Pooh's Heffalump Movie (DVD, 2006)

Okay, I must admit, I bought this on a whim. I was a member of one of those DVD clubs and needed a couple of DVD's to fulfill my commitment. My toddler had Winnie the Pooh books, and as nothing else stood out - I bought this!
WOW!!! Am I glad I did. This has become a true favorite and not only does my toddler get the pleasure of watching this, but I get the joy of watching her reactions, and nothing can beat seeing her jump up and down screaming with happiness as 'Lumpy's' mommy turns up!!
With a running time of just over an hour, this is not the longest movie, but certainly the right length for a toddler; in fact the time frame of this movie is probably why children are so engaged from start to finish!
It features all the classic Pooh characters, besides our main character we find Tigger, Roo and Rabbit. But more than the old favorites, it is also heartwarming - a story of friendship and is certainly joyful. However it also sends a message - teaching us not to judge others and jump to the wrong conclusion. Prejudice is wrong and this movie certainly, in its innocent and child appropriate ways reminds us of that!
As an extra bonus we have the additonal features of the DVD, one of which includes a game of hide and seek where you can use your remote to help your child find Roo and Lumpy! The game is a lot of fun and even though, after a few plays, the answers start repeating, toddlers will still find this feature endearing!
Well worth purchasing!

I love that this dvd is still for the most part in the old style and has the softer gentler drawings that are so reminiscent of my childhood. The characters are less "in your face" and even "Lumpy", the infamous elephant (Heffalump) is less annoying, and does not speak with that awful accent, nothing personal just a reflection of what I think an elephant would sound like. Also, the movie includes an entertaining part at the end explaining what the producers/artists were trying to capture when making this movie in such a cute way that you cant help but love this dvd and hope that I am able to find one with its same value/content! My son and I also got a glimpse of a "Halloween" (Winnie the Pooh) that he couldnt stop talking about, hopefully its just as good.

This is a cute Winnie the Pooh story about the creatures of the hundred acre woods adventure to catch a mean and horrible Heffalump. Roo and eventually all find out the Heffalump are not big and horrible but rather fun and playful! A great story about learing to accept others and challenging streo-types and rumors.

Highly recommend for young child!

My two year old to totally enchanted with Pooh, Roo, Lumpy and the rest of the hundred acre woods friends. The music by Carly Simon is great. Wholesome entertainment.

Excellent movie, great story line and teaches a good lesson. Winnie the Pooh has always had a good story line, but, for me this was one of the best. I had not seen this particular movie when I bought it for my grandson. He was enthralled from the moment we turned it on. He is young but understood the moral of the story. I would recommend this to anyone who has small children.
