Gotta get up,

I'm gonna see
a friend of mine ♪
He's round and he's fuzzy ♪
I love him because
he's just Pooh Bear ♪
Winnie the Pooh Bear ♪
Lookin' for fun,
chasin' some honeybees ♪
Pooh Bear,
I know he's out there ♪
Rumbly, tumbly ♪
Climbin' a honey tree ♪
Fun never ends for us,
we're so adventurous ♪
At least every now
and again ♪
And when we're alone
and there's nobody home ♪
It's nice to be able
to count on a friend ♪
Like Pooh Bear,
Winnie the Pooh Bear ♪
Wherever you go ♪
Oh, won't you
take me, please? ♪
Pooh Bear,
I got to be there ♪
It's me and it's you ♪
My silly old
Winnie the Pooh ♪
Oh, bother.
Oof!
Ouch!
Why, this is perfect.
Piglet will know just what
to do with whatever this is.
And when he figures it out,
we'll be even better friends.
- Nah, it's gotta be higher.
- No, lower.
- Nah, over here.
- No, over here.
D-D-Don't you think
it should be over
Piglet, my friend,
it belongs right here.
No, Piglet, it belongs
on this wall.
But the light's all wrong there.
Yeah? Well, the dark's
all wrong over there.
Oh! Watch out!
Come in.
Hello, Piglet,
my very best friend.
Why, hello, Pooh Bear.
That is a very interesting shirt
you're wearing today.
E-E-Excuse me, Pooh,
but what's that?
Oh! This is a surprise
for you.
Surprise!
It's a friendship gift.
Why, thank you, very much, Pooh.
You're very welcome, Piglet.
A friendship gift?
Well, well!
That's very thoughtful of Pooh.
Ooh!
Very considerable, I'm sure.
Uh, what'd you give him?
Why, nothing.
Nothing?
Oh, no. Pooh doesn't expect me
to give him anything.
All the more reason
to give him something grand.
Oh, dear.
You just don't understand,
Piglet.
The gift has to be
from the heart.
But Pooh loves honey
more than anything,
and his tummy is very close
to his heart.
It just ain't enough, kiddo.
If you're determined to show
Pooh how much you like him,
by giving him honey
Then you gotta give him
lots of honey.
But this is all
the honey I have.
Not to worry.
You just stick with us.
Great idea, bunny boy!
We'll get Piglet's honey
straight from the bee's mouth.
- How's you ever think of it?
- Oh, it was simple.
I just thought like a bear.
Um, e-e-excuse me,
but one of the bees
won't give me any honey.
Just ask them nicely.
Do we have to do
everything for him?
King me.
Hut, two, three!
Hut, two, three.
Hut, two, three.
- Halt!
- F-F-For you.
For me? Oh!
Oh.
Oh!
Honey for Pooh!
Uh-oh!
Aren't you forgetting something?
W-W-What?
The honeypot, the honeypot.
Oh, d-d-dear.
Yow!
Oh, m-m-my.
How should we get
Pooh's present now?
No problem, Piglet!
We'll just think like a bear.
We'll borrow some.
Honey, boy?
- Left, left.
- A little more to the right.
Maybe it was
a little more to the left.
I think you're right.
No, left.
Okay, ten pots
from Kanga. Check.
Seven from Rabbit. Check.
One yo-yo from Roo?
Yech! Uncheck.
Okay, any more honey, bunny boy?
Ha-ha! Voilà!
Oh!
My!
Oh, dear.
I've ruined Pooh's
friendship gift.
What am I going to do now?
The only thing to do, Piglet.
Get more honey.
Where am I gonna get more honey?
It's all broken.
That's easy!
The land of milk and honey.
My mum used to read
to me about that place
when I was just a kitten.
But where do we find
this magical place?
Why, in the jungle, Piglet.
We just follow the trail of the
most dangerous adventures.
Uh, must we have
dangerous adventures?
Oh, posilutely!
How else do we know we're headed
in the right direction.
You're right!
We leave at dawn.
- Well, which way do we go?
- That way!
But that's where
all the jungle seems to be.
He's right.
Let's go!
