The good stuff

  • Messages:

    The characters rely on being inquisitive and piecing together clues to solve mysteries. As a team, they always respect and welcome each other's ideas. Young viewers are encouraged to think and interact along with the characters. Six-year-old heroine Darby (who stands in for traditional Pooh pal Christopher Robin) is adventurous and resourceful.

About My Friends Tigger & Pooh

Parents need to know that this engaging preschool series offers a twist on the classic Winnie the Pooh tales: Christopher Robin has been replaced by a 6-year-old girl named Darby.

    Stick to The Originals

    I agree with what Teen Reviewer said: *sigh* tsk tsk tsk. this show is a discrace. Winnie the poohs supposed to be a bout friendship, and life moral values, not science. kids are supposed to figure out curiosities as they age, not on a television show, 2 and four year olds dont need to know why the sky is blue. they need to know how to make good friendships, and sharing, and and values and such, thats what the original showed. plus, what happend to owl and christopher robin? are they not good enough for the new socity? plus the CGI animation is terrible, and its overdone. Well, first of all, what happened to the fun, innocent characters in The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh? They have taken the characters' traits, and (so I believe) taken them to the extreme. This show has taken all the fun and innocence out of the Hundred Acre Woods and replaced it with learning. How many remember that Christopher Robin didn't want to learn, because it meant growing up and possibly leaving Pooh? And Pooh didn't want CR to go to school, either... How many of you remember the beautiful friendship between Christopher Robin and Winnie the Pooh? All I can say now is: Disney has taken a timeless classic, and, well... Disney-fied it... ! :(

    Mickey Mouse Club House is alright at best, but this is a disgrace...

    Luckily, they didn't make everyone too out-of-character, but that's the ONLY good thing about this show. For one thing, what is the story behind the girl? Really, why do I care? She's an annoying and incredibly useless character. The dog's fine, but that's only because he doesn't talk. What happened to shows being fun? This may not be the lametarded rubbish we get from kid's entertainment these days, but it should have just been an original show and not used iconic figures from our childhood. I guess the concept's alright, but where is Christopher Robin? They fit in every character except him. Why? And like Club House, the characters are WAY too happy to the point where it's creepy. At least that other attempt at making Pooh CGI was more accurate to the original stories... and they still didn't have Christopher Robin in them... oh yeah, and the "think" song... not as annoying as the songs in Club House, but it still gets to me... anyway, this show is a disgrace to the original. Disney, stop ruining your greatest franchises with this garbage.
