IMDb profile

Winnie the Pooh: Springtime with Roo is a direct-to-video animated film, featuring characters from Disney's Winnie-the-Pooh franchise.

[edit] Plot

A wonderful adaptation of the Charles Dickens's classic, A Christmas Carol. An overexcited Roo, along with Pooh, Piglet, Tigger and Eeyore, pay Rabbit a visit to celebrate Easter. But instead of finding an Easter party they find a Spring Cleaning Day celebration. Rabbit refuses to celebrate Easter and a very disappointed Roo tries to cheer him up. How can they celebrate Easter without the Easter Bunny? Past, present and future intertwine in this marvelous movie, as the characters jump from page to page, teaching everyone a very valuable lesson.

[edit] Trivia

• Christopher Robin, Owl and Gopher are absent in this film.
• The way the narrator talks to Rabbit about his bad attitude and what will happen if it continues pays homage to A Christmas Carol. Also, Tigger says "What the Dickens, and I do mean the Dickens." later on in the film.
