Starring: Winnie the Pooh
It's the first day of autumn, and Christopher Robin has written a book of rhymes about all of his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood. But when the pages of the book scatter in the wind, everyone must help put it back together. Now if Pooh can only remember how to rhyme, it just may save the day! WINNIE THE POOH ABC's provides an age-appropriate introductory lesson in literacy by conveying basic information about rhyming, highlighting the value of writing down words, explaining the connection between sounds and letters and familiar names, and illustrating how to form basic letters. Your preschooler will find learning irresistibly fun with Winnie the Pooh and all his pals in never-before-seen stories developed by Disney and leading educators! Discover Disney Learning Adventures, and give your child the priceless gift of learning that lasts a lifetime.

Doesn't really teach the alphabet
The title is a bit deceiving. This video doesn't really cover the ABC"s. Pooh looses the pages to a book of poems that Christopher Robin has written about the different characters. In order to get the book in the right order, they must rhyme the last word of the previous poem to the first word of the next poem. They then learn to write the first letter of each of their names. There is, however, a short video that sings the ABC song in the bonus features. If you're looking for a specific ABC teaching aid, I'd look somewhere else, but if you love Pooh, or your little one does, it's still a cute video that has some educational merit.

Amazing music, my 22 month old LOVES it!
This is by far our son's favorite video. He is thrilled by the wonderful, orchestral music, and the funny scenes with the characters. I'm sure he doesn't understand the entire plot, but for sheer enjoyment, I wish I had 10 movies like this! Highly recommend!

If You're Looking To Teach Letters, Look Elsewhere
I have to agree with the vast majority of the reviewers and say that this product is more or less useless when it comes to its expected purpose: to teach pre-schoolers the alphabet. It focuses mostly on words and rhyming. This might be good for older children, but not for a two year old and not for a parent that wanted something to teach letters.
The bonus song was the only part I could admit to hitting the target, but it's very short (2 or 3 minutes) and there are only so many times you can put it on repeat before you want to tear your hair out.
I purchased this DVD after falling in love with the Shapes and Sizes DVD, which is also from Disney's Learning Adventures. The difference is night and day. (I also own the 123s, which is also tremendously better than this disc).
If you want to help your child learn letters (and even the sounds the letters make), go with the LeapFrog Letter Factory disc. I bought it along with this disc after reading the reviews here and it has earned every good word said about it.

Returned it to the store!!
This video/DVD lacks the content it claims it has. It only covers 5 or so letters, and does not focus on the sounds. It is pain-stakingly boring, lacks excitement and did not keep my 20 month old daughter's attention. Even the bonus section that is supposed to teach the letters on the DVD version did not appeal to her. Needless to say, we returned this one to the store.
I recommend Leapster's Letter Factory which has taught my daughter the sounds of the letters within 2 weeks and has a bonus interactive letter game.

Too advanced for a 3 year old
For children just learning their alphabets, this video is too advanced. It doesn't even have the "alphbet song".
It has rhyming and "spelling" that is currently being taught to my first and second grader (i.e. words like: "near" "sky" ""stop" "friends")
The story line is too distracting.
Teaching lessons are too far apart to be beneficial.
Disappointing a multibillion dollar company couldn't spend a little on a consultant familiar with teaching preschoolers.
These videos, "Pooh's 123" and "Pooh's ABC" has convinced me not to trust Disney on education videos.
This is not a video for a preschooler, and only a review for older children already know how to spell.

Good
It was very good. my daughter doesn't watch much tv, but when she is extremely grump she can watch this and it isn't a mindless waste of time.

Disappointed-
I bought this video for my 2 1/2 year old because he is very interested in the alphabet. The dvd was a huge disappointment because it didn't deal with letters but focused on rhyming words, etc. Not suitable for my son's age, boring and short. They sing a 60 second song with the alphabet that is an extra feature and that was the only thing he liked. Not a good buy.

Not what we expected. Very boring and disappointing!
We were disappointed with this. We were waiting for them to tackle up the whole alphabet in the movie....but to no avail. My son was not even thrilled with the movie itself (compared to their 123). He looks bored and does a lot of yawning to this. He'd ask for his WTP 123 instead. They just touched on very few letters, which doesn't even emphasize on them well. The Leap Frog Letter Factory is so much better. I would not recommend this especially for beginners. They might think that's all what the alphabet is about. Don't get this. Get the Leap Frog's version instead. But if your child adores Winnie the Pooh so much, get the 123 instead. A 3-star for some great credits like the animations & sounds.
