3 Nov 2011Brandon wasn’t sure about this movie at first, because it didn’t have any cars with faces on them. :) After one minute of watching, he burst into laughter so hard that we thought he might have been crying! He just loved Tigger, who was bouncing on his tail (who doesn’t?) and Eeyore and Pooh. This is a great movie for kids, and would be a great stocking stuffer!
