Winnie the Pooh and his Hundred Acre crew are some of the most dear and cherished character to come from Disney . While the words " unearthly , " " unknown , " or " unusual " do n’t often go together when distinguish this franchise , you ’d be surprised by how many of Pooh ’s adventuresventure towards the wild side .
The thaumaturgy of Disney can be a double - adjoin brand ; it can produce colorful world of whimsy and wonder , but it can also engender some serious incubus fuel . Even the likes of Pooh and company are not immune to some singular and unusual risky venture . Do n’t believe us ? Have a look at our inclination to see how flakey the Hundred Acre Wood can get .
Heffalumps and Woozles
To be fair , it was the ' 70s , and psychedelic imagery was the thing to do in your big enliven features — Disney was not exempt from the rule . After Tigger warns the silly old bear about the dangers of honey - thirsty Heffalumps and Woozles , the Disney artists treat us to a very tricky , pinkish elephants - inspire incubus sequence .
" They ’re far , they ’re dear , they ’re gone , they ’re here , they ’re quick and satiny and insincere . " They ’re the Heffalumps and Woozles , and they ’re easy one of the most memorable elements inWinnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day . Not exactly something A.A. Milne would do , but we ’re not complain .
Rabbit’s Forest Freakout
One of the effective things animation can do is extract worked up concepts like happiness , honey , or in Rabbit ’s cause , veneration and anxiety . When trying to drop off Tigger in a benighted and brumous forest , Rabbit gets lost and ca n’t find his way back out . Soon enough , his resourcefulness begin to run away with him .
What fall out next is a abbreviated but trippy sequence that drive coney more than a little jumpy . His nerves are so fried , a pool of croaking batrachian , a munching cat , and other night sound send off him into full - on hysterics . It ’s a scant picture , but emphatically still unusual .
Adventure is a Wonderful Thing
Pooh ’s Grand Adventure : The Search for Christopher Robinis in spades one of our all - meter favorite Pooh moving picture , but it ’s also the absolute darkest , sending the friends on a intimidating adventure into " The Great Unknown . " No sequence represents this motion picture ’s mode and tone more than Owl ’s song " Adventure is a Wonderful Thing . "
This tumid melodious figure see the Friend in a fantasy succession on Owl ’s hand - drawn map , facing off against various environment . They ’re also threaten by monster , spun in all four directions , and nearly mummified . The use of fearsome visuals in this song is just a discernment of the thing to come for this unusual dangerous undertaking of Winnie the Pooh .
Round My Family Tree
Snappy Sherman Brothers Sung dynasty away , Tigger ’s bighearted , bombastic melodious number inThe Tigger Movieis utterly stuffed with some strange and stripey images that we never thought we ’d see in the Hundred Acre Wood . Ever see a Tigger - fied version of the Country Bear Jamboree , the Brady Bunch , or Marilyn Monroe ? You have now .
We ’ve bugger off ta give the Disney artist a little extra credit here — it ’s pretty imaginative to see how many different scenario they can put Tiggers in . The circus trapeze act , football plot , and Wild West setting we can all think pretty easily , but a Jerry Springer episode and a giving Vegas show number ? Yeah , this is n’t exactly your typical Tigger composition .
I Wanna Scare Myself
Yet another strange and unusual Tigger number has to be " I Wanna Scare Myself " fromBoo to You Too , Winnie the Pooh . When one consider of a Hundred Acre Wood Halloween , image of Pooh and party in homemade costumes with cutesy Jack - o - lantern are normally what comes to psyche , not Tigger surrounded by all manner of freaky behemoth .
Heffalumps , Woozles , ghosts , and even the Headless Horseman make an appearance in this fright - tastic fantasy Tigger has on Halloween night . We have it off he ’s always been the geek of Pooh ’s posse , but now we know he ’s extra majestic of it . What ’s Halloween without at least one scare ?
Tribe of Pygmy Piglets
The New Adventures of Winnie the Poohwas a classic of ' 90s era serial that put Pooh and his friends in strange and sometimes perilous scenario , many of which make this list . How about we start with the intact civilisation of pygmy Piglets located in a jungle just a musical number away from the Hundred Acre Wood ?
We ’re not talking about a dense patch of woods here ; we ’re talking a full - grown jungle complete with wildlife and a kin of Piglets who tend the Land of Milk and Honey . We ’ve get so many questions about this , it flabbergast our mind . We want answer , Disney !
Wooster the Giant Woozle
Okay , the kindred of Pygmy Piglets was acceptable after a certain point , but how in the name of the Hundred Acre Wood do you explicate this guy ? In the serial , Stan and Heff are the show ’s on - and - off antagonist , and fellow member of the woods ' Heffalump and Woozle community of interests . When one of their beloved - snatching schemes fall through , they enlist the service of an absolutely ginormous Woozle named Wooster .
The swell is a titan among Woozles , toppling over tree and obstacles in his wake . How does something this huge and monstrous inhabit the same macrocosm as Winnie the Pooh ? Thankfully , Pooh ’s able-bodied to win him over with the power of friendly relationship . We ’d hate to have that guy cable as an enemy .
Crud
You could make the tilt that the following is a product of Christopher Robin ’s overactive mental imagery , but we ’d be skeptical to guess that the same imagination that make Pooh and his friends created the nightmare fuel that is Crud . Pooh ’s normal adventures see him and his supporter frolicking in the woods , not doing battle against malevolent lusus naturae .
Crud is the reflexion of all the dirt and filth that live on under Christopher Robin ’s layer , who enslaves recede miniature to build a mess - make anti vacuity cleansing agent to take over the world . Does this go anything like a Pooh - focused adventure ? Not in our book .
Everything is Honey
Not nearly as drastic as Crud , but one we had to put on our list . How manyWinnie the Poohoutings sport Pooh having a beloved - thirstiness - induced delusion thoroughgoing with a fully choreographed musical number ? Pooh has always had a very vivid resource , but when it bleeds over onto the pages of the book … we take notice .
Not only does Pooh imagine a beloved - made cosmos for him to pig out on , but a set of honey doppelgangers to trip the light fantastic toe with , one of which he use up . It ’s all dearest and bees until the fantasy ends with Pooh deplete a taste of clay . Definitely a pink elephant - level picture in our Word .
Their Live-Action Counterparts
TheChristopherRobinfilm is a strange but enjoyable springy - action Disney escapade . It ’s essentially a " live - action - remaking " of theWinnie the Poohflicks , showing an adult Christopher Robin reuniting with his childhood friends . This is all well and honorable , but Disney takes a big misstep by seduce the animal characters too realistic .
We would ’ve been fine with a variant of the original stuffed animate being or a design inspired by the animated versions . unluckily , Disney tried to do both . The resultant role is a hodgepodge of weird . Pooh has dead eyes that never winkle , Tigger appear like a windsock puppet rendering of the animated cartoon , and it ’s weird to hear the familiar voices come out of these CGI wight .
