My silly old
Winnie the Pooh ♪
My. It certainly
is impressive.
And very well wrapped,
don't you think?
At least it's not moving.
That's a very good sign.
Uh, this is your package,
Gopher?
You bet your stalactites,
you nincompoop.
Ordered it from Holes-R-Us.
Gotta unwrap 'em just so.
Lucille.
Hello, Gopher.
How are you and Lucille?
Dandy.
Why, just look at how
the sunlight shines
off her handle.
Oh, and we got big plans.
Big plans.
Oh, boy.
It'll be stupendous.
Uh, Gopher,
I don't really know about these things,
but shouldn't you actually
do something with Lucille?
Like, maybe dig?
By gum, Piglet,
you're 600 percent right.
I got completely carried away.
Ooh!
Hi-ho, Lucille!
What in the world?
Uh-oh.
So, Rabbit,
how do you like your new carrot cellar?
B-b-but I didn't ask for
a carrot cellar.
It was Lucille's idea.
Boy, do I love this shovel.
A-ha!
Just as I suspected.
One more smackerel.
There ya are, Pooh Bear.
Just in time to see
me and Lucille
build ya an Olympic size
swimmin' hole.
Well, actually, Gopher,
I don't feel much like
swimming right at this moment.
Eh,
that's okay. We'll build ya one anyway.
Ah, Lucille,
we've done it again.
Course, you have to
fill it first.
But those are just details.
Whaddaya think, Pooh?
Pooh?
Must have got impatient
and wandered off.
Gopher.
Hiya, Piglet.
Just as soon as I'm done
renovating Tigger's house,
I'll come help you out.
That's nice.
Uh, have you asked Tigger
if it's all right?
Course it's all right.
He'll love it!
Well, as long as
everybody's happy.
Just look what Gopher and
that-that shovel have done.
But Rabbit,
Gopher's just excited.
He's not really hurting anybody.
He's just digging.
Oh, no.
Don't tell me it was
That underhanded, underground,
under everything menace.
I knew it!
What's he done now?
I can't talk about it,
bunny boy.
Too "humiloratin'".
Now, wait. I think we're
being a little hard on Gopher.
He's just trying to help.
If we just talk to him
No!
His reign of digging
must be put to an end
before he puts an end to us.
We're right behind ya,
captain fuzz face.
Oh, dear.
Gopher's just doing what he's
supposed to do with a shovel.
It's not that bad, really.
And Lucille's
such a nice shovel.
Can't understand why
everyone doesn't understand.
Gopher's just
trying to be helpful.
Oh, dear.
Maybe this has gone
a little too far.
Lucille.
Lucille!
Lucille.
I do wish Lucille
weren't so very up.
Oh, d-d-d-dear.
Oh, no!
Wha!
Someone stole Lucille!
Oh, Gopher doesn't sound
very happy.
What am I going to do with you?
I know.
I'll bury you.
Then I'll talk to Gopher.
Maybe if I explain,
he won't hurt me so hard.
Help!
Somebody help!
Oh, deary dear.
Is this a slumber party?
No. Someone made off
with Lucille.
We're gonna find
the nefarious wrongdoer now.
What's the bear up to?
Shh. I believe
I've found a clue.
Obviously, the tracks of
a yellow-bellied shovel stealer.
They seem to be
heading for Piglet's house.
Piglet's gone.
Yeah, and so's his house.
So, whatever got Lucille
got Piglet, too.
This must be the work of a
yellow-bellied shovel and Piglet stealer.
Rawrrr.
Shh.
It may be down there.
You go first.
Not me, bunny boy.
Rabbit? Tigger?
Help!
Help!
It's the yellow-bellied
shovel and Piglet stealer.
Ah, don't be such
a fraidy bunny.
We're gonna go down and whack us
a shovel nappin' varmint.
Uh, down there?
Oh, I don't think
we should do that.
It's it's so far.
It's not that far.
See?
Ouch!
Uh, excuse me,
but wasn't that a
Piglet sort of ouch,
rather than a yellow-bellied
shovel and Piglet stealer
sort of ouch?
Hey, Piglet!
Seen any yellow-bellied
muckety mucks around?
You mean there's
one of those down here?
Oh,
dear. I thought it was just me and Lucille.
Lucille!
Hold on, baby,
I'm comin' for ya!
Lucille.
Never thought I'd see ya again,
my little lotus blossom.
If that fiendish fiend harmed
a splinter on your handle, I'll
Oh, my.
Don't worry. Just
give me one good shot
at the crook that
kidnapped you and Lucille,
- and
- But I took Lu
Cille.
