This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

I have previously mentioned how much I love Winnie the Pooh. That rule holds up just as much with this movie. A Day For Eeyore was originally supposed to be included in The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh but was released on its own for some reason, but it's just as much of a classic and a childhood stable as The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. The story centers around Eeyore being in an exceptionally bad mood because everyone has forgotten his birthday. Pooh and the gang then decide to throw him a surprise party. I love everything about the film, but what I especially enjoy is the fact that Eeyore gets a chance to be in the limelight as he has some nice dry wit. The part that really sticks out, however, is the party itself. Although I immensely enjoy parties in general, I especially love surprise parties because it's a party when you don't expect it. The ever gloomy Eeyore most certainly didn't expect to have so much fun in store for him. Fun lovable movie that shows that even someone like Eeyore can be cheered up.

"Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore" is a 24-minute cartoon from over 30 years ago and the most known work by director Rob Reinert, if you don't count his minor contribution to "Mrs. Doubtfire". The Winnie Pooh cartoons got quite a bit of awards recognition, but this one here not really. And I think that's fine. The story is basically as follow: Eeyore has a clash with Tigger on his birthday and is even more depressed as usual. Pooh, Christopher Robin and the gang do their best to cheer him up and they have a birthday celebration. Tigger and Eeyore make up again. In terms of the story, this was maybe enough material for a third of the 24 minutes runtime. The rest was just filler stuff and neither memorable nor entertaining nor anything we have not seen in other Winnie the Pooh films already. As with these, it is again the case that the focus is on one of Pooh's friends. And, as in other WtP films, we hear the narrator interact with the characters at one point. I like Eeyore and it's a shame that he does not have a better movie dedicated to him. Not recommended.

A Day For Eeyore features only the original voices of Piglet and Tigger, replacing not only the familiar voices of Roo, Rabbit, Kanga, and Christopher Robin, but also the famous Sterling Holloway, the ORIGINAL and renowned voice of Winnie the Pooh. This short centers around the normally gloomy Eeyore, who's birthday has been forgotten by his peers. The storyline lends its attention to more mundane details in what seems to be a forced attempt to capture some of the original wonder and magic found in the first three short films. The animation is significantly inferior to that of the previous in the Winnie the Pooh classic collection and the dialogue is not the pithy banter I've come to recognize in the Winnie the Pooh franchise.The fourth storybook classic lacks direction and clarity, but is watchable for those who are simply looking for something to entertain the young ones. It should also be noted that the other characters (apart from Eeyore, who is naturally depressed) no longer possess the optimistic and confident qualities of the previous three films.Overall, I found this movie disappointing, pedantic, and patronizing. However, the bitterness of the aftertaste decreased minutely after each viewing.

This is a classic video that everyone should own. It shows true friendship when the friends make effort to make Eeyore's birthday cheerful. It is a great edition to the Pooh series. The animation is good, the voices are great, the illustrations and color are nice, and the story is entertaining and enjoyable. This video is based on two ideas from the original books by A.A Milne. It is based on a part where Pooh invents a game, and where Eeyore has a party. Out of the four Pooh movies,two, The Honey Tree, and Blustery Day are better than this. One, Tigger too, is not as good, but only by a little bit. This video is so much fun, that adults and kids will watch this over and over. It is great.
