Best of Pooh Friends Heffalumps Too

Product description Enjoy your favorite songs from Winnie the Pooh. The Best of Pooh and Heffalumps, too! Winnie the Pooh, The Horribly Hazardous Heffalumps, Little Mr. Roo, The Name Game, Shoulder to Shoulder Amazon.com The soundtrack to 2003's Piglet's Big Movie, from which Heffalumps borrows a couple of songs, played like a well-kept secret: Instead of stuttering along with Tigger and the gang, grown-ups got to match vocals with Carly Simon, who lent the bulk of the songs baby-blanket warmth and appeal. On this sequel soundtrack for which she was wisely recruited, she appears as honey-voiced as ever, coaxing a grown-up caliber performance out of a kids' orchestra on "Shoulder to Shoulder" and getting down to the kiddy nitty-gritty of "In the Name of the Hundred Acre Wood/What Do You Do?" Though Simon's sweet-natured contributions account for only around half the disc, with the other half returning us to fluffy Pooh staples, the energy expended on a bouncy-flouncy fun-fun-fun slog through "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers" is well worth it. At home harmonizing rarely gets this good. --Tammy La Gorce
