Looks like we got a
southwestern blowing through.
Last time we had
a wind this hard,
it took the bark
right off the trees.
Well! By dinghy!
That crazy wind's gone
and blown my front door off.
Ha ha ha!
I can't lose that hole.
The best I ever dug.
Hey!
Gotcha!
Yaah!
Follow that hole!
Is it time? Is it time?
I think the wind has
gone home now, Tigger.
Ha ha ha! There she blows!
Attention, everyone. Ahem.
I have an announcement.
Have a bubble, long ears,
and join the fun.
Uh, no, thank you very much.
I have more important
things to do,
such as getting ready
for my lecture this evening
on "Our Friend the Lima Bean,"
which I'm sure
you'll all want to hear.
Oh!
Say, anybody seen a hole?
- A whole what?
- A whole hole, that's what.
Why are you so excited?
A hole isn't anything.
It's just nothing.
Well, it's something to me.
Nothing is something?
No! No!
This nothing
is something, and
Ah! What are you trying
to do, confuse me?
Huh. Imagine worrying about
something as silly as a hole.
Remember, everyone,
"Our Friend the Lima Bean"
tonight.
Oh, you know, Tigger,
these bubbles are very lovely,
but they don't stay
very lovely very long.
Hey. Long-lasting bubbles.
That sounds like an invention
that needs inventing.
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo!
Hmm. Must have used
too many jalapeños.
Better add a little more glue
and a lot more honey.
And a little more of this
and a dash of that
and a few of these
and one of those.
A pinch of them and
Ah. That ought to do it.
It it's incredibibble.
It's It's stupenderous!
It's It
It's even got a pooh in it.
I've got to test the
bustability of this bubble.
Success! The first
unbustable bubble!
Hoo hoo hoo hoo!
Absopolilutely
can't be pooped
I mean popped.
Uh, Tigger, if you
can't get in the bubble,
how will Pooh get out?
Ha ha ha! Why, he'll just
hee hee he'll
Say, how are you gonna
get out of there?
The same way I got in.
Right. Uh
how was that?
I was hoping you'd know.
Whoa!
Oh, d-d-dear!
Oh, where's that consarn hole?
Huh?
Yaah!
Gopher, Pooh's stuck
in a bubble.
Hmm. So he is.
Can't worry about that now.
Got to find that hole.
Here, hole. Here, boy.
Don't worry, buddy bear.
I'll unbubble you
if it's the last thing I do
before lunch.
If you want to
break something,
y-you've got to drop it.
Always works for me.
Tally ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!
Do you think it'll work?
Of course it'll work,
- or my name isn't
- Tigger!
Ha ha ha!
Exactically.
- Huh?
- I hate to complain,
but I'm getting a bit
dizzy.
A little more to your right.
Uh, your other right.
This will get that bubble
unbubbled.
I certainly hope so.
Fire!
Here, hole! Here Oh!
Look at the bright side,
Pooh boy.
If it rains, uh, uh,
you'll never need an umbreller.
You mean I'm going
to be in here forever?
There, there, Pooh.
You'll stay with me
until we can break the bubble.
Can I help you
with the cleaning, Piglet?
Certainly, Pooh.
Oh, bother.
Oh, d-d-dear.
Yipe!
I'm trying to go this way,
but the bubble wants
to go that way.
Um
Uh, Pooh, uh, perhaps Tigger
needs some help at his house?
Take a
load off your bubble,
buddy bear.
But, Tigger, I don't
want to be any
- trouble.
- Oh, ha ha ha!
No trouble at all.
Comfy?
Well
Uh, maybe you would be
happier at Rabbit's?
Bears and bubbles
and holes and gophers.
Don't they realize
that I'm trying
to bring them some culture?
Think thin, Pooh.
Hello, Rabbit.
Can I help you?
Help me? Help me?
Why, look what you've undone!
You want to help?
All right, Pooh.
I know how you can help me.
There. Now let's get it
in the tree.
When the other apples see
how wonderfully big
this apple is,
they'll grow, too.
And he'll be out of the way.
