Piglet's Big Movie (2003)


Buena Vista Pictures
Directed by Franis Glebas
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Walt Disney)

Piglet, feeling ignored and unappreciated by his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood, wanders away by himself into the wilderness. Once they discover he is missing, his friends use a scrapbook to look for clues to where to find him. It brings back memories which provide several asides during their search. Eventually they realize how much Piglet has done for them, but argue over the scrapbook. An approaching storm blows the book into a river and they desperately try to retrieve it, at which point Piglet arrives to help. The third Disney animated film based on A. A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh characters is a feel-good affair, but struggles to overcome an episodic structure. Songs by Carly Simon are simple and exuberant, but unobtrusive, adding greatly to the enjoyment.
