The writing isn't very strong and the narrator on the included audio CD doesn't particularly shine, but this is a nice way to have adaptations of all four of the earliest theatrical movies under one cover.

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

A movie of one hour and 14 minutes condensed to a 28-page story with a 17-minute audio track. Needless to say, much nuance is lost. Still, it's my favorite movie of the bunch, and I'm happy for any excuse to be reminded of it and the Milne stories it adapts.

Piglet's Big Movie

My second favorite of the Pooh movies, it puts an original framing story around retelling of tales from the Milne canon.

Most of the illustrations used here were also used in 2003 in Piglet's Big Movie: A Read-Aloud Storybook, where they are credited to Mario Cortes, Toby Bluth, and the Disney Storybook Artists. The text of that adaptation, however, is different from the text used here. The original film was directed by Francis Glebas, with a screenplay by Brian Hohlfeld, additional screenplay material by Ted Henning, and based on Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner by A. A. Milne. The film and its many adaptations contain a framing sequence around segments adapting A. A. Milne's:
• Winnie-the-Pooh Chapter 7. In Which Kanga and Baby Roo Come to the Forest, and Piglet Has a Bath
• Winnie-the-Pooh Chapter 8. In Which Christopher Robin Leads an Expotition to the North Pole
• The House at Pooh Corner Chapter 1. In Which A House Is Built at Pooh Corner for Eeyore.

Pooh's Heffalump Movie

Coincidentally, this book is laid out in order from my favorite to my least, as this is my third favorite Pooh movie. It doesn't really adapt any major bits from the Milne books, but tells a nice story about prejudice as Roo finds a Heffalump friend despite everyone telling him how awful and scary they are.

The same pictures used here with new text, were previously used in Pooh's Heffalump Movie (Pictureback, 2005), with an adaptation by Laura Driscoll, where the illustrations were credited to the Disney Storybook Artists.

The Tigger Movie

My least favorite of the four movies collected here because it doesn't really have much connection to Milne's original books and the story of Tigger searching for his real family is weak and contradicts a century of him being the "only one."

There are several distinct adaptations of The Tigger Movie. Several of the adaptations like this one have different text for the story but use the same art (sometimes cropped and/or flipped) credited in The Tigger Movie (Disney's Songs & Story) (ISBN 0763406007) as "Illustrated by the storybook artists at Disney Publishing Creative Development" with art direction by David Braucher. The actual movie credits: directed by Jun Falkenstein; story by Eddie Guzelian; screenplay by Jun Falkenstein; based on characters by A. A. Milne. ( )
