Winnie the Pooh: A Valentine for You Special Edition

For parents looking for a valentine's based video for their children, this is a good/safe release for them!
With "Valentine's Day" just around the corner, "Winnie the Pooh - A Valentine For You: Special Edition" is a re-release of the previous 2004 DVD "Winnie the Pooh - Un-Valentine's Day/A Valentine for You" but this time around, new to DVD comes the episode "My Hero" from the animated TV series "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" and Winnie the Pooh, Tigger and Piglet Valentines day cards (six total).

It seems that the advertisements at the beginning of the video are longer than the movie itself! You have to like the story, as cheesy and silly as it is, as it is Pooh. However, for a story that lasts only about 20 minutes, it seems silly to pay such a price. It is enjoyable but may not be worth the buy.
