What I'm about to say is an interesting theory. Not confirmed. Each character depicts a mental disorder. Winnie is eating disorder Tigger is ADHD Piglet is anxiety Rabbit is OCD Owl is dyslexia Kanga is social anxiety Roo is autistic Eeyore has depression And Christopher Robin has schizophrenia
You know? As a kid, Rabbit annoyed me for being so uptight. But now that I'm an adult, I related to him so much more. This poor bunny gets eaten out of house and home, then gets that entitled guest stuck in his door, and his produce is constantly ruined by Tigger. I know Rabbit can get bossy sometimes, but with this group of friends, I'd be frustrated too.
I honestly love Rabbit in a similar way to Donald Duck, although I love Rabbit a lot more; both are uptight, bossy, have temper tantrums, and get annoyed by their family and friends, but still have a good heart. What's not to love there?
i just started rewatching the new adventures of winnie the pooh on disney+ for the first time in like 20 years and oh my goodness. it's like revisiting an old friend
Some things you should know about Winnie the Pooh: 1. The world is simple and silly. Dont take things too seriously. 2. Everyone except for Christopher Robin, Rabbit, Gopher, and Owl is a stuffed animal. 3. Christopher Robin was a real person. His father came up with the Winnie the Pooh book series based on his kid's adventures with his stuffed animals. (The toys are in a museum now.) 4. The books (and Disney movies) are absolute classics. 5. It doesn't hurt Eeyore when his tail is pulled off or hammered back. No need to worry. 6. Heffalumps and Woozles are incorrect spellings of Elephants and weasels and in the Winnie the Pooh world, they are creatures to be feared. 7. Piglet is a he.
8. The real Christopher Robin grew up to hate Winnie the Pooh because his dad (author and creator of Pooh) exploited his childhood for profit. He was bullied and tormented by people just for being Christopher Robin.
Funnily enough, I used to think Rabbit was a girl when I was younger, yet somehow I knew Piglet was a boy. Also, thanks for reminding me of that _Family Guy_ skit with Pooh and Eeyore - that was pretty funny. Though, for some reason, Pooh sounded exactly he did on that “Too Smart For Strangers” video. *_shudder_*
@@nl396 Yeah, this is why I feel a bit iffy about using my family’s real names for characters based on them in any works of fiction I’m working on. Granted, they’re all grown adults now, so it won’t be *as* big a deal for them as it was for poor Christopher, but I want to make it clear that these characters are their own characters, and any resemblance to the real people on my life is purely inspirational.
9. Winnie-the-Pooh was named after the real Christopher Robin’s pronunciation of Winnipeg, a tame bear that had been donated to the London Zoo. Which CR named his favorite teddy bear after, of course.
This whole entire franchise is one that I think you'd love. It may not have ground-breaking stuff but it is filled with a colorful charm. Winnie the Pooh has a very long and rich history with the Disney company and I'm sure you'd enjoy all of what it would bring (both in films and the show he had). And, while I couldn't help but notice that you didn't like Pooh himself as much as I thought you would, I will say that he does better as the stories go on.
To explain the Piglet thing with his house. Piglet isn’t a brave character and he doesn’t like confrontation. He also cares about his friends, so on one hand, he doesn’t want to give up his house but he doesn’t want confrontation and he wants his friend to have a place to live. You definitely get a more defined vision of their personalities, strengths and weaknesses in the movie I suggested in another comment.
@@ravenm6443 Ah, I thought so. Such a perfect film that not only was adventurous and scary for a winnie the pooh movie, but one that greatly explored everyone's characterstics and pushed the characters out of their comfort zone. :) One of my fav movies from this frandise.
@@kitty3999 I agree. It’s why I recommended it. And not only do you get to see more of their personalities but you get to see how they pervasive each other, which I think is awesome because it’s not something we generally think about in our relationships. How we perceive each other vs how one perceives themselves, which is generally flawed.
@@ravenm6443 So true, I would probably need to rewatch it since it's been such a long while, but I agree with what you say. I think the fact they all relied on Christopher Robin too much, made it hard to see how good they are when he's not there, and making them feel their strenghts have only been stronger because Christopher Robin was there. It's also interesting how Kanga and Roo weren't really apart of this adventure, but when you think of it, you can't really see any strenghts or flaws with them, plus Roo still being a child, they don't really have flaws and besides Roo has their own film with the Hefflalup movie. The Tigger Movie is also a really sweet film as well. Generally looking past appearance and seeing your true family standing before you. I think it was set up extremely well, because even in the very first scenes we see of Tigger, he sings about being the only Tigger, and in most cases it feels nice, being an individual, but not feeling like you have a family that could be there for you would feel extremely lonely. (Also Owl just sucks in both of these films, I'm glad he's never really been a focus in the movies.) I also love how some of the little episodes can be dark and sad, like Rabbit and Kessie. Which, I'm sure a lot of parents who watched it with their kids could relate or in the future will relate to it. And I even remember Spring time with Roo, the scene with Rabbit and Tigger while they use the book to look at the past, and see how if affected Rabbit and how depressed he sounds. I think that's what I love about them using the book in many ways for the story, able to protray things differently for everyone; almost like seeing it for another character's point of view.
Hey nick the reason that Christopher Robin lives alone in the woods with no adults is because it's all based on his imagination. Christopher Robin was the son of the author A.A Milne, and when he was a little boy he had a bunch of stuffed animals consisting of a Bear, Piglet, Donkey, tiger and a kangaroo. He would take his stuffed animals and go on adventures with them in the beautiful ancient Woodlands near his family's country home in England. His father took the adventures of his young son with his stuffed animals and turned them in to a childrens book all about a young child and his adventures with his stuffed animal friends in the fictional hundred acre wood. The real boy was actually called Christopher Robin and his stuffed animals were all named the same as in the books, winnie, Kanga, roo, Pihlet Tigger and eyeore. He also added the origional characters of Owl and Rabbit in to the books and when Disney adapted the stories years later they added the new character of Gopher. That's why eyeore's tail is beld kn with a pin and he doesnt feel pain when they put it in the characters are all stuffed animals rather than actual animals, also Piglet despite the voice is actually a male lol.
I think his name wasn't actually Christopher Robin. The movie "Goodbye Christopher Robin" is about the making of Winnie the Pooh and how it affected the author's family. Once the story took off in popularity, the fans started calling the son Christopher Robin, to the son's annoyance. Edit: my bad, his name was Christopher Robin, but his family called him Billy Moon as a nickname.
@@pie1o1morris46 His name was Christopher Robin Milne. He died in 1996. His daughter Clare Milne was born with cerebral palsy since CR married his first cousin Leslie (his maternal uncle's daughter). In his memoirs, CR openly lamented upon how he was picked on during his early school years for his ties to his father's famous stories based on his preschool misadventures in Ashdown Forest (The actual 100 Acre Wood in real life) and once he grew up, he simply wanted to succeed on his own merits without having to rely on Pooh royalties due to the commercialization Disney did to the brand. It wasn't necessarily that Christopher Robin Milne hated his famous teddy bear by any means as many posted articles & associated comments would like to have you think, but rather, he just sought to focus on the things that currently interested him (in other words, he was living in the moment, instead of remaining stuck in the past). "In the end, I would've liked to think that Pooh understood & someday, you will, too." ~CR when writing to a young girl fan of the Pooh characters who was upset upon thinking that the boy who originally owned Pooh & friends somehow detested his longtime childhood toys & perhaps even resented being recognized as the actual Christopher Robin due to how popular the Pooh property has become~
@@pie1o1morris46 Now, to be fair, CR did, for a long time, resent his father for writing the Pooh stories, feeling that his dad basically stole his childhood from him by putting it into the books. Due to his generally quiet, introverted nature, he also didn't particularly care for the celebrity status which the Pooh brand generated either, which made his & Leslie's decision to run their own bookshop business a bit of a confusing one, because they did what they felt capable of doing whilst trying to raise their daughter in the upstairs loft above the bookstore, yet they surely had to have been aware that running a bookshop even just a reasonable distance away from the Milne family Estate in Sussex (and by proxy, thereby just a small trek to reach Ashdown Forest [the real life 100 Acre Wood], too) would result in Christopher Robin having to interact with die-hard readers of the Pooh books his father had written (although the elder Milne tried repeatedly to write about more mature topics, the only thing that people seemed to want from him was more fun adventures with Pooh & friends, so A. A. Milne died regretting the ongoing timelessness of the Pooh books because their perpetual success permanently stigmatized him as a children's author for the rest of his life when he desperately wanted to be taken seriously as a writer instead of just being remembered as the creator of the Pooh stories & after visiting his father on his deathbed to finally come to terms with the shared personal grudge that both father & son equally felt towards the seemingly overnight commercialization of the Pooh brand, Christopher Robin never spoke to either of his parents again, not even going to see his mother Darlene Milne anymore before she passed, in all likelihood because of the rift in the family which was left unresolved between her & her brother/Chris's maternal uncle/his first cousin & wife Leslie's father), with some even maybe recognizing the former Billy Moon as an adult & stubbornly refusing to separate the genuine article away from the fictional namesake bearing his name which his father -- and years later, The Walt Disney Company -- had cultivated. Yes, he had been that young boy once upon a time, but he was now an adult with a family of his own to provide for & thus, CR only ever wanted to do things his own way without needing to rely on the famous legacy of his childhood, yet Clare's medical expenses due to being born with cerebral palsy -- which, no doubt, likely occurred as the direct consequence of her incestuous parentage -- ultimately forced him to cave in & take the money afforded to him by the Pooh royalties, subsequently pressuring him to face the reality that he would always be looked at as the definitive Christopher Robin, so he would need to make peace with knowing that, although he will always be THE Christopher Robin of his father's stories which were later adapted into a popular franchise by Disney, he was still able to do as well as he could without necessarily having to allow the world to interject itself into his personal life.
