Roo’s “biscuit cough” cracked us up! The kids and I did a combination of audio and paper for this book, as the narrator Peter Dennis had great voices (especially Piglet’s pig noises) and the physical book was good for illustrations and weird word clarifications.

Holy shit that ending
Holy shit den her bog er massivt meget bedre end den første. Karakterne er polerede, de små historier er bedre og de underlæggende temaer træder stærkere i karakter end i den første bog.
Elsker de små pejlemærker på Christopher Robins skolemæssige udvikling gennem bogen, hvor ikke bare hans stavning, men stort set alle dyrenes stavning forbedres. Overgangen fra barn til voksen har aldrig haft flere konsekvenser.

har inte läst mycket nalle puh alls men vi hade två dvd:er när vi va små, ”heffaklumpen” och ”jakten på christopher robin”. jag tyckte båda va skitläskiga.
”underskatta inte värdet av att göra ingenting, av att bara ströva omkring alldeles ensam, lyssna på allt som man inte kan höra och bara ha det bra”
även barnböcker har små guldkorn och det är kul att läsa dem som vuxen, för man ser saker man inte gjorde som barn och samtidigt lär man sig att vara barn igen

Another delightful visit to the Hundred Acre Wood that left my heart happy. Also, I was so glad to see Tigger finally join the crew.

After the tenth time reading “Winnie The Pooh” to my son, the material was starting to get, well, annoying. So, I began to develop my own ideas for casting the characters. Now, this is all based on the six or seven passable impressions that I can do. If you ask my wife, my DeVito and my Pacino sound identical so that really takes us down to four or five voices. Please keep in mind that the talent pool is severely limited here.
Even at two months old, Luke will sit there and attentively listen to a story. Providing he doesn’t fall asleep half way through, there is a bonus that he may laugh at the appropriate points if I play my parts well enough. He may also laugh at inappropriate points in the story too, so either I am really entertaining or maybe I should rethink how I gauge his enjoyment.
Based on his engagement with the story, I feel a certain sense of responsibility to deliver a high quality performance, worthy of critic’s praise.
So, IncrediDad Theatre proudly presents the casting for “The House at Pooh Corner”. We apologize to any of Daddy’s celebrity impressions that didn’t make the cut. We encourage you to audition for tomorrow nights reading of “Curious George”.
In the role of Eeyore, I will deliver my best Sylvester Stallone. Sky’s speech pattern and, uh, rich baritone lend itself perfectly to the clinically depressed donkey. This one was an accidental but immediate hit. I did not expect the dialogue to work as well as it did with this voice.
As Rabbit, Arnold Schwarzeneggar. Who better to deliver lines such as “Argh! Get out of mah gahden Pooh Burr!” Or “It’snotaturnip.”
Al Pacino is the perfect impression to use for the high strung and nervous, Piglet. He suddenly sounds like a mobster who might crack at any moment. It also plays well in those moments when Piglet is fed up with that silly old bear’s nonsense.
For the voice of Christopher Robbin, I chose, dead comedian, Ed Wynn. While you may not remember his name, you might remember him as Uncle Albert in the Disney film “Mary Poppins”, or as the voice of the Mad Hatter in the animated feature “Alice In Wonderland”.
Finally, in the lead role of the honey loving Winnie The Pooh, I use my best impression of Bane, Tom Hardy’s villainous character from “The Dark Knight Rises”. I can’t remember how that bad idea came to fruition but I’m in too deep to quit now. This old times wrestler voice with a metallic prang has become one of Luke’s favourite voices that I do. How do I know? No matter what I say, no matter how hungry or tired he is, Bane always gets a laugh. In the Daddy world, that kind of review is worth more than any Baby Oscar.
So there you have it, a typical bedtime story session in our house. I may not win any awards for it but I do feel like I am earning the equivalent of a doctorate in Children’s Literature. Thankfully, he’ll be able to read to himself by the time we get to the Harry Potter series. I don’t think I have that many voices in me.
