Bounce of a Lifetime: Tigger says to everyone that he can leap over the Scary Woods in a single bounce. But is that really possible?
Hare and Share Alike: Rabbit tries to keep his best harvest ever to himself rather than share it with his friends.
The episode as a whole contains examples of:
- Central Theme: Both plots involve An Aesop about deception, and have Kanga and Roo as Morality Pets that unwittingly sway the characters out of it.
Bounce of a Lifetime contains examples of:
- Be Careful What You Say: Tigger makes an idle brag about being able to bounce across the whole Scary Wood. Roo, who idolises Tigger, becomes obsessed with seeing him pulling it off.
- Big Brother Instinct: After his bragging gets him into mess with Roo, Tigger tries to fake leaping over the woods. Though ultimately can't go through with lying to Roo and confesses the whole thing.
- Big Brother Worship: Tigger tries to make the bounce, knowing Roo looks up to him. When he finally confesses he can't do it, he fully expects Roo to be disallusioned by him. However...Roo: But Tigger, I'd look up to you even if you couldn't bounce at all.
- "Fawlty Towers" Plot: Tigger makes one idle boast about bouncing over the Scary Wood to Roo. This culminates in him being shanghied into a big show where he has to bounce over the wood in front of everyone.
- Genius Ditz: Tigger can't bounce over the Scary Woods in one leap. He can, however, make a fully functioning catapult to throw him there. Abiding by Rabbit's fate in the end, it does the job Tigger intended for it.
Hare and Share Alike contains examples of:
- Easily Forgiven: Though it is made clear they don't approve of lying, the others are rather easy going on Rabbit despite all the worry he caused. It is somewhat justified in the case of keeping his food, since as they point out, it is his and he shares with them often anyway.
- It's All About Me: Rabbit lies about his crops not growing so he can feast on them himself for once. He finds the whole thing incredibly empty however and realises he prefers sharing them.
- Not So Above It All: While Kanga already is more susceptable to the Comically Missing the Point plots in the show than normal, this is still one of very few times in the franchise she actually instigates one. In her defence, Rabbit did it sway it along.
- Sure, Let's Go with That: Kanga is shocked to find Rabbit's garden empty, not knowing Rabbit had already harvested the vegetables and stored them away. Rabbit decides to play along.
- Unwanted Assistance: Due to the charade with Rabbit's crops, everyone thinks he is going impoverished so try to offer him food, much to his annoyance.
