Piglet's Big Movie is a sweet children's movie, though I don't think it is as good as the Tigger Movie. There are flaws with the movie, the characters due to the voice actors changing have drastically changed, Rabbit especially. The plot is a little unfocused, it is nice that adorable Piglet has his own movie, but only the last quarter of or so of the film was dedicated completely to Piglet, there were parts when it was suggestive of an extended TV episode. And it is rather short, so the limitations in script and plot are glaring sadly. However, the voice acting is very good, Jim Cummings is marvellous as Tigger and Pooh, and John Fiedler voices Piglet beautifully. The art work, while not as good as the animation in the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, is still decent, and the songs by Carly Simon, especially the stirring Sing Ho For the Life of the Bear are surprisingly memorable. All in all, sweet. 7/10 Bethany Cox

Yeah i know its pooh story for children but the story is good

I saw the Disney's animated pooh stories as a child. Now I am old enough to have my own kids (I'm 24) and I'm so glad Disney has continued to make such lovely kiddy movies. There's really nothing to dislike when it comes to choosing something sweet, innocent and good for children.

the song are fun.

However! as an animation nut I am afraid it is a let down for an adult audience, fans or otherwise. As this movie is not really a movie at all but a series of short stories revolving around piglet. Still kids won't care. And the songs are nice. The animation is not improved from the TV series, but that's OK as its nice anyway. And little kids again won't CARE about movie quality animation. And that's what people need to realize. This is made for CHILDREN and not adults like so many movies are nowadays. Gone are the purely INNOCENT movie of our heydays. Like Dumbo and Bambi.

fans will smile, if your not a fan don't bother...simple as that really

This movie has captivated not only my almost three-year-old's attention, but the hearts of our entire family! This movie is sweet, charming, and chock-full of reminders of how we should value and treat our precious friendships! Being the "tiny voice" in the group, Piglet and his kindnesses are often overlooked, leaving him feeling alone and insignificant...how many of us can relate to that, especially our children?! Piglet's friends reminisce and slowly figure out that their precious friend is a priceless treasure! I know my children have thought twice about how they are treating their friends after having seen this movie! The very best part is the music! Carly Simon has written the sweetest lyrics and melodies that my three-year-old insists I sing to him before bed each night. Songs include, "A Few Good Friends", "A Mother's Intuition", and Simon's own, softer version of Pooh's theme song.

Don't miss this delightfully enchanting film...you'll be "singing" its praises too!!

It's really good to see Piglet's own film but to be honest, it's a little bit boring. While I was watching it, I fell asleep in the middle. But the end is a little better.

The reason why I fell asleep might be because I watched this 2003 made animation in 2022 and I'm an adult. If I watched it sooner, I might feel different.

Even though I felt it was a little bit boring but I'm sure that kids will enjoy it because this film is more like kids' taste rather than adults'.

Previous comments have already covered that this movie basically recycles old Winnie The Pooh stories (including the original book) - the little kids may not care but don't the authors owe more to the fans of the series and actually produce a decent screenplay? What I enjoyed about the series from the late 80s and early 90s is that it was, in large part, accessible for both adults and children. They were cute but rather intelligent.

This movie borders on the sadistic at times - such as the scene where Kanga puts Piglet through the ordeal of giving him a bath, while perfectly knowing that he is Roo. Now, I realize that this is yet another recycled story but the way it is handled resembles something from the Animaniacs. The writers basically said 'let's make something that'll make the kiddies laugh before they are old enough to realize it is not funny.' There is no sensitivity or creativity shown whatsoever.

My advice to parents - buy Milne's book or, if you are desperately looking for a rental, get your kid a Miyazaki.

I took a 5 year old to this and she liked the songs, she said but she wiggled and squirmed the whole time because the film drags along going over former tales about the friends of piglet. Cute but for 5 and under for sure.

It's a wonderful film for children and adults bringing together all the various Winnie the Pooh stories. Piglet's Big Movie gives you insight into many of the Pooh Bear characters. Having seen this film, I find that reading the Pooh Bear stories is more interesting. The characters now seem to have more depth and the various personalities shine through. It's sincere and funny and there is plenty of action. You can sing along with many of the songs (and learn them if you let the subtitles run with the film). We have watched it over and over again. We keep coming back to this film because it has the most entertaining elements for the Pooh series. The film is well made and the animation is tops. The film pulls together all the elements of Winnie the Pooh. You have to love it!

I bought this movie on DVD as a present for my 3 year old nephew. What a disappointment it turned out to be. He got up and went to do some painting after about 15 minutes and I can't say I blame him. This movie just regurgitates all the old Pooh stories and is not really about Piglet at all. What a total waste of time and a complete rip off by Disney.

If you want to see an animated feature that is entertaining for kids and adults then see Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc or Shrek instead. Avoid this one like the plague!

Cute for children, but adults may find themselves checking their watches. Our family enjoyed it. Our 9-year-old got very sad at the middle and near the end of the movie. As a family film, it still got a thumbs up from us. The songs by Carly Simon were very enjoyable. My son especially liked it when Pooh changed the end of the "House at Pooh Corner" story.

Having had some success with 'The Tigger Movie' previously, it's no surprise that Disney then tried to repeat the trick with a film centred on Piglet.

It's not as strong as the previously mentioned film, but passes the time.

This was one of my favourite movies as a kid, I was 9/10 when it came out, and with Piglet being my favourite, I was so excited that Piglet was getting his very own movie. I think Piglets Big Movie is one of the best movies in the Winnie the Pooh series, it's funny and perfect for all ages, I still love it 17 years later. It was also wonderful to have John Fielder play Piglet once again as he was the original voice.

