Never the brightest bear in the woods, “Pooh” puts on his scarf and leaves home as the wind picks up the leaves and suggests that it’s going to be a very blustery day. He’s not the only one of his friends who has ventured out, but it’s “Piglet” who gets the worst of things when he ends up flying like a glorified kite - straight into the home of “Owl”. Now he’s the sensible one, as you’d expect, and is sitting out the storm in his armchair having a snooze. Well not for long, he isn’t, as the gale soon topples his tree and all of a sudden he ends up with a topsy-turby bungalow that’s completely uninhabitable. “Eyeore” is his usual gloomy self, but he offers to try and find “Owl” a new home. What chance? There’s a brief appearance from “Tigger” and from “Christopher Robin” but for the most part this is really just our favourite bear getting his head into the honey jar at every opportunity whilst his loyal and charming pals all band together to look out for each other as the floods join the gusts. The animation is lovely to watch, the voices add huge richness to AA Milne’s story and I was left with only one question at the end. Why didn’t “Owl” say no thanks to “Eyeore” and his final housing solution? Timeless and enjoyable.
