Oh, this bronzed shoe will look nice

to my very small picture of me

as a very, very small animal.

Tigger: Why, Pigalet,

I never knew you had a-- a--

a thingaroo like this.

Oh, I found it

and decided to display my favorite daffodil.

Why, Piglet, where did you get this?

Well, you see--

Hey, Piglet,

what's that supposed to be?

Oh, it's just something--

Yeah. It's really something, all right.

Heh heh.

But, uh, what, exactically?

Why, it's obviously a-- a--

Kind of reminds me of...

Oh, I say, a running trophy.

I'd recognize one anywhere.

Aw, of course it is.

Pigalet, why didn't you ever let on

you were so fleet of footsies?

Oh, no-- [chuckle]. It's really nothing at all.

He wins a running trophy and calls it nothing.

What modesty.

But that's our Piglet.

Why, Piglet, I never knew.

Or perhaps I did and forgot.

Okay, let's see what you got, Pigalet.

But, Tigger-- But, uh-- B-But--

Show us how fast you can run to that tree and back.

1 for the honey, 2 for the road,

3 to get ready, and off you go!

[gasp] Why, that was so fast, I didn't even see you go.

It's a new world's record.

Astonishing.

That was wonderful, Piglet.

I always knew Piglet was very sudden.

I've seen him run away from things

that aren't even things to run away from.

Yeah, well, that must be how he keeps in training.

You know, traditionally, races are held once a year

to give others an opportunity

to acquire such a magnificent award.

Yeah. Why, I'd give away old bunny boy here

for a trophy like that.

Here, Tigger. It's yours.

Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo! I won!

Nonsense. This beautiful trophy must be won by winning it.

Uh, Rabbit, Gopher, uh, uh, I just wanted to say

that I certainly don't need to keep this, uh, trophy

all to myself.

Well, that's the stuff, sonny.

What sportsmanship.

I got to get into training.

Uh, me, too.

Same here.

You know, Piglet,

I don't believe I'll race this race

because this trophy doesn't look

as though it would hold much honey.

But I will be very pleased to see you win it again.

[giggling]

You will?

Oh, d-d-dear.

How could I have let whatever just happened happen?

1 and 2 and no time to chat.

- And 1 and-- - Rabbit, about this race--

Now, if you'll excuse me-- [groan]--

I have some intensive training to undo.

I can't run very well at all.

Huh. Trying to fool us

into thinking you're slow, hmm?

Well, I'm going to be ready.

Whoa!

Oh, dear. I can't fly very well, either.

You want the trophy, too, Eeyore?

It's not the trophy I'm interested in, little Piglet.

It's the flower.

Uh, Tigger,

there's something I have to tell you

about my running.

Aw, don't worry, Pigalet.

I know I can't expect to beat

an exceptionabibble runner like you.

[zooming back and forth]

But it's going to be fun trying.

Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo!

Everybody, this has gone far enough.

I've never won any trophies,

so there's no need to have a race.

Yes. That's what I must say.

I can't let this idea go any farther.

That's all there is to it.

Owl: Runners must follow the marked route.

That reminds me of the time my great-uncle Bigelow--

And may the best tigger win.

What? Oh. I beg your pardon.

Uh, runners, on your mark.

Get set.

Uh, just a moment. Where's Piglet?

[gasp] Maybe he's already finished.

Ahem. Everybody, I know what you all expect to happen here today,

but, um, there's something I must say.

And you may say it, Piglet,

just as soon as I say go.

Hooray!

[cough cough]

Now don't give us a head start, Piglet.

We want to win this race fair and square.

Uh, c-come back!

Hooray.

In first place is Tigger by a tail.

Now Rabbit by a hare.

Gopher by a-- by a--

by a tooth.

And the current champion is in the last place

one would expect to find him,

which is last place.

Shortest distance between two points is a straight tunnel.

If I don't finish first,

everybody will be so disappointed.

Oh, my. Aah!

I say, Rabbit seems to have cut a bit of distance

off the course,

taking over first place.

Seems I've lost my tail, little Piglet.

Wouldn't want to win the race without all of me there.

Uh, Eeyore, about this trophy--

It sure is nice of you, Piglet.

I haven't had so much fun since--

Hawmp!

Owl: It's Tigger in the lead, but--

Hoo hoo hoo hoo! I'm gonna win!

I'd say he's chosen to make a pit stop.

Tigger, I really must tell you--

I can't stop now, little Piglet.

I got to catch up with you.

Owl: Oh, my.

If seems frontrunner Gopher has had a blowout.

Gopher, I just want you to know--

Ah, don't worry about me, sonny.

You go ahead. I've got a spare.

Now it's Tigger in first place.