I have read a few reviews saying the soundtrack is great. They are perfectly entitled to their opinion. I am entitled to mine as well. The soundtrack, excluding the vocals, is fine. The guitar playing is enjoyable at times. The vocalist, no disrespect, should not sing professionally. Her voice grates at my ears. I cringe when she slides up notes that are often too high for her. I thought it couldn't get worse but then the credits rolled. Instead of a fun montage of the characters in the story, they have this weird live music video of one of the horrible songs from the show. It's so bizarre.

As for the movie itself, it's just ok. The music completely detracted from the movie.

All the childish humor and genuine kindness at the core of this world has been swallowed up by ingenuous storytelling and sappy sentimentality. And before you say I'm taking it too seriously, you should know that I think the 1970s original is a straight-up masterpiece, and I hold these against that scrutiny. So back off.

"Piglet's Big Movie" seems to be another Disney sequel treated with total disrespect and disregard, only this time, it's not straight to video - it's in the theaters. Tigger had his own movie a few years ago (which was a joyful movie filled with a fair amount of humor), so with the success of that film Disney has decided to target a brand new film specifically at Piglet fans, though fans of the classic Piglet may be disappointed, as the new voice of Piglet sounds wholly different, and his size has decreased significantly (he used to be about half the size of Winnie the Pooh, now he's about the size of Pooh's paw).

I've personally always hated Piglet. Pooh's had his own children's book series, his own short films from the mid-sixties, a cartoon series in the nineties, and a complete franchise built upon him. No one can complain he hasn't had his turn in the spotlight. Tigger is the most widely-loved character from the series (and I agree), and so he has had his own movie and is featured in many merchandise tie-ins. None of the other characters have had their own films until now. Quite honestly, many people favor Eeyore over Piglet, and so the next film will probably be "Eeyore's Big Adventure" or something. The question is whether we need films based soley upon characters who were never meant to be totally expanded upon in the first place.

"Piglet's Big Movie" starts off in the Hundred Acre Wood. Winnie the Pooh (voice of Jim Cummings), Tigger (also Cummings), et al, are working on something and exclude Piglet because he is too small. Piglet, feeling ignored, runs away from home. It is then that the gang reflect on many different adventures they had in which Piglet paid major parts of (although Piglet's feats in "Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin" are left unexplored, as that would be ripping off an audience even more than they already are being ripped off).

I realize "Piglet's Big Movie" is for children, and in that respect I don't blame Disney for making it. But it is so obvious this film had no thought put into it that it hurts. First off, I watched it with children and they hated it. Second, I know that there are a lot of Piglet fans out there (mainly women) who absolutely adore the character, who wear pirated shirts with irons of Piglet stained on them, and by making this crap they're hurting their chances at respect from big-time fans.

There isn't any wonder in this film, there isn't anything fresh, to say it is a film entirely about Piglet and his Big Movie is lying. This is a rip-off cash-in that Disney has crafted just to make some extra cash through Piglet fans. They're hurting children and fans alike by making this trash. Midway through this cartoon adventure, a seven-year-old I was watching the movie with said, "This is stupid." She then advised a friend, "Whatever you do, don't buy 'Piglet's Big Movie,' it's stupid." If a seven-year-old has enough cinematic taste to realize "Piglet's Big Movie" is a rip-off, Disney may have to remarket their strategy - kids aren't as stupid and devoid of cinematic taste, it seems, as they think.

2/5 stars -

This film is a major milestone in my life. Not for it's cinematic credentials, but because this was the first time my 2 year old daughter Iris came to the cinema with me.

Well she loved it, and it kept her entertained for 75 minutes. As an adult it was adequate, not that sickly and buzzed along at a decent pace.

Trying to prove that he really can be helpful, Piglet goes missing in the Hundred Acre Wood, which prompts his friends to go look for him. While searching, they realize they have taken Piglet for granted.

The first highlight of this film is that we get to see many of the A.A. Milne stories (Kanga and Roo Come to the Wood, Pooh Corner, and the North Pole) when the characters remember Piglet, although they have been slightly altered in Piglet's favor, which is fine.

The second highlight is that the movie itself is made beautifully. You really feel the emotion that the characters go through, which is strange for an animated film. It is not cheesy or forced - it is simply sweet.

But I must give you warning: as soon as Tigger and Rabbit lose the scrapbook, tears will be shed - and they won't stop until the movie ends. But that's okay, because we could always use a good cry.

'Piglet's Big Movie' is by far the BEST animated Disney film ever, and the greatest animated movie period. Everyone, including adults, should see this movie.

Well what do we have here a movie based on one of the friends of Winnie The Pooh, that's right it's Piglet having his own movie first in the year 2000 was Tigger and now it was Piglet in 2003 with everything nice about him.

Absolutely beautiful soundtrack, adorable characters and I'm not ashamed it made me cry at the end. The plot is quite simple but I think that's what makes the movie so great. I have no idea why some people are rating it so low, it's simply a cute movie and it doesn't try to be anything more or less. I can confidently say it was just as good as The Tigger Movie, so if liked that I'm sure you will love this too. I would highly recommend if your looking for a wholesome feel good movie, and especially if you love the Pooh Bear films like I do, Luckily, if you have Disney plus you can find all of them very easily.

Our children are four (boy) and two (girl) and have only seen two other Pooh movies. Both absolutely loved this one. My wife and I also enjoyed the movie. It was sweet, simple and had just enough plot for them to follow.
