Winnie the Pooh: Difference between revisions

Line 56:

==== ''Return to the Hundred Acre Wood'': ====

* [[Aw Look They Really Do Love Each Other]]: Eeyore, who seldom has a kind word to say to Tigger, is still the first to take care of him when he gets sick, even regretting some of his harsh words.

* [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]]: Eeyore, who seldom has a kind word to say to Tigger, is still the first to take care of him when he gets sick, even regretting some of his harsh words.

* [[Canon Foreigner]] / [[Canon Immigrant]]: There is one new character, Lottie the Otter, who -- like Kanga, Roo and Tigger before her -- moves into the forest and causes a bit of a stir before ending up as an accepted and established part of the gang. While much more worldly and experienced than the rest of the cast, she cheerfully averts the [[Closer to Earth]], [[Positive Discrimination]] and [[Girls Need Role Models]] tropes by being just as stupid and scatterbrained as the boys.

* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Okay, it's ''Winnie-the-Pooh.'' so it's still pretty [[Lighter and Softer|Light And Soft]], but compared to the original books there ''is'' a subtle undercurrent that wasn't there in the original books, mostly concerning Cristopher Robin growing older.

Line 74:

* [[Big Brother Instinct]]: Pooh, despite his rather clueless and docile demeanor, cares a lot about Piglet. Tigger also acts this way to Roo (though this came into play ''a lot'' more in later features).

* [[Black Bead Eyes]]: Most of the characters.

* [[The Blind Leading the Blind]]: Used very often due to the [[Gullible Lemmings|sheer]] [[Ping Pong Naivete|cluelessness]] of the [[Cloudcuckooland|entire cast]], usually with [[Know Nothing Know It All|Rabbit or Owl]].

* [[The Blind Leading the Blind]]: Used very often due to the [[Gullible Lemmings|sheer]] [[Ping Pong Naivete|cluelessness]] of the [[Cloudcuckooland|entire cast]], usually with [[Know-Nothing Know-It-All|Rabbit or Owl]].

* [[Book Dumb]]: Arguably the highest form of intelligence in the Hundred Acre Wood. Eeyore and Kanga have the most plausible in regards to wisdom and basic common sense, but in terms of general knowledge seem near equally childlike and convinced of [[Know Nothing Know It All|Rabbit and Owl's]] superiority as [[The Ditz|Pooh]].

* [[Breakout Character]]

** Tigger wasn't really a major character in the books, appearing only in the second book, ''The House at Pooh Corner''. In the Disney adaptations, he got bigger and bigger roles until he ended up as the franchise's main star apart from Pooh himself.

Line 98:

* [[Depending On the Writer]]

** Is Tigger something of a [[Miles Gloriosus]] or [[Heroic Comedic Sociopath|too oddball to really care about his own well-being]]? His dislike for honey also varies.

** Also, is Rabbit merely a somewhat neurotic [[Only Sane Man|Only Sane Stuffed Toy]] or an embittered [[Well Intentioned Extremist]]?

** Also, is Rabbit merely a somewhat neurotic [[Only Sane Man|Only Sane Stuffed Toy]] or an embittered [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]?

** Does Roo walk/hop about on his own, or does he sometimes ride inside Kanga's pouch? It seems to vary depending on the writer.

* [[Dysfunction Junction]]

Line 123:

** The 2011 reboot is filled with this, characters interacting with letters, such as Pooh climbing out of the illustration and into the next paragraph, and the narrator, [[John Cleese (Creator)|John Cleese]], having conversations with them.

* [[No Hugging No Kissing]]: Sweet friendship moments? By all means. Actual romantic implications? ...It's frowned upon, at least by the fans. But justified; it just wouldn't seem right for a series about childhood innocence to dive into anything too serious.

* [[No Hugging, No Kissing]]: Sweet friendship moments? By all means. Actual romantic implications? ...It's frowned upon, at least by the fans. But justified; it just wouldn't seem right for a series about childhood innocence to dive into anything too serious.

** Played with in an episode of ''New Adventures'' where Tigger and Kanga are intended to play lovers in a Valentine's Day play. Tigger would much rather bounce Kanga than kiss her.

