"Piglet's Big Movie" is a 2003 animated feature produced by the DisneyToon Studios in Tokyo, Japan and released by Walt Disney Pictures and Buena Vista Distribution. It is based upon the characters in the "Winnie-the-Pooh" books written by A. A. Milne. In this film, Piglet is ashamed of being small but he eventually learns that it's not so bad. "Piglet's Big Movie" continues to air on Playhouse Disney.

The three flashback sequences are the first adaptations of original A.A. Milne stories since "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" and "Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore". Edited to make Piglet the hero of the stories and to conform to the characters' idiosyncrasies as Disney has portrayed them, they nevertheless retain much of Milne's original plot. In this movie, Pooh changes the name of "Pooh Corner" to "Pooh and Piglet Corner", something that he was originally going to do, but the name did not sound small and more like a corner, which it was. Besides the Carly Simon songs, Sherman Brothers music is also featured.
