Piglet's Big Movie is my second favorite Disney Pooh movie, right after The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. It was so refreshing to have direct adaptations of chapters straight out of the Milne book after the previous two films -- Pooh's Grand Adventure and The Tigger Movie -- went so far afield from the canon. Also, the Carly Simon soundtrack is plain wonderful, and I have it on regular rotation in my music mix slipping in between Metallica, Mozart, and Johnny Cash.

My fourth adaptation of Piglet's Big Movie by writer Jasmine Jones and the Disney Storybook Artists is a coloring book that still sorta kinda manages to tell the story in spite of its very terse sentences. My favorite: "Pooh is in danger! But Piglet appears and saves him -- hooray!" That sentence and revisiting my daughter's pitiful 3-year-old attempts at coloring rate a bonus star.

FOR REFERENCE:

The original film was directed by Francis Glebas, with a screenplay by Brian Hohlfeld, additional screenplay material by Ted Henning, and based on Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner by A. A. Milne. The film and its many adaptations contain a framing sequence around segments adapting A. A. Milne's:
• Winnie-the-Pooh Chapter 7. In Which Kanga and Baby Roo Come to the Forest, and Piglet Has a Bath
• Winnie-the-Pooh Chapter 8. In Which Christopher Robin Leads an Expotition to the North Pole
• The House at Pooh Corner Chapter 1. In Which A House Is Built at Pooh Corner for Eeyore.

(My Pooh Project: I love Winnie the Pooh, and so does my wife. Having a daughter gave us a chance to indoctrinate her into the cult by buying and reading her every Pooh book we came across. How many is that? I’m going to count them this year by reading and reviewing one every day and seeing which month I finally run out. Track my progress here:
