If I Wasn't So Small

One of the best Disney's done.

In recent years, Disney has had a string of a few okay films, with the majority being poorly told sequels which do no business. This, is not one of the latter.

In Piglet's big movie, we journey back to the hundred acre wood, where the ensemble of characters learn that Piglet has played much bigger role in their lives than they've previously noticed. For children, this is a very good film that teaches them the importance of value and appreciation, and for kids and adults alike, it still has that same old classic Pooh Bear charm that never fails to please. While it's got a few laughs, there are some touching scenes where everyone reminisces upon past occasions where Piglet has been selfless and done something huge to help them out. And at 75 minutes, it's enough time to kill while waiting for a flight, or for dinner. Highly recommended.
