The music, too, represents a throwback, both the new compositions and the retreads of Sherman Brothers tunes here dressed up with new vocals by Zooey Deschanel. Little kids will enjoy it all, while parents, when not checking their cell phones, will be thankful for the thoughtfully brief running time. Opens: July 15 (Disney) Production: Walt Disney Animated Films Voice cast: Jim Cummings, Craig Ferguson, John Cleese, Tom Kenny, Bud Luckey, Jack Boulter, Travis Oates, Kristen Anderson-Lopez Directors: Stephan J. Anderson, Don Hall Story by: Stephen Anderson, Clio Chiang, Don Dougherty, Don Hall, Kendelle Hoyer, Brian Kesinger, Nicole Mitchell, Jeremy Spears Based on the "Winnie the Pooh" works by: A.A. Milne Producers: Peter Del Vecho, Clark SpencerExecutive producer: John Lasseter Art directors: Paul Felix, Patrick M. Sullivan Jr. Editor: Lisa Linder Rated G, 69 minutes Whether or not Disney Animation always intended that the feature proper would come at under an hour, the film will be a first weekend matinee choice for more than a few preschooler families (there’s no weeknight audience for it) before becoming a staple homevid and TV title. The defiantly low-tech offering bows in France on April 13, in the U.K. and Germany the next day and in seven other territories in advance of the July 15 U.S. launch. So definitive are the soft, simple, pastel evocations of the English countryside in E.H. Shepard’s original Pooh illustrations that revisionist versions would be unthinkable. Directors Stephen J. Anderson and Don Hall (director and a writer, respectively, on Meet the Robinsons) do nothing to rock the boat, delivering rich, beautifully rendered visual backdrops for the mild antics of the familiar characters. he story will revolve arourd Pooh himself as it was in the original, there will be a sequence with Eeyore losing his tail and his friends will try to replaceing with something else. and another sequence based on a story from The House at Pooh Corner where Pooh and friends search for a creature called a â€Backsonâ€, which is actually Christopher Robin’s misspelling of the phrase â€Back soonâ€. Walt Disney Animation Studios returns to the Hundred Acre Wood with "Winnie the Pooh." Featuring the timeless charm, wit and whimsy of the original featurettes, this all-new movie reunites audiences with the philosophical "bear of very little brain" and friends Tigger, Rabbit, Piglet, Owl, Kanga, Rooâ€"and last, but certainly not least, Eeyore, who has lost his tail. "Ever have one of those days where you just can't win, Eeyore?" asks Pooh. Owl sends the whole gang on a wild quest to save Christopher Robin from an imaginary culprit. It turns out to be a very busy day for a bear who simply set out to find some honey. Inspired by three stories from A.A. Milne's books in Disney's classic, hand-drawn art style, "Winnie the Pooh" hits theaters in Europe and Latin America in Spring 2011; the U.S. release date is July 15, 2011. AA Milne fans exasperated by recent DVD versions may be calmed by this big-screen reboot of the Winnie the Pooh franchise from Disney. While the animation is similar, the story is more closely based on Milne’s deftly written comedy episodes. And so Pooh begins his adventures by searching for donkey Eeyore’s lost tail, along with his usual elusive dose of â€hunny’ (this guy is some addict). Milne’s words appear on screen and interact with the characters: at one point they use the letters to form a ladder. It’s more literary than recent versions such as 2005’s â€Pooh’s Heffalump Movie’ and brings an old-fashioned charm back to the series. Misunderstandings over words abound: one amusing adventure involves a note Christopher Robin has left for his toys, saying he’ll be â€Back soon’. Under the misguidance of puffed-up pseudo-intellectual Owl, the gang is soon on the hunt for the terrifying Backsun, a creature that has captured Christopher. Watch Winnie the Pooh movie Online Musical numbers are mostly trite, although Zooey Deschanel’s quirky-cutesy voice suits the theme tune well. John Cleese narrates, while many voices return from the Disney TV shows and movies, including Jim Cummings as Pooh. New on the block is a barely recognisable Craig Ferguson as Owl and Bud Luckey (Chuckles in â€Toy Story 3’), who brings his growl to Eeyore. Plot-wise, it’s nothing special: the film is a couple of stories woven into one and can’t hold a candle to the likes of â€Toy Story’. This is a relatively modest film but one that should entertain the very young †along with nostalgic parents and grandparents. To View The Full HD free movies to watch online
