One of the last projects that Walt Disney personally supervised was a feature length adaptation of A.A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh books. After examining what they had, Walt decided that the humor was too slight and the story too small to support a feature length film and the project was turned into a Pooh featurette which garnered laudatory reviews and much audience acclaim. After Walt’s death, two other featurettes were produced (one winning an Academy Award) before all three were combined into a feature length movie in 1977. In the years since, there have been other Pooh-based projects on both film and television, but this new Winnie the Pooh attempts for the first time to create a feature length movie using those original shorts as their inspiration. What emerges is a sweet and pleasant film for tots and a nostalgic reminder of yesteryear for adults but something that seems too delicate and whimsical for audiences of the 21st century who tend to like their entertainments faster, louder, and more intense. Winnie the Pooh for all its gentle charms seems a few decades too late for the masses.
