What Parents Need to Know

About The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

Parents need to know that Disney's late-'80s incarnation of the well-known yellow bear was a big hit with kids and families. All of the original characters appear -- Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit, Eeyore, and Owl -- allowing the show to stick to the same themes as the original cartoons, but with new adventures and songs. Lessons are kid-friendly and relevant to the age group.

    Love This Show

    This half hour show may not be faithful to the classic, but it is very enjoyable. Somebody always learns a lesson, friendships are always important, and these guys seem to get into more trouble than any group of toddlers. Start watching around three or four, but can be enjoyed for years.
