The A.V. Club
Winnie The Pooh is a storybook brought to life with intelligence, wit, and palpable affection; where so many kids' films try desperately to come off as hip and timely that they often feel tacky and instantly dated, Winnie The Pooh is bravely quiet, old-fashioned, and wry. - 80
Empire
As jolly as Tigger, as sweet as honey and as undemanding as a balloon ride, this will delight the wee'uns and put a smile on the face of animation fans of all ages. - 80
Time Out
It never feels as if we're watching a brand-name cash-grab, but instead as if we're participating in an endlessly imaginative afternoon of play. - 80
Village Voice
At barely over an hour, the film still overflows with musical charm, nostalgic wonder, and visual wit (characters literally interact with the words on Milne's pages). This one will make you feel eight years old again. - 75
Orlando Sentinel
It's a treat for children making their first trek to the multiplex and for parents and grandparents with fond memories of the Hundred Acre Wood. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
Little kids will enjoy it all, while parents, when not checking their cell phones, will be thankful for the thoughtfully brief running time. - 70
Variety
The desire to stay true to what was lovable and enduring about the originals is palpable throughout, down to the amusing storybook conceit of having the characters interact not only with the narrator (voiced by John Cleese), but also with the letters and punctuation marks on the page. - 67
Entertainment Weekly
In execution, it is charming...and also a little monotonous.