Or is that Rabbit?

Why, I believe it may be Eeyore.

And in last place, Piglet.

Now it's-- Well, someone must be leading.

I'm sure you're right, Owl,

but where are they?

My word. They're approaching the swamp.

This could become a rather sticky situation.

It could?

Yes, indeed.

I definitely have to say they're stuck.

I remember when my great-aunt Cordelia

fell asleep in a tar barrel.

Owl!

Yes?

We have only one thing to say.

Yes?

Help!

Oh, dear.

Whoever among you I helped first

would gain an unfair advantage.

The principles of fair play demand that I,

as an official of this race,

must at all costs maintain impartiality.

[snoring]

Hooray!

No, Pooh. Everyone's in terrible trouble.

They're stuck in the swamp.

What shall I do?

Well, Piglet,

if they can't finish the race,

take the finish of the race to them.

Oh, of course. That's a wonderful idea, Pooh.

Oh, my. We've lost so much time.

I'm gonna have to run twice as fast

just to catch up with myself.

Thanks, Piglet. See you at the finish line.

But I-- But-- Oh, it's too late.

Everyone is going to find out

that I'm not at all what they expect me to be.

Oh, it's difficult when large expectations

become very large unexpectations.

Perhaps it would be best

to do something unexpected for a change.

I won. I...won.

If nobody minds my saying so,

seems to me that I got here first.

Say, ahem, what are you talking about? I won.

You won? Who's the winner, Owl?

It was, I must say,

the closest finish I've seen

since the time my uncle Albert

raced from Albania to Zanzibar.

Pooh, would you kindly tell them who won the race?

Well, actually, I'm afraid you're all too late.

I don't think anyone would expect me to move away.

[grunt]

Pooh: What are you doing, Piglet?

I'm leaving the Hundred Acre Wood,

moving far, far away

to some place where the unexceptional

won't be expected to excel beyond expectations.

Uh, could you say that again

a little looser?

Oh, I let you all down.

I never won a race in my life.

Why, Piglet, of course you've won a race.

Sure. You won this one.

Wasn't that the finishing line you saved us with?

Oh, why, yes.

I guess it was.

Ooh, and so this trophy is awarded to you, Piglet.

Me?

Why, certainly.

You won, just like we expected you to.

Now only did you win, but, heh heh,

you helped everyone else come in second.

Hooray for Piglet,

for doing exactly what we expected him to do

in a very "I'm your best friend Piglet" sort of way.

- Definitely. - Posilutely.

Well, thank you.

This will look very nice indeed on my shelf

next to the trophy I won for weightlifting.

[chuckle] Just kidding.

Gopher: Jump, Piglet!

[bell clanging]

Help! Oh, help!

More scared, Piglet!

I'm afraid I'm too afraid to be more afraid.

Yeah, I don't blame you, Piglet.

I'm terrifying, aren't I?

Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo!

Tiggers always play the bad guys best.

Where's the ladder?

How can we save Piglet without my portable ladder?

This ladder is too short.

That's what makes it so portable.

Too high! Aah! It's too high!

Whoops. Hmm, now where's that reverse?

I'll have you down before you can say--

Aah!

Better try the net.

Jump, Piglet!

Oh, I don't think I can.

But it's easy, Piglet.

Just do this.

Help!

Hmm. Fast learner.

Rabbit, what kind of saving was that?

Well, I did my part just as I was supposed to.

Looks like you're short one life saver.

Good morning, everyone.

Eh, you're late.

Where have you been?

I believe I've been right here,

although I did spend some time over there, too.

You missed the fire drill. Messed up the whole thing.

You're even running too late to be late, Pooh boy.

You are without a doubt the slowest bear there is.

Why, thank you, Rabbit.

You can't go around being late all the time.

Late for this, late for that.

Just won't do, Pooh.

Throws everything out of whack.

Destroys the balance of things.

Is there anything I can do to put things back in whack?

Well, you could start by being on time for once.

It's best, Pooh, if you don't wait until the last minute.

Yes, Piglet. But I never know which is the last minute.

There always seem to be more minutes left over.

If you move any slower, buddy bear,

you're going to be going backwards.

Ah! By dinghy, that's it!

What's it?

A way to get everything back on track.

We'll speed the bear up.

We'll get him moving like the wind itself.

Once you take the specifications

of that fluff-filled head

and full stomach into consideration--

And just when are you going to speed him up?

Keep your ears on.

It's going to take some time to get Pooh on time.

And you're certainly taking enough time

with all this nonsense.

I'll get Pooh moving.

Oh, good.

Perhaps we'll have time left over

for something sweet.

Gopher: Well, good luck.

I'll be waiting when you give up.

