Friendship and compassion provide a memorable Easter celebration in Springtime with Roo. Roo's excitement on Easter morning is boundless, but when he, Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and Eeyore arrive at Rabbit's door for the big Easter egg hunt, Rabbit seems to have forgotten Easter and proclaims it "Spring Cleaning Day" instead. A dispirited Pooh and his gang quickly rally and decide to surprise Rabbit by putting up his Easter decorations. Rabbit is not at all happy with their efforts and furiously declares that Easter is canceled. It turns out that everyone involved has been selfish in some degree by failing to consider the feelings and desires of one another. Can a little mutual understanding and caring salvage Easter for Roo, Rabbit, and the rest of the gang? (Ages 2 to 7) --Tami Horiuchi

Description

Disney's classic tradition of great storytelling continues with the all-new, full-length feature, WINNIE THE POOH: SPRINGTIME WITH ROO. This delightful tale stars all your friends including Winnie The Pooh and his little pal, Roo. Every year Rabbit plays Easter bunny. But not this year. No bunny means no hunny for Pooh, no Eastery egg hunt for Tigger, no basket for Piglet, no fluffy bunny ears for Eeyore -- and no fun for Roo. Rabbit expects them all to spring into action: scrubbing, dusting, sweeping, and mopping instead! But Roo's love and wisdom show Rabbit that special days are to be shared in special ways. Blooming with beloved characters, memorable songs, spirit, and hope, WINNIE THE POOH: SPRINGTIME WITH ROO will delight and inspire one and all every day of the year!

Roo's movie.......2007-01-12

What can you say, it is Pooh and friends, but this allows Roo to shine in the spotlight. We had bought this movie before, and it got broken, now that we have it again, it is watched alot, has taught her to see what she has heard about the workings of Easter

The most inessential holiday DVD ever.......2006-03-17

My 2 1/2 year-old son loves all things Pooh and I guess this is no exception. Unfortunately for him, he won't be watching it again. I don't understand why Disney decided to make an "Easter" DVD that had nothing to do with Easter. I mean they could have done a "springtime" DVD (as the show's title would imply) with their own made-up holiday, but that's not the case here. I imagine that non-Christian parents wouldn't want their kids watching anything having to do with Christian holidays, whereas Christian parents will likely be confused and disappointed by how this DVD repeatedly tries to explain "the true meaning of Easter" without ever even alluding to Christian doctrine. I certainly don't look to Disney for spiritual enlightenment, but neither do I expect from them such pointless and confusing children's fare. Please look to Heffalump, The Tigger Movie, or Piglet's Big Movie for more wholesome, innocent entertainment.

The disc could be used as a coaster.......2005-11-22

If there is justice in the universe, the ghost of A.A. Milne haunts Michael Eisner on a nightly basis for films like this one.

The plotline is almost indecipherable, and the references to "Easter" are absolutely pointless since what you have here is a determinedly secular film trying to dance around the meaning of a religious holiday.

At one point, Rabbit actually physically throws the other characters out of his house in a way that is almost violent. For anyone who has grown up loving what the Pooh stories were originally all about, this film is a new low.

Should be called Rabbit's worst nightmare.......2005-08-20

We rented this movie from Blockbuster. A part when rabbit's friends are missing was his worst nightmare

Should be Called Rabbit Ruins Easter.......2005-03-30

My daughter is 2 1/2 and we have been watching A very Merry Pooh Year since Christmas. We gave her this one for Easter and she completely forgot about the other one. It does involve Roo but mainly deals with Rabbit. Rabbit cancels Easter and declares it Spring Cleaning Day. It seems that the Easter before his preparations got ruined when everyone wouldn't follow his schedule. The others had fun without him and he was hurt. How could they enjoy Easter without him....the Easter ....Rabbit?? huh?. Roo is set on having an Easter egg hunt so Tigger and Roo try to convince Rabbit to change his mind. Only when the narrator steps in and shows him the future without his friends does he realize the err of his ways. So Scrooge....um, excuse me.....Rabbit hooks up the best easter egg hunt, Roo teaches him the importance of holidays and what good friends are made of and Rabbit gets crowned the Eater Bunny again. It's very colorful and sweet. It doesn't teach the real meaning of Easter but it's Winnie the Pooh. It's for young children. Reviewers should also consider that not everyone celebrates Easter. This is 60 minutes of learning that's sweet and engaging. My daughter hasn't seen a pooh flick that she didn't adore.
