History Series / TheBookOfPooh

* NotSoAboveItAll: "Hare and Share Alike" marks one of very few times where [[TeamMom Kanga]] pivots the usual ComicallyMissingThePoint plot line, thinking all of Rabbit's crops had failed to grow after he had just harvested all of them from his garden. She also willingly takes part in many of the show's wacky music numbers with the others.

* NoFourthWall: Fairly regularly, again with the narrator. The characters regularly talk to the narrator (as is long tradition in the franchise in general), and the narrator even becomes the subject of one of the stories, "Mr. Narrator."

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Honey for Pooh as usual. Tigger also seems to like peanut butter on any type of sandwich he eats, such as peanut butter and marshmallow or peanut butter and banana just to name two examples.

* TheMentor: Owl takes on this role towards Kessie.

* FantasticRacism: Kanga and Roo seemingly get a bit of this when they first move to the Hundred Acre Wood, until Owl puts the kibosh on it. (From the song "Someone New to Meet": "Who do they think they are, [[DoubleStandard bouncing like they do]]? / They're different! They're not the same! They're most peculiar!")

* AscendedExtra: Kessie, the young bluebird, first appeared only in two ''New Adventures'' episodes and a direct-to-video ChristmasSpecial; here, she is a permanent resident of the Hundred Acre Wood and features in limelight stories as often as the others.

The show is something of a SpiritualSuccessor to the 80s' ''Welcome to Pooh Corner'', using a similar live-action green-screen format; yet here all the cast are depicted by puppets and the backgrounds are full CGI 3-D. Besides some odd liberties with the continuity and traditional characterizations of Pooh and friends, the show sticks closely to the usual storytelling and aesthetics of the Disney franchise, with even most of the then-current voice cast reprising their roles.

* BigBrotherWorship: Roo of Tigger, even more so than usual. In "The Bounce of a Lifetime", Roo even sings of how much he idolizes Tigger.

''The Book of Pooh'' is an American children's television series that aired on Disney Channel. It is the third television series to feature the characters from [[Franchise/WinnieThePooh the Disney franchise based on A. A. Milne's works]]; the other two were the live-action ''Welcome to Pooh Corner'' (to which this series bears resemblance) and the animated ''The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh'' which ran from 1988–1991. It premiered on January 22, 2001 and completed its run on July 8, 2003.

The show is something of a SpiritualSuccessor to ''Welcome to Pooh Corner'', utilising a similar live action green-screen format, in this case however, all the cast are depicted through puppets and the added backgrounds are now full CGI 3D. Besides some odd liberties with the continuity of the first film however, the show sticks closely to the usual storytelling and aesthetics of the Disney franchise otherwise, with even most of the current voice cast of the time reprising their roles.

* ADayInTheLimelight: As usual with the franchise, pretty much every character gets a few episodes centred around them. Even the ''narrator'' gets one.
* AscendedExtra: Kessie only appeared in two ''New Adventures'' episodes and a ChristmasSpecial. Here she is a resident of the Hundred Acre Wood and even gets her own limelight stories.

* BigBrotherWorship: Roo to Tigger, even more so than usual. He even has a number dedicated to how much he idolises Tigger in "The Bounce of a Lifetime".
* BindleStick: In "Scaredy Cat," when Tigger is asked by Owl to housesit, he brings his possessions to Owl's place using one of these.
* BorrowedCatchphrase: Roo sometimes refers to Rabbit with Kessie's original nickname for him; "Rabbie".
* TheBusCameBack: Kanga and Roo were absent for Season One. They returned as regulars for Season Two.
* CharacterExaggeration: Helped a lot by his puppet, Rabbit is even more flamboyant and camp than usual. Reversed for some other characters, [[LovableCoward Piglet]] is a bit less meek and more willing to play voice of reason for example, while [[KnowNothingKnowItAll Owl]] is more genuinely intelligent.
* DisneyAcidSequence: The "Too Much Honey" song number from the story by the same name.
* FantasticRacism: Kanga and Roo seemingly get a bit of this when they first move to the Hundred Acre Wood, until Owl puts the kibosh on it. From the "Someone New to Meet" song-- "Who do you think the are bouncing like they do? ... They're different! They're not the same! They're most peculiar!"

* IMinoredInTropology: "Do the Roo" establishes Kanga as a graduate of dance school and a winner of multiple awards for her stylish dance moves. Additionally, Owl performed in the theatre at Oxford and is a fan of the works of William Shakespeare.
* InsistentTerminology: In "Rabbit's Happy Birthday Party," Pooh and Piglet get lost while trying to get to Rabbit's house. Pooh, however, assures Piglet that they're not lost. They just have no idea where they are.

* ItIsPronouncedTroPay: In a story called "Chez Piglet," Rabbit convinces Piglet to open a restaurant called Chez Piglet, pronounced "Chay Piglay." He sings a song about all of the dishes being served at the restaurant, ending with "peanut butter and jel-lay."
* LampshadeHanging: At one point, Piglet, Rabbit, and Tigger lampshade how Pooh's honey pots spell H-U-N-N-Y, when it's spelled H-O-N-E-Y. Rabbit concluded that maybe it's because Pooh spelled it on how it sounds.
* MagicFeather: In "Bravehat," the titular NiceHat is one of these. When Piglet ends up discovering and wearing a stylish black hat, he ends up scaring off some bees that are bothering Pooh while flailing about because hat is covering his eyes. Pooh declares to be a "bravehat" and afterwards, Piglet commit some brave acts while wearing it, including sleeping without his nightlight. In the end, he goes into the Scary Woods to rescue Eeyore, only for the hat to snag on a branch just as he's entering without him noticing. When he returns with Eeyore, he at first faints about discovering he left the hat behind, but then everyone realizes it was really Piglet who was brave.
* NoFourthWall: Fairly regularly, again with the narrator. The characters regularly talk to the narrator, and the narrator even becomes the subject of one of the stories, "Mr. Narrator."

* ReadingIsCoolAesop

* WhosOnFirst: In "Who Is Me?", Pooh receives a note that reads "Dear, Pooh. I miss you. Please come to lunch. Signed, Me." Since Pooh can't read, he ends up having Owl read the note. Owl reads it out loud verbatim, causing Pooh to think at first that it's ''Owl'' that invited him to lunch. After Owl finally gets through to Pooh that he didn't write the note, he spends the remainder of the story chasing the note through the pages of the ''Book of Pooh'', trying to find out who did write it and confusing them, particularly Rabbit. In the end, it turns out that Kessie the bluebird wrote the note and she's forced to admit that, yeah, it would have saved Pooh a lot of trouble if she had actually signed her name.

* CharacterExaggeration: Helped a lot by his puppet, Rabbit is even more flamboyant and camp than usual. Downplayed for some other characters, [[LovableCoward Piglet]] is a bit less meek and more willing to play voice of reason for example, while [[KnowNothingKnowItAll Owl]] is more genuinely intelligent.

The show is something of a SpiritualSuccessor to ''Welcome to Pooh Corner'', utilising a similar live action green-screen format, in this case however, all the cast are depicted through puppets and the added backgrounds are now full CGI 3D.