It probably helps to know that most of the animals except for Owl, Rabbit, and Gopher are toy stuffed animals. So they never really get hurt. They're based on the real life Christopher Robin's childhood toys.
@@a.g.demada5263 No bc look how they're drawn. Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore, Kanga, and Roo are all drawn with stiches and linings for their fluff. And they are black in the eyes for the buttons, and are rounder in shape, almost like they have no bones. Rabbit, Owl, and Gopher are just animals. No stitches, no linings, and more animal like features. Realistic eyes, fur, feathers, they have bone structure too. Rabbit's legs are stiff, Owl's wings have joints, and Gopher's teeth actually can bite down on things in the movie. That's why I'm pretty sure Rabbit and Owl are also real animals.
Bits that I still cherish from this film: Pooh accidentally swallowing a horde of bees Pooh stuck in the doorway Tigger's introduction The fear of Elephants and weasels Piglet's wind's-day *The list goes on. Even at the age of 18, it's still enjoyable*
When you said “oh, he lost his tail”? With such genuine concern, I absolutely screamed. I think you might be the most wholesome UA-camr I’ve ever seen. Please always keeping you. We love you! 😂
Pooh is described in the books as a "bear of very little brain." So he's not intentionally trying to be mean, he's just bumbling his way through life as best as he can. These stories were written by A. A. Milne for his young son Christopher Robin, and they were based off of the stuffed animals that he had. This is why you see the characters calling Christopher Robin for help so often. He's almost like the adult in this world. The animals are pretty simple-minded, and Christopher Robin is the voice of wisdom and helpful advice. When Christopher Robin goes away to school, it just means that he won't physically be home to play with his toys. If he's not playing with them, then new storylines aren't being created. Also, keep in mind that even in the cartoons, the animals aren't real. They might talk and walk around, but they're doing it as stuffed animals. So when Pooh falls out of the honey tree, or Eeyore's tail needs to be pinned back on, they're not actually being hurt, they're not actually real.
Well, they are real to Christopher Robin (and later Darby [see "My Friends Tigger and Pooh"] -- who was voiced by the girl who was Hit Girl in _Kick Ass_ -- as well as Doc McStuffins when the 100 Acre Wood characters made a cameo on that Disney Junior show), but they are only sentient in both his (and fan's) imaginations.
As I understood it, each of the characters represent an aspect of his emotions. Kind of like inside out before inside out. Pooh-curiosity Piglet-fear Tigger-extreme joy Kanga/roo-nurturing side Owl-internal wisdom Rabbit-analtical/rational side
I totally get how Pooh's behavior can be off-putting because of how seemingly careless he is about everyone and everything around him. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that he's actually only 4 years old despite sounding older (Christopher Robin's 5). When you view his behavior through that lens, he comes across a lot more pure and innocent rather than outright selfish. If you end up checking out any of the spin-offs and sequels, I think you'll like him a lot more because there's a conscious effort in a lot of later Pooh films to give him some development and show a sense of selflessness. Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin and the 2011 Winnie the Pooh movie should help a lot in that regard (keep in mind that 2011 retcons Grand Adventure in terms of continuity since both are meant to be direct sequels to Many Adventures, so you're going to see a plot device from Grand Adventure get reused in a different way in 2011 if you watch both). And if Tigger's your favorite, you'll love The Tigger Movie which stands on its own.
I adore this film! It’s a classic Disney film that will never grow old, as it is timeless. The character of Pooh is very charming, he’s just a fun and lovable character. Of course, Tigger is my personal favorite Winnie the Pooh character. Each of the characters, including Gopher is really great and the music is wonderful too. Thanks so much for the reaction, Nick!
I definitely recommend to watch the "Christopher Robin" movie! It's about the grown up Christopher Robin, how he changed, what he forgot and what he remembered + some adventures)
Fun Fact: The origins of this story all begin with A Canadian Veterinarian named Lt. Harry Colebourn bought a bear for $20 while serving in WWI. He named his new pet Winnie, after his native Winnipeg, and the cub ended up serving as a mascot for the regiment while he was stationed in England. However, when the soldier left for France, he left Winnie behind where it was safer at the London Zoo.
@@monsterhanna6691 A. A. Milne's son Christopher Robin at age of 5, renamed his teddybear to the name Winnie after meeting the bear at the London Zoo, and Pooh was the name of a swan nearby the Milne's home. And then together Winnie the Pooh. I saw it in a documentary once.
@@monsterhanna6691 not all wrong, the teddybear, C.R. named Winnie The Pooh later on, he did got from his father or maybe both of his parents, when he was only one year old. The first name of the teddybear was Edward.
Fun fact about Gopher: he’s not in the original Winnie the Pooh books but Disney decided to add him in as a character that working class Americans could relate to. He even says “I’m not in the book” which is also a clever double meaning for not being in the phone book. I hope you watch the other movies, they’re so delightful!
Loved this as a child because of the wholesome characters snd great music. Love this as an adult for the sharp postmodern meta-storytelling with the book pages and such. Probably mentioned several times already, but a great example is Gopher. The running gag of him being "not in the book" is not only a phone book reference but an acknowledgement of the fact that he is wholly a Disney creation and therefore not in the original Pooh books.
I love how this film has a familiar voice cast from other Disney titles. Sterling Holloway (Pooh, Mr. Stork, the Cheshire Cat), Paul Winchell (Tigger, Boomer the woodpecker), Barbara Luddy (Kanga, Merryweather, Lady), etc.
Nick- Is one of the most wholesome and wonderful reactors on UA-cam, and is basically just a big kid in disguise. Also Nick- Doesn't like Winnie-the-Pooh. 😂
Uh…so I’m thinking you missed the point of the film in a way. It’s mostly simple and symbolic of the childhood and growth of children. It gains significantly more meaning when you realize why these stories are written they way they are (the mind of a child) and the knowledge that eventually Christopher Robin will leave these woods forever, and the animals will never forget him. The jokes are also pretty adult, cuz they try to poke fun at regular conventions through the inquisitive mind of a child. Anyway, it’s disappointing but I guess it might only be understood if you grew up with the franchise.
Literally how they wrote the opening song: Robert Sherman (reading the book): Deep in the hundred acre wood, where Christopher Robin plays- Richard Sherman: OH MY GOD! STOP RIGHT THERE! (Spins around to piano)
You’d be surprised that when Pooh bear had a tv series from 1988 to 1991. Oh boy, Nick what you’ve been missing from your childhood? Pooh bear has been part everyone else’s childhood including me (plus with Autism on the days of VHS). Plus good ol’ Pooh will be having a Broadway puppet show.
For all it's love and simplicity, the Pooh books and characters have forever changed philosophy and personality types. "The Dao of Pooh" books explore how closely the morals in these English books mirror eastern philosophies of life. And there are now tests to show which character everyone is and how to get along with them despite their great differences to your own type. For example, if you are a rabbit, you may not get along with Tiggers or Poohs but every place needs them as much as they do you. It's very big in workplace team building....
This is a classic for all ages. I remember re-watching this for the first time my senior year of college, and the simple clarity of innocence just offered a calmness that I needed during finals week. Something about classic Disney just calms the soul.
One day my mom got a call that I had misbehaved at kindergarten. I wouldn't stay quiet when we were supposed to line up for lunch or something. Once I got home my mom asked why I didn't stay quiet. I hung my head and told her I was humming. She asked what I was humming. I said, "Winnie da poo..." I didn't get in trouble because she thought it was too cute.
The running gag of Gother not being in the book is a double entendre, cuz he is a character specifically to the shorts and not in the Winnie the Pooh books, and the fact that he is not listed in the telephone book, for digging and mining services.
