It's me and it's you ♪
My silly old
Winnie the Pooh ♪
Hmm. Piglet,
I don't mean to pry,
but how long before
holding honey
becomes eating honey?
I'm sorry, Pooh,
but, being such
a very small animal,
it takes a large
amount of painting
to make a Pooh small enough
for my mantel.
Oh, bother.
Pooh?
Pooh?
I'm sorry, Piglet.
I think my foot
went to sleep without me.
I'm almost done, Pooh.
I'll hurry.
Dear!
My painting of you is gone.
Hello, there, fellow artistes.
It's brilliant, genius.
Looks like polar bears
eating marshmallows
in a snowstorm.
Oh, but it's not supposed
to be polar bears, Tigger.
It was a picture of Pooh.
It's true. I was there.
And now I'm gone.
Aren't I?
Hmm. Pooh poachers, eh?
Yes. And nobody
at all was around.
Aha! Of course
nobody was there,
and nobody is who pilfered
Piglet's Pooh picture.
It was?
Absoposilutely.
And nobody knows nobodies
like I know nobodies.
Come on. Let's find us
that nobody.
Well, Tigger, how
shall we catch him
if we can't see him?
That's easy. Hoo hoo hoo!
You got to sniff him out.
Topeka!
It's the dreaded
long-eared nobody.
Long-eared nobodies look
a great deal like Rabbit.
That's because I am Rabbit.
An unlikely story.
Tigger, this is my garden,
and I'm Rabbit.
Hmm. His tail does
look awfully fluffy
for a nobody.
What on earth is a nobody?
Somebody who's not there
but takes your paintings anyway.
I'm surprised at all of you,
believing in unseen
creatures like
like nobodies.
But one of them
stole my painting.
Don't be silly.
There's a reasonable
explanation for everything.
There is?
Sure. Hoo! And when we
find the nobody,
he'll tell us what it is.
Hoo hoo hoo!
Hmph. Nobodies. Ha. The idea.
Shh!
Hoo hoo! That was close.
That was close.
You're telling me.
Who's telling you, Tigger?
There's nobody around.
That's it. A nobody.
Tigger, that nobody sounds
a great deal like you.
It's because nobodies are
real sneaky-pants types.
They'll steal anything
that isn't nailed down
even voices.
But I'm not afraid.
It's time for Plan T!
T stands for Tigger, by the way.
Gotcha!
Gotcha!
Tigger's shouting a great deal
more quietly than before.
Perhaps it is part of Plan T.
Pooh, I think he's trying
to tell us he lost his voice.
Then why didn't he just say so
in the first place?
Pooh, remember what Tigger said
about nobodies being sneaky?
Why, yes, Piglet, I do.
Tigger didn't lose his voice.
That nobody who sounded
so very much like Tigger took it.
Oh, the same one
who took my painting.
How will we ever find him, Pooh?
I suppose the best place
to find a nobody
is nowhere in particular.
Now wait just a minute.
I'm sure I had some carrots
right here and there.
Nobody could have taken them.
I've been here all
Did I say nobody?
Oh, don't be ridiculous.
Jumping crawdaddies! Guests!
Say, who'd be messing
around down here
without bothering to say hello?
My tools! They're gone!
Thieves! Tunnel invaders!
Well, they won't get
back in here again.
Heh heh heh heh heh heh.
Let's see them try
After I seal up
the north tunnel.
Pooh, Tigger's
not talking again.
He says look out
for the hole
Ohh!
Listening to Tigger not talk
is more dangerous
than I thought.
We'd better get some help
finding his voice.
Aha! Caught you,
you tool-snatching varmints.
Think they're so smart,
do they? Hmm!
Well, I'll show them.
That's the last time
they'll use the south tunnels.
Huh. There's a reasonable
explanation for everything.
Things just don't disappear.
I'm certain Rabbit will
help find the nobody
that took Tigger's voice,
even if he doesn't
believe in them.
Tigger, what are you doing
with my vegetables?
No, no, no.
Excuses won't do you any good.
I saw you.
I knew there was
a reasonable explanation.
But, Rabbit, Tigger says
he was saving your vegebibbles
from the nobody.
Not that nobody business again.
Have you not seen one
around, Rabbit,
that perhaps sounds like Tigger?
Oh, certainly. I don't
see them all the time.
Who do you think
I grow my vegetables for?
Here. Have a carrot.
Be my guest.
Please. I insist.
Perhaps we'd better
come back later
to ask Rabbit
about Tigger's nobody.
He seems to be busy with
his own nobodies right now.
What the ding-dangy
Uhh, now they're
in the east tunnels.
I was positive I had
more cabbages than this.
There is a reasonable
explanation for all this.
Isn't there?
Hello, Rabbit.
We're back again.
Ha ha. Yes. Your nobodies
are the only ones we can find.
