[English]

[THEME SONG] Gotta get up

I gotta get going

I'm going to see a friend of mine

He's round and he's fuzzy

I love him because he's just Pooh Bear

Winnie the Pooh Bear

Looking for fun

Chasing some honeybees

Pooh bear, I know he's out there

Rumbly tumbly

Climbin' a honey tree

Fun never ends for us

We're so adventurous

Least every now and again

And when we're alone and there's nobody home

It's nice to be able to count on a friend

Like Pooh Bear

Winnie the Pooh Bear

Wherever you go

Oh, won't you take me, please,

Pooh Bear, I gotta be there

It's me and it's you

My silly old Winnie the Pooh

...

[WIND BLOWING]

...

[INTENSE ORCHESTRAL MUSIC]

...

Hold up.

Like we got a southwest turn, half flowing through.

Last time we had a wind this hard,

it took the bark right off the trees!

[WIND WHIRRING]

...

[SLAM NOISE]

By dinghy, that crazy wind gone and blown my front door off!

I can't lose that hole.

Best I ever dug!

Hey!

Gotcha!

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

...

Follow that hole!

Is it time?

Is it time?

I think the wind has gone home now, Tigger.

[LAUGHING]

Thar she blows!

[GIGGLING]

[BUBBLES POPPING]

Attention, everyone.

I have an announcement.

Grab a bubble, long ears, and join the fun.

Oh, no.

Thank you very much.

I have more important things to do,

such as Getting ready for my lecture

this evening on our friend, the lima beans, which I'm

sure you will all want to hear.

Oh!

Hey, anybody seen a hole?

A whole what?

A whole hole, that's what!

Why are you so excited?

A hole isn't anything.

It's just nothing.

Well, it's something to me.

Nothing is something.

No, no!

Nothing is something and--

[GRUNTS]

What are you trying to do, confuse me?

Imagine worrying about something as silly as a hole.

Now, remember everyone, our friend, the lima bean, tonight.

Oh, you know, Tigger, these bubbles are very lovely,

but they don't stay very lovely very long.

Long lasting bubbles--

that sounds like an invention that needs inventing.

[BUBBLING]

...

Hm, must've used too many jalapenos.

Better add a little more glue and a lot more honey.

And a little water and a dash of--

[WHIMSICAL MUSIC]

...

A pinch of dill.

[LAUGHING]

That ought to do it.

[EXPLOSION SOUND]

[GENTLE MUSIC]

...

[DRAMATIC NOTE]

...

It's incredible.

It's-- it's stupendous!

It's-- it's-- it's even got a Pooh in it.

I've got to test the possibility of this bubble!

Success!

The first unpoppable bubble!

It can't be pooped--

I mean popped!

Uh, Tigger, if you can't get in the bubble,

how will Pooh get out?

[LAUGHING]

Well, he'll just--

he'll-- say, how are you going to get out of there?

The same way I got in.

Right!

Uh, how was that?

I was hoping you'd know.

...

Whoa!

Whoa!

...

Where's that-- hole?

Eh?

[SCREAMING]

Gopher, Pooh's stuck in a bubble.

Hm.

Oh, he is!

Can't worry about that now.

Gotta find that hole.

Here, hole!

Here, boy.

[WHISTLING]

Come on.

Don't worry, buddy bear.

I'll unbuckle you if it's the last thing I do before lunch.

You want to break something, you gotta drop it.

It always works for me.

Tally ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!

Do you think it'll work?

Well, of course it'll work or my name isn't--

Tigger!

[LAUGHING]

Exactly.

Huh?

I hate to complain, but I'm getting a bit dizzy.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

...

A little more to your right.

No, your other right.

This'll get that bubble and bubble.

I certainly hope so.

Fire!

[BOUNCING SOUND]

Here, hole!

Here-- oh!

...

Look at the bright side, Pooh boy-- if it rains,

you'll never need an umbreller.

You mean I'm going to be in here forever?

There, there, Pooh.

You'll stay with me until we can break the bubble.

[HUMMING]

Can I help you with the cleaning, Piglet?

Certainly, Pooh.

Oh, bother.

[BANGING]

...

[YELLING]

I'm trying to go this way, but the bubble wants to go that way.

[BANGING]

...

Uh, Pooh, Perhaps Tigger needs some help at his house?

Take a load off your bubble, buddy bear.

But, Tigger.

I don't want to be any trouble.

[LAUGHING]

No trouble at all.

Comfy?

Well--

[CRASHING SOUND]

...

