“I am a big fan of Winnie the Pooh, love most of the movies, the specials and the TV series and of course the whimsical stories of AA Milne. Seasons of Giving is cute with strong messaging, but my feelings were mixed. The characters are still likable, who doesnu0026#39;t love Tigger, the writing is droll with many touches of charm and poignancy and the storytelling is simple, beautifully paced and still has the childhood innocence I associate Winnie the Pooh with. The highlight is the use of the episode u0026quot;Find Her Keep Heru0026quot;, which was both heart-warming and touching. Conversely there were some things I didnu0026#39;t like. The animation had a scratchy look to it, with many backgrounds lacking finesse and the colouring very flat. I didnu0026#39;t think much of the songs either, the incidental music was decent but by the end my teeth were starting to hurt from the sugar and schmaltz that the songs exuded. Nor did I like Pigletu0026#39;s voice, too high in pitch and it wasnu0026#39;t sweet or timid enough. Thank goodness Jim Cummings and Paul Winchell fared much better, as well as Peter Cullen. In conclusion, I wasnu0026#39;t crazy about it but it wasnu0026#39;t terrible. 6/10 Bethany Cox”
