3 and a half stars. Ok the good stuff: This has nothing really scary at all in it, so its pretty good for very young kids. Its also Pooh, so its just plain fun to watch. Tigger is hilarious! The few things I was disappointed with were the length, around 60 minutes for both programs(5 shorts in total), and the box said 70, and it should have had "Boo to You Too" to make it even more 'halloweenish'.
My favorite was "Frankenpooh", but it was only 5 minutes long! "Things that go Piglet in the Night" is about piglet being mistaken for a ghost, its very funny. In "Pooh Moon", the gang mistakes eachother for monsters (the GrabMe Gotchas!), also pretty funny. "Knight to Remember" had piglet imagining he is a knight and has to be brave and slay a dragon, its a cute story that kids will really enjoy! and "Rock a Bye Pooh" Piglet has a nightmare (not very scary) so won't fall asleep, its really sweet because Pooh, Rabbit and Tigger are really good friends and try to help Piglet get over his nightmare. Also the bonus features (a game and a fun sing along song) aren't really to do with this DVD, but with "Boo To You Too", which I think should have been included on the DVD to make it a complete Halloween collection.

When this DVD was first watched, the adults in our household thought that these Winnie the Pooh stories did a very good job introducing ghosts to the 23 1/2 month old in the house. However, in recent days we have decided to hide this movie because it has caused the 23 1/2 month old to worry about ghosts now, even though we told her and she agrees with us verbally that ghosts are not real. This little girl is an avid movie watcher and has an amazing concentration level when it comes to watching them. Unfortunately she has internalized this one and now will not go to bed in her room at night alone. And she has never had a problem going to bed before. Parents beware of this DVD, just because it is Pooh does not mean it is totally harmless to impressionable little minds.

My son loves this tape - he watches it over and over. These older Winnie the Pooh stories are great. They don't have the intensity of the newer movies - which is just right for young children.

this movie has two episodes from the new adventures of winnie the pooh and they are excellent. i just watched it and it brought back childhood memories. they don't make tv shows like this anymore. i hope disney will put the series out on dvd. if you have not seen this movie then i recommend you do

Spooky themed animated shorts from "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" my 3 year old watched so many times she knew the titles to all the shorts!

After I had watched the movie for the first time with our 2,5 year old son, I tried to hide it. It actually is quite "spookable", and I was afraid he would not be able to sleep. I bought him a replacement- a nice story with lots of songs and fun- but he insisted on getting spookable winnie back. Ever since, it has been his absolute favorite. And, by the way, he sleeps fine. I am sure he would give it a five. I continue to think there are other Winnie the Pooh stories around with more depth and beauty- the ranking is a compromise between a child's and a parent's perspective.

Frankenpooh and Spookable Pooh are both collections of short stories or videos. These are typical Winnie-the -Pooh videos. The story is fun and silly. All the characters are included in the stories. These are both a great video to watch during the Halloween season with children or if your a lover of Winnie-the-Pooh on your own. But, these stories are best when shared with a loved one. The DVD opens with a child friendly menu with verbal directions, so once it is in the player, it's easy to choose if you want one or the other or both stories. Even though the stories have a Halloween theme, the stories may reassure younger child about Halloween. Like all Winnie-the-Pooh stories, there is a life lesson and a happy ending to the rouble the characters get in the tale.

I read a few reviews about some young children being frightened by this DVD,so I would definitely say that the parents should gauge whether their child would be spooked or not. In our instance, there was much more humor than anything "spooky," and the whole family actually enjoyed it.

It's packed with all the Winnie the Pooh characters, yet all of them bring their own humor,silliness and playfulness, which is to be expected of Pooh and his friends. We've seen this about a dozen times, and would definitely recommend it for the younger age group. My oldest daughter is now 10 and doesn't seem to enjoy it as much anymore, but the younger kids love it.

amazing there are several stories on this video. The Monster Frankenpooh has Tiger turning Pooh monster. Things That Go Piglet in the Night is like ghost busters but funnier and better Pooh Moon is the search for a lost pooh and piglet these are really amazing and great!.

I would give it 2 stars, so we met in the middle. My 35 month old loves this movie, but it drives me crazy. She wants to watch it all the time. I wouldn't mind if it was like the real Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, but it is just a bunch of silly stories. I wish they had come up with some new Pooh storied for this DVD, but they just put 5 older ones . There also needs to be more bonus features. Oh well! Maybe next year
