Recap / The New Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh S 3 E1b Owl In The Family

Go To

When Rabbit disbelieves that Owl has any relatives at all, he organizes a family reunion to prove they're real but the guests that show up turn out to be crows in disguise.

This episode contains examples of the following tropes.

  • Comically Missing the Point:
    • This is Pooh's reaction after learning about the crows freeloading at Owl's place.
      Rabbit: Oh my! Do you realize what this means?
      Pooh: Owl's a crow?
  • Early-Bird Cameo: Both literally and figuratively; this episode features a cameo appearance by Owl's cousin Dexter, who would have a larger role in "The Bug Stops Here".
  • Handbag of Hurt: Ophelia swings her handbag at the crows to drive them out of Owl's house.
  • Late to the Realization: This winds up happening to Rabbit at the episode's ending, when he mistakes Owl's relatives for the crows.note  He's brought back up to speed after being Punched Across the Room by an annoyed Ophelia.
  • Pop-Culture Pun Episode Title: The title sounds like All in the Family.
  • Shared Family Quirks: Owl's aunt Ophelia and uncle Torbit also like sharing stories about other relatives as seen in the episode's ending.
  • The Thing That Would Not Leave: The crows become this to Owl after Pooh mistakes them for Owl's relatives, where they spend most of the time trashing his place and eating their way out of house-and-home. It isn't until Owl's real relatives arrive when they realize that the jig is up, and they flee after being whacked away by an annoyed Ophelia.
  • Visual Pun: Pooh's method of contacting Owl's relatives is by sending them letters via airmail. However, Pooh's "airmail" is merely a bunch of letters tied to a balloon that's sent drifting aimlessly away. Miraculously, it works.
