If Mickey Mouse is the face of Disney, then Winnie-the-Pooh is its soul. No other character so perfectly captures a child's innocence, purity of heart, and sense of wonder. With this direct-to-video film, in contrast to the previous theatrical ones, Pooh and the gang get the full-length treatment (the 1977 film was an anthology film composed of previously released shorts) as they go on a quest to find and rescue Christopher Robin. The strength lies in the various characters and their interactions rather than the thin plot or the cutesy (but mid) songs. So even though it runs a little long, I still liked the message it conveys about self-confidence.
