Winnie the Pooh and his loveable gang of friends are back in this Disney follow up to 2000's THE TIGGER MOVIE. This time around Pooh's smallest pal is given the star treatment in this sweet and touching adaptation of A. A.Milne's original short stories. Set to a lyrical and lighthearted soundtrack by Carly Simon, the adventure begins in the Hundred-Acre-Wood as the gang gets ready for the Honey Harvest. Much to his chagrin, Piglet (Voice of John Fiedler) is left out of the festivities because he is declared too small to help, so the unsung hero abandons his pals to wander the wood and think about his place, however small, in the world. Eventually Winnie (Voice of Jim Cummings), Tigger (also Cummings), Rabbit (Voice of Ken Sansom), Eeyore (Peter Cullen), Owl (Voice of Andre Stojka), and Christopher Robin (Voice of Tom Wheatley) realize that their friend is missing and set out to find him with the help of Piglet's "Book of Memories," a scrapbook of their adventures. As the gang searches for Piglet they relive their many adventures, told in flashbacks, and realize what an important part he has played in each of their lives. This sweet-tempered, feel-good adventure is full of empowering messages of self worth for children of all ages; Piglet proves that sometimes heroes can come in the tiniest of packages. [More]

Reviews
Pooh finally returns to his roots a heartwarmingly gentle tribute to Milne that's appropriate for even the youngest viewers.
Piglet’s Big Movie is what might be called second-rank Disney animation [but it] works, the kids will like it, and it provides a little escape from the news.
Unlike many feature length cartoons this one doesn't make any attempt to jazz up a classic tale with adult-friendly dialogue and plays strictly for kids. Most moppets should love the characters and incidents.
Its simplicity and lack of motive makes Piglet's Big Movie succeed.
It's a pleasure to let yourself feel no irony, no cynicism, nothing really but a sort of lulling contentment as you learn of the adventures had by a plucky little Piglet with a heart as big as anything.
Piglet's Big Movie is an agreeable, if fitfully entertaining, introduction to Milne's characters. But it's no substitute for going by the book.
It's a cute film that continues the tradition of the Winnie the Pooh series with simple stories and simple animation.
