Quotes:

[first lines]
Narrator: This could be the room of any small boy, but it just happens to belong to a boy named Christopher Robin. Like most small boys, Christopher Robin has toy animals to play with, and they all live together in a wonderful world of make-believe. But his best friend is a bear called Winnie the Pooh, or Pooh, for short. Now, Pooh had some very unusual adventures, and they all happened right here in the Hundred-Acre Wood.

My favorite animated kid film

In my childhood, I loved this movie. Today, it is still likeable. So are the classic Disney characters including Tigger, the bouncing, hyperactive tiger that is the only one; eyore, the sad and depressed donkey (my favorite, he is the most real character); Rabbit, the annoying rabbit who has a garden and entrance always ruined (also a real character) and of course Winnie the pooh. Pooh bear is one of the only characters that kids will like, but I also like him. Very cute stories (originally 3 and the 2nd won a Oscar for best short) and a good film make this something to watch for kids (and maybe parents too). A++
