Winnie l'ourson dans le vent

Oscar-winning Winnie the Pooh cartoon is a wonderful piece of entertainment. The story starts out on a very windy day, where Piglet is blown around like a kite and poor owl has his tree knocked over. From there we meet Tigger, who sings the classic song "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers." Tigger warns Pooh that Heffalumps and Woozles love to steal honey. This leads to Pooh having a nightmare about them (and another wonderful song). Then it begins to rain, eventually flooding poor Piglet's home and it's up to his friends to save him. They really crammed a lot into this one but it flows together nicely.

Great animation, wonderful voicework, and some terrific songs make this a classic. Later made up part of the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh movie.

I always like Winnie The Pooh movies,but I really like the older Winnie The Pooh movies.I like the background art and the songs are great!I like the way the story goes because one thing leads to another. I would recommend this movie to children ages 5+ and I would recommend it for a family movie.This movie has the original voices of Winnie The Pooh and Tigger.It is a great film and it made me sing along and laugh.If you like Winnie The Pooh I would recommend this one! because it's full of fun adventures for the whole family to enjoy. It may be an older movie but it is a great one! Actually I prefer the older Winnie The Pooh movies,but I like all the Winnie The Pooh movies!

"Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day", the second of the Winnie the Pooh's shorts, introduces us the characters that were missing in the first one: Piglet (who becomes Pooh's best friend) and the very humorous and super-amusing Tigger.

It has all of the qualities already seen in the first one, including cheerful songs such as "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers", "Hip Hip Pooh-ray!" and "The Rain Rain Rain Came Down Down Down".

This one has a funny plot as well. In the first part of the story, Winnie the Pooh wishes a «Happy winds-day» to his friends (because it's a very windy day), starting with Piglet. The second part of the story takes place later, while Pooh's in bed and hears strange noises and decides to open the door anyway (after all, he's not the smartest bear in the world). This visit is... Tigger! Tigger is so funny! I love his remarkable personality, his sense of humor, his singing and his bounces! It's impossible not to like Tigger! During the third part of our story, there's a rain storm and a Hero Party that becomes a Two Hero Party, celebrated by Cristopher Robin and his pals.

The Owl is a character that loves to talk. Once he starts, he doesn't stop and he dislikes to be interrupted, although he is always polite.

The Gopher appears in this one too, but he's not in the book, you know. My favorite Piglet's line is «Oh, dear! Oh, d-d-d-dear-dear!».

My least favorite part is Pooh's dream about "hefalumps and woozels" trying to steal his honey. Nevertheless, it's bizarre, original and creative. I can't help but think of the "Pink Elephants" sequence from "Dumbo", because they're both so odd.

Initially I had doubts about the sex of Rabbit and Piglet because their voices sound somewhat feminine.

Well, T-T-F-N! Ta-ta for now! :D

Winnie the Pooh has always been a favorite of mine. The original stories are in the realm of the Mary Poppins stories, i.e., difficult to translate to film. In this instance, Disney has managed to transfer the charm of the Pooh stories intact to the screen. Winnie is simply adorable as an animated character, and Sterling Holloway gives him the perfect voice. All the other characters are voiced with perfection, too, especially Tigger, who makes his debut in this short film. Tigger almost steals the show from Pooh; when he's onscreen, you don't notice anything else. Sebastian Cabot adds just the right touch as the narrator.

The entire film has the feel of the pink elephant sequence in Dumbo; inspired, creative and unforgettable. During the storm, pages from the book blow away as the wind rises, rain washes text down the page and away into a stream, etc. Everyone should love this adaptation; Disney soon cranked Pooh out as a series, and it got tedious and sloppy. But this early effort is a real masterpiece.

Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day (1968)

*** 1/2 (out of 4)

Oscar-winning short from Disney has Pooh, Tigger, Piglet and the rest of the gang being forced to leave their homes after a storm with heavy rainfall comes through. I'll admit right up front that I'm really not that big of a Pooh fan. I didn't care too much for him as a kid and my tolerance level hasn't grown much more in the three decades that followed. With that said, I think even a person who hates Pooh would still find this film to be a winner simply because of the imagination that's on full display. The greatest sequence in the entire film happens during a dream sequence where the term psychedelic would certainly fit. The song is a very good once but the wonderful use of colors is what really makes this sequence jump off the screen. There are also some very funny bits to be found in the film including one inside Owl's house where everyone keeps sliding around the place. The animation quality is certainly very high but that's exactly what you expect when it comes to Disney. Fans of Pooh will certainly love this film but even those non-fans should be entertained.
