Trivia:

The trap Kanga is caught in includes a life preserver labeled HMS Ashdown; much of the Hundred Acre Wood is modeled on Ashdown Forest (and vice versa; there is now a feature known as the Heffalump Trap).

Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Early in the movie, Tigger complains that his family portrait is ruined. The portrait appears to show two "adult" Tiggers each side of Tigger himself. However, in The Tigger Movie (2000) it was firmly established that Tigger has no family.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Winnie the Pooh: [narrating] This is one of my favorite once-upon-a-times, although I'm not quite sure which time it was once upon. But it had been so nice and summery in the Hundred Acre Wood and the sunshine was as warm as a blanket. And the streams were gurgling happily. As - as happily as a tumbly full of honey, hoo, which is very happy. But all that changed when... the stranger came.

My 2-Year-Old Says "Two Thumbs Up!"

We have seen this movie 4 times with our 2-year-old daughter. She absolutely loves it. Original music by Carly Simon is catchy and fun. It's also nice to hear the characters singing the tunes, instead of having the songs as filler. The story unwinds as Tigger, Eeyore, Pooh, Rabbit and Piglet decide to go on an expedition to catch the infamous Heffalump. Roo, too young to join the group, sets out on his own and meets Lumpy, the young Heffalump. The two quickly become friends and play in the Hundred Acre Wood until it's time to go home and they try to find their mommies. The only scary parts - when Roo enters Heffalump Hollow, when Roo and Lumpy are missing their moms, and when everyone tries to trap Lumpy - are quickly resolved. Great message about accepting others who are different - and a little reminder that no matter how big you get, you still need your mommy. It's only about an hour long, so stay for the credits. The scenes are classic Pooh scenes, with Lumpy joining in. Can't wait for the DVD!
