- We're under attack!
- We are?
Take that, you barnacle!
Avast there!
First Mate Pooh, take the wheel!
Oh, it seems to have
been taken already.
All hands on deck!
Lay the top sail!
Man the bull works!
A walnut. Hmm.
This reminds me of something,
although I can't quite
remember what it is.
We shall fight to the last man!
And the last bear!
Throw out the anchor, Pooh!
Oh, bother.
Another walnut.
First Mate Pooh,
we must protect the treasure map.
Treasure map?
Piles of gold.
Oh!
Mountains of silver.
Silver!
We have to keep it safe
at all costs.
Well, then perhaps
we should get some help?
Good idea, First Mate Pooh.
Let's put a note in a bottle,
and whoever finds it
will come and save us.
Write a message on the map.
What does it say, Pooh Bear?
I don't know
because I can't read.
By using very small bait,
I can be sure I won't catch
too very large a fish.
Oh, no.
Oh, dear.
Oh, my.
For such a very small bottle,
you put up
a very large struggle.
Oh, this must be
an important message.
I better ask Pooh what
he thinks all this means.
Oh, dear.
Follow that bottle!
Hmm. Everybody's somewhere
other than here.
I wonder where that is.
Say! A note in a bottle!
Nobody needs one of these
unless they're macarooned
on a dessert isle!
This must mean I'm lost.
And I didn't even know
I was missing.
What am I gonna do?
How am I gonna find me?
I can't go on much longer.
I'm a goner.
Done for.
Water! Water!
Oh, Pooh, I found a bottle,
and it had a note in it.
Why, that's very interesting,
Piglet.
Christopher Robin
was just speaking
of bottles and messages
and such.
Oh, my!
I'll bet the note's
from Christopher Robin.
He must be in trouble.
We shall have to get Owl
to read it for us.
But, Pooh,
I don't have it anymore.
Then we'd better hurry.
Bunny boy, I can't go on.
You gotta tell me.
Where am I?
Why, Tigger, you're right here.
And so I am!
Guess I won't be needing this.
What was that?
Can you read it, long-ears?
Why, this is so simple,
even Owl could read it.
Then let's go get Owl.
Oh, why, Pooh Bear, of course
I'd be happy to read the note,
- but first I'd have to see it.
- But it's gone
Good thing we got another one.
Came in a bottle.
Pooh! That's it!
That's the bottle!
Aha! Oho!
Say, this reminds me
of something,
but I disremember what.
Well, what does it say?
This clearly is written in a
forgotten language of the ancients,
likely thousands of years old.
Judging by the script,
something from
the Lower Lumbar region.
But Owl, I think it was sent
by Christopher Robin,
because he's in trouble.
In that case, this is most definitely
a recipe for coconut cream pie.
It's a disaster! An apostrophe!
There's no telling what kind of
terrible trouble the poor guy's in.
Why he could be in the clutches
of kid-eatin' cannibals.
There are no cannibals
in the Hundred Acre Wood.
Then probably
it's kid-eatin' sharks!
Yeah, Tigger sharks,
the stripedy kind.
Wait a second. There are no
sharks in the Hundred Acre Wood.
Wrong time of year.
Then it's definitely spookables.
Oh, dear.
Poor Christopher Robin.
What can we do?
We'll send him
a message in a bottle.
What good is that going
to do, Pooh?
We'll follow the bottle to him.
Let me launch it for you,
buddy bear.
It's what tiggers do best.
- A walnut.
- A walnut?
- It's the pack rats!
- Of course!
That's what the walnuts
reminded me of.
Come on!
We gotta get that bottle back.
Christopher Robin's
depending on us.
- There they are!
- Follow that bottle!
There's no escaping now!
You might as well
hand over that bottle.
Yes, if you please.
Hey!
I got it!
I got it.
I got it.
Oh, bother.
Oh, my!
It's "bustafried."
Oh, thank you.
But without a bottle,
we can never use this
to rescue Christopher Robin.
Aww!
Ta-da!
Thank you, pack rats.
Now, if you wouldn't mind,
Mr. Bottle,
we'd like to see
Christopher Robin.
So could we please get started?
And please hurry.
Say, this tub's great,
as long as the water stays
on the outside.
Oh, dear.
I think we've seen the worst.
All right, Rabbit.
It's right up there ahead of us.
Now that the bottle has lost us,
we'll never save
Christopher Robin.
Oh, here you all are.
I've been looking
everywhere for you.
I got your message.
There you are,
Christopher Robin!
- We found you!
- We did it!
Christopher Robin, we saved you!
Saved me, Pooh?
Oh, yeah, from the cannibals.
And the tigger sharks
and spookables.
Sounds pretty exciting.
Sorry I missed it.
You mean you weren't
in any trouble?
Oh, bother.
Oh, but I was in trouble.
You were?
Oh, yes.
You came just in time.
- We did?
- You see?
I picked these flowers
for my mother.
And I don't have anything
to put them in.
But this will do perfectly.
It does look very nice.
Why, yes, very nice, indeed.
I'm so glad we could help you,
Christopher Robin.
Yeah! Saving Christopher Robins
is what we do best, you know.
Sure. If it hadn't been for you,
I never would have been able
to give Mom these.
Walnuts?
Well
Mom like these, too.
Hmm. Those walnuts
remind me of something.
28, 29, 30
31, 32
32?
I had 33 tomatoes yesterday!
That can only mean crows!
Oh, no! My beautiful garden!
My poor vegetables!
Take that,
you vegetable nappers!
And that! And that!
Now I've got you,
you feather brains.
OOH! HELP!
Let me out of here!
Oh, dear.
