Although I longed for the genuine Edward Bear to step forward and come alive from Shepard's drawings, Lisa Conley, who played Winnie, did not let me be too disappointed. Her facial expressions were charmingly Poohish to a great degree, and her snores were unmistakably from the bear himself. Eeyore, the old grey donkey, played by Divinna Snyder, was also portrayed convincingly. She spoke her lines with the exact tone of lovable melancholy that Milne gave to the original Eeyore...

"In Emily Dickinson," Morrison explains, "Lorene could identify with someone as lonely as herself." Eventually Lorene went for skin treatment and returned to school...
...Bathed in blinding white light and shaded in deep shadows, the face of Nina Pens Rode (Gertrud) is studied gracefully, though perhaps at too great length, in her quiet confrontations with the other characters. The camera dwells also on physical gestures. Dreyer seems to sense--correctly--that they, like facial expressions, well reveal their author's state of mind...
