Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

"Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore" is a 24-minute cartoon from over 30 years ago and the most known work by director Rob Reinert, if you don't count his minor contribution to "Mrs. Doubtfire". The Winnie Pooh cartoons got quite a bit of awards recognition, but this one here not really. And I think that's fine. The story is basically as follow: Eeyore has a clash with Tigger on his birthday and is even more depressed as usual. Pooh, Christopher Robin and the gang do their best to cheer him up and they have a birthday celebration. Tigger and Eeyore make up again. In terms of the story, this was maybe enough material for a third of the 24 minutes runtime. The rest was just filler stuff and neither memorable nor entertaining nor anything we have not seen in other Winnie the Pooh films already. As with these, it is again the case that the focus is on one of Pooh's friends. And, as in other WtP films, we hear the narrator interact with the characters at one point. I like Eeyore and it's a shame that he does not have a better movie dedicated to him. Not recommended.

"Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore" isn't as good as the 3 earlier shorts but it's still likable.The picture quality of this short is slightly inferior comparing to the earlier ones and that is part of the reason why it isn't as good.Another reason is because most of the cast is different. Unfortunately we have no longer Sebastian Cabot, Junius Matthews, Barbara Luddy and Sterling Holloway. On the other hand, luckily we still have Ralph Wright, Paul Winchell, John Fiedler and Hal Smith in this short - and that's a good sign. Jim Cummings does a decent job as the voice of Winnie the Pooh, but Sterling Holloway was better.This short is mostly dedicated to the gloomy donkey Eeyore.However, he is feeling more miserable than ever for two reasons. First, because Tigger bounced him and accidentally threw him into a river. And second, because it's his birthday and nobody remembered that, which causes Eeyore to believe that nobody cares about him.In a try to help Eeyore getting off the river, Winnie the Pooh accidentally throws a rock to his belly, nearly causing poor Eeyore to drown.When Pooh finally finds out that today is Eeyore's birthday, he decides to give him a jar of honey as a present, while Piglet decides to give him a balloon. But accidentally Pooh eats the honey and Piglet breaks the balloon after falling.Surprisingly, Eeyore enjoys the empty jar and the broken balloon. Another surprise is that Eeyore smiles. We never see him smiling.In the meantime, Cristopher Robin returns and they all celebrate Eeyore's birthday with a new game named "Pooh Sticks". Of course that Tigger says "That's what Tiggers do best" and then he contradicts himself."Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore" is still a very enjoyable experience and luckily it is available as an extra in the 25th Anniversary Edition DVD of "The Many Adventures of Winie the Pooh".These Winnie the Pooh's shorts/stories are also a great way to learn and see how valuable friendship is.

This is the last of the four Winnie the Pooh featurettes. It's not as good as the first three, but it is still enjoyable. One reason I'll tell you why it it not as good as the others is because almost the whole cast is different. But John Fiedler and Paul Winchell still gave their original voices to Piglet and Tigger which is a good thing. This film really focuses on Eeyore by the way. The music is really good too, and it really sets to the tone of Eeyore. So if you haven't seen this or the others yet, you're in for a treat. So please watch it for me and tell us how you like it.P.S. Try playing Pooh-sticks yourself.

Kids will love this Winnie the Pooh story about friendship. I must say I was entertained as well. Pooh is not the smartest bear in the world and Eeyore who is not the fastest donkey in the world made me even laugh a couple of times.'Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore' is an animated short movie for the whole family to enjoy!
