The New York TimesStephen Holden
In the knockabout world of animated movies, Piglet's Big Movie is an oasis of gentleness and wit. Read full review

Boston GlobeTy Burr
If you've got some very small fry on your hands and 75 minutes to kill, this is as bright, colorful, and fuzzy as you're going to get. Read full review

Philadelphia InquirerGlenn Lovell
While it won't do much for those into cutting-edge computer animation, it won't disappoint parents looking for wholesome high-quality entertainment for preschoolers. Read full review

Chicago TribuneLoren King
With its welcome lessons on friendship and self-esteem, is not only appropriate for preschoolers, but it also has enough sophistication for older kids. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKevin Thomas
Parents may find their attention wandering, but the simple tale contains valuable life lessons for their youngest offspring, who will likely be enchanted. Read full review

Maybe not wonderful, but still pretty darn good. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyChuck Wilson
Charming, animated retelling of stories from A.A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh books. Read full review

Fine new chapter in the long-running franchise should score well with family audiences. Read full review

Sure it's slight, but also as cute as the curly tail on its tender protagonist. Read full review

Sort of feel-good lesson kids will enjoy and parents should welcome. Read full review

New York PostMegan Lehmann
When the world gets too big and scary, the Hundred Acre Wood remains a clearly delineated comfort zone. Read full review

New York Daily NewsElizabeth Weitzman
Built on the most basic (though quite charming) animation, songs and plots, the film does have an inescapably straight-to-video feel. Read full review

The A.V. ClubKeith Phipps
Though it's tough to find much fault with a film so sweet, Piglet's Big Movie never lives up to its title. Read full review

Seattle Post-IntelligencerPaula Nechak
Certainly kept the toddlers (including mine) at an advance screening engrossed, but for parents and reviewers, it was more of a struggle. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyScott Brown
A collection of shorts, here presented as flashbacks. All three derive from A.A. Milne's original tales, but retain only a smidgen of his droll, easy-chair wit. Read full review

USA TodayClaudia Puig
The movie feels more like a slightly longer episode of Disney's old "Winnie the Pooh" television series. Read full review

Dallas ObserverGregory Weinkauf
The movie features several political themes for adults and is mostly delightful for kids. Just consider yourself warned about the live-action Carly Simon video at its tail end. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Ray Conlogue
So it's a pretty faded experience. I suggest you get out the books, which for once can truly be said to be more spectacular than the movie. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineAngel Cohn
The original Carly Simon songs are well performed, but their soothing lullaby qualities may cause those with short attention spans to nod off. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleC.W. Nevius
This is harmless fun for the kindergarten crowd, but even they will notice that the "Blustery Day" video they've been playing at home is a lot better. Read full review

Enough. There's no fun in bashing a Piglet movie, even a nickel-cadging spinoff. Read full review

Indifferently scripted and shoddily animated feature. Read full review
