Don't worry! This will be one of only two direct-to-video movies I will review.
Between 1997 and 2008, DisneyToon Studios, a division of the legendary Walt Disney Animation Studios, was forced to make countless (and pointless) direct-to-video sequels to classic animated Disney movies. However, as of January 2016, there are only ten movies from DisneyToons that were released theatrically in the US. Today's movie happens to be their first direct-to-video movie: Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search For Christopher Robin. It's the last day of summer, and Christopher Robin is concerned that his friendship with Pooh Bear won't be able to last forever. Tomorrow happens to be the first day of school for Christopher Robin, but he doesn't have the courage to tell the silly old bear. He simply tells Pooh that he is braver than he believes, smarter than he thinks, and stronger than he seems. However, because Pooh Bear's head is full of fluff, he doesn't seem to remember it all. The next day, it was the first day of autumn, and Pooh Bear finds a jar of honey on his front door with a note on it. Since Pooh Bear can only think about honey, he seeks the help of Owl. The note, smudged with honey, stated that Christopher Robin is going to school, but owl interprets it as skull, and sends Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit, and Eeyore on a dangerous adventure through the darkest parts of the Hundred Acre Wood. Pooh's Grand Adventure is different other movies starring the silly old bear because this movie is noticeably darker. There are many scenes in which the characters are in peril. However, that doesn't stop the movie from telling a heart-felt story the entire family can enjoy.
Rating: 3 1/2 stars out of 5
