Pooh's Heffalump Movie : 3 of 5
2.11.2005 10:00 PM \| Link	There's just something about Winnie the Pooh movies that makes them so charming they just can't go wrong. As long as the characters stay true to personality and the backgrounds have that wonderful storybook quality, I'm going to enjoy the story. As usual, I saw this Disney film on opening day with my pal Melinda, and even though I had fewer emotional moments than in past Pooh tales, I still really had fun watching it. It was interesting to me that so much of the plot focuses on Roo, since the little guy pretty much had his own story in the last DVD release, Springtime with Roo, but it was really heartwarming to see him finally playing with another character his age - the little Heffalump named Lumpy, one of the first "new" Pooh characters in years. I thought his English accent was completely adorable, and the songs he sang with Roo gave me a big smile (Carly Simon does a good job with most of the music, just as she did in Piglet's Big Movie), but I thought it would have been fun to include a bit of Heffalumps and Woozles - maybe they're saving that for "Pooh's Woozle Movie" in 2006! Christopher Robin doesn't make an appearance until the closing credits, but these scenes are well done, integrating Lumpy into some classic Pooh moments. Hurray for DisneyToon Studios, keeping it real with 2D animation! Labels: disney, movies