As a long time fan of Winnie the Pooh and especially the character of Pooh himself (I still have a few of the movies on VHS from when I was little), I really enjoyed watching you react to the first movie ever made of it! Your laughter and comments were both really sweet and incredibly endearing and the glow you had throughout the video was contagious. I couldn't stop smiling and giggling along with you, especially when you were getting into the songs and showed so much excitement for Tigger's appearance and his segment. Your empathy for the characters (most notably Piglet and Tigger as well as Rabbit) really showed how invested you were in their characters and the stories themselves, and while a few of the main cast weren't your biggest favorite, I loved watching your reaction and hearing your thoughts and who your favorites were in spite of that! I definitely agree with how Piglet gave up his house to Owl made me upset as a kid bc it felt unfair to me that he had to do that over a misunderstanding of the sign and not speaking up and I could really relate at that time to how hard it was for Piglet to speak up and how he definitely wanted to be selfless and keep the peace, and despite being an adult now and knowing why he did it I still feel bad for Piglet anyways, and I think that's completely natural to feel. You can still understand it was Piglet being kind while also empathizing with how upset it made him to give up his house; it by no means is a bad or wrong interpretation of it, bc I've personally always held the view that people can take away any feelings the movies or characters give them and it wouldn't be wrong bc the movie Does want to make you empathize and feel for their plights! All of that said (before I ramble for too long), I just greatly loved and appreciated your reaction. It made me so happy to see one of my favorite reactors check out an animated property that's held so near and dear to my heart and to live vicariously through your reaction to it all over again. Throughout your reaction, I was just reminded of why I loved the movies so much-- bc of the joy it brings to so many people. And seeing the joy it brought you was one of the nicest and sweetest things I've seen today. Thank you so much for sharing your reaction and keep up the absolutely phenomenal work! (And if you ever venture into Winnie the Pooh territory again, Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search For Christopher Robin, The Tigger Movie, A Very Merry Pooh Year, Seasons of Giving (specifically for the Find Her, Keep Her story!), and Christopher Robin (2018) are a few of the ones I highly recommend, as to this day they've always left such a big impression on me as well as making me emotional and leaving my heart feeling warm and fuzzy)
Despite Nick's rating of my favorite childhood movie and character, I love his reaction throughout the whole film, especially the scene "Don't feed the bear!" 😂😂😂
It's my favorite scene too (even if I grew up with the french version). Fun fact : the man who voiced Winnie in french, voiced also Coco Rabbit and Piglet and a lot of others Disney characters (some of the movies are in Nick's channel)
I loved Disney's Winnie the Pooh when I was a kid and was a Pooh fan back then. Now as an adult I'm no longer a Pooh fan (it's ok, good and fine but not one of my favourites as I've grown out of the Pooh films) but the films do have their great voice acting, strongest moments, funny moments and beautiful movements.
Hey Nick, on the contrary on what you said if “Christopher Robin” is a title of a movie, it is in fact a movie,it’s a live action remake of Winnie the Pooh so if you like the many adventures of Winnie the Pooh, then you’ll love “Christopher Robin”.
I know I’m late to this but my favorite joke from this movie is the Gopher repeatedly going “I’m not in the book” because he means he’s not in the phone book, so they can’t look him up, but also it’s a meta joke because Gopher literally isn’t in the book the movie is based on and was created for the movie. It’s just a cute little inside joke that I like a lot.
Yes, I agree about Tigger being the most fun. He was always my favorite character in the Winnie the Pooh series. As for Rabbit, I used to think as a little kid he was this bossy, know-it-all, uptight character who just wasn't much fun. But as I got older, I began to realize more and more that Rabbit also had his own good points. And just trying to get all of your hard grown vegetables harvested to survive the long winter ahead only to have this perpetually hyperactive bouncy tiger of a creature just pounce right on you and destroy it all, that has to be the epitome of frustration for Rabbit.
A childhood classic! Not for excitement or for tear-jerking, but for just existing and exemplifying those long summer afternoons and evenings experienced by children. I haven't watched this one all the way through in a great number of years, but I've absolutely rewatched the Heffalumps and Woozles sequence for its surrealism and its eerie vibes. Whenever I see Winnie the Pooh animated, I'm _always_ reminded of the TV show The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, its theme song, and the burst of nostalgia serotonin that comes with it. (Maybe that's how I forgot how low-key rude this Pooh in Many Adventures is lol)
This is my absolute favorite kids film! Reminds me of my childhood when I’d play outside all day and my stuffed animals meant more to me than just toys. This film and other Winnie the Pooh films are so good at capturing the innocence and joy of being a child!
Me and my sisters liked to imitate the moment with Gopher. I wrote a cute fact about Roger Carel, the man who voiced Winnie, Coco Rabbit and Piglet in the french version
This movie will always hold a lot of magic for me. I watched the hell out of it as a kid, and even now as an adult I enjoy the simple charm of the stories. There have been additions to the story, but this original movie will forever be my favorite.
I'm glad you enjoyed this so much, this is in my top 5 favorite Disney movies! :) Fun Fact: This is actually 3 shorts complied into a movie. The first part with Pooh looking for honey was called Winnie The Pooh and the Honey Tree, which released in 1966, and was the only one Walt Disney himself was alive for the release of. The second one- Winnie The Pooh and the Blustery Day, was everything from the windy day up to Pooh's hero party. This released in 1968 and actually won an Oscar for Best Animated Short Film. The 3rd and last one, released in 1974, was Winnie The Pooh and Tigger Too, which was all about Tigger's bouncing. :)
The narrator in this movie is Sebastian Cabot who has done voice overs in other Disney movies. He also appeared in my all time favourite time travel movie from 1960 known as The Time Machine which is always worth a watch.
You don't have to worry about the pain because all the animals, except Gopher, are stuffed animals. About Gopher, if he looks familiar for you, maybe it's because his design is based of the beaver in " The Lady and the Tramp ". I have a very cute story about Roger Carel who voiced Winnie, Coco Rabbit and Piglet in the french version. He was in a book signing when he heard a woman saying to her daughter whl he was but when the little girl looked at him, she didn't seems convince. So, he said to her " Mais, tu ne me, tu ne me reconnais pas ? " (" But, you don't recognize me ? " in english) with Piglet's voice and after that she had a big smile and said to her grandmother she saw Piglet.
This movie really brings back a lot of good pleasant memories. Thanks for reacting to this movie, Nick. It really made my evening a lot better tonight.!
Thank you so much for doing this reaction! The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh is my comfort movie that I put on when I’m sick, or have really bad anxiety related insomnia. Love your reactions, and can’t wait for the next ones to come! ❤️
The voice of Pooh (Sterling Holloway) is also Kaa (the snake) in The Jungle Book, the mouse in the Aristocats and the Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland 😊 And the voice of Kanga (Barbra Luddy) is also the fairy Merryweather in Sleeping Beauty and Lady in Lady and the Tramp!
I absolutely adore this movie. Heffalumps and Woozles is probably my favorite sequence. I know the whole scene of Tigger being introduced and then the song by heart. Also, honey is my favorite food in the world so I've wished I could trade places with Pooh many times, even for an hour so I could eat honey and have friends to play with.
When i was 7, my big sister was have Winnie the Poo dvd and i was love them to react. Also i was collecting money to give myself A Piglet and Lampy plush toys for my 8. Birthday and they still in my toy box❤
This is my go to movie when I'm sick, it's the ultimate comfort movie. Thanks for reacting! Also, things dont really hurt the animals because they are Chistopher Robins stuffed animal toys. And thats also why Pooh could use a baloon to float. Hes very light despite being so round. Before being a Disney thing, Winnie the pooh was a character in books and poems written by A.A. Milne. A.A. Milne wrote down the many stories he told his child, all about his kid's stuffed animals and the many adventures they could go on. His son was named Christopher Robin Milne, and Christopher's favourite stuffed animal was his bear, named Winnie the pooh.
Me, it was " the Rescuers " and it's funny because the man who voiced Bernard in french is also the voice of Winnie, Coco Rabbit and Piglet. If I remember well, only Gopher isn't a stuffed animal, no ?
I actually completely forgot this movie existed! But seeing these scenes brings back SO many memories from when I used to watch this over and over again as a toddler. I can recall every part of the Heffalumps and Woozles song but I barely remember anything else lol. Thanks for reminding me this film existed! It's not amazing but it's got a nice cozy feel.
I loved watching Winnie the Pooh so so many times. I also watched so many other movies about Winnie the Pooh. I have all the characters as plushies and I still love them all dearly. I've read the book so many times. And here's a fun thing. When I was born my parents had bought me a plushie who waited for me and has always been with me everywhere. He's a huffelump, so I think that it's only fitting that I love Winnie the Pooh so much. Also our dog's called Piglet
I’m SO glad you reacted Nick. Pooh is my childhood bear 🥺 He’s been part of my childhood since I was a baby and I’m 22 now. I have a vintage bear I got at 15 and he’s up in my closet where he’s safe 💚
I don't know if you caught on to this so, just in case: the characters Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, Eeyore, Kanga, and Roo are, actually, all stuffed animals (they belong to Christopher Robin). That's why Eeyore's tail is attached by a little nail and it doesn't really hurt him. That's, also, why they always run to Christopher Robin for help. He's the closest thing they have to an authority figure, since this is basically his fantasy world. Rabbit, Owl, and Gopher are, actually, wild forest animals, which is why their designs are a little more realistic and don't have the stuffed animal stitching that characters like Pooh and Eeyore do. (The film kinda figures the older audience knows most of this 'cause the original A.A. Milne books are so famous/popular so, they don't put too heavy of an emphasis on spelling it out). P.S. Piglet is actually supposed to be a boy (I heard you call him "she" a couple times). The man who voiced him, John Fiedler, had a very unique soft/high natural voice and, actually, sounded very similar to Piglet in real life, as well. It's funny, if you imagine what Piglet might look like as a real person... that's pretty much what John Fiedler looked like 😆(a gentle-looking little man with glasses).
Thank you for doing this review - I love the Pooh stories very much. It’s also extra special for me because I had my own set of stuffed animals that I had “adventures” with when I was little. I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy this as much as many of us…but it helps to see it as the way a child views the world, rather than an adult
Sterling Holloway still is Pooh Bear to me, even after his death. There was just something about his voice that was pure kindness. I know Jim Cummings has voiced Pooh ever since Sterling passed, but when I stop to really think about it, it seems uncomfortable having someone else try and copy your voice - your REAL voice. Sterling really sounded like that.
