| My favourite of the Winnie the Pooh vignettes!
This is a wonderful gem, with great memorable songs by the Sherman Brothers, and excellent animation.

The story is great fun, with Pooh running out of honey and climbing up a tree to get it. Afterwards, he gets stuck in the door of Rabbit's house and has to wait until he's thin enough to budge.

The characters were wonderful, especially Gophyr, I particularly loved the phrase, "that supercilious scoundrel has confiscated my honey". They are well voiced by the likes of Sterling Holloway, John Fiedler and Junius Matthews, with Sebastian Cabot giving a thoughtful insight as the narrator.

This vignette is wonderful, highly recommended! 10/10 Bethany Cox

Quotes

Narrator: Winnie the Pooh crawled out of the gorse bush, brushed the prickles from his nose, and began to think again.
Winnie the Pooh: Think, think, think.
Narrator: And the first person he thought of was...
Winnie the Pooh: Winnie the Pooh?
Narrator: No, Christopher Robin.
Winnie the Pooh: Oh.

Goofs

Roo and Gopher pull Eeyore's tail off in the process of trying to pull Pooh out of Rabbit's front door. However, when Eeyore is seen at the honey tree immediately following Pooh's extrication (and subsequently getting stuck again in the honey tree), his tail is back on.

Alternate Versions

When released in _Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, The (1977)_, Bruce Reitherman, who voiced Christopher Robin, was replaced by a different actor. Furthermore, the closing scene of this short (mainly the animation of the book pages) was altered so as to segue into the next scene rather than bring the short to an end, as is the case with the original short.