We're well on our way
to wherever we're going ♪
But that's neither
here nor there ♪
'Cause when we arrive,
we're certain to find ♪
- A gift beyond compare ♪
- That's right, bunny boy!
We're off to a river
to hither or tither or yon ♪
We're headed right toward
that perfect reward ♪
That Pooh's been counting on ♪
When someone does something
like Pooh did for you ♪
There shouldn't be
anything you wouldn't do ♪
There couldn't be anywhere
you wouldn't go ♪
It's really the only way
to show ♪
- You'll go through thick ♪
- And even thin ♪
- Brave the jungle ♪
- Or take a swim ♪
- Did we tell him before? ♪
- Let's tell him again ♪
Nothing's too good
for a friend ♪
Oh, nothing's too good
for a friend ♪
You'd go through thick
and even thin ♪
You'd take a chance,
you'd jump right in ♪
- We said it before ♪
- I'll say it again ♪
Nothing's too good
for a friend ♪
- Oh, nothing's too good ♪
- I do all that I could ♪
Nothing's too good
for a friend ♪
Oh, stop! Stop!
I can't take it anymore!
You guys are a riot!
Hey, what's the big idea,
scaring us like that?
You're the funniest thing
I've ever seen.
Does this suit come
with two pair of pants?
Looks just dandy to me.
This animule's one taco short
of a combination plate.
Let me talk to him.
I have a way with strangers.
Now there, could you tell us
the way to the land
of milk and honey?
Say that again!
I said, could you tell us
the way to the land
of milk and honey?
The land of milk and honey!
The land of milk and honey!
Heee!
This is This is too much!
Don't worry, Rabbit.
We'll find somebody else to ask.
Yeah, someone with
a little less sense of humor.
Piglet! Yoo-hoo! It's me!
Perhaps he's hiding
in the cupboard.
That's odd.
No Piglet.
I shall just have
a little smackerel
of something till he returns.
He'd want me to.
No honey?
No honey,
no Piglet,
and no honey.
Hmm.
Something strange is going on.
But we must ask directions.
Yeah, remember what happened
when you asked old laughing boy.
That was a hyena.
This is a band of monkeys.
One and two
Excuse me.
Could I ask you something?
Sure! You have a request?
Chattanooga Choo-Choo?
Ludwig's Fifth?
Hey! How about "The Last
Train to Clarksville"?
We can do it all, you know.
Listen! One and two!
No, wait!
All I want to know is
how to find the land
of milk and honey!
Did you say
the land of milk and honey?
Why, yes.
Take five!
Oh! Ouch!
The land of milk and honey!
The land of milk and honey!
An A-flat.
The place you're looking for
is under the volcano.
Yeah, we should have known.
These adventures always
got volcanoes in them.
Mmm! Smells sweet.
Look!
The land of milk and honey!
And I say we tunnel in.
- It's the only way.
- E-E-Excuse me.
And I say we catapults
over the walls.
- Excuse me, please?
- No, not now, Piglet.
Can't you see we're deciding
the best way inside?
Yes, and that way's tunneling.
No, it's catapulting.
Why don't we just knock?
After you, Tigger.
Oh, no, no, no, after you.
Say, that's quite a doorbell.
Oh, boy!
They must really hate salesmen.
Suddenly, getting honey for Pooh
doesn't seem
like such a good idea.
I propose we go home.
And I second it, too.
Please be f-f-friendly.
Cannibals!
Say something, Rabbit.
Me? This was Piglet's idea.
What?
I've got a
I've got a whatever it is,
and I'm not afraid to use it.
Hey! That's no cannibal!
It's a pygmy piglet!
Ooh! Ooh!
Come on out, everyone.
Oh, Great One,
you have brought the pygmies
the sacred pigtail.
You mean this?
Your people thank you
for returning this gift.
His people?
Oh, yes.
He is our king.
I am?
He am!
But I don't wanna be king.
I just wanna get some honey
for Pooh and go home.
Oh, don't be silly, Piglet.
Your people will give you
anything you want.
And 'cause we're
your bestest buddies,
they'll give us
anything we want, too.
So don't be so hasty,
Your Harness.
But I don't know how to be king.
Maybe we should just go
Nonsense!
You're the perfect ruler.
Besides, we'll do
all the talking for you.
