    The Most Beautiful Story Ever

    What a beautiful movie! After seeing this movie, I guess I'll fall in love with Winnie the pooh much more than before.

    This story happens around World War I. But it isn't about war... it's about love between Lt. Harry Colebourn and his little bear Winnie which later became the inspiration for the famous "Winnie the Pooh" stories.

    I show my respect to Lt. Harry Colebourn, his fellow soldiers (especially Ian Macray) and Col.John Barret. Even though they were in the edge of war time, they did their best to take care of this little furry creature and kept love for her all the way.

    I strongly recommend this movie to those who have furry family members. Animals can teach you what true love is...
