Always tell the truth, even though you might face consequences.
What you think might be broken, isn't actually broken after all.
Artistic License – Physics: Christopher Robin gets the balloon floating perfectly again by blowing it back up; in reality, air would've just let the balloon drop to the ground, because it uses helium gas to float.
Balloonacy: Pooh flying on the balloon in the opening scene; he even sings about it.
Bubble Gum Popping: Tigger's attempt to replace the balloon is to blow one out of bubble gum. It pops immediately, covering him, Rabbit and Piglet in gum.
Ending by Ascending: The episode ends with Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and Rabbit floating into the air on the balloon after Christopher Robin blows it back up.
The Faceless: The talking balloons in Pooh's nightmare.
Guilt-Induced Nightmare: Feeling guilty for popping the balloon, Pooh dreams that he's on trial for it and found guilty.
Joker Jury: Pooh has a nightmare in which he is put on trial by a jury of talking balloons after being responsible for popping Christopher Robin's balloon. The balloon is actually just deflated, not popped.
Title Drop: At the end of the episode, as the balloon carries Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and Rabbit away, Christopher Robin shouts, "Hey, come back, you balloonatics!"
