Based on the first two chapters of the Winnie-the-Pooh book written by A. A.

Sherman and Robert B. Sherman). Background music was provided by Buddy Baker.
DELIGHTFUL ENTERTAINMENT! At last, the "bear of very little brain" but lots of enchanted stuff(ing) brings his pooh-whimsy to the screen. (taglines)
Winnie the Pooh[edit]
- Oh, yes! Time for my stoutness exercise!
- That buzzing noise means something. Now, the only reason for making a buzzing noise that I know of is because you are…a bee! And the only reason for being a bee is to make honey. And the only reason for making honey is so I can eat it.
Eeyore[edit]
- No matter. Most likely lose it again anyway.
Chorus[edit]
- [singing] Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh.
Tubby little cubby all stuffed with stuffed with fluff.
He's Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh.
Willy nilly silly old bear.
Dialogue[edit]

- Christopher Robin: But, just a minute. You can't fool the bees that way.
- Winnie the Pooh: You'll see.
- Winnie the Pooh: There, now. [laughing] Isn't this a clever disguise?
- Christopher Robin: What are you supposed to be?
- Winnie The Pooh: I'm a little black rain cloud, of course.

- 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: [chuckles] No, Christopher Robin.
- Winnie the Pooh: Oh.
- Winnie the Pooh: Oh bother. How long will that take?
- Eeyore: [replied] Days, weeks, months, who knows?
