Thanks foor the goodies Sotrist!

I laughed sooo hard in them! MY COMMENTS:

Pooh's note-Owl's face on GOOEY is hiliarious!

Same the way of how Pooh said, "It's my favorite!"

Love Pooh's animation in his eyes BTW!

TIGGER-Pooh's random smile at the end is too cute! Jim is amazing!

Are you sure...?-My favorite! Piglet is ADORABLE!

I love Pooh's reaction to Piglet being stuck. He's like, "Oh dear. I can't do anything about it.

" Hahaha! And most important, Piglet's ANIMATION is the best animation I ever saw in my life! It reminds me of a....

Kacheek from Neopets!

CAST OF CHARACTERS-EPIC!!!!!

Felt a 3 yr old again! This was always on the old WTP cartoons! I felt crying tears of nostlagia!

Fandango has its runtime listed at 69 minutes but RT has it running only 63. With HP only 130 minutes I think a quick double feature will be in order for me next Friday. I was hoping HP would be longer with as much as there is to cover (even though its the second of 2 parts).

I like it, but I wish they had chosen a different font. The watercolor backgrounds are pretty visuals, the voices sound very close to the originals, but the font doesn't mesh and almost makes it look fan-made.

I think the voices are the originals...

Yeah, the voices are definitely from the end of "The Many Adventures..."

Ha, I thought perhaps they had re-recorded the same scene with the new actors.

Only less than a week till this opens here in the states. I can only hope this will be a financial success, for Disney's sake. To prove that hand-drawn animation is in fact profitable.

On the honey! Winnie the Pooh returns in his first movie in 34 years.

Back to the Days of Christopher Robin & Pooh
http://www.animationmagazine.net/featur ... obin-pooh/

A small excerpt:

Anderson and Hall both point out that they would feel less confident in their labor of love if the movie had been a full-on CG-animated project. “We are very comfortable in this medium, regardless of all the other movies that are coming out this summer,” notes Anderson.

“If this were a fully CG-animated and rendered and lit Pooh, it just wouldn’t feel right. We would be doing the characters a real disservice. We feel like rebels because we’re doing what most studios aren’t touching right now.” Hall is surprised by the way the general media tends to equate hand-drawn with old-fashioned. “We just laugh at that notion,” he stresses. “I don’t think kids have a preference. The medium isn’t as important to them as are the story and characters. I certainly hope that we will always have a hand-drawn tradition at Disney, alongside the CG. They don’t have to compete with each other. Hand-drawn never has to be as realistic as CG, so you can take a more artistic path. It can offer artistic alternatives that CG can’t right now.”

How can anyone not cheer Anderson and his team when he says, “In this summer of huge 3-D epics and sequels, it’s kind of exciting to do a little 2D movie about a stuffed bear—we say, let’s bring it on!”

This is the first OFFICIAL sequel in 34 years, but NY Post forgot about "The Tigger Movie," "Piglet's Big Movie," and "Pooh's Heffalump Movie."

Honestly, I know I sound like some stupid broken record, but I am constantly hoping that this movie does well enough to recoup its budget, maybe even hopefully earn about a hundred million.

Probably not that much, but it should earn something.

I don't think it will makes its full budget back or half of it this first weekend,

I think by the time it leaves theaters.....it could have made 40 to 75 million.....because there are a heavy amount of people who haven't let their children watch it because of dark magic which in my opinion is dumb...however the target audience will be the people who don't like harry potter or toddlers and kids who want to see pooh and their parents take them, although if Disney Marketing would be advertising this more I would say it could very well make 50 million by the time it leaves theater......and really Disney isn't making it clear to the public it isn't just another Piglet's Big Movie or Heffelump Movie....but we all know how well Disney Marketing team is these days

Well, it only cost about $35 million (How many times have I said that?

) , compared to Harry Potter's $200 million+ budgets, and I'm sure toddlers aren't the only target audience for WTP; maybe even big kids (aka adults who never outgrew Pooh).

So Pooh could most likely recoup its budget in no time, even if it is being pitted against the final movie in the saga of a kid wizard we've known since 1998.
