A Sad, Sad Story, August 8, 2010
This review is from: Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin (Disney Presents) (VHS Tape)
You're braver than you believe.
Stronger than you seem.
And smarter than you think.
The above words are the key to this story. You'll find more about these words later on in this review.

Yes, the video is pretty nice, but it is too sad and scary for little kids. The part when Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore, and Rabbit think that Pooh is eaten by a skullosaurus is the saddest part of every movie I have ever watched. This is NOT a good movie for any kid. Even my 11-year old kid got emotional watching it. But the 10 minutes after the beginning of the movie is pretty funny. (The part where Rabbit slips on a pile of nuts and falls down, and more!)

This is what Disney said...
"From the heart of the Hundred Acre Wood, a all-new movie is born. Inspired by the classic A. A. Milne stories, Pooh's Grand Adventure-The Search for Christopher Robin is the first feature-length movie in twenty years. Starring the world's most beloved characters, this enchantment-filled adventure continues where the original story left off."
After reading this, I can conclude that the original story is "The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh, which is a FUN, not sad video. Yes, this video does continue where the original story left off, which is under a big tree.

The plot:
(The Following Portion of this Review is written by Disney)
"Once upon the last day of a golden summer, the last thing Christopher Robin wants to tell Pooh he is going to school. Instead, he leaves a note that Pooh and friends misunderstand. Believing Christopher Robin has gone to "skull," Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore, and Rabbit set off the rescue him. And so begins the grandest, most extraordinary journey of their lives - the discovery that even when apart, friends are as close as your heart."
I don't know about you, but when I read the plot Disney wrote, I got goosebumps. It is really well-written.

This is the last part of what Disney wrote about the video.
"Five delightful new songs enrich themes of friendship and overcoming fears in this charming and endearing story. Pooh's Grand Adventure-The Search for Christopher Robin is a JOYOUS exprience Pooh lovers of all ages will want to watch again and again."
Joyous? I don't think so. More like sad.

You probably read the words at the top of this review and are wondering what those words are about. It's what Christopher Robin tells Pooh at the beginning to always remember, even if they aren't together. First, Pooh forgets these words. At the end, Pooh says something like this..."Piglet was braver than he believed. Tigger was stronger than he seemed. And Rabbit was smarter than he thought." That's when Pooh realizes friends are as close as your heart.

Overall, this is a pretty nice movie. But I would suggest "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh." I think it's around two hours long, almost twice the length of this. (This is 70 minutes long.) "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" is a JOYOUS experience, unlike this one.
