LA Weekly
Chuck Wilson
Amusing, beautifully drawn one-hour film.

75
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.

75
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
The gentle story, told via old-fashioned "flat" animation, is perfect for the very youngest viewers.

75
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Paula Nechak
This nifty little addition to the Winnie the Pooh franchise boasts some nice touches.

75
USA Today
Claudia Puig
A charmingly sweet experience.

75
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.

70
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
It Works.

70
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.

70
Dallas Observer
Jean Oppenheimer
This latest adventure proves to be a suitably sweet addition to Pooh's cinematic canon.

70
The Hollywood Reporter
Michael Rechtshaffen
It's a charming-looking, tenderly told story about friendship and diversity.

70
The New York Times
Anita Gates
Adorable.

70
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Crust
Features some charming songs by Carly Simon and is warmly animated so as to evoke nostalgia in parents.

70
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.

67
Austin Chronicle
Marrit Ingman
A perfectly marvelous matinee option for young children.

63
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.

63
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.

63
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.

60
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.

60
TV Guide
Angel Cohn
It's the perfect "smackeral" of adventure for youngsters craving Pooh Bear and his pals.

58
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.

50
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.

50
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
Will have anyone over the age of eight squirming in their seats.

50
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.
