15 Most Disappointing Films Of The Decade (So Far)

6. Winnie The Pooh

You'd be forgiven for not realising there'd been another Winnie The Pooh movie since Pooh's Heffalump Movie back in 2005 (yeah, don't bother checking that one out). Disney pretty much buried their 2011 revisit to the Hundred Acre Wood, not bothering to widely market it, despite a major increase in their stock following Tangled.

It's particularly strange that the movie was unceremoniously shoved between Tangled and Wreck-It-Ralph when you consider that it was a major landmark in the history of both the studio and animation in general - it was their final 2D feature.

That's right - it wasn't The Princess And The Frog, but Winnie The Pooh that had Disney wave goodbye to the style that has made them into an icon. A cynic would say that the limited advertising was motivated by a desire to shut down the costly process in favour of much more marketable CGI, although maybe it was because they saw the film for what it was; for all the troubles with the advertising, it was the actual quality of Winnie The Pooh that makes it such a let down.

It's just too light to be really of worth. Barely over an hour long, it's got some nice, book-referencing animation and one great song, but it's all rather quaint and throwaway. It's aimed at children for sure, but so were The Many Adventures Of... and they still stand up. Ending a medium that brought Bambi, The Lion King and Beauty And The Beast in such a manner is incredibly flat.
