Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore (1983)

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.

Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore is a masterpiece if you are looking for a movie that you will be laughing over and over again than this is the movie for you than it is perfect for the whole family to enjoy after you watch it you will be saying why have we never watched that before that was great if you are looking for a movie for the whole family can enjoy than this is the movie it is a work of art you will see nothing like this in your whole life it is so cool i never saw anything like this before if you are looking for a good kick back and chill out than this is the movie for you i know if you liked the other Winnie the Pooh movies than i know you will enjoy this work of art you need to watch this wonderful wonderful wonderful movie that makes you want to say Winnie the pooh Winnie the pooh Winnie the pooh silly oh bear that is how good this movie is if you are looking for a good classic than this is the movie this movie should be in Disney Digital 3D Real D 3D and IMAX 3D now that would be sweet

I do think out of the four Winnie the Pooh vignettes this is my least favourite, but it is fun to watch. It isn't as funny as the other three, though Tigger is still very funny, and the narrator just lacks the thoughtfulness of Sebastian Cabot.That said, it is well animated, the voice acting especially from Paul Winchell and John Fiedler are without fault, and it is still very charming, and has a good story that just about engages the young audience.The music is not so bad either, and the Pooh Sticks scene was inspired.All in all, not the best our favourite bear has to offer, but worth watching. 8/10 Bethany Cox

"Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore" isn't as good as the 3 earlier shorts but it's still likable.The picture quality of this short is slightly inferior comparing to the earlier ones and that is part of the reason why it isn't as good.Another reason is because most of the cast is different. Unfortunately we have no longer Sebastian Cabot, Junius Matthews, Barbara Luddy and Sterling Holloway. On the other hand, luckily we still have Ralph Wright, Paul Winchell, John Fiedler and Hal Smith in this short - and that's a good sign. Jim Cummings does a decent job as the voice of Winnie the Pooh, but Sterling Holloway was better.This short is mostly dedicated to the gloomy donkey Eeyore.However, he is feeling more miserable than ever for two reasons. First, because Tigger bounced him and accidentally threw him into a river. And second, because it's his birthday and nobody remembered that, which causes Eeyore to believe that nobody cares about him.In a try to help Eeyore getting off the river, Winnie the Pooh accidentally throws a rock to his belly, nearly causing poor Eeyore to drown.When Pooh finally finds out that today is Eeyore's birthday, he decides to give him a jar of honey as a present, while Piglet decides to give him a balloon. But accidentally Pooh eats the honey and Piglet breaks the balloon after falling.Surprisingly, Eeyore enjoys the empty jar and the broken balloon. Another surprise is that Eeyore smiles. We never see him smiling.In the meantime, Cristopher Robin returns and they all celebrate Eeyore's birthday with a new game named "Pooh Sticks". Of course that Tigger says "That's what Tiggers do best" and then he contradicts himself."Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore" is still a very enjoyable experience and luckily it is available as an extra in the 25th Anniversary Edition DVD of "The Many Adventures of Winie the Pooh".These Winnie the Pooh's shorts/stories are also a great way to learn and see how valuable friendship is.
