Where do words go when they are not spoken? Such elegant Pooh ponderings are what make Book of Pooh vintage A.A. Milne, though it is not Milne at all but Disney's nostalgic nod to the classic British characters of the Hundred Acre Wood. Fun with Words is equally as magical as its predecessor, Stories from the Heart, featuring lifelike puppetry in a sparkling setting (reminiscent of Bear in the Big Blue House, which shares the same executive producer, Mitchell Kriegman). Though the title suggests a grammar lesson, there are no alphabet exercises or word games here. Rather, four heart-warming episodes delve into the amusing mysteries of speech from the perspective of Pooh, Eeyore, Tigger, and the gang. In one tale, "The Words Are Out," Piglet's case of laryngitis is of great concern to Pooh who believes Piglet's words have either run away or are simply stuck inside of Piglet. In another story, Owl believes Eeyore has a "Brain Drain" when he momentarily forgets how to voice his thoughts. And laughter is the theme of "Isn't That Funny," when Tigger tries on various laughing styles to see which suits him best. A dozen musical numbers cap the 88-minute program. --Lynn Gibson
