stories are much easier for little ones to follow than the current Disney Pooh stories on TV, and, according to my daughter, they're less "scary" as well. My husband and I also prefer the theme songs and the narrator to today's more updated version. My daughter knows all of the lyrics to the theme song now.

Rating: - Best and oldest Pooh Movie
I think that this story is the best Pooh movie because it is the first one released by Disney in 1966. The voices are great, the color is fabulous, the animation is amazing, and the music really helps you get a deeper understanding about what is happening.

This story has a lot of action like when Pooh rolls around in the mud to trick the bees, and when he falls from the tree, and when he is flying through the air with the bees.

I thought a few things about it. In the book by A.A Milne, when they pull him out, he falls on top of them. In the Disney version, he flies into the honey tree.

I thought this is the best Pooh offering because it was the first, and how the first usually has the most magic. I love this story because it is so cute and nice and the friends are trying to help him in many ways, like when they all help pull him out of the hole.

I have had the movie for a long time, and I have always loved the story, because a lot happens, and how the story has a lot to think about. I think it is so cute when he is singing the rain cloud song, and flying over the tree. This movie is full of Magic!

Rating: - The first video I ever "owned!"
This is 100% classic! The storyline is as gentle and un-scary for little kids as it gets and it's also very engaging and entertaining. I remember, even as a little one I loved how the whole thing was played out like it was a book, and I love the sequence at the beginning with the stuffed animals and the scratchy filming! Possibly the best video ever for the very very young!
