2.0 out of 5 stars Makes a better audio recording than a video., April 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Winnie the Pooh - BBC Edition [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Unfortunately, this video was not at all what I expected. I bought it used not really thinking much except that I was curious about it's "original Pooh" drawing on the front. My husband said that this video would make a better listening tape than a video & I would have to agree. Maybe it's my generation now that is impatient & bored with watching a grown British man recite a book or maybe it's just the video? ... The video would be more captivating if Storyteller Willy was not shown much at all & the drawings were more a part of the storyline.

1.0 out of 5 stars Why is this man shouting the story at the camera?, May 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Winnie the Pooh - BBC Edition [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I do not recommend...much better to buy the book and read it to your kids than to watch a man sitting in a field loudly reciting the story as the camera occasionally zooms in on line drawings. I didn't want the Disney version, but this BBC edition is unbelievably dull.

2.0 out of 5 stars A Disappointment, November 27, 2000

This review is from: Winnie the Pooh - BBC Edition [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I bought this video for my son, hoping that it would be an alternative to the Disney version--something truer to the A.A. Milne classic. It was very true to the original--it's just a man on camera reading the stories. While this would work quite well as an audio tape, it doesn't work at all as a video--there's just nothing to look at! The storyteller gives an animated reading, but it's not enough to save the video. I couldn't help but think it might have been a splendid tape if they'd just done it as a voice over while showing illustrations. Rabbit Ears Videos uses this technique. In fact, I wish Rabbit Ears would do a version of Winne The Pooh. Oh well, . . . .
