Somehow I had made it this long as a theatre person without ever seeing the end of the movie.
It’s…. a substantial step down from the stage show’s ending

Piglet's Big Movie 2003
It definitely has its moments, but this is definitely the weakest of the Pooh movies I’ve re-watched so far.

Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin 1997
My favorite Pooh film growing up and it still holds up. Like the original, it is way funnier than it has any right to be.
It’s clear that the filmmakers put a lot of care into making this movie and had a ton of fun doing it.

The Tigger Movie 2000
This is the first movie I ever saw in theaters and it is very meaningful for me. These turn of the century Disney Toon movies just exude the warmth of childhood and better days for me.
I’m not sure if this was just the Disney+ version, but whoever did the sound mixing had the score super loud compared to the dialogue and it was hard to unhear it once I noticed it.

Turning Red 2022
This is a perfectly fine movie and I’m glad that more people are feeling represented by this movie and the others that characterize the shift shift Disney and Pixar have been on, but Pixar movies are really departing from the types of stories they used to tell and the ones that drew me to them.
This is a very privileged position I hold and I acknowledge that, but this one in particular really didn’t do a whole lot for me. It was fun and “new” but Pixar movies are like comfort food for me.

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh 1977
This movie is way funnier and more charming than I remember. Though obviously a film for children, it never devolves to talking down to anyone. I’m not sure how it connects with modern children because it is paced much slower than modern animation (which is a very good thing in my opinion) but it’s an absolute delight

Bedknobs and Broomsticks 1971
David Tomlinson saying “That was naughty!” in a thick English accent after being insulted is something I treasure
