The homogenized Disney version
of Pooh Bear is so firmly established by now that it has virtually supplanted
the classic A.A. Milne/Ernest Shephard renditions of the Thousand Acre
Wood characters, introduced in a series of British children's books first
published in the 1920s.
There are two stories on this video.
The first deals with Pooh trying to find a way to reach the honey in a
tall tree without the bees discovering what he is up to. The second story
unfolds as Pooh visits rabbit for lunch. There, he eats so much that he
can't get out of rabbits front door. He must wait until he loses weight
so that Christopher Robin and friends can pull him out.
Pooh and his friends are spending
it inChristopher Robin's attic. Two stories: "A Knight to Remember," which
finds the timid Piglet transported to a magical kingdom, where he fights
a dreadful dragon, and "Rock-a-Bye Pooh Bear," in which Piglet has a nightmare
and is afraid to go back to sleep. That leaves it up to Pooh, Rabbit, and
Tigger to show how bad dreams don't have to come true.