Say, that hole showed up yet?
Hmm.
Ah. I know.
I'll comb the forest
till I find that thing.
But, Rabbit, how will Pooh
come to your lecture
on heh heh
"Our Friend the Lima Bean"?
Uh, I'm afraid I can't
have him there, Piglet,
not with the way
he bangs into everything.
He's just too much trouble.
Oh, bother.
I wish I weren't
such a bother to everyone.
"Our Friend the Lima Bean."
When many lima beans
get together
and go for a swim,
this we call bean soup.
Ehh. I'm never gonna
find that hole.
Hello, Gopher.
Huh? Uh, still in there, huh?
What are you doing
hanging in a tree?
It seems to be the only
place I'm not in the way.
Uh, guess you and me are both
kind of unwelcome these days.
By crackety, don't they see?
If I could find that hole,
I'd have time
to be more sociable.
I wish I could help,
but the only hole I know of
is the one in my pocket.
Hmm? Say, you got a hole
in your pocket?
Ahem.
Uh, could I get a look at it?
By dinghy! There she is!
Ah, I've been looking
all over for that thingy.
Oh? I didn't know
it was yours.
Well, Pooh Bear, you're in luck.
That's just the hole we
need to get you out of there.
Stick it on the side
of that bubble.
It works.
Oh, bother.
Well, there's the best
one I ever dug.
Heh heh heh heh.
Yes, Piglet, the garbanzo bean
is a member of
the lima bean family,
but not the immediate family.
Now, who can tell us
which is the most
intelligent of all beans?
Piglet! Tigger! Rabbit!
Gopher found his missing hole.
Yep.
Good as new.
Pooh, the bubble's gone.
Yes, Piglet.
Or as I was saying,
Gopher found his hole
in my pocket.
Buddy bear! You're you!
Of course, Tigger.
I always was me.
I was just me inside a bubble.
But we treated you differently.
Yeah. We kinda forgot
about you.
Well, that's all right.
I'm back now.
Hey! Ahem.
What about me?
Doesn't anyone want to see
this baby in action?
Please, Gopher,
no more hole silliness.
Silliness, hmm?
I was just about to discuss
the social life of the lima
Aah!
bean.
Ha! Now what do you think?
Hmm?
Ah, I have a whole new
outlook on
holes.
Gangway! Hoo hoo hoo hoo!
Ha ha ha ha!
I'm gonna bust every
ski jumping record there is.
I'm gonna ski
where no tigger's skied before.
But, uh, Tigger,
Tigger, how can you ski
When there's no snow?
No snow! Ha ha ha ha!
Why, of course there's
No snow?
Hey, what gives here?
We ought to be swimming in it.
We ought to be slathering in it.
Why, today's the first
day of winter.
Isn't it?
I don't know, Tigger.
My watch stopped.
There. As clean as a whistle.
Hey, bunny boy! Yoo-hoo!
Anybody home?
What are you doing?
Well, we're trying to find out
when winter is, long ears.
And you're the only one
with a calendar, Rabbit.
Why, ahem, oh, I, uh,
yes. So I am.
Ahem. Well, let's see.
As of first thing this morning,
today is Groundhog Day.
Groundhog Day?
Groundhog Day?
Groundhog Day?
Oh, it's Groundhog Day.
Uh, what's a groundhog day?
Ha ha ha ha!
Why, everybody knows
that, buddy bear.
It's a a uh
Well, it's the day a groundhog
comes out of his hole.
Precisively.
And if he sees his shadow,
that means there will be
six more weeks of winter.
But if he doesn't,
spring starts tomorrow.
Exac Spring?
Uh, but what happened to winter?
It's gone. Over. We missed it.
Christmas, too?
According to the calendar,
Christmas, too.
But the only way to be
completely sure winter is over
is to find a groundhog
and check with him.
Hmm? Groundhog?
Who are you calling a groundhog?
I'm a gopher, not a groundhog.
What are you trying to do,
insult my ancestors?
Hmph.
Yaah!
Now where would we
find a groundhog
to see if spring's here?
