20131104:
I absolutely love the songs in this movie! Of course, the animation is fun to watch too.

Having eaten all of Rabbit's honey, Pooh gets stuck on his way out.
Making the best of the situation, Rabbit decorates Pooh's bottom.
If you're an adult and love to watch children's animation, then you'll love this movie. As for showing it to your kids, perhaps the only thing scary in the movie are the heffalumps and woozles.

Instant Comments:
B: I've probably seen this before, but I can't say for sure...
B: Intro is presumably Christopher Robin's room with all the toys.
B: Oh narrator says it is Christopher Robin's room.
B: Oh is this the first time this theme song for Winnie the Pooh?
B: Sanderz.
B: This up down all around song is classic, which I believe appears in a compilation...
A: "Oh bother."
A: Haha. Attached to it.
B: Oh as Eeyore swishes his tail I noticed the animals have stiching, perhaps not Pooh Bear though.

Piglet sweeps up the leaves in front of his house.
A, B: "I'm a little black rain cloud of course."
B: Oh Pooh knows how to spell. He spelled out "suspect"
A, B: "Tut tut, it looks like rain."
A, B: "There must be somebody there, because somebody must have said 'Nobody'"; B: hehe Pooh makes an inference
B: Haha. A small helping.
B: Oh no, how rude of Pooh to consume all of Rabbit's honey
B: Oh pooh has stitching on his bottom (seen in Rabbit's mirror)
B: Hehe Gopher tells Pooh he should fix his speech impediment (when to us, it is Gopher who has a speech impediment)
B: Don't feed the bear
B: Laid a seagull egg by mistake?
B: Oh wow, Pooh meets Tigger for the first time.
B: Hehe reflection
B: "You mean elephants and weasels". "Thats what I said, heffalumps and woozles" (Oh, I didnt realize this)
A: The tune to "Heffalumps and Woozles" plays on the organ
A: Pooh treats his mirror image and Tigger's mirror image as separate entities.
B: When Pooh turned (after directing his reflection to go a certain direction) his reflection turned the wrong way. That is Pooh turned counter-clockwise so his reflection should turn clockwise but it also turned counter-clockwise.

Pooh, holding on to Piglet's thread, gets pulled through a home Eeyore has built.
B: "Help! PppPiglet (me)"
B: Hehe. "Tell them it's your house Piglet"
A: Oh I see. Tigger tells Pooh about "Heffalumps and Woozles"
A: "I almost bounced clear out of the book."; B: Hehe I love all these moments where the fourth wall is broken, and this one is by far the best thus far ("clear out of the book")
B: I started falling asleep. Everybody came to help Tigger down. I'm not sure what happens next
C: Today I went to see the remaining part from my previous comment on 20220723. Everyone is helping at around the 67 minute mark with about 7 minutes left. The narrator helps Tigger down. He tilts Tigger onto the text and Tigger slides down the text to the ground.
C: Rabbit holds Tigger to the promise he made to not bounce if he were helped down. Tigger is sad, everyone shares the sadness, and Rabbit releases the promise.

Nostalgia:
As a kid, I owned several books from Disney's Storyteller series and to accompany the books are read-along cassettes. In any case, among the books is Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree (523B).


When I was older, I occasionally listened to the first verse of "Us Two," a poem by A.A. Milne, whenever using Encarta Encyclopedia ('95, '97) and it has since been lodged in my memory:
Wherever I am, there's always Pooh,
There's always Pooh and Me.
Whatever I do, he wants to do,
"Where are you going today?" says Pooh:
"Well, that's very odd 'cos I was too.
Let's go together," says Pooh, says he.
"Let's go together," says Pooh.
Finally, I remember watching The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh from time to time on ABC when I was older.

It's Tigger!
