Pooh's Heffalump Movie : 3 of 5

A while back I decided to pick up a few Disney DVDs that were missing from my collection, including several of the Winnie the Pooh stories. There's something about the way Disney creates a Pooh movie that's "just right" - no matter what your devotion is to the original AA Milne stories, these fantastic characters are always heartwarming to me (and seem to have direct control of my tear ducts). I really enjoyed Pooh's Heffalump Movie in the theater, so I got this DVD, but waited until recently to watch it (since the movie was too fresh on my mind). I had a great time seeing it again - it was fun to notice little characterizations in Lumpy the Heffalump (I love his hiccups), and to appreciate the plight of Eeyore as a pack mule. As always, I'm in love with Kanga, the representation of perfect, comforting motherhood, and her voice is always so soothing and wonderful. I wish they had let her sing the entire Little Mr. Roo song, but Carly Simon does another good job as the new "official" songwriter for the Pooh movies. Typically, there's a really short and simple behind the scenes segment, but at least it's interesting to get to meet the folks who came up with the story. I think I could watch a Pooh movie any day of the week!
