Frankenpooh
A spooky theme runs through several stories in this collection. "The Monster Frankenpooh" finds Dr. Von Tigger turning Pooh into a somewhat familiar-looking, scary creature. "Things That Go Piglet in the Night" features the characters on a ghost chase, and "Pooh Moon" finds Pooh and Piglet searching for honey while everyone else assumes they're missing--not just missing, but taken by the Grabme Gotcha. Charming visuals, terrific characters, touching stories. A winner.
Spookable Pooh
It's a rainy day, and Pooh and his friends are spending it in Christopher Robin's attic. Two stories from the delightful animated series follow: "A Knight to Remember," which finds the timid Piglet transported to a magical kingdom, where he fights a dreadful dragon, and "Rock-a-Bye Pooh Bear," in which Piglet has a nightmare and is afraid to go back to sleep. That leaves it up to Pooh, Rabbit, and Tigger to show how bad dreams don't have to come true. As always in the Pooh series, the animation is better than average for TV/video (and even charmingly quaint), and the characters are great fun to be with. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews:

Wonderful tape.......2007-06-11

My son loves this tape - he watches it over and over. These older Winnie the Pooh stories are great. They don't have the intensity of the newer movies - which is just right for young children.

I Like Winnie the Pooh, But..........2003-05-18

...do they realize how much they're charging for a one hour DVD?

My daughter would give this 5 Stars.......2002-10-12

I would give it 2 stars, so we met in the middle. My 35 month old loves this movie, but it drives me crazy. She wants to watch it all the time. I wouldn't mind if it was like the real Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, but it is just a bunch of silly stories. I wish they had come up with some new Pooh storied for this DVD, but they just put 5 older ones . There also needs to be more bonus features. Oh well! Maybe next year

Spooked a 2-year Old.......2002-09-23

When this DVD was first watched, the adults in our household thought that these Winnie the Pooh stories did a very good job introducing ghosts to the 23 1/2 month old in the house. However, in recent days we have decided to hide this movie because it has caused the 23 1/2 month old to worry about ghosts now, even though we told her and she agrees with us verbally that ghosts are not real. This little girl is an avid movie watcher and has an amazing concentration level when it comes to watching them. Unfortunately she has internalized this one and now will not go to bed in her room at night alone. And she has never had a problem going to bed before. Parents beware of this DVD, just because it is Pooh does not mean it is totally harmless to impressionable little minds.

Overall Good.......2002-09-13

3 and a half stars. Ok the good stuff: This has nothing really scary at all in it, so its pretty good for very young kids. Its also Pooh, so its just plain fun to watch. Tigger is hilarious! The few things I was disappointed with were the length, around 60 minutes for both programs(5 shorts in total), and the box said 70, and it should have had "Boo to You Too" to make it even more 'halloweenish'.
My favorite was "Frankenpooh", but it was only 5 minutes long! "Things that go Piglet in the Night" is about piglet being mistaken for a ghost, its very funny. In "Pooh Moon", the gang mistakes eachother for monsters (the GrabMe Gotchas!), also pretty funny. "Knight to Remember" had piglet imagining he is a knight and has to be brave and slay a dragon, its a cute story that kids will really enjoy! and "Rock a Bye Pooh" Piglet has a nightmare (not very scary) so won't fall asleep, its really sweet because Pooh, Rabbit and Tigger are really good friends and try to help Piglet get over his nightmare. Also the bonus features (a game and a fun sing along song) aren't really to do with this DVD, but with "Boo To You Too", which I think should have been included on the DVD to make it a complete Halloween collection.
