We love this movie. It's the best of the Pooh movies, imo
This is one of my daughter's favorites. The amount of 'drama' in it is just right for her: a little rudeness, a little mis.understanding, some people get mad, some people get sad. None of it is a big deal. The only part that could be a little much is when toward the end Pooh and Piglet fall down a waterfall and it is implied that they have not survived. We got past that really easily by saying, "They're scared that Pooh and Piglet are lost forever." Since Pooh and Piglet reappear roughly 3 seconds later, she is not upset by this.
On a different note, I think this movie was really well-constructed for its genre. I like Carly Simon's goofy sentimental songs and Piglet is so darned cute.

Perfect movie for toddlers & preschoolers
My 3 year old loves this movie. It is obviously made for the very young, and could I imagine be fairly boring for older kids, but it suits us down to the ground. My daughter is quite a timid little thing, and the only part of this film that she found a bit frightening was when the bees get angry at Rabbit (for butchering Mozart on the violin), and proceed to swarm and chase the friends. This occurs early in the movie, and doesn't last too long. The music in the film is lovely, and the messages good (the importance of appreciating friends and not taking them for granted; and the idea that small people can accomplish big things).

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.

Once again, the Pooh fanboy in me tells me I can't dislike this
And this time it was difficult. I liked the idea and the message behind the whole thing, but first of all, a lot of the old wit wasn't quite there and there were moments where the characters came across as jerks, most notably in the first scene where Piglet is the whole reason the honey-snatching plan works and he gets NO credit whatsoever.

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.)

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).