I watched this movie a lot as a kid. Pooh is the most genuinely kind character. I seriously hope you watch Pooh’s Grand Adventure: The Search For Christopher Robin. Edit: I actually might watch that movie after I watch this lol.
@@omegashark1837 Yeah, I don’t want to ruin it for Nick but there’s one scene that makes me cry. It’s a good film though and I love the overall message of the movie and it’s ability be both silly and heartfelt.
@@ravenm6443 The film in general tugs at your heartstrings and leaves a lump in your throat. Makes it unique among it’s Winnie the Pooh contemporaries.
As the theme song says, the Hundred Acre Wood is Christopher Robin’s “land of make believe,” so Christopher Robin didn’t live there, but the world lived in him. I love this franchise so much. Tigger is my favorite. 🐅🧡
Except the 100 Acre Wood is real. It's known as Ashdown Forest in Sussex, England. The only thing imaginative is that CR gave sentience to his stuffed toys.
I never watched this movie, but I know the characters of course. I will say I have heard the songs at least and they are very nice. I really like the woozles and heffalumps song most of all. Also it is okay Nick if you didn't quiet like Pooh, I can understand how this being your first exposure to Winnie the Pooh. It is quiet a different experience when you watch these characters of the first time rather than growing up with them. But also glad you gave this movie a try!
This is classic!!! I even had the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh CD Rom computer game growing up! Winnie the Pooh is a classic for everyone and has the best movies! Nick, you have to watch the other movies! Whether it's once a month or random, you NEED to watch the movies! They are wonderful and wholesome and just amazing!
I love watching all these Pooh movies and TV shows as a kid. The one I used to watch the most was "The New adventures of Winnie the Pooh." I don't know if you take suggestions or not but I would like to see you check out the Herbie movies starting with "The Love Bug"
Fun fact about the film, it's actually another package film consisting of 3 Winnie the Pooh featurettes, Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree (1966), Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day (1968), and Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too (1974)
I love how the book is based off a real child and his animals. I had so many stuffed animals growing up and they all had names and personalities and this book and movie always made me feel like I had such support and love from my animals. What a clever parent.
"Is he really living alone in those woods without his parents?" Nick. Those are his stuffed animals. These stories are his world of make-believe and the hundred acre wood is probably the area somewhere behind his house. You know how these stories all take place inside a book? His dad wrote the books. Christopher Robin was a real little boy once and his dad wrote these stories down for him.
Did you know that each character represents a form of a disability? Winnie the Pooh; Eating disorder Piglet: Anxiety Eeyore: depression Rabbit: OCD Tigger: ADHD Those are the ones I know so far, if anyone else remembers the others, let me know.
Owl- Dyslexia Short Term Memory Loss Kanga-Social Anxiety Disorder Roo-ASD(Autism) Christopher Robin-Schizophrenia (I forgot to add Owl also has Narcissistic Personality)
YOOOO this is my childhood right here. I'm glad you enjoyed it nick!! Honestly for me, nothing tops Winnie the pooh. An absolute masterpiece and an absolute classic
Winnie the Pooh is now technically public domain, as the original book was released in 1926, which all works from that year just became public domain this year. Disney still maintains rights to this particular adaptation though.
This takes me back to my childhood! Sitting in my grandparents living room watching this movie along with the series and just sing along to the whimsical songs of poo and his friends. Tiger was my favorite character. You should really get your hands on the movie Christopher Robin which shows him all grown up it still has that beautiful charm we all remembered as little kids. Edit: You're entitled to your opinion on winnie the pooh don't let anyone tell you otherwise
Please do not make fun of me for this , but This little story happened at Christmas last year. On Christmas Day, I went to Magic Kingdom at Disney World in 2021 last year. At night, I rode the Winnie the Pooh ride in Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom, and after the ride, I went into the Winnie The Pooh gift shop, and I saw the cutest little Tigger toy I have ever seen, but the thing is I looked at the price and it costed about almost $40.00. The employees told me and my parents the reason why it costed so much was because they somehow lost a shipment of new toys. As a result, I ended up not buying the toy.
You were asking about Christopher Robin's parents. In the books, the narrator is his father. Author, A.A. Milne, wrote the books for his son, who was named Christopher Robin, and Pooh and friends were his toys (except for Rabbit and Owl).
And in _Welcome to Pooh Corner_ we kind of get to see what Disney's interpretation of A.A. Milne/Mr. Narrator would look like when they had Laurie Main portray him in-person and then introduce the adventures of Pooh & friends (performed as costumed characters) and even interact with the characters by way of the big story book he had. In _The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh_ (the 1990's animated series that originally got its start airing on ABC every Saturday before moving to the Disney Channel & later, Toon Disney) we got to see Mrs. Milne in animated form whenever she interacted with her son.
winnie the pooh meant so much to me as a child. me and my siblings owned a couple dvds and watched them frequently. i used to own clothes with winnie the pooh and the others on them. a duvet cover and a pillow cas too. the pillow case is still on my bed, actually.
There was actually a full show with these characters during the Disney Saturday Morning Cartoon era. If you're interested I think it does a fantastic job expanding on all of these characters & relationships - Piglet's co-dependence, Pooh & Cristopher Robin's sorta backwards child-parental roles, whether gloomy Eeyore is depressed or just introverted, etc.
I loved this when I was a kid! I knew that Pooh's voice was the same as Kaa from The Jungle Book but I just now realized that the narrator is the voice of Bagheera 🥰
Hey everyone hope you enjoyed the reaction! See you next for La La Land and Stuart Little!!
Burton’s ,,Big Fish”, please 🙏🏼
I love Winnie the Pooh so much, I don’t even have the words to accurately describe how much these means to me.
You could not watch this movie in China, even saying Winnie the Pooh looks like the president of China ( which he does ) will get you life in prison.
What I'm about to say is an interesting theory. Not confirmed.
Each character depicts a mental disorder.
Winnie is eating disorder
Tigger is ADHD
Piglet is anxiety
Rabbit is OCD
Owl is dyslexia
Kanga is social anxiety
Roo is autistic
Eeyore has depression
And Christopher Robin has schizophrenia
If I may ask, if you are gonna watch Stuart Little, does that mean you will watch Stuart Little 2 as well?
You know? As a kid, Rabbit annoyed me for being so uptight. But now that I'm an adult, I related to him so much more. This poor bunny gets eaten out of house and home, then gets that entitled guest stuck in his door, and his produce is constantly ruined by Tigger.
I know Rabbit can get bossy sometimes, but with this group of friends, I'd be frustrated too.
I honestly love Rabbit in a similar way to Donald Duck, although I love Rabbit a lot more; both are uptight, bossy, have temper tantrums, and get annoyed by their family and friends, but still have a good heart. What's not to love there?
He's kinda like Rarity in MLP, he is the adult with a job and responsibilities, surrounded by a bunch of kids.
He’s basically the Squidward here
@@unforeseeable2.058 Ha, I was literally about to type that it's very similar to how our opinion of Squidward changes as we get older.
This clip demonstrates why Rabbit is my favorite character:

If you like Tigger, I suggest you give "the Tigger movie" a try! It's a cute movie that does a lot with Tigger's character!
Pooh's Heffalump Movie is my favorite of the franchise. I love Roo and we had the DVD. It's a really cute movie and I like the songs
Piglet's Big Movie is also great!
None of the movies are as good as this one.
I love all the movies, this one, The Tigger Movie, Piglet's Big Movie and Pooh's Heffalump Movie
you should try those 2 Winnie the pooh shoes New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh & My Friends Tigger & Pooh with Cody
"Goodbye? Oh no, can't we just go back to the beginning and do it over again?"
I feel that.
That's the great thing about Books and Movies,etc. You CAN!
i just started rewatching the new adventures of winnie the pooh on disney+ for the first time in like 20 years and oh my goodness. it's like revisiting an old friend
I always honestly cry when the ending comes up and when it’s Pooh and Christopher. It’s just a classic and never changes.
Some things you should know about Winnie the Pooh:
1. The world is simple and silly. Dont take things too seriously.
2. Everyone except for Christopher Robin, Rabbit, Gopher, and Owl is a stuffed animal.
3. Christopher Robin was a real person. His father came up with the Winnie the Pooh book series based on his kid's adventures with his stuffed animals. (The toys are in a museum now.)
4. The books (and Disney movies) are absolute classics.
5. It doesn't hurt Eeyore when his tail is pulled off or hammered back. No need to worry.
6. Heffalumps and Woozles are incorrect spellings of Elephants and weasels and in the Winnie the Pooh world, they are creatures to be feared.
7. Piglet is a he.
8. The real Christopher Robin grew up to hate Winnie the Pooh because his dad (author and creator of Pooh) exploited his childhood for profit. He was bullied and tormented by people just for being Christopher Robin.
@@nl396
I know. Its sad.
Funnily enough, I used to think Rabbit was a girl when I was younger, yet somehow I knew Piglet was a boy.
