=== Tropes Related to the Disney Canon: ===
* [[Cross-Dressing Voices]]: Roo was voiced by Dori Whitaker in ''Winnie-the-Pooh and Tigger Too'' and by Kim Christiansen in ''House at Pooh Corner''.
* [[Dueling Movies]]: The 2011 movie came the same weekend as ''[[Harry Potter (Filmfilm)|Harry Potter]] and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2''. The decision to set a film like this against the [[Grand Finale]] of one of the most beloved fantasy movie series of all time has Disney fans everywhere banging their heads. This decision is truly a head-scratcher, but there's a good chance fans of both would watch one and then follow it up with the other, assuming they're not planning to see ''Potter'' at midnight. (Preferred order most likely ''Deathly Hallows'', then ''Winnie the Pooh''.) It may also be a smart decision for Disney regarding families that have older and younger kids. Have one parent take the older kid to see ''Potter'' and then the other parent goes with the preschooler to see ''Pooh''. Of course, that begs the question of what to do with the younger kid once ''Pooh'' is over, since there's no such thing as a two and a half hour ''Pooh'' film.
* [[Genre Killer]]: Fans are worried that if ''Winnie-the-Pooh'' doesn't do well at the box office, it will spell the end of hand-drawn animation at Disney... again. Other fans know that it would need to take something bigger to do that. This film was modestly-budgeted ($30 million) and broke even at the box office thanks to overseas sales. DVD sales would only help.
** Played straight, as the next Disney film, ''[[Wreck It Ralph (Disney)|Wreck -It Ralph]]'' is in CG, and the one after that, ''The Snow Queen'', not only had its title shortened to ''Frozen'', but has gone from Hand-drawn to CGI. And with Glen Keane's resignation in light of Disney not having any hand-drawn movies down the line, this trope may very well be in effect!
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]
** Tigger is voiced by [[Wacky Races|Dick Dastardly]] and [[The Smurfs|Gargamel]] early on.
** Later [[Jim Cummings|he and Pooh]] are voiced by [[The Jungle Book (Disney film)|Kaa]], [[Tale Spin (Animation)|Don Karnage]] and [[Sonic theSat Hedgehog (TV)AM|Dr Robotnik]]. Enjoy.
*** In Denmark, it's Piglet who's Don Karnage.
** [[Peter Cullen|Eeyore]] is voiced by [[The Transformers Generation 1|Optimus Prime]].
*** In the 2011 film, he's voiced [[Toy Story 3|Chuckles the Clown]], [[The Incredibles|Rick Dicker]], and [[Pixar Shorts|the Jackalope.]]
** [[Kath Soucie|Kanga]] is voiced by [[Sonic theSat Hedgehog (TV)AM|Princess Sally Acorn]] and [[Rugrats (Animation)|Phil and Lil]].
** The 2011 film has Rabbit [[Tom Kenny|voiced by]] [[SpongeBob SquarePants (Animation)|SpongeBob SquarePants]] and Owl voiced by [[How to Train Your Dragon (Filmanimation)|Gobber]].
*** However, in Germany, Santiago Ziesmer (Spongebob's actor) has been ''Piglet'' since '88.
** In those old shorts... Hey, wasn't [[Ron Howard]]'s brother the original voice of Roo?

==== ''My Friends Tigger & Pooh'': ====
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Darby is [[Kick -Ass (Filmfilm)|Hit Girl.]] In hindsight, that's pretty disturbing.
** [[Mark Hamill]]: The voice of Turtle, a new character.
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Darby [[Take Up My Sword|takes over]] from Christopher Robin as the main human character in the series. Christopher Robin is now an extra with little screen time.
