And now to the recent follow up film, we have Winnie the Pooh. The Movie: Winnie the Pooh is the 51st movie in the Disney Animated Canon (unless you are in the UK, which for some reason doesn't include it).  It falls near the beginning of Disney's Revival Period, smack between the hits Tangled and Wreck-It Ralph.  As of today, it is the last 2D animated film in the canon.  Though the movie received almost universally positive reviews, it underperformed at the box-office, owing in part to opening the same weekend as the final Harry Potter movie.
