Line 1:
{{work}}{{Heartwarming}}
The ''[[Winnie the Pooh]]'' series thrives on heartwarming, particularly the Disney installments, so picking out examples is difficult. But here's a shot anyway...
 
Line 5:
* One moment from ''The House at Pooh Corner'' deserves special mention: Piglet giving up his own house to Owl.
** Followed by Pooh ''immediately'' telling Piglet that he can come and live with him.
* In the last book, ''The House at Pooh Corner'', the final scene (with Christopher Robin and Pooh spending their last childhood day together before Christopher Robin goes off to school) is a several-pages-long [[Heartwarming Moments (Sugar Wiki)|Heartwarming Moments]], and ends with these words:
{{quote| So they went off together. But wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on the top of the forest, a little boy and his bear will always be playing.}}
* Even ''Return to the Hundred Acre Wood'', for all its flaws, manages to pull off a Heartwarming Moment ending, that's somewhat reminiscent of the original ending but still does its own thing. Christopher Robin, after spending the summer with his friends, has to leave and go back to school again, and Pooh and Piglet philosophize over the changing nature of things before going off together:
{{quote| So off they went, together. And if you pass by the Hundred Acre Wood on an early autumn evening, you might see them, arm in arm, strolling contentedly under the trees, until they are swallowed up by the mist.}}
* The scene in ''The House at Pooh Corner'' where Pooh sings a song to himself while trying to decide who to visit ("I could spend a happy morning seeing Roo/I could spend a happy morning being Pooh"), but then goes tramping off to Piglet's house, while the narration reveals that that's what he'd planned on doing all along:
{{quote| I could spend a happy morning seeing Piglet,<br />
And I couldn't spend a happy morning ''not'' seeing Piglet... }}
 
Line 21:
* The "Little Mr. Roo" song from ''Pooh's Heffalump Movie''
* This scene between Chris and Pooh from the ending of Pooh's Grand Adventure:
{{quote| '''Chris:''' "Pooh, promise you won't forget about me, ever. Not even when I'm a hundred."<br />
'''Pooh:''' "How old shall I be then?"<br />
'''Chris:''' "Ninety-nine."<br />
'''Pooh:''' "I promise." }}
** The exchange comes from the last original novel, ''The House At Pooh Corner'', as shown above. The Disney version, for some reason, changes these end lines from the book and delivers an ending that, while still a legitimate Heartwarming Moment, is a bit more of a [[Tear Jerker]]:
{{quote| Wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in their enchanted place on top of the forest, a little bear will always be waiting. }}
* The ending to ''The Tigger Movie'' has to count, after Tigger accepts his friends as his real family and shares gifts and kind words to them. Roo, [[Aren't You Forgetting Someone?|seemingly ignored again is left dejected]], until Tigger snatches him up and presents him with his gift, his previous [[Orphan's Plot Trinket]].
{{quote| '''Tigger:''' Only the best, for my bestest little brother...}}
** Roo's entire view of Tigger throughout the movie counts as heartwarming or a [[Tear Jerker]]. While Roo had always been friends with Tigger throughout the Disney features, ''The Tigger Movie'' expands as to why; he wants a big brother to look up to (he even has tons of drawings of him with Tigger together hanging on his bedroom wall, he outright idolizes him). It is somewhat fitting that ''The Tigger Movie'' [[Ascended Fanboy|begins Roo's expanded role in the series]]. This was expanded on a bit more in ''Springtime With Roo'' where we see Tigger's perspective of their friendship and his desire to keep Roo happy.
** There's something heartwarming about the scene where Pooh tries to sing the bees to sleep, while Piglet and Eeyore wait around for him to come back. If you just came off watching the original Pooh movies, it gives you the feeling of being home again.
Line 36:
** The usually snarky and harsh [[YouTube]] repliers filled the video's pages with touching comments about how they watched it and felt like a child again!
* One moment from both ''The House at Pooh Corner'' and ''[[The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh]]'' deserves special mention: Piglet giving up his own house to Owl.
** Followed by Pooh ''immediately'' telling Piglet that he can come and live with him.
{{quote| '''Rabbit:''' But Piglet, where will ''you'' live?<br />
'''Piglet:''' ''(walking off by himself, sniffling and wiping his eyes with his bib)'' W-well...I guess...I shall live...I suppose...I shall live...<br />
'''Pooh:''' ''(catches up to him and takes his hand)'' With ''me.'' You shall live with me. Won't you, Piglet? }}
*** Pooh then asks Christopher to "make a one-hero party into a two-hero party", so that Piglet can share the party with him as well.
