9''Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie'' is a 2005 direct-to-video Halloween movie in the ''Franchise/WinnieThePooh'' franchise, and the sequel to ''WesternAnimation/PoohsHeffalumpMovie''.
10
11Pooh and his friends are getting ready for Halloween, and their new heffalump friend Lumpy is also there to celebrate it for the first time, though he's nervous. When Tigger spots a mysterious figure in the woods, he believes it's a legendary creature called "The Gobloon", which roams the woods on Halloween nights, turning every victim into "jaggedy lanterns" if he catches them. But if someone manages to catch him, they get to make a wish.
12
13When Pooh inadvertantly eats all the candy, Roo and Lumpy decide to test their braveness and catch the Gobloon to make a wish for more. But when the two get lost and eventually separated, a case of misleadings lead Roo to rally the others to rescue his friend.
14
15This movie features the entirety of ''WesternAnimation/BooToYouTooWinnieThePooh'', this time told in flashback by Roo. This film is also the very last time John Fiedler voices Piglet before he passed away three months before the film was released. Fiedler died before his work was finished, so Piglet's new voice actor, Travis Oates, was brought in to finish the recording. This is also the final Pooh movie to feature David Ogden Stiers as the narrator before he passed away in March 2018.
16
17This is also the final film in the franchise to be produced by Creator/DisneyToonStudios, with the [[WesternAnimation/WinnieThePooh2011 next film]] being a SoftReboot helmed by Creator/WaltDisneyAnimationStudios.

19!''Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie'' contains examples of:
20* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Even when everyone is horrified that Pooh ate all the candy, Tigger makes an aside note about how he’s pretty impressed that Pooh was able to eat enough candy meant for the whole group on his own in such a short time.
21* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: The Gobloon's lair lies beyond the '''C'''reepy Cave, down the '''S'''limy Slide, and in the '''T'''ree of '''T'''error.
22* ArcWords: "Brave".
23* BigDamnReunion: Lumpy bursting out of the Tree of Terror, which in turn leads to Roo's wish coming true and the two friends are happily reunited.
24* BigEater: Pooh suffers this in the beginning, and in turn causes him to eat all the gang's candy.
25* BravadoSong: Roo and Lumpy sing "Brave Together" as they vow to be brave to venture into the woods and catch the Gobloon.
26* CallASmeerpARabbit: Ghosts are referred to as "spookables".
27* DarkerAndEdgier: Very mildly so compared to the previous film, since the Halloween theme gives a slightly more ominous atmosphere especially since there seems to be a malicious threat to the heroes, whereas the previous film’s threat was always made plain to just be the characters’ fears.
28* DisneyDeath: Crossed with DramaticIrony. When Roo and his friends think the Gobloon turned Lumpy into a "Jaggedy-Lantern", the audience ''knows'' this isn't the case and Lumpy is really alive, but Roo and the others don't.
29* FaceYourFears: Roo had to do this in the final act to track down the Gobloon and save Lumpy.
30* FailedAttemptAtScaring: PlayedForLaughs. At the beginning of the movie when Roo and Lumpy practice trick-or-treating at Piglet's house, the door flings open to reveal Pooh, Piglet, and Tigger wearing masks and shouting "BOO!"; instead of being spooked, Roo and Lumpy burst out laughing.
31-->'''Tigger:''' Oh, woulja look at that? We frightened 'em so much, they forgot to scream.
32* FictionalHoliday: Lumpy brings up various fictional Heffalump-themed holidays he celebrates, such as "Trumplet-Trumpet Day" and "Flapadoodle Eve".
33* FreakOut: When Roo shows the others what he believes to be Lumpy transformed into a jack o' lantern by the Gobloon, they promptly panic.
34* FriendshipSong: "Brave Together" by Lumpy and Roo.
35* GhostStory: Tigger's story about the Gobloon, as he shares about his sneakiness, turning whoever he catches into "Jaggedy-Lanterns" and how he grants one wish to whoever catches him.
36* HalloweenEpisode: The movie is set on Halloween.
37* HalloweenSongs: "Trick R' Treating With Our Friends", as Tigger and the others teach Lumpy about Halloween.
38* HistoryRepeats: As Roo notes in his retelling of ''WesternAnimation/BooToYouTooWinnieThePooh'', Lumpy is going through the same arc Piglet did of facing his fears on his first Halloween spent with the others.
39* JumpScare: Pooh, Tigger and Piglet try this on Roo and Lumpy at the beginning. It doesn't work.
40* MakeAWish: Those who manage to catch the Gobloon will get to make a wish. When Roo believes to have caught the Gobloon in the Tree of Terror in the climax, he wishes for Lumpy to return.
41* MistakenForTransformed: When Roo loses Lumpy and finds a jack o' lantern in Lumpy's likeness on the foot bridge, this leads him to believing Lumpy was turned into one by the Gobloon.
42* MotorMouth: Roo when he explains what he believes happened to Lumpy:
43-->'''Roo:''' We tried to catch the Gobloom 'cause we're gonna be brave together, and we found his tree, but I got scared and ran away, then the Gobloon got him and turned him into a jaggety lantern!\
44''({{Beat}})''\
45'''Tigger:''' Couldja start again from that first "gobloon"?
46* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Pooh’s gluttony causes him to eat all the candy Rabbit set aside for the group, setting the plot into motion.
47* NoAntagonist: There is no major villain in the movie, instead relying on the gang facing their fears, especially Roo. The Gobloon seemed to be this, but he turns out to not exist; the mysterious figure Tigger saw in the beginning turned out to be Kanga.
48* PassThePopcorn: Pooh eating all the candy, while Roo and his friends try to pull out a scared Lumpy from under the bed. This trope actually causes the whole adventure.
49* ScaryFlashlightFace: Tigger does this as he tells the story of the Gobloon.
50* {{Transflormation}}: Anyone who is caught by the Gobloon will be turned into "jaggedy lanterns".
51* TriumphantReprise:
52** "Trick R' Treating With Our Friends" returns in the end, as the animals celebrate Halloween at Kanga's house.
53** "Brave Together" is also replayed during the end credits.
54* WhamLine: Roo and Lumpy discover the misunderstanding that sparked the last act of the film:
55-->'''Roo:''' But where's your [jack o' lantern]?\
