PAGE TWO THE MICHIGAN DAILY SUNDAY, FEBRUARY ?7, 1966 PAGE TWO TIlE MICHIGAN DAILY SINDAY. FEBRUARY 27, 1966 77-- FILMS: Disney's 'Winnie, A Poohperfect Classic THEATRE Chiidren's Play: Adult Approach By JAMES SCHUTZE Those persons, who neglect to see Disney's "Winnie the Pooh" while it is playing at the State Theatre will be depriving them- selves of one of the few diverting experiences to come out of Holly- wood in the last seventy-eight years. Disney compiled chapters one and two of A. A. Milne's book. ("In Which We Are Introduced To Winnie The Pooh And Some Bees And The Stories Begin," and "In Which Pooh Goes Visiting And Gets Into A Tight Place"), meld- ing the two story lines together for forty minutes of absorbing drama. We all know the story of Pooh's cheerfully glutinous appetite for honey and the trouble it often brought to him. The movie treats in detail Pooh's scandalous raid on the Honey Tree in which he ascends to the hive clutching a blue balloon aftet. rolling in the Muddy Place to disguise himself as a black cloud. The desperate tension which grips Pooh when the bees first grow suspicious of his improbable presence sears across the screen with crackling intensity when Pooh attempts to bolster his; faltering desception by singing, "How sweet to be a cloud, Floating in the blue! Every little Cloud Always sings aloud." Pooh's subsequent misfortune at the hands of the undeluded bees leads the movie into a reenactment of the tragic accident which befell, him while visiting Rabbit's under- ground house. Readers will re- member that Pooh so shamelessly gorged himself on the eternally hospitable Rabbit's honey that he got stuck on his way back up to the surface, exposing only his un- smiling sticky face to the out of doors. The sequence, though some- what drawn out by director Wolf- gang Reitherman, is an accurate and entertaining reconstruction of the actual event as it happened in 1933. Reitherman, in general, does not distinguish himself in this film. His choice of the Hundred Acre Forest location for the shoot- ing would have been perfect had he included more shots of the forest itself and less of Rabbit's unprepossessing domicile. In the future, Reitherman would probably do better to address himself chief- ly to television documentaries and singing.- commercials rather than animated drama. His one saving grace in this instance, however, was an uncanny sense of casting. Winnie the Pooh, leads the cast with a disarmingly personal por- trayal of himself. He delivers his terse lines withthe sort of breezy self-confidence and nonchalance which thoroughly delights a youthful audience.t His feeling for the role of Pooh is established almost immediately when he opens the movie with a soliloquy deliver- ed before his mirror explaining that he is "rumbly in the tumbly." His ability carries him successfully to the movie's end with only one slight (and forgiveable) article transgression, an unnecessary and unkind aside in which he re- marks with nose in air, that the gohper, a bit player, was not in the book. Fine performances were also turned in by Kanga, Roo, Rabbit, Eeyore, Owl, and Piglet. Perhaps the only actor who did not earn praise was Christopher Robin, who played his part with a bored detachment which may suggest that he is outgrowing the role and knows it. Eeyore, the permanently de= pressed don0 y of. the forest, brought tears to the hearts of the entire audience when he explained dolefully that he missed his acci- dentally misplaced tail not for its beauty alone but, "because I was attached to it." The reader must be warned that this particular treatment of Pooh's tale was designed specifically for the tastes of little boys who won't stay in their seats and little girls who laugh at all the jokes. The dark underlying psychological ten- sion of A. A. Milne's book is not reproduced in any form in this film, probably because the cast saw no point in dragging it all out in public again. And perhaps that is all for the best. There can be no real justifi- cation for obliging Pooh and com- pany to go to a lot of extra trouble merely for the amusement of bored psychology students. And as the little girl sitting with her father in front of this reviewer summed up afterward, "That was a fun movie." By BETSY COHN ".Dick and Jane Eat Goose- berries" seems to have lost its appeal to the sophisticated chil- dren of today. In theater, as in everything else, they are looking for "substance." The University Players and the speech department, provide for both: sophisticated youngdaudi- ences and substance through the combined efforts of Michael Har- rah, a teaching fellow in the speech department and Margaret McKerrow, director of Players' Children's Theatre. Together, they have turned out a libretto for a new musical, "Pierre Pathelin," for which Roger Wertenberger, a former student of the school of music, has written the music. Put all together--they have come up with a show for children which takes an adult approach. Pierre (David-Rhys Anderson) is a lawyer, so clever that no one will hire him. In an effort to clothe himself and" his wife re- spectably, Pierre must connive to get clothes from the Draper (Ken- neth Chomont). This infuriates the draper who is already un- happy because he believes that his shepherd has stolen some sheep. The result is that Pierre defends the Shepherd (Alan Heminger) in court and the Draper becomes totally confused between the sheep he lost to the Shepherd and the cloth he lost to Pierre. Pierre loses money after being cheated by the sly shepherd, and the bright eyed rosy cheeked audience is smacked firmly in the face with the moral' that honesty pays while crooked Shepherds don't. The original "Pierre Pathelin" is an old French farce, written around 1200 A.D. For 700 years "Pierre" had been considered an adult play, now the Harrah- McKorrow team has transformed it to a delightful comedy, complete with music and substance. "Pierre Pathelin" is itself a milestone for children's threare as the first musical the children's theater has performed. The last performance of this comedy-farce will be this after- noon in Trueblood Auditorium at '2 p.m. U CIO 4'r CREATIVE ARTS FESTIVAL NEW CHRISTY MINSTRELS BLOCK TICKET ORDERS must be returned by 3 P.M., Wednesday, March 2 ...... . , , w.. ."R.YMt"Y . r..".
