Winnie the Pooh is hungry. Again. The lovable bear's search for honey brings him to Christopher Robin's doorstep, but he's not home. There is, instead, a note. Winne the Pooh, Eeyore, Owl, Rabbit, Piglet, Kanga, Roo, and Tigger believe Christopher Robin has been taken by the fearsome Backson. To rescue their friend, the group sets out to entrap the creature. But, as happens in the Hundred Acre Wood, things never quite go as planned. And Pooh remains hungry. The beloved 2011 Disney film is brough to exciting life in this heartwarming graphic novel. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

This adaptation is a graphic novel that makes use of frames from the original movie for illustrations. A veritable army of creators led by Robert Greenberger clipped and pasted the art into a six-panel grid and copied the movie script word-for-word directly into the word balloons. It is a faithful recreation of the movie on paper, but actually took my daughter and me two or three times longer to read than it did for us to watch the movie.
As we read, we found scenes in the movie that lasted a few seconds elongate to minutes as each frame of action gets the exact same size panel. So, for instance, Pooh taking a couple steps can last a whole page, doffing his cap is another full page -- all as if the film is unrolling in slow motion. And since most of the film's visual gags are included, there are a lot of nearly wordless pages, but they still take a while to "read" as you decipher the pantomime from stills that were designed to have dozens of images between them to help any particular nanosecond make sense.
It is interesting though to see an adaptation that actually does a full adaptation of a film's musical sequences. Usually in this sort of thing songs are skipped entirely or are referenced with just a line or two, often pretending that the character is just saying the lines instead of breaking into song and dance. But here we get the full lyrics of every song (except, curiously, Zooy Deschanel's closing credits original song) and the full choreography. But unlike the movie I couldn't absorb the music and visuals simultaneously, so there was a bit of a dissonance as I read the words and then looked at the pictures.
So I'm going to chalk this up as an interesting failure. It's not a pleasant reading experience, but it is still at least a novel experience. And the script from the movie is good regardless of how much the pacing is thrown off in this format.

(My Pooh Project: I love Winnie the Pooh, and so does my wife. Having a daughter gave us a chance to indoctrinate her into the cult by buying and reading her every Pooh book we came across. How many is that? I’m going to count them this year by reading and reviewing one every day and seeing which month I finally run out. Track my progress here:
