"The Book of Pooh - Stories From the Heart"
...available here.
While Disney didn't invent Winnie the Pooh, nor first animate him,
it certainly has Americanized the British bear into a cartoon
character hardly resembling A.A. Milne's original 1924 creation.
Although Disney's four "Storybook Classics" titles (from 1966) were
somewhat faithful to Milne's concept, subsequent titles (especially
in the "Playtime" and "Learning" series) descended into second-rate
TV fare. This is all to say that Disney has redeemed itself.
Also available on VHS.

WORD FOR WORD
...Disney DVD here.
Charming tale of a good witch (Angela Lansbury) who helps out three
children in World War II England. Star David Tomlinson reteams with
his "Mary Poppins" director Robert Stevenson with solid
success. Winner of the Oscar for Visual Effects (and nominated for
five others), the film has been shortened over the years. This
30th-anniversary edition is restored to the original length, and the
DVD contains cartoon shorts, a still-frame art gallery, and
behind-the-scenes coverage.
...Disney DVD here.
The King Arthur legend gets the Disney treatment. Wolfgang Reitherman,
the director of the original "Winnie the Pooh" shorts and "The Jungle
Book," keeps the keen visual styles of those films, though the "Stone"
script hasn't aged as well as other Disney classics. The DVD contains
cartoon shorts, a still-frame art and photo gallery, and a 1957
half-hour TV special on magic hosted by Walt Disney.
...Disney DVD here.
With only one major star (Denzel Washington), an appealing cast of
fresh unknowns, and a winning emphasis on substance over
self-indulgent style, Boaz Yakin's "Remember the Titans" is, like
"Rudy" before it, a football movie that will be fondly remembered by
anyone who sees it. Also available in a full-screen format.
