Description
With charm and joy, and in the spirit of the holiday season, Disney presents WINNIE THE POOH: SEASONS OF GIVING -- a full-length adventure that celebrates family and friends and the true meaning of the holidays. The adventure begins once upon a cold and blustery day in the Hundred Acre Wood when Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and Rabbit set out on a quest for winter -- a favorite season they seem to have missed. And that leads to a wild search for the perfect ingredients for a festive Thanksgiving feast, and finally to Christmas, and a surprise visit from a special friend. Enriched with five songs new to video, these charming tales fill your heart with the wonder of the season and the whimsy that is Pooh. WINNIE THE POOH: SEASONS OF GIVING is a delightful way for your entire family to celebrate this enchanting time all season long.

Three marvelous cold-weather stories from Disney's popular Pooh television series are combined into one video. A slight error in judgment has led the gang in the 100Acre Wood into spring in "Groundpiglet Day." Rabbit's rushing about defeats the true purpose of the holidays in "A Winnie the Pooh Thanksgiving." Rabbit is also the center of "Find Her, Keep Her" when he adopts a wayward bird. Even though this is a new collection of cartoons, the 70-minute tape keeps closely to the spirit of the '60s Pooh classics (unlike previous Pooh cartoons). A new song from Disney songmasters the Sherman brothers is sung (along with their famous title number), and Paul Winchell returns as the unmistakable voice of Tigger. That's not the late Sterling Holloway voicing Pooh, but a remarkable impersonation by ace mimic Jim Cummings. (Ages 3 and up) --Doug Thomas

 It's Sweet September 18, 2008
My son really likes this Whinnie the Pooh story. It really is a sweet little Christmas story. I'm happy my son likes it. I, however, can not watch it as frequently as he does. It's cute the first time and maybe once a year, in my opinion. But they didn't make this movie for me.
 Winnie the Pooh - Seasons of Giving January 12, 2008
A great addition to the classic Winnie-the-Pooh series I grew up with! My 2 year old daughter LOVES Winnie-the-Pooh and this was no exception! This newer segment of the favorite are just as engaging and fun! It offers the same quiet presentation of life's lessons as the classic ones do. We both have watched this again and again!
 Winnie the Pooh - Season of Giving December 28, 2007
The kids, including neighbors, thoroughly enjoy this DVD, as do most of the parents. Or course, most of us adults are dedicated Pooh people, so we may be somewhat prejudiced.

This is another great DVD to add to your Thanksgiving AND Christmas video collection. It has a touch of both holidays in it. With the way Thanksgiving is pretty much forgotten these days, it is nice to have a few Thanksgiving themed holiday specials to watch. The transition from video to digital was very nice. No editing that I could tell between the versions. It is defintiely worth ordering!
I found it irritating. October 10, 2007

It's a little misleading to call this a "movie". It's actually one (or two?) features, one stuffed into the other. Newer footage leads into a "remember when...." segment, which is an older feature (different animation style - perhaps some different voices, or at least different recording quality).
Still, it's a sweet enough story and children probably wont mind the "old tv special stuffed into a new movie" package.
The problem I had with this movie is the voice of the little bird. ::shudder:: An adult trying to talk like a baby I guess... Lots of squeaky whining and mispronunciation of words as only an adult poorly imitating a toddler can do. Mind you, I like most of the sweet character voice acting of the Pooh movies. But this reminded me of someone talking baby-talk to their poodle. It was just irritating.
If watch movies over and over with your child(ren) the voice of the bird may well drive you batty.
If you're children have never seen a Pooh movie, skip this and try "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" or "Pooh's Heffalump Movie". Two family favorites in this house!
