My silly old
Winnie the Pooh ♪
Eh, what's this all about?
I hope it's nothing b-b-bad.
Look, I can touch my nose.
Quiet! Quiet down,
everyone.
I called this meeting
for a very serious reason.
It's that time of year again.
Oh, no. Not that time
of year already.
Uh, exactly what
that time of year is it?
Valentine's Day.
We must avoid
the terrible fiasco
that took place last year.
Absotively
posilutely, long ears.
But just one thing:
What terrible fiasco
are we talking about?
Tigger, allow me
to refresh your memory.
Too many cards
were given last year.
10 zillion valentines is more
than any one animal can use.
Oh, my. They were all about,
weren't they?
That's right. They
stopped up my tunnel.
Yeah. My house
was a terrible mess.
Why, I couldn't even find it.
Uh, has anybody seen it lately?
And most of the blame can be
placed on just one of us:
A certain bear who
shall remain nameless
but whose initials
are Winnie the Pooh.
Hmm. That sounds familiar,
but I can't quite
place the face.
Whenever anyone gave him
one valentine,
he responded with three.
Heh. I had 40 bushels.
I received 200,000 at least.
Oh, yeah? Well, I got
an even quadzillion and 1.
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo!
Uh, I wonder how many that is.
Well, now that that's solved,
shouldn't we get down
to important matters
like giving valentines?
Pooh, you must learn
to control yourself.
But I can't help it.
I just like to show
how much I care.
In fact, happy
Valentine's Day, Rabbit.
It's hopeless.
Pooh, I'm afraid there's
only one thing left to do.
You're going to give me
a valentine?
Oh, thank you.
No!
We must cancel Valentine's Day.
Really?
- Oh, my.
- Golly.
Cancel Valentine's Day?
There's no other way.
The situation calls
for drastic measures.
We should follow the example
set by Eeyore last year.
But, uh, Eeyore didn't send
any valentines last year.
Exactly. That way, nobody's
feelings will be hurt.
And nobody will be
buried by unwanted cards.
I want everyone to promise
that not even a teeny-tiny
valentine gift will be given.
- Oh, all right.
- Me, too.
- Certainly.
- Oh, bother.
So it's official.
Valentine's Day is cancelled.
Now who could that be?
A valentine gift for me?
Oh, my. Someone
broke their promise.
Hmm. I'm quite certain
it wasn't me.
I would remember giving myself
a gift as wonderful as this.
Unless, of course I did it
when I wasn't around.
It must be from
my best friend Piglet.
He really shouldn't have.
But I'm glad he did.
I must give him something
as wonderful in return.
Perhaps a jar of honey.
But I'd better not tell
anyone, including me.
I've never been known
for keeping a secret.
Uh, y-yes?
Piglet, you promised
not to do it.
I'm sorry, Pooh. I promise
not to do it again.
Uh, what did I do?
You gave me a
wonderful jar of honey
as a valentine gift.
I did?
And if you ever do
such a thing again,
I shall have no choice
but to thank you again.
Happy Valentine's Day, Piglet.
I'm sorry it's only half full,
but it was a long trip.
Oh, thank you, Pooh,
but I can't keep it.
Why not?
Because I didn't
get you anything.
You
my best friend.
Oh, that's all right, Piglet.
Keep it anyway.
Only please don't tell
anyone about it.
Oh, my. If the honey wasn't
from my best friend Piglet,
then from what best
friend was it from?
I never remembered
Valentine's Day
to be so confusing.
I must find the real
valentine giver
and give him a piece of my mind.
And a valentine.
Oh, dear.
Now I have to make
Pooh a valentine, too,
or or he'll think
I'm ungrateful.
I do hope Rabbit
doesn't find out.
Oh, dear. Oh, d-d-dear.
Mama, isn't that Pooh?
Now, Roo, dear, it isn't
polite to bother someone
when they're pretending
to be a mailbox.
A mailbox for secret valentines only,
if you please.
Oh, bother. My disguise
doesn't seem to be working.
Aw. I think the mailbox
is sad, Mama.
Maybe a valentine
would cheer him up.
But don't tell Rabbit.
Think. Think. Think.
I do hope Pooh likes the
valentine cake I made him.
And I do hope no one sees me.
What was that?
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo!
Hiya, Piglet pal!
What's up?
Uh up?
Yeah. You know. P-U: Up.
