The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh

"Disney's lovable, huggable bear is back in The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Presented in a 1.33:1 full frame presentation, this transfer appears to be a solid effort featuring dark black levels and bright animated colors. Aside of a small amount of grain in the image (which is very minimal), this is a striking reproduction of the original film. The soundtrack is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround in English, French, and Spanish. While there are a few directional effects to be found in this mix, overall the sound field is focused only in the front and center speakers. Also included on this disc are English subtitles. The extra features should give DVD fans a nice adventure themselves. Starting off the disc is the animated short Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eyore which is cute and should please small children. The 25-minute featurette ""Story Behind the Masterpiece"" is a look at the origins of the original characters. For the kids, there are a bundle of extra features, including a fun narrated game titled ""Hundred-Acre Wood Challenge,"" a cute music video by Carly Simon, a Disney story called ""Pooh's Shadow,"" and the Disney songbook title ""The Wonderful Thing about Tiggers."" Finally there are some fun pop-up facts about the film, an art gallery (still and video), and some sneak peeks at other Winnie the Pooh features and DVDs."
