'Winnie the Pooh' (2011)

Culled from the stories of A. A. Milne, the most recent Winnie the Pooh film (opening July 15), once again delves into the magical world where a friendship between a boy and a bear flourishes. In just one day, the heroic Pooh Bear must find Eeyore's lost tail and his missing human friend Christopher Robin before he can relax with his favorite treat, a jug of honey. The film is narrated by Monty Python alum John Cleese, with comedian Craig Ferguson voicing the role of Owl and actress-singer Zooey Deschanel singing on the catchy soundtrack.