Also, thanks for reminding me of that _Family Guy_ skit with Pooh and Eeyore - that was pretty funny. Though, for some reason, Pooh sounded exactly he did on that “Too Smart For Strangers” video. *_shudder_*
@@nl396 Yeah, this is why I feel a bit iffy about using my family’s real names for characters based on them in any works of fiction I’m working on. Granted, they’re all grown adults now, so it won’t be *as* big a deal for them as it was for poor Christopher, but I want to make it clear that these characters are their own characters, and any resemblance to the real people on my life is purely inspirational.
9. Winnie-the-Pooh was named after the real Christopher Robin’s pronunciation of Winnipeg, a tame bear that had been donated to the London Zoo. Which CR named his favorite teddy bear after, of course.
This whole entire franchise is one that I think you'd love. It may not have ground-breaking stuff but it is filled with a colorful charm. Winnie the Pooh has a very long and rich history with the Disney company and I'm sure you'd enjoy all of what it would bring (both in films and the show he had). And, while I couldn't help but notice that you didn't like Pooh himself as much as I thought you would, I will say that he does better as the stories go on.
It isn't a Franchise! A franchise is something you can buy into and start your own and that is NOT happening with Disney!
To explain the Piglet thing with his house. Piglet isn’t a brave character and he doesn’t like confrontation. He also cares about his friends, so on one hand, he doesn’t want to give up his house but he doesn’t want confrontation and he wants his friend to have a place to live.
You definitely get a more defined vision of their personalities, strengths and weaknesses in the movie I suggested in another comment.
Was the movie you recommened, the grand adventure?
@@kitty3999 yes 🙂
@@ravenm6443 Ah, I thought so. Such a perfect film that not only was adventurous and scary for a winnie the pooh movie, but one that greatly explored everyone's characterstics and pushed the characters out of their comfort zone. :)
One of my fav movies from this frandise.
@@kitty3999 I agree. It’s why I recommended it. And not only do you get to see more of their personalities but you get to see how they pervasive each other, which I think is awesome because it’s not something we generally think about in our relationships. How we perceive each other vs how one perceives themselves, which is generally flawed.
@@ravenm6443 So true, I would probably need to rewatch it since it's been such a long while, but I agree with what you say. I think the fact they all relied on Christopher Robin too much, made it hard to see how good they are when he's not there, and making them feel their strenghts have only been stronger because Christopher Robin was there.
It's also interesting how Kanga and Roo weren't really apart of this adventure, but when you think of it, you can't really see any strenghts or flaws with them, plus Roo still being a child, they don't really have flaws and besides Roo has their own film with the Hefflalup movie.
The Tigger Movie is also a really sweet film as well. Generally looking past appearance and seeing your true family standing before you. I think it was set up extremely well, because even in the very first scenes we see of Tigger, he sings about being the only Tigger, and in most cases it feels nice, being an individual, but not feeling like you have a family that could be there for you would feel extremely lonely. (Also Owl just sucks in both of these films, I'm glad he's never really been a focus in the movies.)
I also love how some of the little episodes can be dark and sad, like Rabbit and Kessie. Which, I'm sure a lot of parents who watched it with their kids could relate or in the future will relate to it. And I even remember Spring time with Roo, the scene with Rabbit and Tigger while they use the book to look at the past, and see how if affected Rabbit and how depressed he sounds. I think that's what I love about them using the book in many ways for the story, able to protray things differently for everyone; almost like seeing it for another character's point of view.
Hey nick the reason that Christopher Robin lives alone in the woods with no adults is because it's all based on his imagination.
Christopher Robin was the son of the author A.A Milne, and when he was a little boy he had a bunch of stuffed animals consisting of a Bear, Piglet, Donkey, tiger and a kangaroo. He would take his stuffed animals and go on adventures with them in the beautiful ancient Woodlands near his family's country home in England.
His father took the adventures of his young son with his stuffed animals and turned them in to a childrens book all about a young child and his adventures with his stuffed animal friends in the fictional hundred acre wood.
The real boy was actually called Christopher Robin and his stuffed animals were all named the same as in the books, winnie, Kanga, roo, Pihlet Tigger and eyeore. He also added the origional characters of Owl and Rabbit in to the books and when Disney adapted the stories years later they added the new character of Gopher.
That's why eyeore's tail is beld kn with a pin and he doesnt feel pain when they put it in the characters are all stuffed animals rather than actual animals, also Piglet despite the voice is actually a male lol.
Oh, it's for that Gopher says he's not in the book
I think his name wasn't actually Christopher Robin. The movie "Goodbye Christopher Robin" is about the making of Winnie the Pooh and how it affected the author's family. Once the story took off in popularity, the fans started calling the son Christopher Robin, to the son's annoyance.
Edit: my bad, his name was Christopher Robin, but his family called him Billy Moon as a nickname.
@@pie1o1morris46 His name was Christopher Robin Milne. He died in 1996. His daughter Clare Milne was born with cerebral palsy since CR married his first cousin Leslie (his maternal uncle's daughter).
In his memoirs, CR openly lamented upon how he was picked on during his early school years for his ties to his father's famous stories based on his preschool misadventures in Ashdown Forest (The actual 100 Acre Wood in real life) and once he grew up, he simply wanted to succeed on his own merits without having to rely on Pooh royalties due to the commercialization Disney did to the brand.
It wasn't necessarily that Christopher Robin Milne hated his famous teddy bear by any means as many posted articles & associated comments would like to have you think, but rather, he just sought to focus on the things that currently interested him (in other words, he was living in the moment, instead of remaining stuck in the past).
"In the end, I would've liked to think that Pooh understood & someday, you will, too."
~CR when writing to a young girl fan of the Pooh characters who was upset upon thinking that the boy who originally owned Pooh & friends somehow detested his longtime childhood toys & perhaps even resented being recognized as the actual Christopher Robin due to how popular the Pooh property has become~
@@TherealRNOwwfpooh interesting i didn't know that
@@pie1o1morris46 Now, to be fair, CR did, for a long time, resent his father for writing the Pooh stories, feeling that his dad basically stole his childhood from him by putting it into the books. Due to his generally quiet, introverted nature, he also didn't particularly care for the celebrity status which the Pooh brand generated either, which made his & Leslie's decision to run their own bookshop business a bit of a confusing one, because they did what they felt capable of doing whilst trying to raise their daughter in the upstairs loft above the bookstore, yet they surely had to have been aware that running a bookshop even just a reasonable distance away from the Milne family Estate in Sussex (and by proxy, thereby just a small trek to reach Ashdown Forest [the real life 100 Acre Wood], too) would result in Christopher Robin having to interact with die-hard readers of the Pooh books his father had written (although the elder Milne tried repeatedly to write about more mature topics, the only thing that people seemed to want from him was more fun adventures with Pooh & friends, so A. A. Milne died regretting the ongoing timelessness of the Pooh books because their perpetual success permanently stigmatized him as a children's author for the rest of his life when he desperately wanted to be taken seriously as a writer instead of just being remembered as the creator of the Pooh stories & after visiting his father on his deathbed to finally come to terms with the shared personal grudge that both father & son equally felt towards the seemingly overnight commercialization of the Pooh brand, Christopher Robin never spoke to either of his parents again, not even going to see his mother Darlene Milne anymore before she passed, in all likelihood because of the rift in the family which was left unresolved between her & her brother/Chris's maternal uncle/his first cousin & wife Leslie's father), with some even maybe recognizing the former Billy Moon as an adult & stubbornly refusing to separate the genuine article away from the fictional namesake bearing his name which his father -- and years later, The Walt Disney Company -- had cultivated.
Yes, he had been that young boy once upon a time, but he was now an adult with a family of his own to provide for & thus, CR only ever wanted to do things his own way without needing to rely on the famous legacy of his childhood, yet Clare's medical expenses due to being born with cerebral palsy -- which, no doubt, likely occurred as the direct consequence of her incestuous parentage -- ultimately forced him to cave in & take the money afforded to him by the Pooh royalties, subsequently pressuring him to face the reality that he would always be looked at as the definitive Christopher Robin, so he would need to make peace with knowing that, although he will always be THE Christopher Robin of his father's stories which were later adapted into a popular franchise by Disney, he was still able to do as well as he could without necessarily having to allow the world to interject itself into his personal life.
It probably helps to know that most of the animals except for Owl, Rabbit, and Gopher are toy stuffed animals. So they never really get hurt. They're based on the real life Christopher Robin's childhood toys.
I thought only Gopher wasn't a toy ?
@@a.g.demada5263 No bc look how they're drawn. Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore, Kanga, and Roo are all drawn with stiches and linings for their fluff. And they are black in the eyes for the buttons, and are rounder in shape, almost like they have no bones. Rabbit, Owl, and Gopher are just animals. No stitches, no linings, and more animal like features. Realistic eyes, fur, feathers, they have bone structure too. Rabbit's legs are stiff, Owl's wings have joints, and Gopher's teeth actually can bite down on things in the movie. That's why I'm pretty sure Rabbit and Owl are also real animals.
@@DAMIENDMILLS ah because I read on Internet only Gopher wasn't a stuffed animal but maybe you're right.
@@a.g.demada5263 Also have you seen the new movie "Christopher Robin"? Even in that movie, only Rabbit and Owl were real animals
@@DAMIENDMILLS no I just saw the trailer
Disney has managed to retain some of the magic of Alan Milne's book, particularly the themes of childhood and growing up.
I know, when read the book I was kinda shocked at how similar they were.
