3rd of the 8 in the Dark Era

Warning: Spoilers
This film is a 3-part package film (1 was produced by Ealt Disney before his death) These three shorts were released separately years before the film was released, and then was released together in 1977. This started the Winnie the Pooh franchise.

The three shorts are Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree, Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day, and Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too. These shorts are simple, yet interesting. We are really just enjoying the characters, as the plots are not really strong, but the characters are enjoyable, so it works.

Like I said, the characters are really enjoyable. Everybody knows Winnie, Tigger, Piglet, Owl, Rabbit, Eeyore, Kanga, Roo, and Christopher Robin. They each have their own distinct personalities, and they all work really well together. You care for them, want to know what happens to them, and get really invested in these characters.

The songs have this jazzy yet innocent sound to it. Songs like "Winnie the Pooh", "Heffalumps and Woozles", "Hip Hip Pooh-Ray", and more will be stuck in your head, and are extremely catchy.

The animation in this film is Xerography at its best. The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is supposed to be this innocent and laid-back theme to it, and the animation reflects that. It is beautifully and perfectly sketchy, which fits the time of the movies unlike so many of the movies done with xerography animation. It is actually appealing to the eye.

This package film is pretty good, even though it drags at times, and it captures your interests, but this is a film that is more geared towards little kids, and it is a package film. It is good, but the fact that it is a package film holds t back from being one of the better Disney movies.
