One of the smaller residents of the 100 Acre Woods finally gets his moment in the spotlight in this animated feature, based on the characters created by A.A. Milne. As Winnie the Pooh (voice of Jim Cummins) and his pals Tigger (also voiced by Cummins), Rabbit (voice of Ken Sansom), and Eeyore (voice of Peter Cullen) set out to harvest honey from the hives in the forest, Piglet (voice of John Fiedler) is told he's too small to come along. Feeling like he often gets the short end of the stick, Piglet decides to strike out on his own, and when the honey hunters return, they can't find their friend -- only his scrapbooks of their adventures of the past. As they look through the books, Winnie and his pals realize just how much their friend means to them, and how much they've taken him for granted. They set out to find Piglet and ask him to come home, and along the way the little pig makes a big difference when his pals need him. Piglet's Big Movie includes several new songs from singer and songwriter Carly Simon. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Young DVD viewers will surely be looking for Piglet's Big Movie on the movie shelves. The 1.85:1 anamorphic transfer is full of lively, familiar colors. The animation is reproduced delightfully, and there aren't any distracting elements, making it an equal representation of the theatrical print. The 5.1 English Dolby Digital track is also nicely done. While it's not too surprising that there's really no use of the surrounds, the overall sound elements, from dialogue to effects, are nonetheless strong and clear throughout. The supplements offered are quite clearly made for the younger set. In addition to DVD-ROM coloring pages, three separate sections are included: a game called "Piglet's Book of Memories," a collection of stories entitled "The World According to Piglet," and a singalong so kids can join in on the many songs from Carly Simon. Finally, as is the case with most Disney titles, there are a number of theatrical and home video "sneak peeks," this time consisting of Brother Bear, =The Lion King Special Edition, and the =Sleeping Beauty Special Edition, among others. While not in the same "league" as The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh, this is still an entertaining film and a nice enough disc to keep the children entertained. ~ Trent Fordham, All Movie Guide
