This is my all-time favorite DISNEY series. I've been watching the entire set of tapes for WTP since I was about 2 or 3 and I STILL never get tired of it! There are 3 episodes in all, and if you were to put em together, you'd get what they call "The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh". This is but one of the many chapters that were used in that movie but all 3 used to have to be sold seperately back in the day. However, I was one of the lucky ones to get the COMPLETE VHS boxed-set that had all 3 Pooh-Bear episodes including: "Winnie The Pooh And The Honey "(1966), "Winnie The Pooh And The Blustery Day"(1968), "Winnie the Pooh And Tigger Too!"(1974). Yes, it even had the BONUS episode, "Winnie The Pooh And A Day For Eeyore"(1983). Blustery Day itself, is one of my favorites next to Tigger Too and is a very VERY fun movie! When a terrible storm hits the 100 Acre Wood, Piglet is stranded out at sea during a giant flood! Can Pooh save his friend within the nick of time? You'll just have to watch to find out!! I highly reccomend you add this to your Disney collection and get the kids. They'll love it! BTW, don't pay any attention to those NEWER versions of the classical Pooh. In my opinion, it's just not the same. They don't make 'em like they used to. :(

I watched this video with my own children and now have the good fortune to be watching it with my 2 year old grandaughter, who, in this world of high tech, big budget blockbuster cartoon movies was absolutely transfixed when she saw it the first time! She sat in her little red chair and couldn't take her eyes off the screen. Even though the animation isn't as wild and colorful as some of the cartoons out there now, its soft tones and simplicity activate a childs imagination, and you can see that they are absolutely drawn into this timeless tale as the scenes unfold and the pages of the book turn. Winnie the Pooh is ageless, and this is a simply sweet, fun video that has proved it can stand up in a blustery wind to anything out there on the market today!

This is Winnie the Pooh as A.A. Milne would recognize him: Endearing and beautifully meandering stories of imagination, not polluted by an obsession with right-and-wrong and conflict as is so common in children's TV shows and movies.

As much as I respect Disney for saving the whole Pooh works from obscurity, I have to cringe at the mass marketing machine that has followed; and I feel disappointed at the mundane and ordinary quality of the more recent Pooh stories/videos. The faces are the familiar, but the stories just aren't the same. The newer works by Disney seem to be made for the Video Generation, with just too much "action" and noise. Stick to the "originals!" (Blustery Day; Honey Tree; Tigger Too)

This is the best Winnie the Pooh movie. It's timeless. Both my kids watched this movie over and over, and that was 20 years ago! We have watched more recent Winnie the Pooh features and we still prefer this classic.

Topnotch production. Clever lyrics with tunes that make you want to hum along. Very positive behaviors showing concern and caring for one another. There is not a single thing that could make this movie better - it is one of the best! Beloved Pooh is always a hit. Kid's comments: "It is my favorite movie." "It was colored really pretty." "It made me want to do my ABC's and read the pages in the movie book." "It was funny." "I WANT TO KNOW HOW THE SONGS GO." Ages 2-5.

I am 17 years old, and I've loved this video since I was little. It's so hard not to love Winnie the Pooh. It's good for kids because it's just a nice, friendly cartoon with a good lesson at the end. I guess it's good for everyone in that way. Also, any cartoon with "Huffalumps" and "Woozles" is worth buying!

Winnie the Pooh has fascinated children in print for years, but Disney brought Pooh and his friends to life for most of us. This tale is, in my opinion, the best of the animated "Pooh" tales. The animation is good, the voices are great, and the story is fun. It engages viewers of all ages.

I sometimes wonder, though, about Disney's mid-show breaks into abstract animation accompanied by music -- "Elephants and Woozles" in the case of this video.

Join Pooh and his friends for a harrowing series of adventures in this video -- a blustery day, rain and flooding, and threats of thieves who steal honey (or hunny, as Pooh spells it). Pooh and Eyeore, Rabbit, Piglet and the rest make it all happen.

Your children will love this show. My four do.

5 stars.

Out of all the videos that you will find out there, you have to say that this is one of the true classics. This video won an Oscar Award in 1968 for Best Cartoon short subject.

I love this video and it is full of action. This is the kind of video for you if you are someone who likes videos to be full of action. For example, Owl's tree blows down, and Pooh dreams about Heffalumps and Woozles. Behind all of the scary things, like the Heffalumps and Woozles song, the video is kind and it has a message at the end.(If your kids are under 2, Heffalumps and Woozles may be too extreme).

Out of the four classic Winnie the Pooh tales, I believe that this is the most rewarding and deserving because of how it has good voices, animation, color, artwork, and the story is fun. There are a lot of fun songs to get kids to sing along to.

This is a video that I could keep my eyes on for a long time, and it would still be entertaining, because it is fun and there is adventure in every twist and turn.

This is a wonderful kids movie, and it is good for Pooh lovers everywhere and of any age. If you have kids, this video is a must!

My 2 year old son is absolutely hooked onto this video. We got the tape just 2 weeks ago and he probably has seen the video 100 times since then. Its amazing, how he watches the video with great attention. This video is a must buy for parents with kids in the age group 18months above. The whole documentary is so cute. Winnie the pooh and Piglet are super. Also teaches kids how to share things.

WINNIE THE POOH AND THE BLUSTERY DAY IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES. WHEN I WAS SMALL I WATCHED IT ENDLESSLY AND NEVER TIRED OF IT. I'D JUST PLOP MYSELF DOWN ON THE COUCH NEXT TO MY BROTHERS AND ENJOY. THE BASIC STORY IS POOH, WHO OF COURSE LOVES HONEY. WHEN TIGGER BARGES IN AND TELLS HIM ABOUT "HEFFALUMPS"(ELEPHANTS) AND "WOOSELS" (WEASLES)AND THAT THEY ABSOLUTELY LOVE HONEY POOH STAYS UP ALL NIGHT WITH HIS POP-GUN AT HIS SIDE FOR FEAR THAT THEY WOULD COME FOR HIS. WHEN HE FINALLY FALLS ASLEEP HE DREAMS OF "HEFFALUMPS" AND "WOOSELS" THE WHOLE TIME. MEANWHILE PIGLET WHO IS ABSORBED IN HIS DREAMS SUDDENLY AWAKES WITH A FRIGHT. THE 100 ACRE WOODS IS COVERED WITH WATER! FLOOOOD! WHILE EVERYONE ELSE IS HEADING OVER TO CRISTOPHER ROBINS HOUSE (WHICH IS ON A HILL)POOH AND PIGLET ARE STUCK OUT IN THE FLOOD ABOUT TO GO DOWN A "FLUTTERFALL" (PIGLET'S VERSION OF A WATERFALL)WILL OWL SAVE THEM OR WILL HE JUST LET THEM FALL WHILE HE'S TELLING THEM ABOUT HIS "UNCLE JEREMIAH"? YOU'LL HAVE TO WATCH AND SEE.
