Movie Reviews of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (The Friendship Edition)
Movie Review: HEFFALUMPS AND WOOZLES-BEWARE!!
Summary: 5 Stars
The film is actually composed of material from three previously released animated shorts:
Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree (1966)
Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day (1968)
Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too! (1974)
Also included:
Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore (1983)
WTP and the Honey Tree (sp HUNNY)
This is the first episode and here we have Pooh visiting an unenthusiastic Rabbit who never enjoys Pooh's company because of his amazing appetite: Pooh's exercise song-"When I up down touch the ground
Puts me in the mood-
Up down touch the ground-
In the mood-
for Food!"
Pooh, predictably, eats up every last "smackerel" of Rabbit's hunny and finds he is now so tubby he is unable to leave Rabbit's house as he cannot squeeze through the hole!
The animals run to get Christoper Robin, who, after some consideration, decides Pooh must go on a crash diet. This experiment lasts several agonizing days for both Pooh and Rabbit, who tries in vain to disguise this plump bear and sits in his chair in despair.
Eventually Pooh returns to his former "svelte" state and emerges from Rabbit's hole with such force he is flung into the next page of the storybook and finds himself in the hole of a hunny tree!
WTP and the Blustery Day
It is Wednesday, or WINDSDAY in the Hundred Acre Wood, and little Piglet is industriously sweeping fallen leaves in front of his house-"It's not the leaves that are going, it's the leaves that are coming!" and Pooh comes by just in time to catch hold of Piglet's scarf to keep him from being carried away in the stiff breeze.
Kanga and Roo hop by and Roo begs Pooh: "Can I fly Piglet next?"
The Blustery Day turns into an even more Blustery Night and Pooh hears a Noise. He opens his door to investigate and hears the Noise again-this time he decides (being a bear of Very Little Brain) to invite the Noise in.
Here we have a joyous introduction to Tigger, T-I-Double-Ger Tigger!
The Wonderful Thing about Tiggers-
Is Tiggers are wonderful Things-
Their Tops are made out of Rubber-
Their Bottoms are madde out of Springs-
They're Bouncy Flouncy Bouncy Flouncy Fun Fun Fun Fun Fun!
But the most Wonderful thing about Tiggers is I'm the Only One! I'm-the only one!
Tigger, after trying Pooh's hunny and finding Tiggers DON'T like it, warns Pooh to beware of Heffalumps and Woozles...
Tigger departs leaving Pooh alone to patrol his house guarding against these unknown but scary sounding beasts.
Eventually he gets tired and falls asleep dreaming of Heffalumps and Woozles clomping, tromping and trumpeting through his head in a wonderful sequence reminiscent of the Pink Elephant part in Dumbo.
The next day the 100 Acre Wood is flooded and Piglet gets swept away on the water clutching a chair. Eventually Piglet is rescued and the friends all meet with Christopher Robin to help Owl find a home to replace the one he lost in the storm. Eeyore ambles over and takes the group to Owl's new home, which turns out to be Piglet's!
No one says anything and Piglet generously allows Owl to have his former home and Pooh puts his arm around Piglet and invites him to move into his house.
This touching episode ends with a party for the heroes of the day and everyone happy and no one homeless.
WTP and Tigger Too
Tigger's bounce gets on Rabbit's nerves and the friends try to lose him on a trip into the Woods. Rabbit winds up getting lost and scared and Tigger rescues him. Tigger, resuming his bounce, bounces himself into a tree and elicits the help of Sebastian Cabot, the Narrator, to Narrate him down, which Cabot obligingly does, by tipping the book and letting Tigger slide down to the next page of the book.
The last episode is WTP and a Day for Eeyore
Eeyore's Birthday and he thinks no one remembers it. But the gang gets together and eventually give Eeyore his gifts, not in their original condition (Pooh eats all the hunny in the pot which was his gift and Piglet pops the balloon which was his gift) but gratefully accepted nonetheless. Here we are introduced to the new game of Poohsticks.
This is really excellent animation and storytelling, with the Disney stalwart Sterling Holloway bringing Pooh to life with his wonderful voice (Cheshire Cat) and Paul Winchell as Tigger.
The last feature Disney oversaw personally (with the exception of the last short) and a fine one it is.
Pooh is an indispensable addition to any childhood and the animators have a distinct Ernest Shepard flavor to their work, which adds even more to this great classic.
"Somewhere in the 100 Acre Woods a little boy and his bear will always be playing."
Paraphrasing from the book, after Christoper Robin goes away to school and has to leave Pooh behind.