Look, Pooh.
Oh, my.
Uh, excuse me,
but have you seen a rabbit
around here
with a very loud voice?
It's me, Pooh.
Oh, we thought you were
in terrible trouble.
It was those crows!
- They're after my garden again.
- Oh, yes.
This reminds me of the occasion
when my uncle Aloysius
had his tail feathers stolen
and couldn't sit down
without sneezing.
I haven't got the time
to talk about
your nonexistent relatives
with those dive-bombing
delinquents around.
Hut, two, three, four.
My relatives don't exist?
Oh, my word.
If you'll excuse me,
I have to go reexamine
my family tree.
Hmm. My relatives are
as real as anyone's.
Just because I haven't heard
from them for years and years,
doesn't mean they don't exist,
does it?
Perhaps that's one
of my relations now.
Why, hello, Pooh, Piglet.
I'm very happy to see you.
You haven't seen any owls
wandering about, have you?
Why, no, Owl, we haven't.
That's right.
You're the only owl around here.
Aren't you?
Oh, that's what I was afraid of.
I think he's very sad, Pooh.
He wants to see his family.
Perhaps his family wants
to see him, too!
Wouldn't that be nice.
A family reunion for Owl.
A family reunion for me?
And to think you knew where
to find my relatives all along.
I did? Do?
Ooh, I must get busy
and prepare.
This is going to be wonderful.
This reminds me
of the coming out party
Pooh, do you really know
where Owl's relations are?
Well, since I know
they're not here,
the rest should be easy.
What exactly are we doing, Pooh?
Sending invitations
to the reunion, of course.
The balloon will carry the
invitations to Owl's relatives.
Air mail.
I'm going to help Owl get ready
for their visit.
Good idea, Piglet.
I shall wait here
for the guests to arrive.
I suppose Owl's relations
must be very shy,
or perhaps I didn't use
enough postage.
I suppose I'll just have
to invite them in person.
Beat it, you flying felons!
Well, I'll be ready for those
feather dusters next time.
Hut, two, three, four.
Oh, this is an awful lot
of food, Owl.
When owls get together
for a hoot,
it pays to have plenty
of the proper cuisine on hand.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, yeah.
So here you are!
I've been expecting you!
You are Owl's relations,
aren't you?
Owl will be so pleased!
Oh, thank you, Pooh,
for finding my relatives.
But are you sure
these aren't crows?
Nonsense, Piglet.
Why would Pooh invite crows
to my family reunion?
Their "owlness" is unmistakable.
The dignity, bearing,
good fellowship,
taste
Of course,
I'm sure a refresher course
in table manners
might not be amiss.
Whoa!
Well, I'm sure you
and your relations
have a lot to talk about.
Whoops!
Yes, Owl, we hope you'll
all be very happy together.
Yes, I hope so, too.
I say!
I do believe
this is most improper.
But then the guest
is always right.
Well, it's been a very long day
of getting reacquainted.
I'm sure we're all right ready
for a good night's sleep.
No? Perhaps a bedtime story?
Well, then what is it you want?
A midnight snack?
I'm afraid your latest repast
has totally depleted the latter.
We're out of food.
But we can get some from Rabbit
when I introduce you
to him in the morning.
I can't wait
for him to meet some
of my relations.
I don't know why you want
to meet Rabbit's garden
before you meet Rabbit.
I've heard of presenting
flowers when introduced,
but vegetables
is something entirely new.
And from his own garden, too.
Aha! I've caught
those thieves red-handed!
- Owl!
- Why, Rabbit, how fortuitous.
I was just dropping by
to introduce my relatives.
Those pests are with you?
- But But
- And I really must tell you,
I'm not at all impressed
with your hospitality.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I must return to my guests.
Relations? Guests? Crows?
What was all that noise, Rabbit?
Owl was here with his relatives,
but they were crows.
Oh, Pooh, I knew it all along.
Oh, my, do you realize
what this means?
- Owl's a crow?
- No.
But those relatives
of his certainly are.
There's only thing to do
in a situation like this.
What do you suppose
that one thing is, Pooh?
If crows,
which Owl thinks are owls,
caused the problem,
the perhaps Owl's,
which crows think are owls,
will solve it.
Oh, Pooh,
that's a very good idea
I think.
Woot!
Um, hoot!
Hello, Owl.
It's me, your cousin Dexter.
And your
Hoot! Hoot!
Uncle Torbet.
How wonderful!
More family for the reunion.
By all means do come in.
Oh, bother.
Oh, dear.
Oh, I see. That's splendid.
A delightful prank.
Quite the proper spirit and
More guests?
Oh, well, the more, the merrier.
That's my motto.
I say! Who have we here?
Surely you haven't forgotten
your own uncle Torbet
and Aunt Ophelia
and your cousin Dexter.
My word, you do look familiar.
Yikes!
Uh-oh.
My word, never a moment's rest
for those three.
Off to some other party,
no doubt.
There's no escape now,
you imposters!
You can't fool me with
those ridiculous owl disguises.
Do you think
I was born yesterday?
Did we miss Rabbit's birthday?
That Rabbit reminds me
of Uncle Tucker,
the time he got his beak caught
in the corn crib.
Uncle Tucker? Corn crib?
I'm very glad you arrived in time
for Owl's family reunion, Rabbit.
- Family reunion?
- Isn't it wonderful?
Now we have four times
as many stories to listen to.
Yes, wonderful.
That reminds me
of the time Uncle Tucker
spent the summer
in that cuckoo's nest.
He never did get over that.
But he builds
wonderful clocks now.
Such a pity none of us
can tell time.
That reminds me of the time
