Pooh Returns To The Hundred Acre Woods

This is a rather pleasant article from the NY Times on the evolution of Disney's version of Winnie the Pooh, commemorating in the release of the movie this past weekend. There certainly is a more in-depth look at the "philosophy" behind decision to give this new film a more nostalgic feel to it.

Stephen J. Anderson and Don Hall, the directors of the new movie, said they labored to distill the characters to what made them superstars in the first place. “A touch of cynicism is certainly prominent in movies today, and we were adamant that absolutely none of that could creep in,” said Mr. Anderson.

Mr. Hall added, “People want these characters to be who they are and not grow and change, which is a real difference.”

 I'd probably see the new Pooh movie this coming weekend and will have more to say about it after that.
