Reviews for Piglet's Big Movie
Top CriticThere are sweet turns that make the journey worthwhile.
03/20/03
There's no villain, very little conflict, and practically no plot; it's appropriate for sensitive preschoolers and almost nobody else (except, perhaps, insomniacs).

...for Saturday afternoon viewing and to be shared with very young kids.
03/20/03
Has all the charm of cafeteria creamed spinach.

Piglet finally comes into his own in Disney's charming Piglet's Big Movie.
03/20/03
An improvement on the loud, un-A.A. Milne-like The Tigger Movie, mainly because it better captures the gentle, sampler-quilt world of the Hundred Acre Wood.
03/20/03
If you're a parent ... this isn't a bad 75-minute distraction for the little ones.
03/20/03
Not only appropriate for preschoolers, but it also has enough sophistication for older kids.

A wholly invested Carly Simon has written a half dozen songs for the latest Hundred Acre Woods adventure. "A Mother's Intuition" is a fun tune for Kanga and mothers everywhere while "With a Few Good Friends" is a real toe-tapper.

Although time considerations have forced screenwriter Brian Hohlfeld to strip away the subtle complexities of Milne’s plotting, he’s managed to retain the aching melancholy of animal characters whose persistent self-doubt has a human resonance.
03/19/03
All three [flashbacks] derive from A.A. Milne's original tales, but retain only a smidgen of his droll, easy-chair wit.
03/19/03
Forget about deadlines, taxes and politics: the most important things in the world are mom, cookies, crayons, and good friends. And the only thing that can hinder a day full of directionless play and bouncing around is a bath.
03/18/03
There's no story here, just a progression of too-cute adventures told in a complicated flashback structure that will probably bore and confuse the preschool target audience.
03/17/03
The bland script and songs ... are likely to have the little ones fidgeting.
03/17/03
A soft, cuddly, thoroughly inoffensive ode to friendship designed for the six-and-under set.
03/17/03
While nowhere near as captivating as ABC’s “The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh,” this is a pleasant enough family diversion.