Maybe you would be happier at Rabbit's?

Bears and bubbles and holes and gophers,

don't they realize that I'm trying

to bring them some culture?

Think thin, Pooh.

[FANFARE]

[BOUNCING]

Hello, Rabbit.

Can I help you?

Help me?

Help me?

Why, look what you've undone!

You want to help?

All right.

Pooh.

I know how you can help me.

There.

Now let's get him in the tree.

When the other apples see how wonderfully big this apple is,

they'll grow too, and he'll be out of the way.

Hey, that hole showed up yet?

[WHIMSICAL MUSIC]

From back, I know!

I'll comb the forest till I find that thing!

But, Rabbit, how will Pooh come to your lecture

on our friend, the lima bean?

I'm afraid I can't have him there, Piglet.

Not with the way he bangs into everything.

He's just too much trouble.

...

Oh, bother.

[THUNDERING]

I wish I weren't such a bother to everyone.

Our friend, the lima bean, who had many lima beans

get together and go for a swim.

This week all bean soup.

I'm never going to find that hole.

Hello, Gopher.

Then?

Huh.

Still in there, huh?

What are you doing hanging in a tree?

It seems to be the only place I'm not in the way.

Guess you and me are both kind of unwelcome these days.

By crickety, don't they see?

If I could find that hole, I'd have time to be more sociable.

I wish I could help, but the only hole I know of

is the one in my pocket.

Hey!

You got a hole in your pocket?

[CLEARS THROAT]

Could I get a look at it?

By dinghy, there she is!

[LAUGHING]

I've been looking all over for that thingy!

Oh, I didn't know it was yours.

Well, Pooh Bear, you're in luck!

That's just the hole we need to get you out of there!

Stick it on the side of that bubble!

It works!

Oh, bother.

...

Yep, yep, yep.

Best one I ever dug.

[CHUCKLES]

...

Yes, Piglet, the garbanzo bean is

a member of the lima bean family,

but not the immediate family.

And now, who can tell us which is the most intelligent

of all beans?

Piglet! Tigger!

Rabbit!

Gopher found his missing hole!

Yep!

[CHUCKLES]

Good as new!

Pooh, the bubble's gone!

Yes, Piglet.

Well, as I was saying, Gopher found his hole in my pocket--

Buddy bear, you're you!

Of course, Tigger.

I always was me.

I was just me inside a bubble.

But we treated you differently.

Yeah, and we kind of forgot about you.

Well, that's all right.

I'm back now.

Hey!

[COUGHS]

What about me?

Doesn't anyone want to see this baby in action?

Please, Gopher, no more hole silliness.

Silliness, hm?

I was just about to discuss the social life of the lima--

[SCREAMS]

[THUD]

[LAUGHS]

Now what do you think, hm?

I have a whole new outlook on holes.

[POPPING SOUND]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

...

Gangway!

[LAUGHS]

I'm going to bust every ski jumping record there is.

I'm going to ski where no Tigger has skied before.

But, Tigger, how can you ski--

When there's no snow?

No snow?

[LAUGHS]

Why, of course, there's--

no snow?

Hey, what gives here?

We ought to be swimming in it!

We ought to be smothering in it!

Why, today's the first day of winter, isn't it?

I don't know, Tigger.

My watch stopped.

[WIND WHIRRING]

...

There, as clean as a whistle.

[WHISTLING]

[BANGING]

Hey, buddy boy!

Yoo-hoo!

Anybody home?

[WIND WHIRRING]

...

[GRUNTS]

What are you doing?

Well, we're trying to find out when winter is, long ears.

And you're the only one with a calendar, Rabbit.

Why-- oh, why yes, so I am.

Ahem, well, let's see.

As of first thing this morning, today is Groundhog Day.

Groundhog Day?

Groundhog Day?

Groundhog Day?

Oh, it's Groundhog Day!

Uh, what's a Groundhog Day?

[LAUGHS]

Well, everybody knows that, buddy bear.

It's, uh, uh-- it, uh--

Well, it's the day a groundhog comes out of his hole!

Precisively!

And if he sees his shadow, that means there will

be six more weeks of winter.

But if he doesn't, spring starts tomorrow!

Exaccc-- Spring?

But what happened to winter?

It's gone!

Over!

We missed it!

Christmas too?

According to the calendar, Christmas too.

But the only way to be completely sure winter

is over is to find a groundhog and check with him.

Hm?

Groundhog?

Who are you calling a groundhog?

