80Amusing, beautifully drawn one-hour film.
-
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.
-
75The gentle story, told via old-fashioned "flat" animation, is perfect for the very youngest viewers.
-
75A charmingly sweet experience.
-
75A fine afternoon at the megaplex. And it will make a welcome addition your home library when it's released on video.
-
75This nifty little addition to the Winnie the Pooh franchise boasts some nice touches.
-
70It's a charming-looking, tenderly told story about friendship and diversity.
-
70This latest adventure proves to be a suitably sweet addition to Pooh's cinematic canon.
-
70Features some charming songs by Carly Simon and is warmly animated so as to evoke nostalgia in parents.
-
Adorable.
-
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.
-
70It Works.
-
70Director Frank Nissen strikes a nice balance between slapstick and sentiment, and I'll admit to getting a bit choked up at the appropriate moments.
-
67A perfectly marvelous matinee option for young children.
-
63Sticking closely to formula, Disney delivers a sweet script and charming storybook backgrounds, with serviceable, if sappy, songs from Carly Simon.
-
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.
-
63Delivered without irony or subtext but lots of gentle humour, a kind of family fare that is rare on the big screen these days.
-
60It's the perfect "smackeral" of adventure for youngsters craving Pooh Bear and his pals.
-
60It'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.
-
58Pooh'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.
-
Will have anyone over the age of eight squirming in their seats.
-
50Still, 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.
-
50So 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.

Every Pooh movie is just the same thing; the same morale is thrown in, but always with different characters. I'm startin to get boring here....

BexS10I thought it was hilarious. Although, the heffalump's voice was a bit annoying, Eeyore's ramblings were as funny as ever.
