![Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree [VHS]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71f-HPah62L._AC_SL3840_.jpg)





The homogenized Disney version of Pooh Bear is so firmly established by now that it has virtually supplanted the classic A.A. Milne/Ernest Shephard renditions of the Hundred Acre Wood characters, introduced in a series of British children's books first published in the 1920s. This initial installment won director Wolfgang Reitherman ( The Jungle Book ) a 1966 Oscar for Best Animated Short Film, and at the time the prize seemed a bad joke, a self-administered pat on the back for deflavorized commercial kid-culture. The Disneyfication of the planet has progressed to the point that this early, gentle, tuneful outing looks pretty benign, almost a beloved artifact in its own right. The sickly songs by Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman ( Mary Poppins ) qualify as camp classics. The inimitable growly tones of Sterling Holloway, as Pooh, are a definite asset, although the melancholy donkey Eeyore (voice by Ralph Wright, who also wrote the screenplay) is probably the most successful page-to-screen translation, lugubrious and droll at the same time. --David Chute Review: great product - great product, fast delivery, exactly as described thanks Review: So Very Cute - This Winnie movie was spell binding for my great-grandson.

5 Stars for Pooh Bear
This is a classic I wish Disney would release on DVD. When he was 2 my son watched this classic repeatedly in 1983, now we can watch my 2 year old grandson express delite in the antics of Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree...he even has a "Poor Bear" that travels with him in the car.

Couldnโt have asked for a better item
The nostalgia behind this set is enough to love it! Then to add the beautiful box it comes in is what makes this gift perfect for a fan!

2 Classics, 2 Not So Classics.
Of the four movies, two, "Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day" and "Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree", are real winners. If your child (like mine) loves music, get ready to watch these over and over. During all of "Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore" and "Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too", my daughter kept waiting for the characters to sing. Other than "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers", there is not a song in either of them and, be warned that the voice of Pooh in "...Day for Eeyore" is different from the one in the other videos (which you might have to explain). Despite the lack of musical numbers, the movies are still good, especially the one in which Pooh and friends put themselves out to try to make Eeyore's birthday cheerful.

Honey Tree
We received the tape quicker than we expected. The condition was very good. We were concerned about ordering used, but were very glad we did.

I shall fly like a bee! Up to the honey tree! See?
This is a lovable mini-classic, and a must have. The music is enjoyable, and the storyline is good. I even remember a lot of the lines in this.

They sat so quietly and loved the whole thing
I remember taking the children to see this at the theatre when they were very young. They sat so quietly and loved the whole thing. This is my second copy as the first one is broken. The kids are 20 now, but nothing beats Winnie!!!