Oops.
You took Lucille?
But how could you
do that, Piglet?
I didn't know any other way
to get you to stop digging.
So what you're sayin' is
that I may have been diggin'
where I didn't belong.
Maybe a little.
Mm. Don't worry. I'll
make it right by everyone.
I know you will. But
will you ever forgive me?
Of course.
Will you ever forgive me?
Of course.
I guess this means there's
no yellow-bellied whatever.
No, I guess not.
What are we gonna tell
the others?
Well, there is one thing.
It's been an awfully long time.
Perhaps we ought to
go down and help.
No, no. Let's give them
a little while longer.
Say, uh, a couple of days?
Take that, you yellow-bellied
shovel snatching thief!
And here's some more
so you don't come back.
Piglet.
Are you two "okedy-dokedy"?
Hot diggity, we are.
But it was a close shave.
You know somethin'.
After all this excitement,
I think Lucille needs a rest.
I'm gonna retire her.
Hooray!
But wait'll you see
what I ordered next.
A steam shovel, uh, spoon,
a nuclear powered drill.
I think I'll name her Nancy.
Mm. Prefer the name
Emily, huh?
Oh, dear.
I know I've forgotten something.
Since very small animals
have very short memories,
I must have forgotten
to remember something.
Water the rhododendron?
No.
Shine the woodwork?
No.
Wax the floor?
Noooo!
Oh, dear. Since I've
remembered everything else,
there's only one thing
I could have forgotten.
Why, it must be Pooh's birthday.
Oh, dear.
Hm. If these tomatoes
were any smaller,
or any greener,
they'd be olives.
Something is most
definitely wrong.
Oof!
Perhaps Rabbit can help me
plan Pooh's birthday.
Hiya, Piglet old pal.
What brings you to
this neck of the woods?
Well, actually, I remembered
something very, very important,
and I need your help.
What is it, Piglet?
Well, you see, today
by which I mean this day
is Pooh's birthday.
Oh, my, Piglet, you're right.
Today must be the day.
'Cause it wasn't yesterday.
And tomorrow's the day
I rearrange my sock drawer.
This is extraordinary.
We have to organize
a party immediately.
And a birthday cake.
Maybe a few balloons?
And a birthday cake.
And perhaps some games?
- And a
- Yes, Tigger, a birthday cake.
Oh, dear.
But I don't have any candles.
Why, a cake without candles,
it's positively
"un-birthdayicle".
In that case,
we'll just go out and find some candles.
On his birthday,
nothing is too good for our Pooh.
My, my, my, Pooh's birthday.
Good thing I have
these emergency candles.
Better take a few more
just to be on the safe side.
Fortunately,
for a very small animal,
I have a very large
fear of the dark.
Perhaps I'd better take
a few more,
just to be on the safe side.
Can't have a party
without candles.
Hoo-hoo.
Better take a few more
just to
Well, there's gotta be
some reason.
There. One birthday cake
for our birthday Pooh.
Hoo! I knew buddy bear
was havin' a birthday,
I just didn't know
he was havin' so many.
Why, with all these candles,
it appears that our friend Pooh
is much older than we thought.
The last time I saw a cake
with this many candles on it
was at Christopher Robin's
birthday.
Yeah. And Christopher
Robin was the only one
smart enough to count 'em all.
Say, if buddy bear is that
much older than we thought,
he must be
that much smarter, too.
Now, now, Tigger,
we mustn't jump to conclusions.
So, let's jump over to Pooh's,
and let him know what
a genius he is. Hoo-hoo!
Won't Pooh be surprised when
he finds out how old he is.
He'll be even more surprised
when he finds out
how smart he is.
Surprise!
My, this is a surprise.
We brought you this cake
because I remembered
that I think I forgot
that today is your birthday.
Oh, why, just look at
all those candles, Pooh.
Yeah. And you're older
than we thought.
And so much smarter, too?
Uh, since I didn't know
I was so old,
I supposed I wouldn't know
I was so smart, either.
I think.
Uh, perhaps we can discuss
this over a smackerel of cake.
Pooh Bear,
you've certainly kept your
extraordinary intelligence
a secret.
Yes, Rabbit.
Even I didn't know about it.
Perhaps you could help me with
a little gardening question.
Should I plant my tomatoes
next to the parsnips
or the artichokes?
Well, that would depend on
how the tomatoes feel about it.
Don't you think, Rabbit?
Why, yes, Pooh,
I suppose that it would.
