History Series / TheBookOfPooh

* ItIsPronouncedTroPay: In a story called "Chez Piglet", Rabbit convinces Piglet to open a restaurant called Chez Piglet, pronounced "Chay Pig-lay." He sings a song about all of the dishes being served at the restaurant, ending with "peanut butter and jel-lay."

** Curiously Reconstructed with some other characters who have some of their quirks amped back up to how they were in the original Milne books. Eeyore, while still an AdaptationalNiceGuy, is a bit more openly grumpy and sarcastic for example, while Kanga is a bit more susceptible to the group's silly behavior.

* AbsenteeActor: Gopher, a major character from ''New Adventures'', is nowhere to be seen in any episode of this show, nor, it seems, is he even [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome mentioned]].

The show is something of a SpiritualSuccessor to the 80s' ''Series/WelcomeToPoohCorner'', 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 minor 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; this is, in fact, the first ''Pooh'' series to have Creator/JimCummings1952 as the full-time voice of Tigger after sharing the role with Creator/PaulWinchell for later episodes of ''WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh'', as well as the first series to feature Creator/AndreStojka as Owl (after having been voiced by original actor Creator/HalSmith for ''New Adventures''), Creator/KathSoucie as Kanga (reprising the role from ''WesternAnimation/TheTiggerMovie''), and Nikita Hopkins as Roo (previously voiced by Nicholas Melody).

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: In ''The Terrific Talking Tomato'', Tigger puppets one of Rabbit's tomatoes in a voiced mimicking Creator/WCFields.

* SpecialEffectFailure: Not so much a failure as a trade-off, but because of the set's background, Rabbit's and Tigger's whiskers have a length limit when a bodypart isn't behind them.

** "Happy Harvest Hare" has Piglet learn from Owl that Rabbit is "working himself silly". When Piglet goes to Rabbit, he sees Rabbit acting crazy (when really, Rabbit is just winding down with [[ItMakesSenseInContext samba music]] after tending to his garden)

** "The Rumor Millstone" has a simple fib told by Rabbit to keep Tigger out of his garden [[GossipEvolution grow out of control]], causing the characters to believe that a giant monster is coming to the wood. In the end, the chaos caused by the lie ended up [[HoistByHisOwnPetard doing more damage to Rabbit’s garden]] than Tigger did, and Rabbit regrets starting the rumor in the first place.
** Rabbit and Tigger's feud in "A Wood Divided" keeps escalating because the two are too angry to talk it out instead of needling each other. In the end, the song "If We Were Talking" helps them to get their real feelings into the open, and they reconcile.

The series aired as part of the "Playhouse Disney" block, suggesting an audience of preschool children, though some of its mechanics seem somewhat advanced: it strongly incorporates reading concepts and basic introduction to literary devices, similarly to ''Adventures in Wonderland'' (and even boasts an Oxford curriculum, as seen in the end credits).

* HeightAngst: In "Biglet", Piglet gets fed up with being short, and starts wearing stilts, giant gloves, and an amplifier in his mouth. He soon finds out there are advantages to being small when he is the only one small enough to recover Eeyore's tail from a hole.

* TheMentor: Owl to Kessie.

-->'''Pooh:''' I'm rather confused.

* BigShutUp: Piglet of all people in "King of the Heffalumps". When the others keep ignoring him in their argument, he eventually loses patience and yells out a sharp ''"STOP!"''
