You probably won't get

Desert?
Water. Water.
Honey. Honey.
It's the end, I tell you.
We're lost,
fried in the desert sun.
Uh, excuse me, uh
Scorched in the searing sands.
We're Whoo!
parched in
a waterless wasteland.
We're We're
Does anyone have a towel?
- Hello!
- Hello!
Is anybody here?
No!
Excuse us. Pardon. Say, there.
Say! Whoa, there,
you prairie doggies.
I believe you're expecting us.
We're in the play, you know.
Better you than us.
Run for your lives!
A band of horse thieves
is coming to town,
- and we're clearing out!
- You'd best do the same.
They're mighty ornery.
Oh, dear.
Perhaps we should
tell the sheriff.
Consider yourself told!
Congratulations.
You're now the official sheriff.
Me? Sheriff?
Yep. And whoever's sheriff
has to stop them horse thieves.
Really? Where does it
say that?
Right there in The Legend
of Sheriff Piglet.
- It's you.
- Me?
I see lots of horses
but no thieves.
You don't get the picture
here, fellas.
We're not horse thieves.
We're horse thieves
horses who steal things.
Comprendo?
Oh.
Well, heh heh, in that case,
we'll just run along.
Hate to break it to you, chum,
but we've got us
a little problem.
Ah, you do?
See, that badge
makes you sheriff,
and sheriffs and horse
thieves don't get along.
Right?
And since I'm Nasty Jack,
the world's meanest
horse thief
I'm gonna have to trounce you.
Trounce?
Is that anything
like b-b-bounce?
Nah. Let me show you.
Now that's bounce.
That's trounce.
Would you have to trounce him
if he weren't wearing
the sheriff badge?
Probably not.
It's stuck.
I guess it's sheriff
trouncing time.
I don't suppose
you'd be satisfied
with a hug instead?
Mm, nah.
Yaah!
Hmph. Doesn't like hugs, huh?
Hmm. How nasty can you get?
Well, I say we stand and fight.
I can take this here villian
a thing or three. Why, I
You got no chance to stand and fight,
you better stay in bed ♪
- He'll trounce you left ♪
- He'll trounce you right ♪
And tap dance on your head ♪
Uh, p-perhaps we should
try to hide. Uh
You can try your best to hide,
but remember what we said ♪
- He'll trounce you left ♪
- He'll trounce you right ♪
And tap dance on your head ♪
Run! Run! We got to run!
You may think that you can run,
but Jack's a thoroughbred ♪
- He'll trounce you left ♪
- He'll trounce you right ♪
And tap dance on your head ♪
Aah!
What's the matter with him?
Hoo, well,
obviously doesn't
appreciate fine music.
Aah!
So, buckaroo,
might you be the proprietor
of this establishment?
Estab Estab
No, no, no, no.
Then you must be a friend
of the sheriff.
And since I hate sheriffs
Okey-dokey, boys, what'll it be?
Root beers and banana
splits all around. Pronto!
What? No cherry?
Uh, let me answer that
by saying
help!
- Rabbit's in trouble.
- Oh, please!
Oh, what should we do, Pooh?
You're sheriff, Piglet.
You have to give us orders.
Be reasonable!
Well, then I order you
to think of something.
Uh, p-p-please.
Think, think. Think.
I got it!
I'll go in the front door
and keep him occupied
while you two go
in the back door
and rescue old long ears.
- What'll I do?
- Not the whipped cream!
Uh, oh, uh, ha ha ha ha,
you stay here looking sheriffy,
and, uh, uh, when we're all set,
you give the signal to go.
I'll try.
Go? Uh
Go? Go?
Uh, go.
Now that's how you
make a banana split.
Ready? Uh, g-go.
Ki-yi-yippee-whoopee-yay!
Ha ha ha ha!
I'm gonna rope you, sonny,
if you don't drop that bunny.
Whatever you say.
Thank you.
Isn't this working out nicely?
No, not really.
We're not going to
enjoy this, are we?
Pardon. Excuse us.
Uh, pardon.
Well, that didn't work.
Okay, hang on to your
horse feathers.
Now you're really
going to see something.
Ha!
Ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha!
Ha yourself.
Ready?
Pull. Pull.
Pull!
Thanks for uncorking me,
though I kind of
liked it in there.
Help! Wait a minute!
Wait a minute!
Will you stop it!
Let go of me!
Hey, that's my tail.
Oh, no! Come on!
Help me!
This is t-t-terrible.
Could be worse.
Yee!
See?
Hey, boys,
look who just dropped in.
- Ha ha ha ha!
- Oh, d-d-dear.
Got any 3s?
Go fish.
What?
Hey, sheriff,
it's trouncing time.
Freeze,
if you please.
Aha!
What are you?
I am the Masked Bear,
and this is my faithful steed.
Hello.
You are gonna try and stop me?
What you got in there
for brains?
Stuffing, actually.
You better reach
for it, fur face.
I got me a carton of ice cream,
and I'm not afraid to use it.
Whoops.
The fearless bear
who wears the mask ♪
Has never run
from any task ♪