Oh! D-D-Dear.
As a very small
and timid animal,
I have enough trouble
being just a piglet.
Perhaps someone else could
Nonsense. You're a perfect
groundhog.
Do you see your shadow, Piglet?
Oh, please,
please see your shadow.
I want to go skiing.
Actually, I don't see a thing.
No shadow?
Hoo hoo! Winter's over!
It's gone!
Oh, hooray!
You're a hero, Groundpiglet,
for telling us spring is here.
- Yippee!
- Hooray for Piglet!
Hooray for Piglet!
Hoo hoo hoo hoo!
Come on, everyone. We have
to get ready for spring.
There's a lot to do.
Like what, Rabbit?
Oh, a great many things,
such as, uh, airing out
our houses
and spring cleaning.
And most important of all,
my garden.
The secret to great
gardening, Piglet,
is knowing when to plant.
And, thanks to you,
I know that when is now.
All my friends are certainly
very happy with me,
and I suppose they should be.
After all, I I did
tell them winter was over.
Hmm. Unusual weather
we're having this spring.
Oh, bother.
Spring?
Groundhog?
Ooh, that Piglet.
Piglet, you said
you didn't see your shadow.
You told us winter was over.
Oh, dear. I did, didn't I?
We prepared for spring.
There should be fields
full of flowers,
not 6 feet of snow.
Ruined! Ruined!
And it's all your fault.
I'm sorry you have to be
out in weather like this.
Ah-choo!
Gesundheit.
Oh, uh, what's this?
Calendar pages?
Why, it's it's
It's only November.
It's nowhere near Groundhog Day.
Hmm. Piglet wasn't quite
as wrong as I'd thought.
Piglet? Oh, my.
I'd better apologize to him.
Piglet. Piglet
I've gone
to find a real groundhog
who can tell me
when spring really is.
He must be kidding.
PS: I'm
I'm n-not kidding.
Piglet?
Piglet?
Piglet!
Groundhog!
Oh, groundhog!
Groundhog.
Calling all groundhogs.
I don't remember saying that.
Perhaps they just can't hear me
under all this snow.
Groundhog.
Oh, d-d-dear.
I think the groundhogs
must have flown south
for the winter.
Perhaps I should try
to find one later,
like some time next spring.
Oh, where could he be?
There you are, Piglet.
You shouldn't have come
out here all alone.
Piglet?
Oh, no!
You're
frozen solid.
I have to get you home quickly
and warmed up.
He's so cold,
he can't even speak.
Here's some hot chocolatey.
He's sweating up
a storm. He's
He's sweating away to nothing!
He's melting!
He Get a bucket!
We have to save him!
Tigger, you're stepping
in Piglet!
Oh, poor Piglet.
Ohh.
He's gonna faint!
Tigger!
Piglet! Piglet!
How do you feel?
Well, I feel very badly
for saying it was spring
in the middle of winter.
What? That?
Oh, don't worry about that.
It was all my fault!
But But I was the groundhog.
But my calendar.
Snow. Spring. Winter.
The pages. Ohh!
I never should have asked you
to be a groundhog
in the first place.
Do you understand?
I think.
Can you ever forgive me?
Of course, Rabbit.
Did you hear that, Piglet?
Piglet forgives me.
Piglet!
Piglet, you're unmelted!
Piglet! You're all right!
Yes. Uh, thank you.
Oh, no!
If that's Piglet,
then who is this?
Kinda resembles Eeyore,
uh, around the eyes.
Heh heh. That was
just a pile of snow.
Oh. I see.
Uh, excuse me, Rabbit,
but there is something
I've been wondering.
If it isn't spring
and it isn't winter
and it isn't Groundhog Day,
what day is today?
It's November 13th, Piglet.
November 13th?
November 13th?
Do you realize what this means?
It's Porkypine Day!
And if a porkypine
sees his uncle Ralph
or a teakettle
on Porkypine Day
then you'll
have to eat nothing
but stewed vegebibbles
for three months.
Three months!
Heh heh. We We got to
find us a porkypine.
