Heffalump - A New Friend for Winnie the Pooh is a cartoon from the Walt Disney Studios . The film is based on characters invented by Alan Alexander Milne for the novel Pooh the Pooh .

content

Winnie the Pooh , Ruh, Tigger, Rabbit and Piglet are back on an adventure trip. As usual, the small audience should be taught something. This time it's tolerance. After the solo adventures of Ferkel and Tigger, everything now revolves around the Heffalumps. This fabled species appears to be terrifying monsters, if the myths surrounding them are to be believed. Ruh gets it into his head to catch one of these monsters. It should start the next day, but Känga, Ruh's mother, thinks little of the idea of ​​letting her child stride over the borders of the Hundred Acre Forest. But Ruh goes into business for himself and quickly finds what he is looking for in the forest.

A little Heffalump baby, called Lumpi (whose full name is Heffrich Trampler Trompeter Heffalump, IV. ), Turns out to be completely harmless and playful after an initial shock . When Ruh wants to introduce it to his friends, Lumpy reminds them of the terrible monsters that would live in the Hundred Acre Wood. These fears are of course unfounded, as Heffalump becomes clear in the course of the film.

criticism

For film-dienst it is a film “... which fails because of the attempt to expand the inventory of characters in the literature. The result is boring and regressive entertainment with a number of unsuccessful songs that gamble away the charm of the original. "