Sure! I'll be
your prime minister,
and Rabbit here will be
your chamber maid.
Chamberlain.
Hail, oh, Great One.
Are you ready to return
the sacred tail
to its rightful place?
Only then will our precious
honey flow once more.
You mean you want me
to give up my present for Pooh?
Well, that is,
if you don't mind.
Speaking for the Great One,
the Prime Minister and I
just want to say
He's just busting to help you.
B-B-But
How will I tell Pooh that
I lost the present he gave me?
Don't worry. We can always get
it back when no one's looking.
Just relax and act kingy.
All I wanted was
a little honey for Pooh.
Rabbit!
Are you home, Rabbit?
Rabbit?
It's not like him to be
un-at home at lunchtime.
This is getting very suspicious.
Oops!
Just as I feared, no Rabbit
and no honey!
Just like at Piglet's.
Honeynapper tracks!
I must get back to my house
before they get all the honey
in the Hundred Acre Woods.
Please, you really
don't have to do that.
But you have started the honey
flowing again, oh, Mighty One.
We owe you everything.
Excuse me.
Have you seen Rabbit and Piglet,
my prime minister
and chamberlain?
Now, aren't you all just
itching to learn how to bounce?
Uh, not really, Prime Minister.
We have chores to do.
Oh, nuts.
Oh, wait a minute,
I just remembered!
The King told me that these
lessons are more important.
Yeah, that's what he said.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, well, in that case
Great! Okay, troops,
now watch me.
Bounce, two, three, four!
Bounce, two, three, four!
The King just told me
that he was very upset
that you grow carrots here.
So as your Chamberlain,
I say hands on the hoe.
Eyes on the row.
Now, plant, two, three, four.
Plant, two, three, four.
Wonderful, three, four.
Wonderful!
Oh, my.
Tigger, no!
Look what you did
to the King's carrot garden.
Well, the King told me that bouncin'
was more important than carrots.
- He did not.
- He did so.
- He did not.
- Uh-uh, did so.
- Did not.
- Did so.
- Did not.
- Did so.
Oh, my!
This isn't right at all!
Wonderful!
Absolutely wonderful!
At this rate,
my statue will be done
before Tigger's.
What are you doing, Rabbit?
Why, having my statue made.
I told them you wanted one made
of your favorite chamberlain.
Me! I knew you wouldn't mind.
And, of course, I told them you
wanted one of the Prime Minister, too.
But I don't want any statues.
Shh! They don't know that.
They love doing things for you.
But people should do nice
things for their friends
not 'cause they have to,
but because they want to.
You're not being
very good friends.
- I think it's time to go home.
- Right.
I'll just get Piglet's present.
I think I just did
a major uh-oh.
You've broken the sacred tail.
The volcano has erupted.
Please help us, oh, Great One.
M-m-me?
But we need you.
You're right,
I should speak for myself.
I may be little,
but the pygmies look up to me.
Follow me.
I said, follow me.
You tear down that statue,
and you tear down that one.
But we're such
very small animals.
Even very small animals
must stand up for what's right.
Hooray! Oh, boy!
Yippee! Wow!
Well, what do you know?
Piglet really is
the great one after all.
Guard, guard, guard, guard.
Guard, guard, guard, guard.
Honeynappers!
They shall not pass.
Who goes there?
It's us
me, Rabbit, and Tigger.
It is?
Wait.
How do I know it's me,
Rabbit, and Tigger
and not honeynappers?
I said, how do I know
it's me, Rabbit, and Tig
Hiya, buddy bear.
Did you miss us?
Oh, hello, Tigger.
How did you get past
my honeynapper traps?
- Your backdoor was open.
- Oh.
Oh, why, Pooh Bear,
you're all out of honey.
No, Piglet.
I cleverly put it
where it's safe
from honeynappers.
Right in here.
Sometimes, Pooh Bear,
you really amaze me.
Thank you, Rabbit.
Pooh, as a token
of my friendship,
I'd like
Here.
Oh, Piglet,
you didn't have
to get me anything.
Your friendship is enough.
Oh, thank you, Pooh.
But I'd hate to see it
go to waste.
Oh, it won't, Pooh.
It won't.
