Disney’s newest film provides the sweetest message: you are so much more than your gifts.
There’s nothing ado with Winnie the Pooh.
Disney’s Winnie the Pooh is a delightful little production following AA Milne’s beloved characters as they go about doing…well, they don’t do much at all.
As our characters confront mundane and innocuous situations, they come up with solutions with profound yet kid-friendly implications. Tigger and Piglet have a stick racing competition. Which stick won? The brown one! How to determine the winner then? Everyone wins! It’s philosophy for your five-year old.
Winnie and friends are voiced and brought to life by puppeteers. The movement of the puppets is limited, and it sometimes feels as if you are watching humans lug around giant stuffed animals. Initially, this was distracting, but eventually, I came to see just the characters on the stage.
The production is light on musical numbers, action and Christopher Robin’s presence, so children may have a tough time staying engaged by singing along, getting excited by the story of relating to their kid proxy on stage. But the meandering anthropomorphic animals are fun and whimsical enough they left nary a fidgeting kid in the audience.
Disney’s Winnie the Pooh is a great family outing with little kids, albeit for ones with a high degree of patience and appreciation for the simpler things in life.
In the recent times of Covid Isolation, the once incredibly simple world of children’s friendships has changed into anything but that. With the new world, it seems as if everything is virtual. Pixar’s newest animated film, Ron’s gone wrong, has arrived at the perfect time. Without even trying too, the film itself delves deep into this new narrative that kids today face. Ron’s Gone Wrong tells the story of Barney, a socially awkward middle-schooler and Ron, his new walking, talking, digitally-connected device, which is supposed to be his ‘Best Friend out of the Box.’ Ron’s hilarious malfunctions set against the backdrop of the social media age, launch them into an action-packed journey in which boy and robot come to terms with the wonderful messiness of true friendship. It’s a story that kids of all ages can enjoy, and the immersive animation style creates a beautiful cinematic experience that will touch the heart of any viewer. This idea was brought into action by an incredible team of artists and filmmakers who came together to bring this wonderful project to life. We had the opportunity to sit down with the team behind this amazing film to talk all about the impact of the film, the process, and everything in between. Check out our full conversation below!
