I just got the DVD for my 2 and a half yr old daughter. She loves the silly Ole bear as much as I did as a kid. With all of the sequels to really great classic Disney movies, you would think that the newer pooh would be really awful. (see the book of Pooh for example), however there is not a huge difference between this title and the academy award winning short: Winnie The Pooh and the Blustery Day, which is a bonus feature on the DVD. Rabbits singing voice sounds a bit forced and squeaky, But this isn't American Idol. My daughter sits and watches this one instead of checking in on it while playing or getting into mischief. There are great quote lines, already listed in other reviews, and sight gags that make me laugh and keeps my kids grins and giggles going even in the scarier parts. I don't believe that even young kids will have trouble with nightmares. On the other hand I myself am a Stephen King reader and my daughter is used to seeing movies based on his works, She doesn't really watch with me but she comes in and out of the room without being scared. I guess I would be sure I knew my child and watch with them the first viewing or screen it yourself first if being lost in an unknown woods and strange monster growling (Poohs hungry for honey tummy) might scare them.
I just wish everyone at Disney would stay closer to Walts original vision. Hopefully The Search for Christopher Robin and Bambi 2 are signs of good things to come.
