I'm more than a little hung up on the latest Winnie the Pooh film, and it's a lot more than just the short 65 minute running time that, with prices what they are this day, feels like some kind of robbery. It's also that it seems to lack some sort of overarching storyline that compounds our emotional attachment to our characters. Nobody ever seems to take charge of the psychological aspects of a boy living in a fantasy world with his stuffed animals. This just seems like simple fun, which is nice but not necessary.

Its not exactly like the Winnie the Pooh stories are known for their psychological aspects. Like you said its all just simple fun (that based on its run time I'll be buying an early bird showing, matineed and late night prices really do feel like Disney is trying to cheat us. Which is weird because John Lasseter promised a lot of stories but it seems that they were all cut out).
