One of Winnie the Pooh's best friends and companions is Piglet. He is often portrayed as a timid, hesitant creature, constantly startled and quick to hide. In Milne's original "Winnie the Pooh," in Chapter Three, Piglet says, "WHAT?", with a jump, to show that he hadn't been frightened, he jumped up and down once or twice more in an exercising sort of way. In Chapter Seven, "It is hard to be brave," said Piglet, sniffling slightly, "when you're only a very small animal." In Chapter Nine, Piglet says, "It's a little anxious," he said to himself, "to be a very small animal entirely surrounded by water." Piglet's catchphrase was, "Oh, dear! Oh, d-d-d-dear-dear!
When "Piglet's Big Movie" was released in 2003, it enjoyed a lucrative opening weekend, ranking 7th for total box office revenues. It was preceded by the enjoyable "The Tigger Movie" in 2000 and followed by "Winnie The Pooh: Springtime with Roo." The crux of the film centers on Piglet coming to terms with his fearful nature. Thanks to Winnie and all his friend, Piglet comes to understand, through a series of adventures, that you don't have to be big to do big things.
During three flashback sequences the first adaptations of the original Winnie The Pooh stories, but edited to make Piglet the hero of the stories and conform the rest of the characters personalities as Disney portrayed them but it still manages to retain much of the original plot, but makes that statement that you don't have to be big to do big things. The movie is story of friendship, fun and appreciation filled with adventure, laughter and heart-felt moments.
As Winnie The Pooh and his friends, Tigger, Rabbit, and Eeyore set out to harvest honey from the hives in the forest, Piglet is told he is too small to come along. Since Piglet feels like he is often left out and gets the short end of the stick, he decides to strike out on his own and sets out into the Hundred Acre Wood. When the honey hunters return, they can't find Piglet anywhere, just his scrapbooks of their adventures of the past. As they look through the books, Winnie and his pals realize how much Piglet means to them and how much they've taken him for granted. They set out to find Piglet using his scrapbook for clues, to "think, think, think" for clues as to where he might have gone, 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" enjoys a heavy rotation on Disney's Playhouse. Fearful little Piglet proves the point that size doesn't matter when it comes to accomplishing big things. It is a pointed lesson that not only children can learn from, but it's a good one for adults, even if it is from a Winnie The Pooh character. - 15634
