Disney's The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977)



Disney's 1977 The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh may be the last word on (animated) Pooh because it so faithfully honors the first word on Pooh, penned in the 1920s by British storyteller A.A. Milne. Gently paced, subtly humorous, and blessedly understated, this adaptation reflects Walt Disney's original vision to develop the beloved British bear for a wider audience. The film is essentially a collection of the original Pooh shorts, "The Honey Tree," "The Blustery Day," and "Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too." These storybooks are presented in seamless "chapters," narrated by the timeless Sebastian Cabot. The familiar musical score and original voices of Sterling Holloway as Pooh, and Paul Winchell as Tigger, cap this enchanting keepsake. (Ages 2 and up). --Lynn Gibson

Website of the week - Pink Lady

A blast from the past, all the way back to circa 1980. The Pink Lady & Jeff Show were Keiko Masuda ("Kei") and Mitsuyo Nemoto ("Mie") and comedian Jeff Altman. The show was voted #35 on the American TV Guide's list of 50 worst shows ever. Hey, it wasn't THAT bad. It was produced by Sid and Marty Kroft. Some of the guests were Sid Caesar, Roy Orbison, Blondie, Teddy Pendergrass, Alice Cooper, and Jerry Lewis!

Disney's The Lion King (1994)



Not an ideal choice for younger kids, this hip and violent animated feature from Disney was nevertheless a huge smash in theaters and on video, and it continues to enjoy life in an acclaimed Broadway production. The story finds a lion cub, son of a king, sent into exile after his father is sabotaged by a rivalrous uncle. The little hero finds his way into the "circle of life" with some new friends and eventually comes back to reclaim his proper place. Characters are very strong, vocal performances by the likes of Jeremy Irons, Nathan Lane, and Whoopi Goldberg are terrific, the jokes are aimed as much (if not more) at adults than kids, the animation is sometimes breathtaking, and the music is more palatable than in many Disney features. But be cautious: this is too intense for the Rugrats crowd. --Tom Keogh