Oh, nothing.
Certainly not a cake.
Oops. D-Did I say cake?
I meant aren't we late?
Yeah, uh, late? Late for what?
Oh, we must be late
for something.
Uh, breakfast?
Oh, I had breakfast
already, Piglet.
Well, you can never
have too many breakfastses,
I always say.
I say, how strange
for snow to fall
on such a clear day,
especially warm, sweet snow
with raspberry hearts.
Oh, how nice. Piglet
sent me a valentine cake.
Why, I haven't been so moved
since Aunt Lucille
tried to teach me to fly
by kicking me out of the nest.
Unfortunately, I was
still in my egg at the time.
Ahem.
I must reciprocate
Piglet's generous offering
with a valentine of my own.
Uh, secretly, of course.
I wonder. What does one
get a very small animal?
Ah, yes, I know:
A very small valentine.
Yeah. Icy cream sundaes
and eggs sound good.
But what I could really
use for breakfast is
Yipe!
Oh, d-d-dear.
Piglet?
Piglet?
Hmm. What's this?
Ha ha ha! Buddy bird
got me a valentine cake.
Well, I got to get old
feather duster something, too.
But first I'd better
get rid of this evidence
before Rabbit sees it.
Back.
Back.
Oh, there. Finally.
For me? A gift?
Ooh, well, how nice.
Oh, no. It's a valentine!
Not again!
No! No! No!
Pooh Bear!
I do hope Pooh likes
the valentine I got him.
Oh, d-d-dear.
Maybe I should have
given him candy instead.
Yaah!
And one for Pooh
and one for Piglet
and Yaah!
I'm not sending any valentines.
I'm, uh, heh heh,
I'm mail ordering
for a ball pin carburetor.
Honest. Heh heh heh heh.
And I'm, uh, uh,
catching up on my
correspondences.
Lots of relatives, you know.
Oh, good. My new and improved
disguise is working.
- Hoo hoo hoo hoo!
- Yipe!
- Aah!
- Hey, hey, hey.
What are you guys doing?
We're not sending valentines.
- Nope, not us.
- We wouldn't think of it.
Uh-uh. No way.
Yeah, well, it's a good thing.
We promised Rabbit.
Uh, oh, heh heh.
I'm just mailing it to myself.
Excuse us.
- Yike!
- Yaah!
It's a secret.
Gee, Rabbit, didn't you
bring a valentine, too?
And just what is going on here?
Oh, bother.
Yaah!
Oh, dear.
What?
Happy Valentine's Day, Rabbit?
And Tigger sent one
and Owl and Gopher and Pooh.
Order!
Ahem. Clearly,
there's only one of us
of so very little brain
that he'd start
this mess up again
and break his
no valentines promise.
Pooh, why did you do it?
But I didn't, Rabbit.
Someone else broke it first,
and I just broke it some more.
Someone else?
Then that someone else has
to be someone else in this room.
Yes! It was me!
I did it! I'm sorry!
Aha! And why did you send
the valentine, Piglet?
Well, you see, I, uh, uh
Heh heh, actually, it wasn't me.
Then why did you confess?
I I'm, uh, not
very good under pressure?
We must get to
the bottom of this.
Say, who's the guilty
party around here?
Who broke the promise, Mama?
- Speak up, whoever you are.
- Why, I don't know, dear.
Order. Order!
Order!
Perhaps it was someone
who didn't know
about our promise.
Someone like
Christopher Robin.
Pooh, you're right.
He didn't know.
It must have been him.
Well, if Christopher Robin's
sending cards,
we're going to have to
send him one, too,
uh, in self-defense.
We should.
I thought I saw a card
around here somewhere.
No. No!
Oh, my. This won't do.
This card's for Groundhog's Day.
Where did this come from?
Say, these are all
used valentines.
We got to have a new one
for Christopher Robin.
One like this?
It's an extra I had.
It's terrifical,
buddy bear! Ha ha!
Uh, but it's kind of
on the scrawny side.
We need a valentine
so gigantical,
it'll hold all our friendship
and then some.
Maybe we could
act out Pooh's card.
Then it would be like
a real-live valentine
with all of us in it.
Piglet, that's a wonderful idea.
Why didn't I think of it?
- What a lovely idea.
- A living valentine.
A project like this
will require organization,
skilled planning,
and leadership.
Obviously a job for
Ahem. Action.
