One for the parents I had this on VHS as a child and when I saw that the series was on Disney Plus I just had to watch them with my daughter, as she loves Winnie the Pooh.
I remember the story of this particular episode being a little sad as a child, but as a first time father sitting there with my 16 month old daughter, I now truly understand why.
It's filled with the usual humour that you can expect from Winnie the Pooh and this brilliant series but, where this episode is special is that it is the story of a parent/child relationship, the journey of becoming a parent and having to let go.
I must admit there were multiple times throughout the episode that I felt myself tearing up watching it back with my daughter on my lap. Rabbit shows the emotions of what every parent feels as well as their fears that can lead to selfishness.
I have no doubt that this episode was written by a parent as it displays the immense love you have for a child, even showing how Rabbit would do anything for Kessie including risk his own safety/life to protect her.
Of course, it's not all tear jerking. There are multiple laugh out loud moments from Pooh, Piglet, Tigger and Owl in the story but where it really hits home is the relationship between Rabbit and Kessie.
A wonderful story that stands the test of time 35 years after it was made.
