History Fridge / WinnieThePooh

* Rabbits are the most ''stupidly fragile'' animals known to veterinary medicine (the [[IncrediblyLamePun runner-up]] being the horse), a fact of which rabbit-hunters frequently take advantage; often, they don't have to actually ''hit'' a rabbit with a bullet, the sound of a gunshot will startle it sufficiently to give it a heart-attack. Having a stranger pounce on you is a very startling event. In short, Tigger's lucky Rabbit didn't ''die'' the first time they met.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh'' episode "Monkey See, Monkey Do Better", the group meets a giant wind-up gorilla GaryStu named Bruno. After he misunderstands Christopher Robin telling his friends he isn't keeping him (he had meant to say he was a gift for a friend), Bruno goes to be in the woods by himself...and then sadly declares he needs to "unwind" and pulls out his wind-up key. He gets better when the main cast finds him and puts the key back in, but ''we just saw a heartbroken toy commit'' '''''suicide!'''''

* In the 2011 movie, Kanga seems to have TookALevelInDumbass and believes the Backson story as quickly as everyone else. However one factor consistent with her more competent depictions (eg. ''Heffalump Movie''), is the scenario allowed her to closely analyse what was really going on, while in the 2011 movie, since Owl was the only (sort of) literate one of the group, she only had his word to rely on. Much like [[SmsrterThanTheyLook Pooh]], Kanga can quite easily grab the SmartBall when able to observe the problem, but is reduced to a dim follower of Rabbit or Owl when only relying on their "facts".

* The newer Pooh projects seem to cause a blotch in continuity, many of them depict Kanga and Roo being the last members of the group to move to the Hundred Acre Wood with Tigger witnessing it. But in the original film, Kanga and Roo appeared first in ''The Honey Tree'', then in ''Blustery Day'', Tigger introduced himself to Pooh.... then he introduces himself to Pooh ''again''. And to Rabbit ''again'' in ''Tigger Too''. And Pooh ''another time'' in ''The Tigger Movie''. Also given no dialogue from Pooh in ''Blustery Day'' actually specifies he's never met Tigger before (in fact he seems weary around him already), it's possible that this is just one of many, many cases Tigger made a redundant fanfare for himself, with him merely being an AbsenteeActor in ''The Honey Tree''.

* If Owl and Rabbit are real animals, as opposed to stuffed animals, then they're eventually going to age and die, [[MayflyDecemberFriendship while Pooh, Piglet, and the other stuffed animals live on.]]

** Expanding on the first point: [[spoiler:Owl knew the Backson was real because he read about it in a book, just as he claimed all along. But the viewer is led to believe that Owl, much like a young child, dreamt up the Backson on the spot and then succumbed to BelievingTheirOwnLies. After describing the Backson, Owl gives a SuspiciouslySpecificDenial by saying "I swear that all I tell you is not made up!" When asked what a Backson does, Owl spends several beats saying "I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking — and now I will tell you!", making it look like he needs a moment to make something up from whole cloth. When asked what ''else'' a Backson does, Owl deflects the question with "Why don't we hear some thoughts from you?" The viewer is thus convinced that the Backson is a figment of Owl's imagination. But if you rewatch the scene in the knowledge that the Backson is real, you realize that Owl simply couldn't find the book where he read about it. He spends a few moments looking for it, but at Roo's suggestion he resorts to drawing it instead. When asked what a Backson does, he needs a moment to think, not because he's making it up, but because he's trying to recall what he read. When asked what ''else'' a Backson does, he deflects the question simply because he can't remember any more details, but as usual doesn't want to admit to not knowing something. (Note how he first flips through a few pages of a book, still trying to find information about the Backson.) Unless you assume that him searching for information was just for show — which would require either malice or a ''very'' extreme case of BelievingTheirOwnLies — Owl really did read about the Backson in one of his books.]]

** It could also mean that Christopher Robin has created a new imaginary play world to which the other animals have moved, and this woodland on the brink of its imminent demise is what happens to an imaginary play world when there is no longer anyone imagining it.

--> ''And here we shall leave them. And here we shall find them again. For the boy and the bear will always be together in this remarkable place ... called the Hundred Acre Wood.''

* ''Disney/TheManyAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh'' ends with a conversation about doing nothing and staying friends forever. Now watch the beginning of ''Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin''. '''It's the same conversation, word for word''', making the latter movie the direct sequel of the former. - Kintatsu

* In ''Springtime For Roo'', the narrator presents Rabbit with a BadFuture where his ControlFreak antics have become so unbearable that the other animals have left and the Hundred Acre Wood is nothing but a barren dying woodland. But keep in mind the Hundred Acre Wood is meant to be an imaginary play world made by Christopher Robin. In other words, one of his imaginary friends has become such an overbearing part of his psyche that [[SanitySlippage every other element of his mind has withered and been forgotten]].

* In TheNewAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh episode "Monkey See, Monkey Do Better", the group meets a giant wind-up gorilla GaryStu named Bruno. After he misunderstands Christopher Robin telling his friends he isn't keeping him (he had meant to say he was a gift for a friend), Bruno goes to be in the woods by himself...and then sadly declares he needs to "unwind" and pulls out his wind-up key. He gets better when the main cast finds him and puts the key back in, but ''we just saw a heartbroken toy commit'' '''''suicide!'''''
