History TearJerker / TheNewAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh

* In "Pooh Oughta Be in Pictures", after Piglet sees that the carrot monster was just a costume and feels like a coward for being afraid of it and failing to rescue Pooh from it, he's scared by Pooh entering his home with a flash of DramaticThunder behind him. Despite Pooh's attempts to convince Piglet that he's a hero, he [[DespairEventHorizon refuses his compliment and vows to stay under his couch]] for being a "worthless, no-good, can't-even-save-my-best-friend type of animal", tearfully saying "Goodbye... Pooh Bear...". The fact that Pooh leaves to the sound of Piglet sobbing makes it even more depressing, even when [[spoiler:everything works out]].

*** When Kessie falls to an apparent DisneyDeath, Rabbit is clearly within an inch of the DespairEventHorizon as he cries, "Oh, Tigger... [[NeverGotToSayGoodbye I never even told her I loved her]]!" Granted, [[spoiler:she gets rescued by Owl and doesn't die]], but still.

* From "Tigger Is The Mother Of Invention," the destruction of Tigger's enormous implied-to-be-sentient wooden contraption. After [[HeroicSacrifice it damages itself beyond repair to dig Piglet out of his snow-buried house,]] It expands and contracts violently with [[HellIsThatNoise increasingly high-pitched and pained wheezing noises]], before completely falling apart at the seams. This isn't helped by Tigger's heartbroken reaction afterward; [[HeroicBSOD staring at the remains in horror]] as if he's just watched someone close to him die.

* "Stripes", in the New Adventures Of Winnie the Pooh. In a nutshell, Tigger loses his stripes after Rabbit, Pooh and Piglet force him to have a bath...they then fail to recognize him as a tigger, since tiggers have stripes. He tearfully sings a song about being "nothin' but stuffin'" and not having a name toward the end of the episode.

** The fact that Eeyore's (seeming) glum attitude has reached such a level that [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome the others actually call an intervention, worried what he's thinking]]. Piglet's very heartfelt lament on the situation to the others along with the dramatic music sells it. [[spoiler: Of course for once Eeyore wasn't actually depressed, but still.]]

* In "Rabbit Marks The Spot", Rabbit plays a somewhat vindictive prank on the others leaving a fake treasure chest for them to find that he filled with rocks. After a creepy nightmare however, [[HeelRealization Rabbit convinces himself that everyone will hate his guts over the prank]] and decides to move away dejected. When the others drag him back to reveal the contents, he breaks down and begs for their forgiveness [[spoiler: not realizing they failed to notice the prank and think the treasure inside is amazing]].
** It's actually better than that - [[spoiler: the stunned silence of Rabbit's friends and the looks they exchange as Rabbit is breaking down suggest that they do indeed realize the prank but also realize that Rabbit is terribly sorry and wishes he could give them a true treasure. So to raise his spirits and show him that there are no hard feelings between them, they declare the rocks to ''be'' a true treasure because they could have a multitude of uses, making them as valuable a treasure as they could ever want, which they all thank Rabbit for and even give him his share of the treasure in the form of a rock they deem a "rare and valuable doorstop."]]

* "Owl In The Family" starts with Owl becoming despondent, realising he has become estranged from his family despite spawning so many fond (and lengthy) anecdotes about them. Pooh and Piglet immediately try to soothe Owl's loneliness by sending letters to his family in their expected aimless way. [[spoiler: Rather unexpectedly, they reach them and a proper family reunion occurs.]]
* The ending of Frankenpooh, where Piglet curls up on the mantle of the fireplace and begs for forgiveness, thinking that everyone is really out to get him for creating the monster Frankenpooh, like in the story Tigger was telling about the Mad Scientist Dr Von Piglet. Tigger, Rabbit and Gopher all have to comfort him, reassuring him that the whole thing was just make-believe, no one is mad at him for real, and there is no monster.

-->'''Rabbit''': (''puts his arm around Tigger'') There, there, Tigger. It gave its all to save Piglet.

