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]

    A flimsy flashback-ridden tale about the importance of friendship, loyalty and the notion that size doesn't matter when it comes to tackling seemingly insurmountable issues.

    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.

    Piglet's Big Movie is a delightfully entertaining film for young children--showing them that even smallest person can be the big hero.

    All three [flashbacks] derive from A.A. Milne's original tales, but retain only a smidgen of his droll, easy-chair wit.

    Children from two to twelve will smile from the first frame to the last, as will parents filled with their own warm memories of Milne's creations.

    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.

    While young children are still likely to be entranced seeing their beloved characters up on the big screen, it never comes close to touching the child inside the grownups. And that's the real mistake.

    It's a cute film that continues the tradition of the Winnie the Pooh series with simple stories and simple animation.

    The repetition of the obvious moral, worthy though it is, will also strike the post-preschool as a bit cloying.

    I suggest you get out the books, which for once can truly be said to be more spectacular than the movie.

    Its simplicity and lack of motive makes Piglet's Big Movie succeed.