Bits that I still cherish from this film:
Pooh accidentally swallowing a horde of bees
Pooh stuck in the doorway
Tigger's introduction
The fear of Elephants and weasels
Piglet's wind's-day
*The list goes on. Even at the age of 18, it's still enjoyable*
I believe you meant heffalumps and woozels 😉
@@leahtheanimationfan40 I haven't seen this in 9 years but thanks for correcting me
I remember watching this movie all the time when i was little, and even as an adult i still think it's a fun movie to watch!!!
When you said “oh, he lost his tail”? With such genuine concern, I absolutely screamed. I think you might be the most wholesome UA-camr I’ve ever seen. Please always keeping you. We love you! 😂
Pooh is described in the books as a "bear of very little brain." So he's not intentionally trying to be mean, he's just bumbling his way through life as best as he can.
These stories were written by A. A. Milne for his young son Christopher Robin, and they were based off of the stuffed animals that he had. This is why you see the characters calling Christopher Robin for help so often. He's almost like the adult in this world. The animals are pretty simple-minded, and Christopher Robin is the voice of wisdom and helpful advice.
When Christopher Robin goes away to school, it just means that he won't physically be home to play with his toys. If he's not playing with them, then new storylines aren't being created.
Also, keep in mind that even in the cartoons, the animals aren't real. They might talk and walk around, but they're doing it as stuffed animals. So when Pooh falls out of the honey tree, or Eeyore's tail needs to be pinned back on, they're not actually being hurt, they're not actually real.
Well, they are real to Christopher Robin (and later Darby [see "My Friends Tigger and Pooh"] -- who was voiced by the girl who was Hit Girl in _Kick Ass_ -- as well as Doc McStuffins when the 100 Acre Wood characters made a cameo on that Disney Junior show), but they are only sentient in both his (and fan's) imaginations.
As I understood it, each of the characters represent an aspect of his emotions. Kind of like inside out before inside out.
Pooh-curiosity
Piglet-fear
Tigger-extreme joy
Kanga/roo-nurturing side
Owl-internal wisdom
Rabbit-analtical/rational side
And Eeyore is depression….
Poor Eeyore
@@osmanyousif7849 thank you. I'm sorry,I forgot about Eeyore.
I totally get how Pooh's behavior can be off-putting because of how seemingly careless he is about everyone and everything around him. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that he's actually only 4 years old despite sounding older (Christopher Robin's 5). When you view his behavior through that lens, he comes across a lot more pure and innocent rather than outright selfish. If you end up checking out any of the spin-offs and sequels, I think you'll like him a lot more because there's a conscious effort in a lot of later Pooh films to give him some development and show a sense of selflessness. Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin and the 2011 Winnie the Pooh movie should help a lot in that regard (keep in mind that 2011 retcons Grand Adventure in terms of continuity since both are meant to be direct sequels to Many Adventures, so you're going to see a plot device from Grand Adventure get reused in a different way in 2011 if you watch both). And if Tigger's your favorite, you'll love The Tigger Movie which stands on its own.
Gosh, it's been so many years since I've seen this movie. The opening music punched me in the face with nostalgia.
I adore this film! It’s a classic Disney film that will never grow old, as it is timeless. The character of Pooh is very charming, he’s just a fun and lovable character. Of course, Tigger is my personal favorite Winnie the Pooh character. Each of the characters, including Gopher is really great and the music is wonderful too. Thanks so much for the reaction, Nick!
I definitely recommend to watch the "Christopher Robin" movie! It's about the grown up Christopher Robin, how he changed, what he forgot and what he remembered + some adventures)
I saw it in theatres.
I've seen it too it's really good
A definite recommendation!
@@ionryful I agree, also The Tigger Movie is good too
@@michaelharperamericannight2891 also Pooh's Heffalump Movie is amazing too, very underrated. It was a childhood favorite of mine!
Fun Fact: The origins of this story all begin with A Canadian Veterinarian named Lt. Harry Colebourn bought a bear for $20 while serving in WWI. He named his new pet Winnie, after his native Winnipeg, and the cub ended up serving as a mascot for the regiment while he was stationed in England. However, when the soldier left for France, he left Winnie behind where it was safer at the London Zoo.
I thought it was from him getting a bear for his son, Christopher, and then making a book from it?
@@monsterhanna6691 A. A. Milne's son Christopher Robin at age of 5, renamed his teddybear to the name Winnie after meeting the bear at the London Zoo, and Pooh was the name of a swan nearby the Milne's home. And then together Winnie the Pooh. I saw it in a documentary once.
@@CarlsonDeeLaMaine Oh, I guess I remembered it wrong.
@@monsterhanna6691 not all wrong, the teddybear, C.R. named Winnie The Pooh later on, he did got from his father or maybe both of his parents, when he was only one year old. The first name of the teddybear was Edward.
@@CarlsonDeeLaMaine Or as some would likely posit, Edward Sanders (since Pooh "lived under the name of Sanders" after all).
Fun fact about Gopher: he’s not in the original Winnie the Pooh books but Disney decided to add him in as a character that working class Americans could relate to. He even says “I’m not in the book” which is also a clever double meaning for not being in the phone book. I hope you watch the other movies, they’re so delightful!
Well I’ll be damned. Not at all what I was expecting, but a very pleasant surprise all the same! It’s so nice to see this movie again after 20 years
Loved this as a child because of the wholesome characters snd great music.
Love this as an adult for the sharp postmodern meta-storytelling with the book pages and such.
Probably mentioned several times already, but a great example is Gopher. The running gag of him being "not in the book" is not only a phone book reference but an acknowledgement of the fact that he is wholly a Disney creation and therefore not in the original Pooh books.
I love how this film has a familiar voice cast from other Disney titles. Sterling Holloway (Pooh, Mr. Stork, the Cheshire Cat), Paul Winchell (Tigger, Boomer the woodpecker), Barbara Luddy (Kanga, Merryweather, Lady), etc.
Also Bruce Reitherman (Christopher Robin and Mowgli) and Sebastian Cabot (The Narrator and Bagheerra)
In the french voice cast, Winnie, Coco Rabbit and Piglet are voiced by the same guy (Roger Carel).
Also Otis from Andy Griffith show voices Owl, and Gopher is Ernest T. bass from. The same sitcom.
Nick- Is one of the most wholesome and wonderful reactors on UA-cam, and is basically just a big kid in disguise.
Also Nick- Doesn't like Winnie-the-Pooh. 😂
I used to dislike it, too. I think the name put me off as a child.
Uh…so I’m thinking you missed the point of the film in a way. It’s mostly simple and symbolic of the childhood and growth of children. It gains significantly more meaning when you realize why these stories are written they way they are (the mind of a child) and the knowledge that eventually Christopher Robin will leave these woods forever, and the animals will never forget him.
The jokes are also pretty adult, cuz they try to poke fun at regular conventions through the inquisitive mind of a child.
Anyway, it’s disappointing but I guess it might only be understood if you grew up with the franchise.
Definitely agree, apologies though I know it's a big classic to lots of you!

You’d be surprised that when Pooh bear had a tv series from 1988 to 1991. Oh boy, Nick what you’ve been missing from your childhood? Pooh bear has been part everyone else’s childhood including me (plus with Autism on the days of VHS). Plus good ol’ Pooh will be having a Broadway puppet show.
For all it's love and simplicity, the Pooh books and characters have forever changed philosophy and personality types. "The Dao of Pooh" books explore how closely the morals in these English books mirror eastern philosophies of life. And there are now tests to show which character everyone is and how to get along with them despite their great differences to your own type. For example, if you are a rabbit, you may not get along with Tiggers or Poohs but every place needs them as much as they do you. It's very big in workplace team building....
This is a classic for all ages. I remember re-watching this for the first time my senior year of college, and the simple clarity of innocence just offered a calmness that I needed during finals week. Something about classic Disney just calms the soul.
14:47 Rabbit in the 1977 film voiced by Junius Matthews who also voiced Archimedes from The Sword in The Stone.
I never noticed that before until Nick pointed it out, and I absolutely love that since I love both of these characters. 😍😍😍
One day my mom got a call that I had misbehaved at kindergarten. I wouldn't stay quiet when we were supposed to line up for lunch or something.
Once I got home my mom asked why I didn't stay quiet.
I hung my head and told her I was humming.
She asked what I was humming.
I said, "Winnie da poo..."
I didn't get in trouble because she thought it was too cute.
The running gag of Gother not being in the book is a double entendre, cuz he is a character specifically to the shorts and not in the Winnie the Pooh books, and the fact that he is not listed in the telephone book, for digging and mining services.
As a long time fan of Winnie the Pooh and especially the character of Pooh himself (I still have a few of the movies on VHS from when I was little), I really enjoyed watching you react to the first movie ever made of it! Your laughter and comments were both really sweet and incredibly endearing and the glow you had throughout the video was contagious. I couldn't stop smiling and giggling along with you, especially when you were getting into the songs and showed so much excitement for Tigger's appearance and his segment. Your empathy for the characters (most notably Piglet and Tigger as well as Rabbit) really showed how invested you were in their characters and the stories themselves, and while a few of the main cast weren't your biggest favorite, I loved watching your reaction and hearing your thoughts and who your favorites were in spite of that! I definitely agree with how Piglet gave up his house to Owl made me upset as a kid bc it felt unfair to me that he had to do that over a misunderstanding of the sign and not speaking up and I could really relate at that time to how hard it was for Piglet to speak up and how he definitely wanted to be selfless and keep the peace, and despite being an adult now and knowing why he did it I still feel bad for Piglet anyways, and I think that's completely natural to feel. You can still understand it was Piglet being kind while also empathizing with how upset it made him to give up his house; it by no means is a bad or wrong interpretation of it, bc I've personally always held the view that people can take away any feelings the movies or characters give them and it wouldn't be wrong bc the movie Does want to make you empathize and feel for their plights!