I'm a gopher, not a groundhog!

What are you trying to do, insult my an-cestors?

Hm!

[SCREAMING]

...

[BANGING NOISE]

Now, where would we find a groundhog

to see if spring's here?

Oh, d-dear.

[TENSE MUSIC]

...

It's a very small and timid animal.

I have enough trouble being just a piglet.

Perhaps someone else could--

Nonsense.

You're a perfect groundhog.

Do you see your shadow, Piglet?

Oh, please.

Please see your shadow!

I want to go skiing!

Actually, I don't see a thing.

No shadow?

Winter's over!

It's gone!

Oh, hooray!

You're a hero, ground Piglet, for telling us spring is here.

Hooray for Piglet!

Hooray for Piglet!

Come on, everyone.

We have to get ready for spring.

There's a lot to do.

Like what, Rabbit?

Oh, a great many things, such as airing out

our houses and spring cleaning.

[BANGING]

And most important of all, my garden.

The secret to great gardening, Piglet,

is knowing when to plant.

And thanks to you, I know that when is now.

All my friends are certainly very happy with me,

and I suppose they should be.

After all, I did tell them winter was over.

...

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

...

Hm, unusual weather we're having this spring.

[WIND BLOWING]

...

Oh, bother.

Aargh.

This spring.

Groundhog, still that piglet!

...

Piglet, you said you didn't see your shadow!

You told us winter was over!

Oh, dear.

I did, didn't I?

We prepared for spring!

There should be fields full of flowers, not six feet of snow.

We're ruined!

Ruined!

And it's all your fault!

...

I'm sorry you have to be out in weather like this.

[KISSING SOUND]

[SNEEZE]

Gesundheit.

[PENSIVE MUSIC]

[WIND BLOWING]

...

Oh, what's this?

Calendar pages?

Why, it's-- it's--

...

It's only November.

It's nowhere near Groundhog Day!

Hm, Piglet wasn't quite as wrong as I'd thought.

Piglet, oh, my.

I'd better apologize to him!

Piglet!

Piglet!

PIGLET (VOICEOVER): I've gone to find a real groundhog who can

tell me when spring really is.

He must be kidding.

PIGLET (VOICEOVER): PS, I'm--

I'm not kidding.

Piglet?

...

Piglet?

...

Piglet!

[MELANCHOLY MUSIC]

...

Groundhog.

Oh, groundhog.

Groundhog.

Calling all groundhogs.

I don't remember saying that.

Perhaps they just can't hear me under all this snow.

Groundhog!

...

Oh, d, d, d--

dear.

...

I think the groundhogs must have flown south for the winter.

Perhaps I should try to find one later, like sometime

next spring.

...

Oh, where could he be?

...

There you are, Piglet!

You shouldn't have come out here all alone.

Piglet?

...

Oh, no!

You're frozen solid!

I have to get you home quickly and warmed up!

He's so cold, he can't even speak.

Here's some hot chocolate.

...

He's sweating up a storm.

He's-- he's sweating away to nothin'!

[GASPS]

He's melting!

Get a bucket!

We have to save him!

Tigger, you're stepping in Piglet!

...

Oh, poor Piglet!

Oh!

He's going to faint!

Tigger!

Piglet!

Piglet!

How do you feel?

Well, I feel very badly for saying it was

spring in the middle of winter.

What?

That?

Oh, don't worry about that.

It was all my fault!

But-- but I was the groundhog.

But my calendar-- snow, spring, winter, then pages of--

I never should have asked you to be

a groundhog in the first place!

Do you understand?

I think.

Can you ever forgive me?

Of course, Rabbit.

Did you hear that, Piglet?

Piglet forgives me!

Piglet?

Piglet!

You're unmelted.

Piglet, you're all right!

Yes, uh, thank you.

Oh, no!

If that's piglet, then who is this?

Kind of resembles Eeyore around the eyes.

[CHUCKLES]

That was just a pile of snow.

Oh.

[GIGGLES]

I see.

Um, excuse me, Rabbit, but there is

something I've been wondering.

If it isn't spring and it isn't winter,

and it isn't Groundhog Day, what day is today?

It's November 13th, Piglet.

November 13th?

[GASPS]

November 13th?

Do you realize what this means?

It's Porcupine Day!

And if a porcupine sees his Uncle Ralph or a tea kettle

on Porcupine Day, then we'll have to eat nothing

but stewed veggie bibbles for three months.

Three months!

[CHUCKLES]

We-- we gotta find us a porcupine.
