Adapting three more A. A. Milne stories to make Piglet
(Fielder) the hero of them, the characters in the Hundred Acre Wood search for
Piglet. In the meantime, they reminisce about all the things Piglet has done. They
remember when Kanga (Soucie) moved into the area, an expedition to the North
Pole, and the building of the House at Pooh Corner.
This might actually be a good example of a frame story done
well. It’s got entirely original sequences with a frame that actually makes a
bit of sense.
All the individual stories fit well and are fun to watch.
They also contain some amount of character development. At least the first one
does. Rabbit reacts to Kanga and Roo moving in as you would expect a white neighborhood
to react to a black family moving in during the mid-50s. But it’s after Rabbit
spends time with Roo that he takes everything back.
The music is also good, especially with the original works
sung by Simon, the only problem is at the very end. When she gets a music video
during the first part of the end credits. It takes you out of the film and doesn’t
really serve any purpose other than to fill time or look cool. It does, it just
seems unnecessary.
