I'm sure you've read my positive review of Piglet's Big Movie when I saw it in the theater (opening day, of course), so I'll try to come up with new things to say now that I own the DVD. Once again, I really enjoyed the story and the songs - I'm definitely not a Carly Simon fan, but her compositions for this movie are great! The big emotional blast really comes on strong at the very end - an excellent job at opening up the tear ducts. I noticed a little detail that was kind of fun: in one scene Pooh and Tigger pretend to see a "fish in a tree" to distract Kanga from one of their plans, and a few minutes later during a zoom, there really is a fish sitting in one of the trees, smiling at the camera! The bonus material is only so-so, unfortunately, with no making-of documentary at all, but I'm glad I have the DVD in my collection anyway.
