Reviews

• Encyclopedia of the International Films: The Disney animated film was based on the " Winnie the Pooh " children's books by AA Milne and, with the small, always ailing of self- awareness and appreciation of friends seeking piggy piglet one of the lovable marginal figures in the center of the episodic plot. It is told in as child-friendly as congenial way of friendship and solidarity.
• Carsten disc wrote on stern.de: " Piglet's Big Movie " consists of several episodes that are held together by a frame story. This is good for small children because they can not follow a single story for so long. The stories themselves are told very quiet, very down to earth and absolutely not scary: nightmares arise here no.
• Susanna Low wrote in Der Tagesspiegel: Who Phew, Piglet and Christopher Robin from the stories and drawings of AA Milne knows she loves most probably for its bizarreness. At Disney, the small British eccentrics from the Hundred Acre Wood to pretty dumb fellows with permanent question mark in his voice be. [ ... ] On the whole, has come a very American story about friendship, tolerance, and other great values ​​. [ ... ] What is really strange, only the trailer, in which Carly Simon together with guitar standing in a meadow, the title song sings in English while smiling very wide. This can be addressed only to mom and dad. If the offspring do not besieged by the soundtrack, then perhaps affects the pop queen of the eighties of sale.
