YMMV / The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (Disney Parks)

• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Much like the film, the "Heffalumps and Woozles" segment is this but worse, thanks to the structure of the ride. Any buildup of Tigger explaining the threat to Pooh is gone, and instead Pooh is seen falling asleep and then the sequence happens. It lasts a solid third of the ride's length, yet the ride quickly ignores everything that happened and jumps into the rain storm.
• Opinion Myopia: To this very day, the ride tends to receive scorn from Disney Park fans for replacing Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and Country Bear Jamboree at Magic Kingdom and Disneyland, respectively, and are baffled as to why Disney would replace two of their "classic" attractions with a Winnie the Pooh attraction. However, that hasn't stopped The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh from being one of the most popular dark rides in both parks, and it is often ignored that the reason why Disney replaced Mr. Toad and Country Bear with Pooh at all was that both were unpopular amongst guests.
• Replacement Scrappy: In the US theme parks, the ride gets lots of ire from fans for replacing Country Bear Jamboree in Disneyland and especially Mr. Toad's Wild Ride in the Magic Kingdom. In both cases, it was seen as taking a beloved classic in the parks and replacing it with a smaller experience that would allow the space for a gift shop to sell merchandise based off a Cash-Cow Franchise. That said, it's far more popular amongst general guests and especially kids.
• So Okay, It's Average: The general consensus of the ride. While the experience itself is nothing special, lacking much of the charm of other Fantasyland dark rides and, in the US, considered inferior to its predecessors, it still has its creative and fun moments and captures the breeziness of the original film well enough.
• Tear Jerker: The original Magic Kingdom incarnation of the ride ended up being the final performance of Paul Winchell as Tigger (and one of his last voiceover roles in general) before he passed away in 2005, about six years later. Knowing this makes re-watching the scenes with him in quite bittersweet.
• Visual Effects of Awesome: The hologram effect of Pooh's body drifting through the air (as he enters his nightmare) is pretty impressive.
