New movie release “Winnie the Pooh” is a Disney refurbishment of a fifty year old cash cow. The animated upcoming movie features the voices of Craig Ferguson, Jim Cummings, Tom Kenny, John Cleese, and the singing of Zooey Deschanel. It’s a sweet, loving, new look at A.A. Milne’s characters. The new movie is 69 minutes long but that includes ten minutes of credits and a six minute intro about the Loch Ness Monster entitled “The Ballad of Nessie.”
In movie news now, “Winnie the Pooh” will undoubtedly draw in quite a few pre-schoolers and their parents during matinees and will then do well on home video and TV. “Winnie the Pooh” is opening in France April 13, in the United Kingdom and Germany on April 14, and in seven other places before the launch in the U.S. on July 15.
Directors Stephen Anderson and Don Hall have kept the simple, soft, pastel illustrations of the British countryside that were the original E.H. Shepard works. They’re offering beautiful backdrops for the characters’ gentle antics.
Milne’s creations tend to play a little bit like stuffed animals and Pooh’s search for ...
... honey and Eeyore’s unhappiness over the loss of his tail are only interesting for so long. They’re most appealing to people who are still attached to their teddy bears and other nap companions.
The music is also a bit of a throwback. Zooey Deschanel redoes the songs of the Sherman Brothers but adds some new tunes as well. Kids are going to like this movie but parents will be glad that it’ll be over in 69 minutes.
