(Cover) - EN Movies - Tom Kenny, who voices Rabbit in the new Winnie the Pooh movie, expects an adult following for the film.

The bosses behind the forthcoming 2-D animated movie refused to shoot it in 3-D or use CGI, and Tom believes it's a smart move as it taps into nostalgic adults who have grown up watching the bear's big screen exploits. The 49-year-old actor wasn't surprised to hear that the film played to a packed out college audience recently.

"I think when you start college, that's the first time that the world is starting to get a little serious," he told Cinema Blend. "And I think it's the first time where people get nostalgic for the stuff that gave them that warm fuzzy feeling when they were a kid. You're leaving home, you're living in a place by yourself, that stuff of your childhood suddenly assumes a significance that it didn't have before because you're moving away from it. I think that's, obviously that's the reason why Toy Story has everyone in tears. It's amazing, And that's what these guys do, that's what Disney does."

Tom admits he was crying alongside other male adults while watching Toy Story 3, which features the tear jerker scene of a teenage boy realising that he has to give up his childhood toys. He thinks animated films can often be more tear-jerking than their live counterparts.

"It's cool that animation has the power to do that, sometimes more than live action does, I think. There's something about the drawings," he explained. "There's something about those characters and the fact that they're not humanoid in appearance that, I don't know, in some ways it makes them more evocative or deeper or something." (C) Cover Media
