History WMG / WinnieThePooh

Originally Eeyore was a real boy but then after a trip to Pleasure Island, he was turned into a donkey. Being a donkey that could still talk, Eeyore wasn't sold off to slave labor right away. Being smart enough to figure out how to escape, Eeyore left the Island, only without a tail. Also, the magic that turned Eeyore into a donkey is also what has kept him alive for a long time, making his life long and agonizing.

The franchise actually happens roughly in real time each Christopher Robin we see is really a different kid coming into the woods to play with the immortal stuffed animal inhabitants. The stuffed animals are unaware that humans age and assume all of the kids are Christopher Robin the original kid to come into the woods and the kids are all too polite too correct them.

''ThePrincessAndTheFrog'' was an experiment to see if hand-drawn animated films, done the traditional way, are still profitable. Sadly, it never gave a clear answer since even though it was very profitable. It had to compete against 3 other blockbuster heavy-weights in theaters, Disney was expecting ''record-breaking'' ticket sales akin to ''TheLionKing'', and it was not released in 3D. ''Winnie The Pooh'' was released 2 years later, and even though it was planned before anyone knew ''Princess'' wouldn't live up to Disney's expectations, ''Winnie'' is only under an hour long, and was done for a fraction of the budget ''Princess'' was. The whole setup felt like a big "screw it let's end in a putter" situation. As of 2012, there are no plans for another hand-drawn animated film from Disney. '''''...think about it.'''''

This occurred to me while lying in bed and it boggles the mind that my fellow tropers have not made the connection. What if all of the stories/episodes/movies/etc. were "play sessions" ala the opening of WesternAnimation/ToyStory 3? Perhaps Christopher Robin, like Bonnie, includes himself in the adventures occasionally and simply ignores the, shall we say, fourth wall of the play to a certain extent to accommodate any "injuries" the toys sustain. This also tidily solves the problem of the wood changing about constantly.

** Jossed by the first film ''and by the book. They both say that Eeyore was always a plush donkey "stuffed with sawdust".

** It could be a bit of [[{{Discworld/CarpeJugulum}} gnarly ground]], where the geography corresponds with your emotions.

** But then why does Hobbes move around Calvin when the ToyStory toys don't move around people?

Tigger isn't the last of his species, he could just be the last surviving member of a clan known as Tigger...all the other members being dead (probably by the hands of one of it's own) not unlike another [[{{Naruto}} clan...]]

B'loon knows ''exactly'' what he's doing, and what he's doing is deliberately messing with everybody. Look how he without effort reduces Tigger to frightened whimpers, keeps Eeyore from enjoying a nice thistle, scares the living daylights out of Piglet, and as his main XanatosGambit manages to get all the animals to fall into the pit. Only to fly off for "help," so that he can grab all the credit for himself, become the hero of the day and snatch the prize honey away from the disappointed Pooh. What a jerk.

* Or it's the up to now forgotten (except for Christopher Robin) definite masculine article in English, which overrules the feminine name.

Owl's ultimate goal is to find someone to read his memoir to in order to fullfil his self-indulgent needs. He figures that Pooh is the most easily manipulated, so he sees to it that Pooh has no access to honey by way of taking all of Pooh's personal honey in the middle of the night (thus giving Pooh a reason to leave his house at all), stealing Eeyore's tail and making sure that the best tail choices in the contest go to other characters so that THEY would get the pot of honey instead of Pooh, and making up the story about the Backson so that everyone would be out looking for it all day and Pooh would be as hungry as possible by the end of the day. Owl makes the only honey accessible to Pooh the honey at his own house, and offers Pooh honey on the condition that he sit and listen to him read from his autobiography. This all makes Owl a MagnificentBastard.
