if you have a toddler and you are planning a Easter egg hunt, than this film will probably appeal to you. i like Easter (after all it is basically a religious holiday), but i'm not that into the whole toddler babyish thing, so i kind of prefer my kiddie movies to have a little more bite than this pacifying baby food mush. still, the animation was the usual top-notch quality you expect from Disney, even for the direct to DVD features.

i thought Jimmy Bennet was good as Roo. i'm not saying it was some kind of Oscar worthy performance, but he was pretty good at sustaining the character for a full length role. something that must have been a little challenging since Roo is usually delegated to a one dimensional supporting role in most of the 'Pooh' films and features.

my main problem with the 'Disneyized" Pooh, is that Disney has sort of run the whole 'Pooh' franchise into the ground and turned into something so commercial you can barley recognize it as the once gentle Hundred Acre Woods. now it seems like a bunch of loud mouthed self promotion half the time.

this was a good entertainment for little kids at Easter and possibly for adults who don't have anything better to do on Easter morning and want to get in a holiday mood. otherwise, besides expert animation, the "baby factor" is through the roof on this stuff.

I can't believe that Disney found it necessary to even think of making this film! I love Winnie the Pooh and I love watching most of his films but I can safely say that this one is unbearable! Rabbit hates Easter and becomes emotionally saddened about it for a very pointless reason - because he felt left out when everyone else was having fun! The narrator is more of one of the supporting characters and just like everyone else, he acts like a total idiot. Also, I can't believe people make far too big a deal of "Rabbit's Rubbish Reason" as I call it. Why can't they just say "oh, Rabbit, surely you're not getting into a state over just that! Snap out of it, pal!" instead of "oh, dear, you are unhappy, aren't you? We honestly didn't mean to hurt your feelings, Rabbit. We just wanted Roo to be happy on his first Easter." At the end of the film we see Rabbit singing the insufferable song "Cos what I like most about Easter" and then gives Roo a hug, Tigger cries emotionally at that touching, tearful moment that'll touch the hearts of all that see it - (blowing a raspberry) uh, yeah right!!! Honest to GOD! What's so emotionally moving about having a hug? And, also, what's so tear-jerking about singing that stupid song? About two years ago mum got it on video from Safeway and I only saw it once. I don't know where it is now and quite frankly I don't care! "Winnie the Pooh: Springtime with Roo" is a very cheap, poor film that is a real waste of time.
