Pooh's Heffalump Movie description Pooh's Heffalump Movie introduces a lovable new character to the Hundred Acre Wood. When mysterious noises spook Pooh, Piglet, and the others, Rabbit explains that everyone will have to band together to track down the dreaded Heffalump. Well, everyone, that is, except Roo, who's too small for the task. Not surprisingly, it's Roo who makes first contact, and he quickly finds out that first impressions aren't always true. You can see the Big Messages coming from a mile off (Xenophobia is bad! Don't underestimate little kids!), and one moment of mischief curiously passes without even requiring an apology. But kids will be charmed by the Heffalump and may even connect with the empowerment/maturity themes. Among the voice cast, Jim Cummings does knockout impressions of Sterling Holloway and Paul Winchell as the voices of Pooh and Tigger, respectively, and Carly Simon's songs are at their best when she sings them herself. --David Horiuchi |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | My daughter says 5 stars |
| The strongest friendships can spring up in unexpected ways and this story of Roo and Lumpy is a lovely one for showing that to young children. The heart of the movie is about their friendship and how each one grows from that experience. My 4 year old daughter has been enjoying this movie for a year. And I enjoyed the chance to share and talk about it with her.
My daughter really relates to it and gets into the story. I'm thankful she has a movie that seems to be aimed at her age group. She especially enjoys singing along during the main song, "Shoulder to Shoulder". And she likes to sing the lullaby "Little Mister Roo" too. I remember Carly Simon's work in the 70's but I am very grateful to her for her work on this and Piglet's BIG Movie. This film is not perfect though. People who are really into Milne's original work will likely be disappointed. But the adult viewer is not the main targeted audience. Some reviewers writing about "mixed messages" have very valid points, but some of the points are off target. For example, Lumpy doesn't go to his mom when she first calls, but we do see him pay a severe price for that in the sad emotions he feels while he looks for her. My daughter shed a few tears when Lumpy missed his "mummy". Obviously I talk about these scenes with my daughter. She understands the scenes yet it isn't traumatic for her and this plot device holds her attention. My daughter knows that these are animated, pretend characters on the screen and while she can relate to the fun the friends have together, this movie does not supply her with an inspiring role model. Perhaps that is just her personality or perhaps some reviewers are a little overboard on that point. I found the extra features only moderately interesting and my daughter only likes to look occasionally at the game. The exuberance far outshines the sad parts of the movie. And even with all its Hollywood formulas and imperfections, I look at the delight on my daughter's face and have to give it 5 stars. |
