[wind howling]

Looks like we got a southwestern blowing through.

Last time we had a wind this hard,

it took the bark right off the trees.

Well! By dinghy!

That crazy wind's gone and blown my front door off.

Ha ha ha!

I can't lose that hole.

The best I ever dug.

Hey!

Gotcha!

Yaah!

[thump]

Follow that hole!

Is it time? Is it time?

I think the wind has gone home now, Tigger.

Ha ha ha! There she blows!

[hooting]

[giggling]

Attention, everyone. Ahem.

I have an announcement.

[gulp, coughing]

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

Uh, 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 Bean,"

which I'm sure you'll all want to hear.

Oh!

Say, 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!

This nothing is something, and--

Ah! What are you trying to do, confuse me?

Huh. Imagine worrying about something as silly as a hole.

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.

Hey. Long-lasting bubbles.

That sounds like an invention that needs inventing.

Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo!

Hmm. Must have used too many jalapeños.

Better add a little more glue

and a lot more honey.

And a little more of this and a dash of that

and a few of these and one of those.

A pinch of them and-- [laughing]

Ah. That ought to do it.

It-- it's incredibibble.

It's-- It's stupenderous!

It's-- It--

It's even got a pooh in it.

I've got to test the bustability of this bubble.

Success! The first unbustable bubble!

Hoo hoo hoo hoo!

Absopolilutely

can't be pooped-- I mean popped.

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

how will Pooh get out?

Ha ha ha! Why, he'll just--

hee hee-- he'll--

Say, how are you gonna get out of there?

The same way I got in.

Right. Uh...

how was that?

I was hoping you'd know.

Whoa!

Oh, d-d-dear!

Oh, where's that consarn hole?

Huh?

Yaah!

Gopher, Pooh's stuck in a bubble.

Hmm. So he is.

Can't worry about that now.

Got to find that hole. Here, hole. Here, boy.

[whistling, calling]

Don't worry, buddy bear. I'll unbubble you

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

If you want to...

break something,

y-you've got to drop it.

Always works for me. [hooting]

Tally ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!

Do you think it'll work?

- [bounce] - Of course it'll work,

- or my name isn't-- - Tigger!

Ha ha ha!

- Exactically. - [bounce]

- Huh? - I hate to complain,

- but I'm getting a bit-- - [bounce]

...dizzy.

Tigger: A little more to your right.

Uh, your other right.

This will get that bubble unbubbled.

I certainly hope so.

Fire!

Here, hole! Here-- Oh!

Look at the bright side, Pooh boy.

If it rains, uh, uh,

you'll never need an umbreller. [hooting]

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

There, there, Pooh. You'll stay with me

until we can break the bubble.

[Piglet humming]

Pooh: Can I help you with the cleaning, Piglet?

Certainly, Pooh.

- [crash] - Oh, bother.

- [clatter] - Oh, d-d-dear.

[crashing]

Yipe!

I'm trying to go this way,

but the bubble wants to go that way.

Um...

Uh, Pooh, uh, perhaps Tigger needs some help at his house?

Take a-- [grunt]--

load off your bubble, buddy bear.

But, Tigger, I don't want to be any...

- trouble. - Oh, ha ha ha!

No trouble at all.

Comfy?

Well...

Uh, 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.

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 it 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.

Say, that hole showed up yet?

Hmm.

Ah. I know.

I'll comb the forest

till I find that thing.

But, Rabbit, how will Pooh come to your lecture

on-- heh heh-- "Our Friend the Lima Bean"?

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

not with the way he bangs into everything.

- [snoring] - He's just too much trouble.

[thunder rumbling]

Oh, bother.

[thunder]

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

Rabbit: "Our Friend the Lima Bean."

When many lima beans get together

and go for a swim,

this we call bean soup.

Ehh. I'm never gonna find that hole.

Hello, Gopher.

Huh? Uh, 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.

Uh, guess you and me are both kind of unwelcome these days.

By crackety, 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.

Hmm? Say, you got a hole in your pocket?

Ahem.

Uh, could I get a look at it?

[rip]

By dinghy! There she is!

[laughing]

Ah, 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.

Well, there's the best one I ever dug.

Heh heh heh heh.

Yes, Piglet, the garbanzo bean

is a member of the lima bean family,

but not the immediate family.

