''[[The New Adventures]] of [[Winnie the Pooh]]'' is a Disney animated TV series in the style of the original ''[[The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh|Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh]]'', the second ''[[Winnie the Pooh]]'' television series. It ran originally from 1988-1991 and for several years in reruns, including a Saturday morning spot on Disney's [[One Saturday Morning]] and also on Disney's Playhouse Disney block. It also had a number of VHS releases and was also featured on a number of DVDs.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Actionized Sequel]]: To an extent, some of the stories are more intense than previous Pooh features. Most notably this is the [[White and Grey Morality|only interpretation of the franchise to occasionally use real villains]] (even if most of them are [[Poke the Poodle|pretty low scale]] and [[Harmless Villain|nearly as hapless as Pooh]]).
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: Nearly every supporting character gets at least two or three episodes where they are the main focus.▼
* [[And Starring]]: When Paul Winchell was still a part of the series, he received the credit "And Paul Winchell as Tigger."
* [[Be Yourself]]: Tigger tries to teach Eeyore the secret to being liked: "I've just got to be me!" Unfortunately, Eeyore interprets this as "[[I Just Want to Be You|I've just got to be Tigger]]"...
* [[Calling Card]]: The Pack Rats' gimmick of stealing things and leaving behind walnuts as "payment".
* [[Calvin Ball]]: It is not at all clear what the point of the game that they are playing in "What's the Score, Pooh?" is, or what even the basics of the game are.
* [[Christmas Episode]]:
* [[Clothing Damage]]: The back of Pooh's shirt gets torn off at the end of "Gone with the Wind".▼
* [[Continuity Nod]]: In "Friend,
** On a similar note, one episode says that Pooh is a pro at doing "nothing," a reference to the end of the film.
* [[Crazy Enough to Work]]: In "Things That Go Piglet in the Night
▲* [[Clothing Damage]]: The back of Pooh's shirt gets torn off at the end of "Gone with the Wind".
* [[Cultural Translation]]:
▲* [[Crazy Enough to Work]]: In "Things That Go Piglet in the Night," Tigger's plan to help Eeyore swing from the tree is to attach wooden wings and a parachute, and then launch him from another swing. Even Tigger is shocked that this works.
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Compared this one to the original featurettes, and even more to the later movies and shows such as ''My Friends Tigger and Pooh'', this show has surprisingly many dark and scary moments, even if most of them have a distinct comical undertone. This is probably as Dark And Edgy as you'll ever see Winnie the Pooh.
▲* [[Cultural Translation]]: Moreso than the original: Christopher Robin now had an American accent and lived in what looked like a typical US suburb -- albeit one that seems to use the British street-numbering system.
▲* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Compared this one to the original featurettes, and even more to the later movies and shows such as ''My Friends Tigger and Pooh'' this show has surprisingly many dark and scary moments, even if most of them have a distinct comical undertone. This is probably as Dark And Edgy as you'll ever see Winnie the Pooh.
* [[Dark Reprise]]: "There's No Camp Like Home" opens with Piglet in a scary version of "Heffalumps and Woozles" from ''Blustery Day''.
▲* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: Nearly every supporting character gets at least two or three episodes where they are the main focus.
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: Villains aren't very common and often turn out friendly after all.
* [[Disney Acid Sequence]]: "Eeyore's Tail Tale" has one starring Tigger the Private Ear chasing Eeyore's tail through a very trippy, cartoony city, including some classic cartoon chase-scene gags.
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Winnie the Pooh is placed in house arrest for "breaking the law of gravity
* [[Doomed Supermarket Display]]: In "A Pooh
* [[Duck Season! Rabbit Season!]]: Played with in "The Monster Frankenpooh

* [[Dumbass Has a Point]]: In "Three Little Piglets", when Pooh's attempt to read the story of the ''[[Three Little Pigs]]'' strays into a scene more resembling ''[[Little Red Riding Hood]]'':
{{quote|'''Tigger:''' Say, for a Big Bad Bunny, he's sure not being very bad.
'''Rabbit:''' "For once, you're right, Tigger. We have lost track of the story, haven't we?"
** In "A Knight to Remember
{{quote|'''Rabbit''': How can we play with missing pieces?
'''Pooh''': By [[Role
'''Tigger''': Are my ears on too tight or is Fluff Boy making sense?
* [[The Eeyore]]: [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Guess who.]] Although in the episode "Donkey for a Day," after surviving his friends' attempts at cheering him up, Eeyore explains that he isn't really depressed. In fact, he's happy because he gets to watch [[Visual Effects of Awesome|the most breathtaking sunset ever seen.]]
* [[Forgotten Birthday]]: In "How Much
* [[Fractured Fairy Tale]]: The episode "Three Little Piglets".

* [[Interacting with Shadow]]: In one episode, Piglet befriends his shadow when his friends were too busy with their own activities to play with him.
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Most everyone agrees Rabbit's a jerk, but he has several moments throughout the series and features where he's clearly a softy and a good friend in the long run.
* [[Joker Jury]]: The trial by balloons in "Balloonatics".
* [[Lady Mondegreen]]: Used in-universe. Tigger's alter ego "The Masked Offender" (from a mishearing of "The Masked Avenger", the hero from a story Christopher Robin read to them).
* [[Malaproper]]: Mostly Tigger, but occasionally other characters too, such as Pooh.
** Tigger is the origin of this, at least in Winnie the Pooh. Heffalump, Woozle, Gabloon, Animule, just about anything except Jagular which Pooh came up with.
* [[Most Common Card Game]]: A group of "horse thieves" (actual horses) in "
* [[Never Say "Die"]]: When Rabbit disappears in one of Gopher's many dynamite explosions and a search of the area fails to turn up any sign of hide nor bunny, Tigger states glumly, "We're just gonna have to face it! Bunny-Boy is gone."
* [[The New Adventures]]

* [[Or My Name Isn't]]: At least two episodes had Pooh say, "...or my name isn't Winnie the Pooh! Which it is..."
* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: Pooh's disguise as the Masked Bear was literally just a mask. Possibly justified by being part of a [[Show Within a Show]].

* [[The Promised Land]]: The Land Of Milk and Honey
* [[Real After All]]: Prior to this series, Heffalumps and Woozles were merely creatures of Pooh and the others' imagination in both the original books and Disney features. Starting from ''New Adventures'', they begin appearing in person, usually as bumbling antagonists.
* [[The Runt At the End]]: "The Piglet Who Would Be King" had a herd of heffalumps thunder past, followed by a tiny heffalump chanting "The land of milk and honey! The land of milk and honey! Hooray!"
* [[Sanity Slippage]]: Rabbit, very quickly, when he first starts taking care of Kessie, giggling and making faces like maniac and babbling about having carrots to take care of. He snaps out of it before long, though.
* [[Scooby-Dooby Doors]]: Part of the [[Disney Acid Sequence]] in "Eeyore's
* [[Shout-Out]]: In "Rabbit Takes a Holiday", the others manage to completely destroy Rabbit's home and garden while he's away, so they erect huge murals depicting them in pristine condition to try to fool him. [[Blazing Saddles|Sound familiar?]]
