Trivia:

Originally slated as Direct-To-Video, this feature was upgraded to theatrical release.

Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Early in the movie, Tigger complains that his family portrait is ruined. The portrait appears to show two "adult" Tiggers each side of Tigger himself. However, in The Tigger Movie (2000) it was firmly established that Tigger has no family.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Winnie the Pooh:[narrating] This is one of my favorite once-upon-a-times, although I'm not quite sure which time it was once upon. But it had been so nice and summery in the Hundred Acre Wood and the sunshine was as warm as a blanket. And the streams were gurgling happily. As - as happily as a tumbly full of honey, hoo, which is very happy. But all that changed when... the stranger came.

Meet Lumpy, One of The Cutest Member of the 'Elephant' Family

I've rarely liked most of the Disney spinoffs and sequels but to me the 'Winnie the Pooh' sequels are an exception. I've only seen the delightful 'Piglet Movie' and now I've had the joy to watch 'Pooh's Heffalump Movie'. I miss the handdrawn Disney movies nowadays and it is great to see that Disney still makes such quality stuff even though that's rare thanks to nonsense like 'High School Musical' dominating the franchise. In 'Pooh's Heffelump Movie', the animation is vivacious as ever but where it succeeds most is with its adorable characters who have maintained their essence and consistency. The whole gang, that is Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Kanga, Rabbit, Roo and Iyor are here. The comic situations are hilarious and the story is fun too. It has heart and is told in an endearing way that will capture children's attention (yes, there is a lesson to be learned too) but adults can enjoy it just as much with their kids. The new character, Lumpy, has got to be one of the cutest 'member' of the elephant family. But, Lumpy isn't merely some cute caricature. He is brilliantly written and voiced as a real character, that of a curious playful child seeking for adventure with a new friend. The score is splendid and it is always a pleasure to hear Carly Simon's beautiful voice. This little movie is neatly packed in a solid 75 minutes but it doesn't feel rushed at all. One of the last few underrated little gems of Disney.
