Goofs

After Piglet, Pooh, and Rabbit lose Tigger in the mist, the surroundings of the sand pit on page 123 are the fallen tree and little trees. Then when Piglet, Pooh, and Rabbit return to the sand pit, there are more bigger trees and bushes within the pit's surroundings and there's a bigger tree where the fallen tree was.

Quotes

[first lines]
Narrator: This could be the room of any small boy, but it just happens to belong to a boy named Christopher Robin. Like most small boys, Christopher Robin has toy animals to play with, and they all live together in a wonderful world of make-believe. But his best friend is a bear called Winnie the Pooh, or Pooh, for short. Now, Pooh had some very unusual adventures, and they all happened right here in the Hundred-Acre Wood.

Crazy Credits

Alternate Versions

The version played on the Disney channel has an alternate final third than the theatrical version. In the Disney channel version, the "Tigger too" and "we say goodbye" segments are deleted, and they are replaced with the fourth "Winnie the Pooh" short, which wasnt previously included, "A day for Eeyore". This means it abruptly goes from Piglet saying "and Piglet too!" at the end of the "Blustery Day" segment, to the begining of "A day for Eeyore", and the film ends with that short. Previously, the scene continued, and Pooh introduced "Tigger too", which was followed by the "we say goodbye" sequence", and then the film ends.

User Reviews

It doesn't get any cuter than this...

This feature film actually consisted of three previous half hour shorts==the first three Pooh toons made by Disney Studios. All are standout films because they are spectacularly better than all the many later incarnations of Pooh. While the Saturday morning cartoons and all the made for Disney Channel things were of decent quality, they just don't come close to this film in quality of animation (with amazingly detailed line drawings), voices and style. It just doesn't get any better than having narration by Sebastian Cabot as well Paul Winchell and Sterling Holloway as Tigger and Pooh. And as far as style goes, I love how the stories literally fall from the pages of the A. A. Milne books as well as Tigger talking to the narrator! It's all so adorable--it's about as cute as you can get without inducing nausea! A wonderful treat for kids and adults, this is a must-see offering from Disney and only a die-hard curmudgeon could not love this film.