For the last time,
I don't have any nobodies.
Then who's taking those?
Aah! My tomatoes!
Where'd they go?
I think we're about to find out.
Oh, d-d-dear.
Oh! No! They're gone!
And nobody was around.
Nobodies!
It's every vegetable
for himself!
Well, that ought to take care
Uhh!
Uh, that tears it.
They're everywhere.
Have to seal up
the northwest tunnels
an the southeast tunnels.
You know, those vegetable
stealing nobodies
certainly looked familiar.
Crows aren't nobodies,
Pooh. They're crows.
Now what would crows want
with Tigger's voice?
An how will we ever find it
with all these
vegetables in the way?
Perhaps, if we put back
Rabbit's vegetables first,
we can find Tigger's voice
and put it back
the number after first.
After all
what comes down must go up.
This vegetable-napping is
going to stop here and now.
No! The nobodies!
They're back!
Let's see them
sneak through this.
Pooh? Piglet? Tigger?
Nobody's here.
And nobody blew up my garden.
Hello, Rabbit.
Your vegetables went up
more than we thought,
but at least you've
gotten them back.
Yes. We saved
them from the crows.
Crows took my vegetables?
Oh, yes. You see,
it all started
when the nobody
took Piglet's Pooh.
And then the crows
took Tigger's voice
and hid it with your vegetables,
which they kept under
the ground, of course.
So you see, Rabbit,
you were right all the time.
There is a reasonable
explanation for everything.
Look! My painting.
I liked the
polar bear one better.
Why, Tigger, you can talk.
Of course. Hoo hoo!
It's what tiggers do
the best, you know.
My voice must have found me
when I was putting back
your vegebibbles.
Maybe I was the one
who was lost all the time.
Hoo hoo!
By ding-dangy,
that showed them. Ha!
Say, what's wrong with Rabbit?
He looks a bit frazzled.
Nobodies took Piglets Pooh
and then Tigger's voice,
then my vegetables.
But the nobodies were nobody
because it was crows?
Huh. Must have been
something I didn't say.
No, no, no, Tigger.
Don't put that there.
Put that there.
Quickly, everyone,
or we'll never finish
before Cassie comes home.
Do you like the flower
arrangement, Rabbit?
A very nice arrangement, Piglet,
but it needs some flowers.
Now, I want daffodils,
daisies, and jonquils,
but no dandelions.
Dandelions, daisies,
and jonquils,
but no daffodils.
That's not what we're here for.
Uh, what are we here
for, huh, Stan?
Quiet, bubble brain.
I believe I hear
opportunity knocking.
Do you suppose this will
be enough of my honey
for your party, Rabbit?
We need two honey cakes,
three loaves of honey bread,
and dozens and dozens
of honey cookies.
Well, uh, we can
always get more.
I was afraid you might say that.
Uh, Rabbit, exactly
what is this party
for which we must be ready?
The welcome home party
for my dear little Cassie,
who's finally coming home
where she belongs.
So her party must be perfect.
Now I know what we're
after: Honey.
Oh, boy. Hee hee! Ha ha!
I just love honey. Ho ho!
How are we gonna
get it, Stan? Huh?
Ho ho! How? How?
Pipe own while I figure it out.
Hurry, Pooh Bear.
She'll be here any minute.
Here are the dandelions
you asked for, Rabbit.
No, not dandelions.
Dandelions make me
ah-choo!
No, no, no!
I will not have
this party ruined!
Clean up that honey.
Get rid of those dandelions.
More balloons!
Set the table.
Everything must be perfect
- to welcome home
- Hello, everyone.
Cassie!
Why, you're
you're you're you.
And you're here,
Cassie, at last.
Hmm. Maybe that little birdie
is the meal ticket
we've been looking for.
Come on. We got plans to plan.
Oh, Cassie, I had a welcome
home party all planned, but
It was going to be colossical
with half a gazillion balloons.
Heh heh. And flowers.
And honey.
Oh, bother.
That's okay, Rabbit.
It's nice just being here.
Rabbit? But you used to
call me Rabby. Remember?
I'm too old for that.
Oh, no, Cassie.
You'll always be
my little baby bird.
But what matters now
is you're back,
back to stay forever.
Forever?
But, uh, Rabbit
Welcome home, Cassie.
How I've missed you.
I guess I could stay
for a little while.
Uh, I got it, Stan.
I got it.
We give them honey,
an they give us the bird.
Nah, that's not it, either.
Uh, how about we grab the rabbit
and we switch him
for the bird? Heh heh.
Nope. Getting closer,
though.
Rabbit certainly is
glad Cassie's back.
Yeah, but I don't think
she's so glad about it.
I believe that's because
Rabbit hasn't noticed
that Cassie isn't quite
as, uh, Cassie-like
since she came back.
She's grown up.
