History WesternAnimation / TheNewAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh

* AdultFear: In "Find Her, Keep Her", Rabbit experiences this when Kessie nearly falls off a cliff to her death. In "Babysitter Blues", Kanga goes through this when Roo and Tigger's hide-and-seek game works too well.

** In "Eeyi Eeyore," Rabbit gives his garden to Eeyore after Eeyore seemingly makes a seed grow into a flower when Rabbit couldn't. (It's actually Piglet disguised as a flower so Eeyore won't be sad when the seed doesn't grow.) Eeypre tries without much success to get the hang of vegetable gardening, while Rabbit in turn moves into Eeyore's house and starts acting gloomy like him.

* LivingToys: The cast, minus [[FullNameBasis Christopher Robin]] and sundry antagonists are living plushies; as per the book. The episode "Monkey See, Monkey Do Better" featured an obnoxious clockwork gorilla in a blue three-piece-suit and matching top hat Chris was set to receive for his birthday.

** In "There's No Camp Like Home", a family of heffalumps are introduced with the papa Heffalump being allergic to pretty much ''anything'', such as deep dark pits, heights and "furry woodland creatures". He lets out a mighty sneeze once someone reminds him about his allergies.

* SwappedRoles: Nearly everyone in "Sham Pooh." When Pooh eats too much honey and finds he can't eat anymore, Tigger decides that he must not really be Pooh, because Pooh always has room for honey. Through InsaneTrollLogic, he determines that Owl is Pooh, Gopher is Owl, Piglet is Gopher and Rabbit is Piglet. They spend the rest of the episode acting like each other until the real Pooh gets his appetite back.

* SignatureLaugh: Tigger's "Hoo-hoo-hoo-HOO!" Eeyore even imitates it (in his usual deadpan voice) when trying to [[IJustWantToBeYou be like Tigger]] in "The New Eeyore."

* SneezeOfDoom: In "There's No Camp Like Home", a family of heffalumps are introduced with the papa Heffalump being allergic to pretty much ''anything'', such as deep dark pits, heights and "furry woodland creatures". He lets out a mighty sneeze once someone reminds him about his allergies.

%%* SwappedRoles: Nearly everyone in "Sham Pooh."

Despite ending its run after four seasons, the show was kept alive for more than a decade and a half afterward through package films consisting of footage from the show, along with standalone episodes making ideal extras for many video and DVD releases of later Pooh featurettes.

* ReplacedTheThemeTune: The ''Growing Up with Pooh'' (''The Magical World of Winnie the Pooh'' in the UK) DVD releases of the series do use a different intro and theme however.

* {{Mondegreen}}: In "My Hero", while trying to use mathematics, Owl says the word "hypotenuse", but Gopher mishears him and says, "Hey! Who are you calling a hippopotamus?"

** The first episode "Pooh Ought to be in Pictures'' helps set the scene for how dark the series can get as it opens with a dream sequence of Christopher Robin, Pooh, Tigger, and Piglet being chased by [[IncrediblyLamePun the mummy]] in a haunted castle. They later go see a monster movie at a local cinema and are inspired to make their own, with Tigger's own costume being ''too'' effective at scaring the others and Rabbit. Pooh even ends up in real danger thanks to the costume.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared this one to the original featurettes, and more to the later movies and shows such as ''My Friends Tigger and Pooh'' this show has surprisingly many dark, mature and scary moments, even if most of them have a distinct comical undertone. While it's all still thoroughly light hearted and cutesy, this is probably as Dark And Edgy as you'll ever see Winnie the Pooh, aside from ''Pooh's Grand Adventure'', obviously.

''TheNewAdventures of Franchise/WinnieThePooh'' is a Disney animated TV series in the style of the original ''WesternAnimation/TheManyAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh'', the second ''Franchise/WinnieThePooh'' television series. It ran originally started on January 17, 1988 on The Disney Channel, moving to ABC's Saturday morning lineup in September of that same year[[note]]That season, its second, joining up with the fifth of ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGummiBears'' for ''The Gummi Bears/Winnie the Pooh Hour''[[/note]] and airing new episodes until October 26, 1991, while reruns aired until September 4, 1993 and again from December 9, 1995 until September 7, 2002, including a spot on Disney's Creator/OneSaturdayMorning and also on Disney's Playhouse Disney block. It also had a number of VHS releases and was also featured on a number of [=DVDs=]. The show also won back-to-back Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Animated Program twice in 1989 and 1990.

** The theme song singer sounds like [[Music/KennyLoggins Kenny Loggins]], who wrote the classic 1971 song "House at Pooh Corner," a loving tribute to Pooh. If it's not Loggins singing, then Disney hired a [[Main/SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute Suspiciously Similar Substitute]] that sounds exactly like him.

* TwoShorts: Interestingly, while the majority of installments were presented as two elven minute stories, nearly as many others were presented as a single 22 minute episode. These weren't necessarily special episodes either and their placement seems almost random.

* UnexpectedlyDarkEpisode: The fourth episode, [[Recap/TheNewAdventuresOfWinnieThePoohS1E4FindHerKeepHer "Find Her, Keep Her"]], while not particularly dark, has a BittersweetEnding and is far more emotionally complex than any other episode of the show, or any animated show at the time, for that matter.

* AscendedExtra: Gopher was intended to be Piglet's replacement in the ''Many Adventures'' segments. Here, he's a main character and receives more focus and screen time than Kanga, Roo, and Owl.

* DemotedToExtra: Kanga and Roo made sporadic appearances throughout Season One and then disappeared altogether besides a couple episodes. Christopher Robin, despite being a regular in Season One, also became a nominal cast member afterwards.

* ParrotExpowhat: In ''[[Recap/TheNewAdventuresOfWinnieThePoohS1E8bMonkeySeeMonkeyDoBetter Monkey See, Monkey Do Better]]'', Rabbit challenges toy ape Bruno to gardening.

* TrainingFromHell: An entirely unintentional example on the part of Rabbit in ''Tigger's Shoes''. In order to keep Tigger from wrecking his garden, Rabbit tricks him into trying to bounce to the top of Castle Ridge while wearing "The Jumping Shoes of the Awesome Bunny of Upsidaisy-a" (in reality normal tennis shoes weighed down with metal junk). While Tigger can barely get off the ground whilst wearing the shoes, they give him a fantastic workout, and when they come off he clears Castle Ridge in his sleep. Even when the ruse is revealed Tigger is elated, believing Rabbit to have been training him on purpose.

* VileVillainSaccharineShow: With the literally "vile villain" being Crud from the episode ''Cleanliness Is Next To Impossible''.

'''Gopher:''' Might be painful... but it could hurt alot, too.\\

%%* FracturedFairyTale:
%%** The episode "Three Little Piglets".
%%** While not a Fairy Tale, the episode "The Monster Frankenpooh" is fractured storytelling.

* AscendedExtra: Gopher was just brief comic relief in the ''Many Adventures'' segments. Here, he's a main character and receives more focus and screen time than Kanga, Roo, and Owl.

** Rabbit does it twice in "Luck Amok," when Tigger pulls the plug in the bathtub, and Rabbit gets sucked down the drain and he sees his watermellons rolling down on him.
