The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
1977
“Why did Piglet go to the bathroom? He wanted to see Pooh!” Hehehe, a very crappy joke I know. But I (unfortunately) think of it every time I watch this lovely movie.
In my world, this movie is dearly beloved. This is mainly due to all the character. Rarely do I watch a film that I adore every single character, but this is one of those exceptions. Probably due more to the actual author who created them, A. A Milne, the movie still deserves credit to bringing each of these various animals to life.
All of the various characters in this story are so vibrant and different, it’s wonderful. Because the animals are what make this movie, I’m going to do something different. I’m not going to talk about the plot; I’m going to talk about all sweet characters, ‘cause I can. So there. One weird thing is that all these animals seem to have some serious psychological problems, but I’ll discuss that as they come.
I might as well cover Pooh first. He is kind of the main character. He’s a bear! A really tubby one. He’s short, fat, and proud of that! For real, he actually says that. His stomach problem is due to his obsession with honey. Or hunny, as he spells it. He’s really not too bright, but what do you expect from someone whose brain is made of stuffing? Despite the fact he is a stupid fatty, he’s quite endearing. He gets stuck in doorways, trees, and practically everything else. But he’s adorable, and you can’t help but love him. He does seem to have an over eating problem though. He needs to work on that.
What sound does a donkey make? Eeyore! Yes, it did take me quite a while to figure out that name. Shut up, I bet it took you forever too! Anyway, Eeyore is the most depressing cartoon ever created, which why he’s so cool. When you watch him and hear him talk, you just want to jump inside the screen and give him a big hug. He’s so sweet too. He went searching for a new house for one of his friends in the middle of a flood. That’s dedication. I can’t help but smile whenever he says “Thanks for noticing me.” He’s the so sad, yet so fantastic.
Kanga and Roo, two kangaroos, (the names for these creatures are so creative) are the most meh characters the whole film. They’re the nice mom and son, who don’t really do much. So I won’t write much.
Gopher is a gopher. Weird right? When he shows up, it’s not for very long, but when he is onscreen, he’s either falling down a whole or trying to blow something up with dynamite, so I guess you can guess he’s fabulous.
There are a lot more animals to talk about than I thought. Originally I thought this would be the easiest way to write about Winnie the Pooh, but I’m not so sure anymore. Oh well I must continue! And I’ll do that with Rabbit! This small mammal is driven to madness every time someone messes up his house or garden. He is must have everything perfect at all times of his life, or his brain might just explode. I also wish I could jump into the movie so I could go make his house dirty, but that could be mean. It would be funny though! Uptight and bossy, his antics are still hilarious to watch, especially when others ruin his stuff.
“What kind of animal is Piglet?” “… A pig dummy.” My brother was the sad person who asked that question.
Piglet is a nutcase. He can barely exist without throwing a panic attack. He’s still sweet, even giving up his house when his friend needs it. But that causes him great amounts of stress, you can be sure. Geez all these animals are so messed up. It makes you wonder what the author was trying to teach his audience of small children.
One of the non messed up characters is Owl. Actually, come to think of it, he’s a bit narcissistic, and does love to hear himself talk. Are there any sane people in this movie?
Well of the one person in this movie, Christopher Robin, I’m pretty sure he’s crazy too. He spends all his time talking to stuffed animals, and he thinks they talk back. When he’s older I bet he’ll be off to the funny farm! I wonder if they’d let him bring his precious animals. At least he’d have friends that way!
Last but not least, is TIGGER!!!!!! Or T-I-Double Gah-Err. That spells Tigger! Duh. Everyone knows that. He’s loud, obnoxious, ruins everyone’s stuff, particularly Rabbit’s, and has a habit of bouncing too much. I want him for a best friend. I’d talk to him, and let him run around and bounce all he wants! He’d adore me, and we’d go to the park together. It sounds dandy doesn’t it?
I love this movie. There isn’t any other way to say it. Everyone in it is wonderful, and they way it plays out like a story book come to life is awesome. Despite the fact all the characters are off their rockers, I adore each and every one. Especially Tigger. Can I keep him?
Movie Watching Budd(y)(ies): Since it was my little sister’s birthday, I watched it with her. Yay Kayleigh!
Best Song: “The Wonderful Thing About Tigger.” Duh. Have I mentioned I love Tigger?
Best Part: Every scene Tigger’s in. Have I mentioned I love Tigger?