All of that said (before I ramble for too long), I just greatly loved and appreciated your reaction. It made me so happy to see one of my favorite reactors check out an animated property that's held so near and dear to my heart and to live vicariously through your reaction to it all over again. Throughout your reaction, I was just reminded of why I loved the movies so much-- bc of the joy it brings to so many people. And seeing the joy it brought you was one of the nicest and sweetest things I've seen today. Thank you so much for sharing your reaction and keep up the absolutely phenomenal work!
(And if you ever venture into Winnie the Pooh territory again, Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search For Christopher Robin, The Tigger Movie, A Very Merry Pooh Year, Seasons of Giving (specifically for the Find Her, Keep Her story!), and Christopher Robin (2018) are a few of the ones I highly recommend, as to this day they've always left such a big impression on me as well as making me emotional and leaving my heart feeling warm and fuzzy)
Despite Nick's rating of my favorite childhood movie and character, I love his reaction throughout the whole film, especially the scene "Don't feed the bear!" 😂😂😂
It's my favorite scene too (even if I grew up with the french version).
Fun fact : the man who voiced Winnie in french, voiced also Coco Rabbit and Piglet and a lot of others Disney characters (some of the movies are in Nick's channel)
I loved Disney's Winnie the Pooh when I was a kid and was a Pooh fan back then. Now as an adult I'm no longer a Pooh fan (it's ok, good and fine but not one of my favourites as I've grown out of the Pooh films) but the films do have their great voice acting, strongest moments, funny moments and beautiful movements.
Hey Nick, on the contrary on what you said if “Christopher Robin” is a title of a movie, it is in fact a movie,it’s a live action remake of Winnie the Pooh so if you like the many adventures of Winnie the Pooh, then you’ll love “Christopher Robin”.
Recommend the Tigger Movie and Piglets big movie. Such sweet stories that leave you feeling all happy inside
I know I’m late to this but my favorite joke from this movie is the Gopher repeatedly going “I’m not in the book” because he means he’s not in the phone book, so they can’t look him up, but also it’s a meta joke because Gopher literally isn’t in the book the movie is based on and was created for the movie. It’s just a cute little inside joke that I like a lot.
That's a good reference. Me, it's when he falls into his own hole
Yes, I agree about Tigger being the most fun. He was always my favorite character in the Winnie the Pooh series.
As for Rabbit, I used to think as a little kid he was this bossy, know-it-all, uptight character who just wasn't much fun. But as I got older, I began to realize more and more that Rabbit also had his own good points.
And just trying to get all of your hard grown vegetables harvested to survive the long winter ahead only to have this perpetually hyperactive bouncy tiger of a creature just pounce right on you and destroy it all, that has to be the epitome of frustration for Rabbit.
Winnie the pooh are great, for kids theyre innocent but for adults its comedy gold especially new one that came out before the christopher robin movie
Rabbit: Can you tie a knot?
Piglet: I cannot knot.
😂
@@leahtheanimationfan40 not knot?
@@ChanoCYBER9Avila Who's there?
@@leahtheanimationfan40 POOH!?!
A childhood classic! Not for excitement or for tear-jerking, but for just existing and exemplifying those long summer afternoons and evenings experienced by children. I haven't watched this one all the way through in a great number of years, but I've absolutely rewatched the Heffalumps and Woozles sequence for its surrealism and its eerie vibes. Whenever I see Winnie the Pooh animated, I'm _always_ reminded of the TV show The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, its theme song, and the burst of nostalgia serotonin that comes with it.
(Maybe that's how I forgot how low-key rude this Pooh in Many Adventures is lol)
This is my absolute favorite kids film! Reminds me of my childhood when I’d play outside all day and my stuffed animals meant more to me than just toys. This film and other Winnie the Pooh films are so good at capturing the innocence and joy of being a child!
Me and my sisters liked to imitate the moment with Gopher.
I wrote a cute fact about Roger Carel, the man who voiced Winnie, Coco Rabbit and Piglet in the french version
This movie will always hold a lot of magic for me. I watched the hell out of it as a kid, and even now as an adult I enjoy the simple charm of the stories. There have been additions to the story, but this original movie will forever be my favorite.
I'm glad you enjoyed this so much, this is in my top 5 favorite Disney movies! :)
Fun Fact: This is actually 3 shorts complied into a movie. The first part with Pooh looking for honey was called Winnie The Pooh and the Honey Tree, which released in 1966, and was the only one Walt Disney himself was alive for the release of.
The second one- Winnie The Pooh and the Blustery Day, was everything from the windy day up to Pooh's hero party. This released in 1968 and actually won an Oscar for Best Animated Short Film.
The 3rd and last one, released in 1974, was Winnie The Pooh and Tigger Too, which was all about Tigger's bouncing. :)
The narrator in this movie is Sebastian Cabot who has done voice overs in other Disney movies. He also appeared in my all time favourite time travel movie from 1960 known as The Time Machine which is always worth a watch.
You don't have to worry about the pain because all the animals, except Gopher, are stuffed animals. About Gopher, if he looks familiar for you, maybe it's because his design is based of the beaver in " The Lady and the Tramp ".
I have a very cute story about Roger Carel who voiced Winnie, Coco Rabbit and Piglet in the french version.
He was in a book signing when he heard a woman saying to her daughter whl he was but when the little girl looked at him, she didn't seems convince.
So, he said to her " Mais, tu ne me, tu ne me reconnais pas ? " (" But, you don't recognize me ? " in english) with Piglet's voice and after that she had a big smile and said to her grandmother she saw Piglet.
This movie really brings back a lot of good pleasant memories. Thanks for reacting to this movie, Nick. It really made my evening a lot better tonight.!
Thank you so much for doing this reaction! The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh is my comfort movie that I put on when I’m sick, or have really bad anxiety related insomnia. Love your reactions, and can’t wait for the next ones to come! ❤️
The voice of Pooh (Sterling Holloway) is also Kaa (the snake) in The Jungle Book, the mouse in the Aristocats and the Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland 😊 And the voice of Kanga (Barbra Luddy) is also the fairy Merryweather in Sleeping Beauty and Lady in Lady and the Tramp!
I absolutely adore this movie. Heffalumps and Woozles is probably my favorite sequence. I know the whole scene of Tigger being introduced and then the song by heart. Also, honey is my favorite food in the world so I've wished I could trade places with Pooh many times, even for an hour so I could eat honey and have friends to play with.
Ah! One of my favourite movies ever! It's so happy and fun and heartwarming and witty, but also bittersweet at the same time. I love it.
When i was 7, my big sister was have Winnie the Poo dvd and i was love them to react. Also i was collecting money to give myself A Piglet and Lampy plush toys for my 8. Birthday and they still in my toy box❤
Ooh Winnie the Pooh is one of my favorites!
If I could recommend a couple movies,
"Piglets Big Movie" and "The Tigger Movie" are also really good.
This is my go to movie when I'm sick, it's the ultimate comfort movie. Thanks for reacting!
Also, things dont really hurt the animals because they are Chistopher Robins stuffed animal toys. And thats also why Pooh could use a baloon to float. Hes very light despite being so round.
Before being a Disney thing, Winnie the pooh was a character in books and poems written by A.A. Milne.
A.A. Milne wrote down the many stories he told his child, all about his kid's stuffed animals and the many adventures they could go on. His son was named Christopher Robin Milne, and Christopher's favourite stuffed animal was his bear, named Winnie the pooh.
Me, it was " the Rescuers " and it's funny because the man who voiced Bernard in french is also the voice of Winnie, Coco Rabbit and Piglet.
If I remember well, only Gopher isn't a stuffed animal, no ?
@@a.g.demada5263 not sure. Gopher is an add on Disney did, but they never say whether he's a stuffed animal, just that he's "not in the book"
@@danisetsuko oh, it's for that he says he's not in the book. Thanks for the explanation
I actually completely forgot this movie existed! But seeing these scenes brings back SO many memories from when I used to watch this over and over again as a toddler. I can recall every part of the Heffalumps and Woozles song but I barely remember anything else lol. Thanks for reminding me this film existed! It's not amazing but it's got a nice cozy feel.
I loved watching Winnie the Pooh so so many times. I also watched so many other movies about Winnie the Pooh. I have all the characters as plushies and I still love them all dearly. I've read the book so many times. And here's a fun thing. When I was born my parents had bought me a plushie who waited for me and has always been with me everywhere. He's a huffelump, so I think that it's only fitting that I love Winnie the Pooh so much. Also our dog's called Piglet
I’m SO glad you reacted Nick. Pooh is my childhood bear 🥺 He’s been part of my childhood since I was a baby and I’m 22 now. I have a vintage bear I got at 15 and he’s up in my closet where he’s safe 💚
It's a cute story.
