Milne stories published way back in the 1920s will be acquainted with the adventures of the silly old bear this time around. The plot pulls from several stories: Eeyore (drearily voiced by Bud Luckey) loses his tail and the entire population of the Hundred Acre Wood joins together to find it for the gloomy, doomy donkey. There is also the mystery of the mysterious creature called the Backson (not to be confused with a Heffalump) who, according to the all-knowing\/know-nothing Owl (voiced by Craig Ferguson), is a terrible creature that does terrible things such as waking up babies and putting holes in socks. And all the while, Winnie the Pooh-Bear (voiced by Jim Cummings) battles his grumbling tummy as he searches for one more pot of honey.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/w4111.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1255\" title=\"w4\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/w4111.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAt 68 minutes, the kid\u2019s flick is the perfect length for the little ones who will get the most from the new adventures of the huggable bear. Following the gorgeous \u201cThe Princess and the Frog,\u201d this is the second hand-drawn animation project from the re-launched Disney Animation Studios and, compared to that film, it feels slight. But there is a comfort in seeing \u201cold style\u201d cell animation on the big screen and this film will do wonders in introducing Pooh and his pals to the next generation of wee ones.<\/p>\n<p>The film features a handful of memorable songs its short running time and is a full-blown musical. The lovely Zooey Deschanel delivers a whimsical original song called \u201cSo Long\u201d along with numerous numbers from Broadway veteran Robert Lopez who, bizarrely enough, just won a Tony for his work along side Trey Parker and Matt Stone for the irreverent \u201cBook of Mormon\u201d.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/w1111.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1256\" title=\"w1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/w1111.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"216\" height=\"233\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Funny thing: Even though the entire plot is culled from Mr. Milne\u2019s masterworks, there are a colossal NINE other people credited with \u201cstory\u201d on the film.<br \/>\nFictitious excerpt from a \u201cWinnie the Pooh\u201d writers meeting:<br \/>\nWriter 1: Pooh wakes up hungry.<br \/>\nWriter 2: And wants honey.<br \/>\nWriter 3: So he goes and tries\u2026.<br \/>\nWriter 4: to find some.<br \/>\nWriter 5: Along they way he meets\u2026<br \/>\nWriter 6: Eeyore!<br \/>\nWriter 7: Piglet!<br \/>\nWriter 8: Tigger!<br \/>\nWriter 9: And he wants some honey.<br \/>\nNow that is easy money.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winnie the Pooh Pure and simple as a giant pot of gooey huny, the new \u201cWinnie the Pooh\u201d movie delivers the lovable magic we expect from the beloved characters.
