Every pig has his day, and, finally, after toiling for nearly four decades in Winnie-the-Pooh's and Tigger's shadows, Piglet gets top billing. Little Piglet (voiced, as ever, by John Fiedler) feels left out of the enchanted Hundred Acre Wood gang's big plans to harvest honey. When Piglet goes missing during a storm, they use Piglet's "book of memories" to try and locate their precious friend. Along the way, they fondly recall stories -- meeting Kanga and Roo, an expedition to the North Pole, building a house for Eeyore -- that illustrate Piglet's steadfast friendship and selfless behavior. Adding to this film's considerable charms are songs by honey-voiced Carly Simon, including "Sing Ho for the Life of the Bear" and "The More It Snows," with lyrics adapted from A. A. Milne's stories, and the catchy "With a Few Good Friends." Well received in theaters, Piglet's movie will be even bigger on home video with preschool Pooh lovers. Donald Liebenson

All Movie Guide

One of the smaller residents of the 100 Acre Woods finally gets his moment in the spotlight in this animated feature, based on the characters created by A.A. Milne. As Winnie the Pooh (voice of Jim Cummins) and his pals Tigger (also voiced by Cummins), Rabbit (voice of Ken Sansom), and Eeyore (voice of Peter Cullen) set out to harvest honey from the hives in the forest, Piglet (voice of John Fiedler) is told he's too small to come along. Feeling like he often gets the short end of the stick, Piglet decides to strike out on his own, and when the honey hunters return, they can't find their friend -- only his scrapbooks of their adventures of the past. As they look through the books, Winnie and his pals realize just how much their friend means to them, and how much they've taken him for granted. They set out to find Piglet and ask him to come home, and along the way the little pig makes a big difference when his pals need him. Piglet's Big Movie includes several new songs from singer and songwriter Carly Simon. Mark Deming
