Chicago Tribune Monica Eng
The film is more than a lesson about overcoming bigotry and ignorance. It's also just a beautifully animated romp through the world of Pooh as created by A.A. Milne.
Read Full Review >Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt
The gentle story, told via old-fashioned "flat" animation, is perfect for the very youngest viewers.
Read Full Review >Seattle Post-Intelligencer Paula Nechak
This nifty little addition to the Winnie the Pooh franchise boasts some nice touches.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Wesley Morris
A fine afternoon at the megaplex. And it will make a welcome addition your home library when it's released on video.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Hank Sartin
Director Frank Nissen strikes a nice balance between slapstick and sentiment, and I'll admit to getting a bit choked up at the appropriate moments.
Read Full Review >Dallas Observer Jean Oppenheimer
This latest adventure proves to be a suitably sweet addition to Pooh's cinematic canon.
Read Full Review >The Hollywood Reporter Michael Rechtshaffen
It's a charming-looking, tenderly told story about friendship and diversity.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Kevin Crust
Features some charming songs by Carly Simon and is warmly animated so as to evoke nostalgia in parents.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Jen Chaney
There's something refreshing about a traditional animated movie that tells an old-fashioned story without attempting to win over adults with double entendres or pop-culture references.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Marrit Ingman
A perfectly marvelous matinee option for young children.
Read Full Review >New York Post Billy Heller
This Disney film is all pretty simple, with messages about bigotry and ignorance, friendship and growing up. But at least they don't hit you over the head with them.
Read Full Review >The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Jennie Punter
Delivered without irony or subtext but lots of gentle humour, a kind of family fare that is rare on the big screen these days.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
Sticking closely to formula, Disney delivers a sweet script and charming storybook backgrounds, with serviceable, if sappy, songs from Carly Simon.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Nathan Rabin
It's as notable for what it isn't as for what it is, but in a field full of loud, obnoxious fare, its easygoing affability qualifies as a welcome change of pace.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Angel Cohn
It's the perfect "smackeral" of adventure for youngsters craving Pooh Bear and his pals.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Scott Brown
Pooh's Heffalump Movie is a harmless little ''ex-po-tition'' (to use a Pooh-ism). Still, making this your kids' first Pooh experience would be like weaning them on New Coke.
Read Full Review >Variety Joe Leydon
So insubstantial that it practically evaporates on screen, Pooh's Heffalump Movie likely will play best with toddlers and pre-schoolers easily amused by bright colors, merry songs and lovable, huggable toon animals.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Peter Hartlaub
Will have anyone over the age of eight squirming in their seats.
Read Full Review >Baltimore Sun Chris Kaltenbach
Still, it's hard not to long for the Pooh stories of old, those endearingly anarchic little tales that captured the wonder of a child's world without ever once condescending to it.

Bex S gave it a10:
I thought it was hilarious. Although, the heffalump's voice was a bit annoying, Eeyore's ramblings were as funny as ever.
Cansu O. gave it a10:
I loved it and i'm 14.
colin gave it a10:
Its good!!!!!
liz gave it a9:
Nice sweet and family freindly, take your kids to see this movie for a nice movie.
George G. gave it a2:
A very bad movie, compared to "The House at Pooh Corner." Strictly Hollywood. No conception of the gentleness and creativity of the original Pooh books. Take your kids to see "Lemony Snicket" instead.
Jeff L. gave it a7:
Slight but charming entry in Disney's recent series of theatrical Winnie the Pooh features (The Tigger Movie, Piglet's Big Movie.) When the denizens of the Hundred Acre Wood are spooked by mysterious noises, they set out to trap the dreaded Heffalump they suspect is nearby. Left behind is little Roo, who comes to befriend a cute little baby Heffalump named Lumpy. Roo, who often gets short shrift in the Pooh adventures, is the featured character this time out, and helps to serve up a sweet, good-hearted story about friendship and tolerance. The songs are once again by Carly Simon, who previously did the delightful score for Piglet's Big Movie. Note that the running time is a scant 68 minutes, which may seem a bit short for a theatrical film; however, that may just make it a perfect choice for younger children who have a shorter attention span or are not to used to the theatrical moviegoing experience.
Pat C. gave it a4:
I took a 6 year old to this. He liked it, and I got a good nap. Nothing wrong with it, and it runs short, but it's completely lacking in substance. Any kid that can pick out a movie can handle more than this.