Yes, Cassie, dear, it's going
to be just like old times.
I'm too old for old times.
I'm grown up.
Of course you are, dear.
I just love it when you
pretend you're a big girl.
Now it's nappy time.
But, Rabbit, I don't
take naps anymore.
Good night, Cassie, dear.
Sleep well.
Good night, Rabbit.
I guess the only way
to convince Rabbit
I'm old enough
to take care of myself
is to go away and
take care of myself.
Come on, Stan, uh, explain
how I said it again.
Okay, but this is the last time.
We get the bird in our hands,
then trade her back
to the rabbit for honey.
Oh! Oh!
You're brilliant, Stan!
Brilliant!
But how do we get the little
birdie in our hands?
Excuse me.
Do you know if there
are any vacant nests
around here?
Cassie, dear, time to get
ready for dinner.
Ah, it's play time, is it?
Hide and seek?
Here I come, ready or not.
Cassie, you really shouldn't
play this far from home.
All right, Cassie,
play time is over.
Cassie! You come out
this moment!
Cassie!
Cassie? Where are
you?
Heh heh.
Haven't seen a little bird
around, have you?
You see the sort of trouble
you get yourself into
when you don't let me
take care of you?
Guess you'll want to be
ransoming her now, huh?
Uh, ransom?
Certainly not
because, in order
for there to be a ransom,
there must first
be a ransom note.
Knew we forgot something.
I found this note on my door,
and I'm fairly certain
I didn't put it there.
What does it say, Pooh?
I believe we shall
have to reed it.
Why, hoo hoo, it's obliviously
a "Happy birthday,
Tigger" kind of card.
Or it could be
an invitation to breakfast
or lunch or dinner.
I'm not particular.
Perhaps we should
ask Rabbit to read it.
Hello!
Anybody home?
Or perhaps, Tigger,
since Rabbit and Cassie
are not here,
this note is from them
telling us where they are.
That's it, buddy bear.
Let's go find them
so they can tell us where
the note say they are.
- Cassie!
- Rabbit.
Why, there's no telling
what kind of danger's
lurking out here.
Yipes!
You're safer than safe with me.
Hoo hoo hoo!
Uh, Pooh? Pigalet? Oops!
So nice you could drop by
on account of that means
that many more ransoms
and that much more honey for us.
But if we're here,
who's left to ransom us?
Mm. Never thought of that.
There's got to be
somebody somewhere
to ransom you.
Uh, perhaps we could ransom us.
"Perhaps we could ransom us?"
Honestly, Pooh Bear,
if you'd kept quiet,
they'd have let us go.
I'm very sorry, Cassie.
I promised I'd take care of you,
and I failed.
Don't worry, Rabbit.
Stan and Hef are going
to take care of me now.
They are?
We are?
Yes. In fact,
you're going to take
care of all of us.
Now, why in the world would
we want to do that, little birdie?
Because if we're not happy,
why should we bother to pay
honey for ourselves?
Why, that's so confusing,
even I understand it.
Heh heh. She's right,
Stan. She's right.
I know she's right,
honey breath. Big deal.
How hard can taking
care of this bunch be?
The first thing you should know
is that it's our nap time.
Uh, nap time?
I'm too old for naps.
Now, Rabby, you be a good boy,
or no carrot cake
for snackie time.
Rabby? Snackie time?
Okay, kid. You guys
go ahead and nap.
We can't go to sleep
without a glass of milk.
Not cold milk.
Come on.
Aw, no, Stan.
I don't know how
to warm up a cow.
Not that warm.
Besides, we're not
thirsty anymore.
So let's get on
with the nap time story.
A story? Uh
Once upon a time
I've heard that one.
Well, uh, there was
this dragon and
Oh, d-d-dear. Dragons.
No dragons.
We'll get nightmares.
You know, Rabbit,
she reminds me of
someone very familiar.
Yes, I I noticed.
She's behaving more
like me than I am.
So you better behave
yourself, long ears. Hoo!
Too late. We missed
our nap time.
Now we want some honey.
Yes, please.
Uh, honey, Uh, yeah.
Yeah. Uh, we got honey.
Not that one.
It's too small.
That's too big.
We want that one.
Duh, I don't know if I
ought to take that one.
Just get them what they
want, Hef, quick,
or we'll never shut them up.
Now what did we do
to deserve this?
Do you think
we ought to help them?
You want to help?
Just keep that bird
away from us.
Cassie, that was a very,
very dangerous thing to do,
and all I have to say is
thank you for saving us.
I can see now you are
indeed grown up
and quite able
to take care of yourself.
Thank you, Rabbit.
And if I can't be
your Rabby anymore,
I can still be
your friend Rabbit.
My very best friend Rabbit.
Aren't you coming, Pooh?
Oh, I thought, Piglet,
I might stay behind
and, uh, clean up a bit.