* "Stripes", in the New Adventures Of Winnie the Pooh. In a nutshell, Tigger loses his stripes after everyone forces him to have a bath...they then insist that [[WithFriendsLikeThese he can't be a tigger]], since tiggers have stripes. He sings a song toward the end of the episode, tearfully, about being "nothin' but stuffin'" and not having a name.

* A meta-example: This was Hal Smith's final performance as Owl, as he passed away shortly after the series ended. Rather fittingly and sweetly, Owl got the show's final episode "Owl's Well That Ends Well" [[ADayInTheLimelight devoted to him]]; in fact Owl's voice (namely his comically terrible singing) is the last voice ever heard in the show.

* Kanga's fear in "Babysitter Blues" over Roo having gone missing. The situation degenerates to her sobbing and wailing over his absence. (As an extra touch, an instrumental of Tigger's sad song from "Stripes" plays in the background.)

* In "The Masked Offender", Tigger takes up a hero alter ego, and predictably [[WindmillCrusader causes more problems than he solves]]. The others[[note]]except for [[SecretKeeper Piglet]], whom Tigger roped into being his sidekick[[/note]] ,not recognising him, decide to pull a prank on the Masked Offender to take revenge, though after Tigger humiliates himself and the others laugh at him, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone until he takes his disguise off and walks off dejected.]]
-->'''Rabbit:''' Tigger?! You're the Masked Offender?

* The ending of Frankenpooh, where Piglet curls up on the mantle of the fireplace and begs for forgieveness, thinking that everyone is really out to get him for creating the monster Frankenpooh, like in the story Tigger was telling about the Mad Scientist Dr Von Piglet. Tigger, Rabbit and Gopher all have to comfort him, reassuring him that the whole thing was just make-belive, no one is mad at him for real, and there is no monster.

* A meta-example: This was Hal Smith's final performance as Owl, as he passed away shortly after the series ended. Rather fittingly and sweetly, Owl got the show's final episode "Owl's Well That Ends Well" [[ADayInTheLimelight devoted to him]]; in fact his voice (performing Owl's comically terrible singing) is the last voice ever heard in the show.

*** When Kessie falls to an apparent DisneyDeath, Rabbit is clearly within an inch of the DespairEventHorizon as he cries, "Oh, Tigger... [[NeverGotToSayGoodbye I never even told her I loved her]]!" Granted, [[spoiler:she gets rescued by Owl and doesn't die]], but still, that is some ''intense'' AdultFear.

* Kanga's AdultFear in "Babysitter Blues" over Roo having gone missing. The situation degenerates to her sobbing and wailing over his absence. (As an extra touch, an instrumental of Tigger's sad song from "Stripes" plays in the background.)

*** What leads into that scene is the MoodWhiplash inducing line of "Don't you think I know?", said by Rabbit in response to Tigger happily telling Kessie, who just learned to fly, that "there's nothing holding you back now!" Ken Sansom just hit it out of the park with the delivery of that line and the lines in the scene that followed.

** What hits hardest is just the sheer amount of DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything in this episode when it comes to parent-child relationships. ''Winnie The Pooh'' actually told a story of someone becoming a parent, raising a child, and then having to let that child go with a great deal of emotion and maturity.

* In "The Masked Offender", Tigger takes up a hero alter ego, and predictably [[WindmillCrusader causes more problems than he solves]]. The others[[labelnote:except for [[SecretKeeper Piglet]], whom Tigger roped into being his sidekick]] ,not recognising him, decide to pull a prank on the Masked Offender to take revenge, though after Tigger humiliates himself and the others laugh at him, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone until he takes his disguise off and walks off dejected.]]

---> ‘‘‘Junior‘‘‘: Our home. Someone has stolen our home.

** Also from that episode is the scene where the Heffalump family discover that their house is missing, unaware that Tigger mistook it for a pile of firewood. Papa and Mama Heffalump’s reactions are humourous, with Papa doing a [[LargeHam theatrical]] {{Gasp}}, but then we cut to baby Junior’s reaction and it is anything but. [[https://youtu.be/88XOs7t258I&t=1m20s The poor little guy sounds like he is literally on the verge of tears]] as [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything he mourns the loss of what is more than likely the only home he’s ever known.]]
