Our Review:
My kids love Winnie the Pooh and I do too! We received The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh to review and it was an instant hit in our household. One of the biggest reasons why I love Hundred Acre Wood characters is that they are all so innocent. I love that these characters see the world with loving hearts and kind souls.  They are never mean or nasty to one another. The stories might be silly, but each one of them have a good lesson that your child could learn from. Sometimes the story is about the importance of friendship and sometimes it is about forgiveness. My kids are always entertained by Winnie the Pooh and his friends. If your kids love Winnie the Pooh, this Blu-ray combo will be a wonderful addition to their Disney film collection. But another reason why I would recommend picking up the Blu-ray combo is for the 5 mini adventures of Winnie the Pooh shorts. We enjoyed every one of them, but my kids especially love "The Honey Song."

To buy the blu-ray combo we received to review, please visit your local stores where Disney DVDs and Blu-ray's are sold.
