The new "Winnie the Pooh" from Disney would be wonderful for kids in the early years of reading, but just fine for younger and older, too. There are layers of meaning and life lessons for all. And at just over an hour, it won't tax many attention spans. Hand drawn in the old style, and interspersed with forays onto the written page by various characters, this story of a day with a Very Important Thing To Do brings all of the beloved characters - Tigger, Rabbit, Piglet, Kanga, Roo, Owl, and poor Eeyore, who has lost his tail - into play with all of their characteristic foibles. It's also chocked full of new songs that will make this version a daily favorite for some young fans come DVD release, I'm sure. Voices are spot on, and the narration by John Cleese is superb.