faithful steed ♪

Now I got you.
Oh
Yaah!
Ooh!
Go on. G-Go on, shoo.
Ha ha ha! Now that's
what I call sheriffing.
Aw, I couldn't have done it
without the Masked Bear
and his faithful, uh, steed?
Why, they're they're gone.
Ooh, who was that masked bear?
Hi-yo, Eeyore!
Away!
Oh, bother.
I'm gonna have to do something
about that Masked Bear.
Pooh, what are you doing?
According to the play,
it is the job of the sheriff
to clean up the town.
We're helping.
Yucch. Pooey.
I'll bet that Masked Bear
and his faithful steed
ain't sweeping no sidewalks.
I'm not so sure.
You know, once you
get used to it,
this sheriff job
isn't all that hard.
Sure,
as long as the Masked Bear is around.
Ah. The Masked Bear.
Telegram for the Masked Bear.
Telegram for the Masked Bear.
The Masked Bear, uh,
isn't present presently.
But we'll be happy
to tell him when we see him.
Okey-dokey.
It says "Help!"
Hmm. Some sheriff.
Oh, I'd better get him out.
I believe this is a job
for the Masked Bear
and his faithful steed.
If you say so.
Which, um, reminds me,
Eeyore and I have to go, uh
find some honey.
Odd. How can you think of
food at a time like this?
I practice.
Aha!
Aha yourself!
Come on, Piglet,
this is embarrassing.
Yaah!
See? Hoo hoo hoo hoo!
That wasn't so hard, was it?
Ow!
What was that?
It's for you.
Hmm. There's a note.
Oh, well, it says, uh
It's easy. It says
Anybody could Ha ha!
Christopher Robin!
Yes?
Uh, w-would you read this to us?
It's to Piglet,
- and it says "Dear Sheriff"
- Owl, Gopher: Sheriff.
Be on the street
at sundown ♪
We're gonna
have a showdown ♪
The Masked Bear
And his faithful steed.
Are all tied up
and can't be freed ♪
So come prepared
to meet your fate ♪
Sincerely, Jack.
And don't be late!
I just remembered.
I have a very
important appointment
ha ha under my bed.
But, Pigalet, you have
to go face Nasty Jack.
Why?
Because the townfolks
are depending on you.
Waah!
Oh, come on, old Piglet,
old partner, old buddy.
This showdown won't be so bad.
Wouldn't be so bad?
His name is Nasty Jack,
not Friendly Jack
or Perfectly Wonderful Jack.
No. It's Nasty Jack.
I'm not going out there alone.
But, Piglet,
what about the play?
Uh, is there
anything in the play
about the Masked Bear
saving me in the end?
As a matter of fact, there is.
Well, if you're sure, okay.
Ha ha ha ha!
What did I tell you?
You look like
a million buckaroos.
Now you can really
stand up for yourself.
Not necessarily.
Well?
Mr. Nasty Jack, sir,
as Sheriff of Rickety Gulch,
I place you under arrest,
if you don't mind.
Seems there ain't nobody here
thinks you can do that, Sheriff.
I can, too. Besides,
the Masked Bear will s
will
save me in the end.
Hooray!
Yipe!
Waiting for
the Masked Bear, huh?
Sing it, boys.
The old Masked Bear's
hands are tied ♪
He'll never get
to say goodbye ♪
And Piglet,
he's with Nasty Jack ♪
No chance he'll be
coming back ♪
Last thing
that he'll ever do ♪
Is wonder what
became of Pooh ♪
Excuse me, but
Oh, ha ha ha!
A music lover.
Any last requests?
Just one. Do you know
how to untie us?
No, but if you hum a few bars,
we'll try to fake it.
Nothing's going to stop us now.
We're coming, Piglet!
I really hope the Masked
Bear gets here soon.
Ohh, bother!
Better make your move, Sheriff.
Whoa!
Hmm. Not a bad move.
I really, really hope
the Masked Bear gets here soon.
Here comes the Masked Bear
with his faithful steed ♪
Once again
they're on their way ♪
To help a friend in need ♪
They'll be here
in the nick of time ♪
Eager to assist ♪
Oh, Jack is in
for some surprise ♪
Oops.
Looks like they missed.
What?
That's not in the play.
Here we go again.
Them's the breaks, binky.
Looks like you're
all out of help.
No Masked Bear,
no friends, no nothing.
It's just you and me.
Uh, maybe,
Mr. Nasty Jack,
But even though
I didn't want to be,
I'm sheriff,
and a sheriff has
to protect people
and be polite
and and clean up
the town
and, uh, and stop bad guys
from doing no-gooding
around here
and, uh, so there.
You done?
Yes.
Then it's definitely
trouncing time.
Ooh!
Now look what you done!
The badge fell off!
You know what this means?
I'm not sheriff anymore?
You're not sheriff anymore!
So I can go now?
Aw, sure, fine.
That's just peachy, isn't it?
Now I can't even trounce you!
What in the blue blazes
am I supposed to do?
Maybe, uh, you
c-could be the sheriff?
Honest? You mean it?
I always wanted to be sheriff.
All rightie, pilgrim,
I'm the sheriff now,
and I'm really gonna
clean up this town.
Comprendo?
And to show our appreciation,
we hereby present you
with a Rickety Gulch
genuine hero award. Yep.
Hooray!
Hi-yo, Eeyore!
Away!
Oh, bother.
What's the rush?
The play's over.
Besides, we're probably headed
in the wrong direction.
And so the legend
has been told ♪
Of Sheriff Piglet,
brave and bold ♪
But another story comes to mind,
and I do believe
we still have time.
It's all about a gopher
and an owl.
Ooh. Well, I say.
