    The first story to revolve around Piglet entertains kids, may bore adults

    Sexual Content (Not an Issue): None. Violence (Not an Issue): Comic and mildly suspenseful peril, no one hurt. Language (Not an Issue): None. Social Behavior (Not an Issue): While Piglet's friends are initially rude to him (they don't let him join in on activities and never thank him for helping them), they ultimately come to appreciate him in the end. The film's overall message is seeing people beyond their differences. Commercialism (Not an Issue): Part of the huge Winnie the Pooh marketing empire. Drug/Alcohol/Tobacco (Not an Issue): None.

    fine but dares to teach motherhood in teh wrong way

    Very fine, exciting, absolutely a visual and musical show. That is why one can easily overlook the lyrics. Especially the song Kanga sings while "nurturing" Piglet is very offensive. It contains parts which tell that mothers are not tricked by anything, that they are always aware of what their children are doing. This somehow confirms a paranoiac tension between mothers and their kids. Moreover, the whole song is about a mother's "instincts" which almost wholly include "housework".

    Great First Movie

    This is one of the best movies we've found to introduce VERY small children to the screen. No fighting, no bickering, no harassing, no violence, no commercialism, no sex. The characters show character. Nic music. My kids love it (and we love to show it to them).

    Young kids love this movie that could bore an adult to death.

    My 4-year-old loved this movie. It has some scary parts, especially where some characters seem to fall into a raging river, but he loves that kind of thing. I didn't get the impression that the movie's theme, that of appreciating our friends for all they are and do, sunk in for him, however. He really just liked the adventures. Adults will not find the situations very suspenseful (at least my husband was asleep). Either Carly Simon really likes Piglet or she was giving him a very tongue-in-cheek homage, I'm not sure which. (I guess that's the most interesting part for me, an adult.)