Now, who can tell us

which is the most intelligent of all beans?

Piglet! Tigger! Rabbit!

Gopher found his missing hole.

Yep. [laughing]

Good as new.

Pooh, the bubble's gone.

Yes, Piglet. Or 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. We kinda forgot about you.

Well, that's all right.

I'm back now.

Hey! Ahem.

What about me?

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

Please, Gopher, no more hole silliness.

Silliness, hmm?

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

Aah!

- [thud] - ...bean.

Ha! Now what do you think?

Hmm?

Ah, I have a whole new outlook on...

holes.

[pop]

Gangway! Hoo hoo hoo hoo!

Ha ha ha ha!

I'm gonna bust every ski jumping record there is.

I'm gonna ski

where no tigger's skied before.

But, uh, Tigger, Tigger, how can you ski--

When there's no snow?

No snow! Ha ha ha ha!

Why, of course there's--

No snow?

Hey, what gives here?

We ought to be swimming in it.

We ought to be slathering in it.

Why, today's the first day of winter.

Isn't it?

I don't know, Tigger.

My watch stopped.

There. As clean as a whistle.

[whistle]

Hey, bunny boy! Yoo-hoo!

Anybody home?

[panting]

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, ahem, oh, I, uh, yes. So I am.

Ahem. Well, let's see.

As of first thing this morning,

today is Groundhog Day.

[gasp] Groundhog Day?

Groundhog Day?

Groundhog Day?

Oh, it's Groundhog Day.

Uh, what's a groundhog day?

Ha ha ha ha!

Why, everybody knows that, buddy bear.

It's a-- a-- 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.

Exac-- Spring?

Uh, 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.

Hmm? Groundhog?

Who are you calling a groundhog?

I'm a gopher, not a groundhog.

[grumbling]

What are you trying to do, insult my ancestors?

Hmph.

Yaah!

Now where would we find a groundhog

to see if spring's here?

Oh! D-D-Dear.

As 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?

Hoo hoo! Winter's over!

It's gone!

Oh, hooray!

You're a hero, Groundpiglet,

for telling us spring is here.

- Tigger: Yippee! - Hooray for Piglet!

Hooray for Piglet! Hoo hoo hoo hoo!

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, uh, airing out our houses...

and spring cleaning.

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-- I did tell them winter was over.

Hmm. Unusual weather we're having this spring.

Oh, bother.

[muttering]

Spring?

[muttering]

Groundhog?

Ooh, 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 6 feet of snow.

Ruined! Ruined!

And it's all your fault.

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

Ah-choo!

Gesundheit.

Oh, uh, what's this?

Calendar pages?

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

It's only November.

It's nowhere near Groundhog Day.

Hmm. Piglet wasn't quite as wrong as I'd thought.

Piglet? Oh, my.

I'd better apologize to him.

Piglet. Piglet--

Piglet:I've gone

to find a real groundhog

who can tell me when spring really is.

He must be kidding.

P.S. I'm-- I'm n-not kidding.

[footsteps]

Piglet?

Piglet?

Piglet!

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-dear.

I think the groundhogs

must have flown south for the winter.

Perhaps I should try to find one later,

like some time next spring.

Oh, where could he be?

There you are, Piglet.

You shouldn't have come out here all alone.

Piglet?

[gasp] Oh, no!

You're-- [gasp]-- 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 chocolatey.

He's sweating up a storm. He's--

He's sweating away to nothing!

- [gasp] - He's melting!

He-- Get a bucket! We have to save him!

Tigger, you're stepping in Piglet!

Oh, poor Piglet.

Ohh.

He's gonna 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.

The pages. Ohh!

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! [hooting]

Piglet! You're all right!

Yes. Uh, thank you.

Oh, no!

If that's Piglet,

then who is this?

Kinda resembles Eeyore, uh, around the eyes.

Heh heh. That was just a pile of snow.

Oh. [giggling] I see.

Uh, 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?

[gasp] November 13th?

[gasp] Do you realize what this means?

It's Porkypine Day!

And if a porkypine sees his uncle Ralph

or a teakettle on Porkypine Day--

[chuckle]-- then you'll have to eat nothing

but stewed vegebibbles for three months.

Three months!

Heh heh. We-- We got to find us a porkypine.