I said action.
Uh, heh heh,
happy Valentine's Day,
Mrs. Kanga, ma'am.
Well, thank you, Tigger, dear.
Tigger, what are you doing?
That isn't romance.
Well, sure it is, long ears.
You always bounce
the one you love.
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo!
Uh, here. Use these.
Mm. Oh, say, not bad.
Could use a little
mustard, though.
Uh, have a taste,
Mrs. Kanga.
No, no,
no. You give them to her to hold.
And then you give her
a big kiss.
A kiss?
Oh, no. No.
Anything but that.
Anything but Yecch. Kiss.
Uh, shouldn't I just
shake her pouch or something?
No. You must kiss her.
You want to be in Christopher
Robin's valentine, don't you?
Well okay.
Bleah. That's it.
You're fired, Tigger, fired.
You obviously don't
have what it takes.
This part calls for
someone with talent,
someone like
Here you are.
For me? Why,
thank you, Rabbit.
I'm touched.
That's not a gift, Pooh.
They're for the show.
Yes. But it's
a nice thought anyway.
Since when
does a valentine need gunpowder?
Since I took over
the special defects.
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo!
And then Cupid flies in and
Where's Cupid?
I'm Cupid, bringer of love.
I'm Cupid, bringer of love.
Uh, Rabbit, wouldn't a very
small animal such as myself
be better playing
a very small part?
Nonsense, Piglet.
You were born to play Cupid.
Besides, you're just
the right color for it.
Now let's see
your arrow shooting.
Yaah!
Oh, magnificent.
He flies like
the very wind itself.
No, no.
You must feel the music.
Now once more, with feeling.
Well, I felt it.
Ten minutes to show time.
Make-up!
Make-up!
- It's
- Make-up!
show time.
Excuse me. Pardon us.
Excuse us. Pardon us.
What's going on, Rabbit?
Here we are: 13D.
Ahem. Ladies and gentlemen,
Rabbit presents
a Rabbit production
of Rabbit's Valentine
to Christopher Robin.
To me?
Directed by Rabbit,
written by Rabbit,
from an original idea by Rabbit,
based on a notion by Rabbit,
starring, uh, the others.
Oh, yes. Original music
composed by Rabbit, too.
Cupid.
That's your cue.
Yaah!
I, uh I
am Cupid, bringer of love.
I I, uh I
I am Cupid, bringer of
Oh, my.
I am Cupid!
That was not in the script.
Where does the script say
orchestra blows away?
Where?
Kanga
I give you these
Oh, bother.
Oh, isn't that sweet?
Thank you, dear.
I must not have read
the script closely
because I don't
remember this part.
It is Valentine's Day, Kanga,
and in the air there is
I am Cupid!
A piglet and a gopher and a roo.
Not to mention an owl.
Tigger, the curtain.
Uh, time for the big finish?
You got it, Bunny boy.
I am Cupid!
No, no, no. Tigger!
One big finish coming up!
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo!
What do we do now, Rabbit?
I am Cupid!
My show!
It was an absolute
Absolute success.
The best comedy I've ever seen.
Uh, comedy?
But it wasn't a
a comedy?
Yeah, oh, of course.
It was a comic valentine.
I'm very glad you liked it,
Christopher Robin.
Liked it? It was the
greatest Valentine's ever.
These ones I got you
aren't as nice.
Hey, thanks.
Oh, thank you,
Christopher Robin.
Oh, I say, thank you.
- Why, thank you, dear.
- Thanks.
Thanks, Christopher Robin.
Well, if you think
this was good,
just wait until you see
next year's show.
I am Cupid, bringer of love.
Uh, Pooh,
something's bothering me.
If Christopher Robin
gave you a card this morning,
why did he give you
another one just now?
I suppose, Piglet
he forgot.
Although it's usually me
who does the forgetting.
Hello, Pooh. How'd you like
the valentine I left you?
Not that I expect
any ballyhoo, mind you.
You mean it was you
who left Pooh the jar
of honey this morning?
Yep.
Felt bad not joining
in the fun last year.
Thought I'd do something
about it this year.
Oh, my.
I remembered the way Pooh
got everybody running around
all excited, like,
showing how much they
cared for each other.
Made me wish I could do that.
Not that an Eeyore ever
really could, mind you.
Oh, but you did, Eeyore.
Yes, you certainly did.