[wind howling]

Now, this, Pooh Bear, is a schedule,

something I am never without.

If you follow it faithfully,

you'll be moving faster than--

well, whatever you choose to move faster than.

Oh, my.

I've never seen anyone waste so much time so quickly.

[laughing]

You're getting him moving faster, all right--

slowly.

The secret to not being late, Pooh,

is taking short cuts.

And to do that, you find the straight line

which is the shortest distance between two points.

Between those points is where I'll find enough time?

Exactly, Pooh.

Ouch!

Is this one of the points

I'm looking for, Piglet?

Heh heh. No, Pooh. That's a pine cone.

Oh, dear. I don't think this is going to work.

I figured out your problem, Pooh boy.

You got no stripes.

But, Tigger, how will stripes make me faster?

They'll make you faster

because they're racing stripes.

Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo!

Hmm.

I'm gonna have to get a new brush.

About ready to call it quits, are you?

Get yourselves ready

for the new, improved, faster Pooh Bear.

Excuse me, Gopher,

but what exactly will I have to do?

Not a single thing, Pooh Bear.

My fully automatic solar-powered woodgrain speeder upper

is gonna do it for you.

All you got to do is, uh, go for it.

Oh, bother!

You did it! He's flying

like no Poor bear has flied before!

I never thought I'd see the day he moved like that.

Oh, dear.

The only thing I don't understand

about this not being slow business

is when shall I ever find time for lunch?

Rabbit, do you think Pooh's being so very fast

is really such a very good thing?

Of course it isn't good. It's wonderful.

We've been trying to speed that bear up forever.

On the other hand...

The new Pooh is a menace to everyone.

Don't be ridicorous.

The only good pooh is a fast pooh.

But I wish he wouldn't do that.

What's everybody complaining about?

Pooh's perfect.

He's the fastest bear on two--

Missed us that time, buddy bear!

Back to the drawing board, Gopher.

Your perfect bear isn't.

You ain't just whistling "Dixie," sonny.

This is positively, absolutely guaranteed

to slow him down.

Let's see how that speed demon handles Plan 2.

But how will this slow Pooh down?

Uh, bear crosses bridge,

bridge falls,

bear drops into water.

As simple as that.

By dinghy, the specifications clearly state

that the bridge should have--

Aah!

Now he's gonna get Plan 3.

Soon as he hits this, he'll--

Ah, dagnabbit!

There's just no slowing that bear down.

If we don't slow him down, we'll have to..

By dinghy, I got it!

Beautiful day, as days go.

Birds in the trees,

flowers here and there,

not to mention one of those.

Whoops!

I'm sorry, Eeyore.

I was trying not to be late.

Don't see why you're in such a hurry.

Sooner you get to a place,

the sooner somebody asks you to leave.

Perhaps I should ask the others

where it is I should be that I'm not.

Mind if I tag along

to find out what you're talking about?

What a good idea, Eeyore.

And that way, we can find out together.

Only one thing to do,

and that's restore the balance.

Restore the what?

The balance. The natural order of things.

And just how do you propose we do that?

Easy. We can't slow Pooh down,

so we speed up.

What a perspiring idea.

Just what I'd expect from a gopher.

Hmm. I suppose it might just work.

From this second on, we do everything double time.

Better yet, make that triple time.

And we'll do it together

to make sure it gets done right.

Must get the harvesting done.

Have to plan for winter.

Time to plant new crops.

I must finish my spring cleaning.

There. All done.

Now for next year's.

Mustn't wait till the last minute.

Gopher: Got to get new tunnels dug.

[chuckle] No time to dawdle.

[panting] Got to get on Pooh Standard Time.

Aah!

Hoo hoo hoo hoo!

I'm gonna have to bounce my tail off

to be as fast as buddy bear.

Um, Tigger.

I know I'm late for something

because-- [giggle]-- I always am.

If I don't remember what it is soon,

I shall very likely be late for being late.

Don't know how much longer I can...keep up this pace.

Uh, Rabbit--

I'm afraid very small animals such as myself

get tired rather quickly.

Excuse me, Piglet.

I can't tunnel another... inch at this speed.

I don't think I can bounce another bounce.

I think I have missed something very, very important.

Hello, everyone. I'm sorry for being late.

Why, Pooh, you are. You're late.

It worked. [laughing]

We don't have to hurry anymore.

But aren't you all angry with me?

No. Because not being on time

is right on time for a pooh bear.

[gasp] Does that mean I'm on time

for whatever it is I'm not on time for?

Precisely.

You can take your time for all the time you want.

You're not late, Pooh. You're just Pooh.

Yes. Now I see.

If being late means being me,

then that's what I shall be,

so long as it doesn't mean being late for breakfast.