If you're interested, in the french version, Winnie, Coco Rabbit, and Piglet are voiced by the same guy
I don't know if you caught on to this so, just in case: the characters Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, Eeyore, Kanga, and Roo are, actually, all stuffed animals (they belong to Christopher Robin). That's why Eeyore's tail is attached by a little nail and it doesn't really hurt him. That's, also, why they always run to Christopher Robin for help. He's the closest thing they have to an authority figure, since this is basically his fantasy world. Rabbit, Owl, and Gopher are, actually, wild forest animals, which is why their designs are a little more realistic and don't have the stuffed animal stitching that characters like Pooh and Eeyore do. (The film kinda figures the older audience knows most of this 'cause the original A.A. Milne books are so famous/popular so, they don't put too heavy of an emphasis on spelling it out).
P.S. Piglet is actually supposed to be a boy (I heard you call him "she" a couple times). The man who voiced him, John Fiedler, had a very unique soft/high natural voice and, actually, sounded very similar to Piglet in real life, as well. It's funny, if you imagine what Piglet might look like as a real person... that's pretty much what John Fiedler looked like 😆(a gentle-looking little man with glasses).
The Winnie The Pooh movies were practically my whole childhood. I loved them so much
Thank you for doing this review - I love the Pooh stories very much. It’s also extra special for me because I had my own set of stuffed animals that I had “adventures” with when I was little. I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy this as much as many of us…but it helps to see it as the way a child views the world, rather than an adult
Favorite classic Whinny the Pooh image: Pooh with a "hunny pot" stuck in his nose. Makes me smile all the time. 😏💝🍯🐝🐻🤤
This was one of my favorites as a kid! I haven’t seen it in so long, thank you for this fun reaction!!
Sterling Holloway still is Pooh Bear to me, even after his death. There was just something about his voice that was pure kindness. I know Jim Cummings has voiced Pooh ever since Sterling passed, but when I stop to really think about it, it seems uncomfortable having someone else try and copy your voice - your REAL voice. Sterling really sounded like that.
Emma Thompson in Saving Mr. Banks - "A.A. Milne... WHAT have they done?" lol
I watched this movie a lot as a kid. Pooh is the most genuinely kind character. I seriously hope you watch Pooh’s Grand Adventure: The Search For Christopher Robin.
Edit: I actually might watch that movie after I watch this lol.
That movie rips your heart and stomps on it. NTM, how surprisingly how intense it is.
@@omegashark1837 Yeah, I don’t want to ruin it for Nick but there’s one scene that makes me cry. It’s a good film though and I love the overall message of the movie and it’s ability be both silly and heartfelt.
@@ravenm6443 If your referring to a certain song sequence, then yes. Gets me everytime….
@@omegashark1837 That’s definitely one of them. I was thinking of a different scene toward the end of the film.
@@ravenm6443 The film in general tugs at your heartstrings and leaves a lump in your throat. Makes it unique among it’s Winnie the Pooh contemporaries.
This was the first Winnie The Pooh. Movie o saw while I was in School.
Such a timeless classic, Tigger hands down has to be my favorite. Hoo hoo hoo hooooooo!
As the theme song says, the Hundred Acre Wood is Christopher Robin’s “land of make believe,” so Christopher Robin didn’t live there, but the world lived in him. I love this franchise so much. Tigger is my favorite. 🐅🧡
Except the 100 Acre Wood is real. It's known as Ashdown Forest in Sussex, England. The only thing imaginative is that CR gave sentience to his stuffed toys.
I never watched this movie, but I know the characters of course. I will say I have heard the songs at least and they are very nice. I really like the woozles and heffalumps song most of all.
Also it is okay Nick if you didn't quiet like Pooh, I can understand how this being your first exposure to Winnie the Pooh. It is quiet a different experience when you watch these characters of the first time rather than growing up with them. But also glad you gave this movie a try!
I admit it I'm 57 years old and I Love Winnie the pooh
This is classic!!! I even had the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh CD Rom computer game growing up! Winnie the Pooh is a classic for everyone and has the best movies!
Nick, you have to watch the other movies! Whether it's once a month or random, you NEED to watch the movies! They are wonderful and wholesome and just amazing!
This is one of my many favorite Disney franchises. Even though this movie is a compilation of three classic Winnie the Pooh short films.
This was my favorite as a child. The part where Rabbit draws on Pooh’s butt was Walt Disney’s favorite scene.
I love watching all these Pooh movies and TV shows as a kid. The one I used to watch the most was "The New adventures of Winnie the Pooh."
I don't know if you take suggestions or not but I would like to see you check out the Herbie movies starting with "The Love Bug"
Piglet even has his own movie same with Tigger
Hello everyone!!
Fun fact about the film, it's actually another package film consisting of 3 Winnie the Pooh featurettes, Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree (1966), Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day (1968), and Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too (1974)
Hands down, Tigger was my favorite character from that movie; he kills me when he randomly comes in and tackles the others lol
I love how the book is based off a real child and his animals. I had so many stuffed animals growing up and they all had names and personalities and this book and movie always made me feel like I had such support and love from my animals. What a clever parent.
"Is he really living alone in those woods without his parents?"
Nick. Those are his stuffed animals. These stories are his world of make-believe and the hundred acre wood is probably the area somewhere behind his house. You know how these stories all take place inside a book? His dad wrote the books. Christopher Robin was a real little boy once and his dad wrote these stories down for him.
Did you know that each character represents a form of a disability?
Winnie the Pooh; Eating disorder
Piglet: Anxiety
Eeyore: depression
Rabbit: OCD
Tigger: ADHD
Those are the ones I know so far, if anyone else remembers the others, let me know.
Owl- Dyslexia Short Term Memory Loss
Kanga-Social Anxiety Disorder
Roo-ASD(Autism)
Christopher Robin-Schizophrenia
(I forgot to add Owl also has Narcissistic Personality)
@@amandagrubbs3000 Thank you.
@@blackheartthedarklord6428 you’re very welcome
Winnie the Pooh was one of my favorites. I know some people who can't stand characters like Mickey the Mouse but can't say the same about Pooh
YOOOO this is my childhood right here. I'm glad you enjoyed it nick!! Honestly for me, nothing tops Winnie the pooh. An absolute masterpiece and an absolute classic
Winnie the Pooh is now technically public domain, as the original book was released in 1926, which all works from that year just became public domain this year. Disney still maintains rights to this particular adaptation though.
The music is so sweet! These characters remind me of Beatrix Potter’s characters
Winnie the Pooh was my childhood. Thanks very much for this reaction! 👍
This takes me back to my childhood! Sitting in my grandparents living room watching this movie along with the series and just sing along to the whimsical songs of poo and his friends. Tiger was my favorite character. You should really get your hands on the movie Christopher Robin which shows him all grown up it still has that beautiful charm we all remembered as little kids.
Edit: You're entitled to your opinion on winnie the pooh don't let anyone tell you otherwise
This movie is my sister’s favorite. And Pooh is a very adorable character, I won’t even lie.
Please do not make fun of me for this , but This little story happened at Christmas last year. On Christmas Day, I went to Magic Kingdom at Disney World in 2021 last year. At night, I rode the Winnie the Pooh ride in Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom, and after the ride, I went into the Winnie The Pooh gift shop, and I saw the cutest little Tigger toy I have ever seen, but the thing is I looked at the price and it costed about almost $40.00. The employees told me and my parents the reason why it costed so much was because they somehow lost a shipment of new toys. As a result, I ended up not buying the toy.
14:22 that is the same whistle of the 🦫 from lady and the tramp.
You were asking about Christopher Robin's parents. In the books, the narrator is his father. Author, A.A. Milne, wrote the books for his son, who was named Christopher Robin, and Pooh and friends were his toys (except for Rabbit and Owl).
And in _Welcome to Pooh Corner_ we kind of get to see what Disney's interpretation of A.A. Milne/Mr. Narrator would look like when they had Laurie Main portray him in-person and then introduce the adventures of Pooh & friends (performed as costumed characters) and even interact with the characters by way of the big story book he had. In _The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh_ (the 1990's animated series that originally got its start airing on ABC every Saturday before moving to the Disney Channel & later, Toon Disney) we got to see Mrs. Milne in animated form whenever she interacted with her son.
winnie the pooh meant so much to me as a child. me and my siblings owned a couple dvds and watched them frequently. i used to own clothes with winnie the pooh and the others on them. a duvet cover and a pillow cas too. the pillow case is still on my bed, actually.
The songs are wonderfully singable, no matter how long it has been since you saw the movie.
There was actually a full show with these characters during the Disney Saturday Morning Cartoon era. If you're interested I think it does a fantastic job expanding on all of these characters & relationships - Piglet's co-dependence, Pooh & Cristopher Robin's sorta backwards child-parental roles, whether gloomy Eeyore is depressed or just introverted, etc.
Yes! The actor who voiced Rabbit also voiced Archimedes in Sword in the Stone! Good ear.
26:28 Piglet's actually a boy. I know, the voice is so high...
Also, the actor John Fielder was one of the 12 Angry Men, fun fact! :)
I loved this when I was a kid! I knew that Pooh's voice was the same as Kaa from The Jungle Book but I just now realized that the narrator is the voice of Bagheera 🥰
Fun fact : in France, Kaa shares his voice actor with Winnie too but also with Piglet and Coco Rabbit and a lot of Disney characters
