Critique
Preschoolers and parents can appreciate and enjoy these sweet, holiday themed tales. They’re sweet childhood tales about friendship, caring, loving others makes for a heart felt family favorite in my opinion. They also celebrate a respect for experience and wisdom and the importance of taking feelings and personalities into account. The bizarre complications that the group in counter only further emphasizes and puts attention to these common themes. A very heartfelt and tear-jerking experience also awaits by the end of the first part of the special. For those who have grown up watching or even the younger kids today, this movie is a great resonator. The themes and messages the movie convey are pure, lighthearted and friendly. Winnie the Pooh: A Very Merry Pooh Year is easily one of the better and more positive Christmas movies out there.
