Ditto here, no way I'm gonna get anyone to watch it with me, specially when Harry Potter is out on the same weekend. It's a real shame, the movie looks so cute.

You can listen to the full songs here!
Don't worry, the songs are in English, even though the website is in French.

Thanks!

The only song I like is the cover of the theme. Also, "A Very Important Thing to Do" is cute. But the rest of the songs are subpar. The "Backson" song is like a badly rehashed version of "Heffalumps & Woozles".

I love John Cleese and all, but he just seems so wrong for Winnie the Pooh.

To be fair after all the DTVs the story is slightly rehashed now too, Tigger teaching how to be a Tigger was done a bit in The Tigger Movie and finding a note, misreading, and going on an adventure for Christopher Robin was done in The Search for Christopher Robin

Really? He's one of the only new voices I like, his narration in the clips seems perfect, Kanga on the other hand, voiced by Kristen Anderson-Lopez (Who co-wrote the songs) sounds terrible, and is very off putting, though Bud's Eeyore i've come to live with, and Kenny's Sponge Bob-ish Rabbit is still better than Kanga.

You're right.

The minute I heard that a new "Winnie the Pooh" film was greenlit, I expected it to be something rehashed, repetitive, and derivative. It's really an unnecessary installment with nothing new to add to the film series. I believe the only reason this was made was for "brand-rescuing", a way to revitalize the Pooh franchise and give a boost to the line of merchandise which had been declining in sales due to the underwhelming audience response to "My Friends Tigger and Pooh" series and other uninspired Pooh products.

Yeah I'm still not too sure on the voices, the French and German dubs seem closer to what we're used to; they're probably the same voice actors that have been doing the dubs for years over there.

Upcoming books based on the new movie:

Christopher Robin looks human now. So refreshing.

In the original Eeore looked more human. It's in the eyes.

And the animation? Stunning.

Many have blasted Eric Goldberg's Rabbit animation in the "Get Us Out Of Here!" segment for being too loose and undisciplined. Whereas I have to admit I thought the animation was a little over-the-top myself (and before reading any criticisms), it makes me a little sad how quickly some people bash respected animators' work without seeing everything in context (some have suggested that the unconventional animation may be due to Rabbit's increased anxiety, being trapped in the hole and all ...).

On an unrelated note, I can't help but make comparisons between such modest, simple animation as in the upcoming Winnie the Pooh film and the far more elaborate, clockwork precise style of animation synonymous with Richard Williams. In fact, how do you think Richard Williams would handle Pooh? I think he'd have to adopt a humbler, less show-offy approach. Williams has a thing for using incredibly complex character designs and flying cameras. That would never work for Pooh.

It's pretty baffling to see complaints about the animation in this.

I never read anything about how insanely awful the DisneyToon Pooh movies were animated. Yes all of them are poorly done.

I know! I'm even going to Florida for a week-long Harry Potter event so I wont have time to see WTP that weekend but even so, Pooh among all Disney properties has a kiddie rep.

This has to be THE CUTEST THING EVER!

Also, nice breaking the 4th wall.

I haven't watched the movie since I was a kid, my memory of it is fuzzy at best.

I just love Pooh dissing the paragraph, "Well then, I don't find it very useful".

While Winnie the Pooh has never been one of my favorite Disney properties, I think this new movie has the potential to be very good. The clips are very cute and I just have a good feeling about it.

Besides, it's the only major 2D film being released this year in the U.S. Gotta support the art-form.

That's actually what I loved about it. How many movies can you mention that have characters being saved by tilting the book sideways?
