He's been talking about how he wants to be an elephant all day now. for the youngest children, some parts can be a bit scary but I just talked my son through it.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that this movie has some mild peril that the most sensitive young viewers may find unsettling.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how we can make sure we do not let fear of anything that is different prevent us from meeting new friends. And they can talk about how children are sometimes impatient to be allowed to do things that adults tell them they are not old enough to do and what "your own call" means. Parents will want to make sure that children understand, however, that they should not talk to strangers and that they should never let anyone persuade them that they do not have to answer when their mother calls them. They might also want to talk about how Roo and Lumpy will have to clean up the mess that they made in Pooh's house and Rabbit's garden.

Okay
My daughter, 2, really enjoyed this movie. Overall, I think it's sweet, I like the characters, and the overall moral tone isn't too heavy handed. On the other hand, I'm not thrilled with the continual lassoing of characters in the movie. Since my daughter saw this, she's been "capturing" things and people with any kind of rope, string, or yarn she can find, looping it right around the neck of her target, like she saw in the movie. Gee, thanks, Disney.

My 4 year old loved this in the theater and my 2 year old loves it on video- they would watch it all day long if they could! Great feel-good kids movie- that adults won't mind watching either! Great music, great moral to the story- all around fabulous movie!

Too frightening!
I took my 4-year-old daughter to this movie (her first movie) thinking a Pooh movie would be appropriate. But the Heffalump and his mother are separated from each other (similar to the way Dumbo and his mother are separated in that movie) and cannot get back together. My daugher was horrified, and cried and cried. She said, "This is the saddest movie I have ever seen. I want to go home NOW!" Even after she saw the entire movie and the reconciliation between mother and child, she was hardly mollified. She still thinks it is the "worst movie" she has ever seen, and never wants to see another movie like it.

PHFFFFT!!!
My kids LOVE this movie. My 4 year old finds Lumpy absolutely fascinating, and my 2 year old is trying hard to find her "call." It has some great messages about friendship and prejudice, and the kids will want to watch over and over.