Confidentially speaking,
Pooh boy,
what's the best way for me
to cover more ground
with my bouncing?
Well, I should think that
to cover more ground,
when you bounce up,
just don't come back down.
Whaddaya know?
Old buddy bear
really is a genius.
Pooh, I don't want to bother
someone as smart as you,
but how long should I take
with my spring cleaning?
Why, it would take you
a very long time
to clean all of spring, Piglet.
There's an awful lot of it
outside today.
Clean all of the spring?
Oh, dear.
Pooh Bear, thank you.
I can hardly wait
to tackle that garden now.
Hoo! And just wait'll you
see the ground I cover.
I guess I'd better
get started right away.
I'm so glad that you're glad.
And now for some cake.
Perhaps I should save
the candles for later,
just to be on the safe side.
According to Pooh,
if I want to know where
to plant my tomatoes,
it would depend on
how they feel about it.
And the only way I can
know how a tomato feels,
is to feel like a tomato.
Ya-hoo-hoo!
Oh, Piglet, so good to see you.
And you, too, Owl.
You seem to be
very busy, Piglet.
Thanks to Pooh,
I'm busy with
my spring cleaning.
But doesn't spring cleaning
usually occur inside one's home?
Not according to Pooh.
He is now a bear with
a very large brain, Owl.
Uh, you mean our Pooh?
Please excuse me, Owl,
but so much spring keeps
falling off the trees.
Goodbye.
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
Look out below!
Hiya, Owl.
Just thought I'd drop by.
Tigger, I've just heard the
most extraordinary news.
Pooh is a very smart bear.
Yeah, and it was a good thing
I was there to tell him about it.
Sorry, Owl. Can't hang around here all day,
you know.
This stayin' up stuff
is trickier than it looks.
Ya-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
So Pooh is a very smart bear?
The smartest, Owl.
My word.
Who said that?
I did.
Talking tomatoes?
No, no, it's me, Rabbit.
I only look like a tomato.
And it's because of Pooh.
He's smarter than we realized.
Did you hear that?
It sounded like a tomato.
Don't start talking
until I get there.
Well, well, how delightful.
Now I can converse with Pooh
on a higher plane.
However,
one cannot assume intelligence too lightly.
Perhaps a few tests of
our new smarter friend Pooh
are in order.
Are you certain you
wouldn't care for
just one more taste of my "what
a surprise" birthday cake, Owl?
Why, thank you, Pooh Bear.
But first, if you don't mind,
I have a few questions
I'd like to ask you.
If I have five pots of honey,
and I take away three pots,
how many pots of honey
do I have left?
Not enough for dinner,
I'm afraid.
Hmm. Perhaps Pooh is smarter
than I first suspected.
Surely one of these tomatoes
will talk to me.
I've always been known
as a good listener.
So who would like to start?
A place for everything,
and everything in its place.
Oh, my. This is most
certainly in the wrong place.
I heard that.
Which one of you was it?
Piglet.
What are you doing
with that tomato?
Look out below!
Not a bad landing space.
Thanks, Rabbit.
That does it!
It's high time we spoke
with Pooh Bear
about his very smart advice,
which may not have been
so very smart after all.
You're right, long ears.
Too bad we didn't
think about doing that
before we followed
Pooh's advice.
Pull!
If I'd known you were coming,
Rabbit,
I'd have built a bigger door.
Pooh, I must have
a word with you
about your very smart advice.
And what word
would that be, Rabbit?
Just one.
It didn't work!
Pooh, Rabbit is
a little concerned
that the very smart
advice you gave
may not have been
so very smart after all.
Yeah. And if you're
not smart,
what were all those candles
doing on your birthday cake?
Oh, yes.
That reminds me.
My birthday cake.
There's still plenty to share.
The candles.
Why, there's only one.
Gasp! I'm seeing single.
What happened to the rest of
your "birthyday" cake?
And all the candles?
Oh, yes.
I remember.
Owl was asking me
so many questions
that I worked up
a very large appetite.
So I carefully placed all
the candles in this honey jar.
For safe keeping.
Why, buddy bear,
do you know what this means?
No.
It means that jar
is very, very old.
Why, it's "antiquifried."
Why, thank you, Tigger.
What a perfect birthday gift.
An "antiquifried" honey jar?
Does this mean that Pooh
is not so very smart after all?
It is my opinion that
our friend Pooh Bear
is the Poohiest bear
I have ever known.
Oh, good.
Now that that's settled,
let's all enjoy
this birthday slice.
Yeah, Pooh boy.
Now that's a terrifically
smart idea.
And friendly, too.
