Le avventure di Winnie the Pooh

Le avventure di Winnie the Pooh

Benvenuti o bentornati sul nostro blog. Nello scorso articolo siamo arrivati al 21° classico animato della Disney ossia Robin Hood. Un film che ha un significato profondo per lo studio, dato che era il primo progetto animato realizzato nella più totale autonomia (ne Gli Aristogatti, Walt Disney riuscì a dare dei consigli prima di morire). Robin Hood è certamente un prodotto pieno di difetti.…

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1997)

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is a big pot of golden joy; so sweet it’s impossible not to smile. Even for adults, it offers many laughs, the kind of clever gags that children probably won’t understand. It’s quotable and memorable, the kind of movie you’d be delighted to call the first you ever saw.

Technically, the film isn’t entirely new. It combines three previously-released shorts, all based on the works of A. A. Milne. The first is Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree (1966), in which Pooh (Larry Clemons) runs out of honey and decides, with the help of Christopher Robin, to disguise himself as a rain cloud, float up to a bee’s nest and steal their honey. In the second story, Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day (1968), the inhabitants of the Hundred Acre Woods search for a new home for Owl (Hal Smith). In the third story, Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too (1974), Pooh meets Tigger (Paul Winchell) a tiger obsessed with bouncing.

I have no points to deduct but a few noteworthy observations. For example, the voice acting changes from one story to the next (Christopher Robin is voiced by Bruce Reitherman, later Jon Walmsley and Timothy Turner). You will also notice slight changes in the designs (notably Piglett, voiced by John Fiedler). That’s it.

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh feels like a warm childhood memory you’re revisiting. There’s something about the simple charms of these sweet characters whose every conflict come from how well they get along that’s so endearing. There are no villains and even if there are disagreements, they can be solved with frank conversations, which makes them universal.

That, and it’s clever the whole way through. What you probably don’t remember is that Pooh, Eeyore, Tigger, Rabbit, Kanga, Roo and everyone else know they’re stuffed animals brought to life by imagination and live within the confines of a book. This means they’ll speak to the narrator and literally jump from one page to the next to advance through the story at their own pace. There’s a level of sophistication in the writing that you probably didn’t grasp if you only saw The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh when you were little, but you will now. Pooh’s insatiable hunger may have been hilarious then, it’s even better now when you realize just how dumb – but endearing – he and his friends are. As an adult, you better understand its charms and the quality of the visuals. Check out that Pooh's nightmare of Heffalumps and Woozles, for example. Wow! These escapades are so original, so memorable they stick with you long after they’re done. The excellent songs by the Sherman Brothers aid in making The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh an instant favorite, if it wasn’t already. (On Blu-ray, May 17, 2018)

Maleficent is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Pictures’ 16th animated feature film, Sleeping Beauty (1959). Maleficent is based on the evil fairy godmother character in Charles Perrault’s fairy tale “Sleeping Beauty”, as well as the villainess who appears in the Brothers Grimm’s retelling of the story, “Little Briar Rose”. The character was animated by Marc Davis. The wicked sorceress or horned witch was aptly named “Maleficent”. In determining Maleficent’s design, standard depictions of witches and hags were dismissed as Mattinson’s opted for an elegant, sinister, green-skinned beauty centered around the appearance of flames, ultimately crowning the villain with a black two-pointed headdress, often called an “atora”.[citation needed] According to Mattinson, Maleficent “was designed like a giant vampire bat to create a feeling of menace.” Maleficent transforms into a dragon in the original film, which was animated by Eric Cleworth, who said that the dragon was modeled on a rattlesnake, with “powerful muscles moving a bulky body over the rocky terrain.”

🐘 In “Jungle Book”, Colonel Hathi and the other elephants were animated by John Loun and Eric Cleworth. Tonight, I based this drawing on a sketch I based on a sketch by Milt Kahl I saw online.