{{quote| '''Tigger:''' Couldn't I just shake her pouch a little?}}

Line 135:

* [[Serious Business]]: Honey to Pooh, and to extent the rest of the Hundred Acre Wood (par Tigger [[Depending On the Writer|on occasion]]).

* [[Shown Their Work]]: Even later more original works have occasional references to Milne's books, ''New Adventures'' occasionally refers to a few unused plot points for episode stories, ''Piglet's Big Movie'' adapts three previously unadapted stories, ''My Friends Tigger and Pooh'' even features a cameo from Small the insect.

* [[Small Name Big Ego]]: Tigger and Rabbit.

* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: Tigger and Rabbit.

* [[Sneeze of Doom]]: Present in at least ''Blustery Day'', the ''NAoWtP'' episode "A Bird in the Hand", and ''Springtime For Roo''.

* [[Speech Impediment]]: Several characters. Tigger lisps, Piglet [[Porky Pig Pronunciation|stutters]], and Gopher whistles through his teeth when he speaks.

Line 166:

* [[Barefoot Cartoon Animal]]: Lampshaded in ''Tigger & Pooh and a Musical Too'' when Pooh sings, "And it seems that you can't wear / Just one shoe, you need a pair / Even if I wore them, which I don't, I couldn't."

* [[Blind Without Em]]: Porcupine

* [[Blind Without'Em]]: Porcupine

* [[Broken Aesop]]: In "Super Duper Super Sleuths", it seemed that the message they wanted to convey was that it's important to use your brain to solve a problem same as any other episode of the show. Yet, when the Super Sleuths get superpowers, they suddenly have a much easier time solving all of their cases. It's only ''after'' they lose their superpowers that they're forced to start truly thinking again.

* [[Christmas Episode]]: "Pooh's Super Sleuth Christmas Movie"

Line 179:

* [[Screen Tap]]: At the end of the "One Big Happy Family" song in ''Tigger & Pooh and a Musical Too'', Buster licks the screen.

* [[Somewhere a Palaeontologist Is Crying]]: When Roo tells the Super Sleuths that he lost his dinosaur ( {{spoiler|It turns out to be a stuffed toy dinosaur.}}), Tigger decides that since dinosaurs lived "a bajillion years ago", the Super Sleuths just have to do what people did a bajillion years ago. As such, the Super Sleuths become the Caveman Sleuths. Because people (and Tiggers and Pooh Bears) totally lived at the same time as dinosaurs, they were just way less advanced. And spoke using cavemen speech.

* [[Spotlight Stealing Title]]

* [[Spotlight-Stealing Title]]

* [[This Is My Side]]: Down with the entire Hundred Acre Wood by Tigger and Rabbit in "Tigger & Pooh and a Musical Too" forcing everyone but Darby and Buster to pick sides.

* [[Wasn't That Fun]]: In "Buster's Bath", when the group can't persuade Buster to take a bath, they decide to try hosing him down. This results in a madcap scenario in which the water builds up because Eeyore is sitting on the hose, then when it all gets released, Piglet goes up in the air with the hose and it sprays around wildly. At the end of the whole thing, Roo exclaims, "Let's do that again!"

Line 210:

* [[Minimalist Cast]]: With a few exceptions.

* [[Orphan's Plot Trinket]]: Double subverted in ''The Tigger Movie''. Tigger finds the locket amidst his belongings, [[Genre Savvy|naturally assumes it contains a picture which will lead him to his family]], and opens it up to find... nothing. It's just another trinket. But the way he clings to it and associates it with his family makes it an example after all {{spoiler|before giving it to his "little brother" Roo)}}.

* [[Out of Focus]]: Ironically Pooh himself, [[~~Spot Light~~ Stealing Squad|due to more character centric stories]], appears as a mere side character in some features, often with [[Breakout Character|Tigger or Roo]] taking center stage instead.

* [[Out of Focus]]: Ironically Pooh himself, [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad|due to more character centric stories]], appears as a mere side character in some features, often with [[Breakout Character|Tigger or Roo]] taking center stage instead.

* [[Through a Face Full of Fur]]: Several times, Piglet (who is presumably made of cloth) is described as "turning pink".

* [[Yet Another Christmas Carol]]: Rabbit plays what is essentially an Easter variant of this in ''Springtime for Roo''.
