You would run, and I would always follow. You could lead me anywhere, into joy, into sorrow, into trouble, but I would always go wherever you would. Those days are long gone now. Never to return, and never to be revisited when we are older. Only memories, of sights and smells and sounds. The smell of the grass, tickling our noses and making us sneeze. The sound of our footsteps as we ran home, our path lit only by open doors and streetlights. When halloween was a time for dress up, and we would reap our well-earned spoils. I would always save the best for you. When christmas was our time away, but new years was a welcome return to each other, and next years would be the same. The places we once explored have already been found, the places that once were so large are now in ruins, and the places we used to frequent are now frequented by ghosts. But, even so, I am content. Somewhere, someday, we will find that place again, the small home we made. Someday, I'll meet you again, and

Prologue
Clark looked out of the window on the train, hoping to catch a glimpse of something long forgotten. The same slow rattle echoed out, drowning out the conversattions of other people, all heading in the same direction, and likely for the same destination. Clark sighed, taking in the fact that he, too, was heading back there. To that old, run-down town that he'd tried so hard to forget. Now, he had no choice but to return to it. Clark looked around the carriage once more, again seeing that the other few people on the journey didn't look too excited either.
Clark decided to take a short nap, knowing

Pooh's Most Grand Adventure Review
Winnie The Pooh's Most Grand Adventure...
Is a GOOD movie.
No, seriously. Yes, it's dark. Yes, it can be 'scary'...But look at the Lion King, or Beauty and the Beast or Hunchback of Notre Dame.
It's hardly The Black Cauldron when it comes to dark themes and imagery.
And yet, there's still a sense of bittersweetness to it.
This review will be spoilered, so if you haven't seen it yet...What are you waiting for? The movie turns 20 years old this year, GO!

Anyway, lets start with the storyline and go from there:
It's...surprisingly mature from what's, arguably, one of the most child-friendly franchises in the Disney Canon.
First, we be

''I never thought I'd be looking forward to something new. I was so used to how...normal everything is.'' said Clark. ''I have to agree with that. That's partly the reason I organised this little vacation for us. I thought we both needed some time away from the monotony, and maybe a little more time together.'' replied Brenda. The two of them found themselves smiling, happy to just be spending time with one another, no matter what happened on the trip.
''Come to think of it, if I remember correctly, there was an entry in that journal that really confused me, more than the rest of the entries combined. See if you can

Prologue
The leaky tap was still making it's usual distracting noises. Clark had been meaning to fix that. Staring at the screen of his laptop, he could almost reach someone on the other side, someone who'd listen and have kind words to reply with. But Clark wouldn't listen back, he'd be too scared. Talking and meeting new people...they weren't exactly his strong points. He'd always changed his goals, ever since he was a little kid, though he'd never tell anyone. But those dreams had died with his self-confidence and now he worked as a computer repairman instead. It worked out well for him, of co
