Piglet's Big Movie Review:


After not being involved in Pooh’s latest plan to get even more honey because he is too small, Piglet starts to question if his friends really need him. When he goes off to collect his thoughts, Pooh, Rabbit, Tigger and Eeyore realise that Piglet has gone and using his picture diary, they set off on an adventure to find their missing friends, recounting Piglet’s best stories along the way.

A. A. Milne’s classic characters return in another Disney sequel but the difference is that they have put abit of effort into this one.

Much like The Tigger Movie before it, Piglet’s Big Movie is a collection of adventures and songs (by Carly Simon) that young children will enjoy and adult will reminisce about. There is much to enjoy here for the younger audience, as the characters are as lovable as ever. Everyone is here from Pooh to Roo, all the lovable bunch still have the same look and voices that all of us have grown up with.

Pooh, Rabbit, Eeyore and Tigger travel the Hundred Acre Wood looking for their friend recounting all of Piglet’s best adventures, each one a story in itself. Here we learn about when Kanger and Roo moved in, Eeyore’s House, the expedition to the North Pole and much more. With an underlying story of fitting in when you are different, in this case small, the movie has a lot to say about realising what you and other have to offer, which is a good message for any age group.

Disney has made more effort with this sequel than it has with many of its other continuations. It feels less of a cash in as there is a story and a respect for the characters which is more evident in this movie that any of there other animations.

Piglet’s Big Movie is a film that youngsters will love and parents will remember. Now where is that Honey?
