Pooh: My. It certainly is impressive.

And very well wrapped, don't you think?

At least it's not moving.

That's a very good sign.

Uh, this is your package, Gopher?

You bet your stalactites, you nincompoop.

Ordered it from Holes-R-Us.

Gotta unwrap 'em just so.

[gasps] Lucille.

♪♪

Hello, Gopher.

How are you and Lucille?

Dandy. Why, just look at how

the sunlight shines off her handle.

Oh, and we got big plans. Big plans.

[chuckles] Oh, boy. It'll be stupendous.

Uh, Gopher, I don't really know about these things,

but shouldn't you actually do something with Lucille?

Like, maybe dig?

By gum, Piglet, you're 600 percent right.

I got completely carried away.

[engine sputters]

Ooh!

Hi-ho, Lucille!

[humming]

[rumbling]

What in the world?

Uh-oh.

[screaming]

So, Rabbit, how do you like your new carrot cellar?

B-b-but I didn't ask for a carrot cellar.

It was Lucille's idea.

Boy, do I love this shovel.

[sputtering]

[hammering]

A-ha! Just as I suspected.

One more smackerel.

[rumbling]

There ya are, Pooh Bear.

Just in time to see me and Lucille

build ya an Olympic size swimmin' hole.

Well, actually, Gopher,

I don't feel much like swimming right at this moment.

Eh, that's okay. We'll build ya one anyway.

[hammering]

Ah, Lucille, we've done it again.

Course, you have to fill it first.

But those are just details. Whaddaya think, Pooh?

Pooh?

Must have got impatient and wandered off.

Gopher.

Hiya, Piglet.

Just as soon as I'm done renovating Tigger's house,

I'll come help you out.

That's nice.

Uh, have you asked Tigger if it's all right?

Course it's all right. He'll love it!

Well, as long as everybody's happy.

Just look what Gopher and that-that shovel have done.

But Rabbit, Gopher's just excited.

He's not really hurting anybody.

He's just digging.

Oh, no. Don't tell me it was--

That underhanded, underground,

under everything menace.

I knew it!

What's he done now?

I can't talk about it, bunny boy.

Too "humiloratin'".

Now, wait. I think we're being a little hard on Gopher.

He's just trying to help.

If we just talk to him--

Rabbit: No!

His reign of digging must be put to an end

before he puts an end to us.

We're right behind ya, captain fuzz face.

Oh, dear.

Gopher's just doing what he's supposed to do with a shovel.

It's not that bad, really.

And Lucille's such a nice shovel.

Can't understand why everyone doesn't understand.

Gopher's just trying to be helpful.

[rumbling]

Oh, dear.

Maybe this has gone a little too far.

[creaking]

[snoring]

Lucille.

[snoring]

Lucille!

[snoring]

Lucille.

I do wish Lucille weren't so very up.

[alarm blaring]

Oh, d-d-d-dear.

Oh, no!

[muttering] Wha--!

Someone stole Lucille!

[panting]

Oh, Gopher doesn't sound very happy.

What am I going to do with you?

I know. I'll bury you.

Then I'll talk to Gopher.

Maybe if I explain, he won't hurt me so hard.

[sputtering]

[hammering]

Help!

Somebody help!

Oh, deary dear.

Is this a slumber party?

No. Someone made off with Lucille.

We're gonna find the nefarious wrongdoer now.

What's the bear up to?

Shh. I believe I've found a clue.

Tigger: Obviously, the tracks of

a yellow-bellied shovel stealer.

[gasping]

They seem to be heading for Piglet's house.

Piglet's gone.

Yeah, and so's his house.

So, whatever got Lucille got Piglet, too.

This must be the work of a yellow-bellied shovel and Piglet stealer.

Rawrrr.

Shh.

It may be down there.

Rabbit: You go first.

Tigger: Not me, bunny boy.

Rabbit? Tigger? Help!

Help!

It's the yellow-bellied shovel and Piglet stealer.

Ah, don't be such a fraidy bunny.

We're gonna go down and whack us

a shovel nappin' varmint.

Uh, down there?

Oh, I don't think we should do that.

It's-- it's so far.

It's not that far.

See?

[descending whistle]

- [thud] - Piglet: Ouch!

Uh, excuse me,

but wasn't that a Piglet sort of ouch,

rather than a yellow-bellied

shovel and Piglet stealer sort of ouch?

Hey, Piglet!

Seen any yellow-bellied muckety mucks around?

Piglet: You mean there's one of those down here?

Oh, dear. I thought it was just me and Lucille.

Lucille!

Hold on, baby, I'm comin' for ya!

[thudding]

Lucille.

Never thought I'd see ya again,

my little lotus blossom.

If that fiendish fiend harmed a splinter on your handle, I'll--

Oh, my.

Don't worry. Just give me one good shot

at the crook that kidnapped you and Lucille,

- and-- - But I took Lu--

Cille.

Oops.

You took Lucille?

But how could you do that, Piglet?

I didn't know any other way to get you to stop digging.

So what you're sayin' is that I may have been diggin'

where I didn't belong.

Maybe a little.

Mm. Don't worry. I'll make it right by everyone.

I know you will. But will you ever forgive me?

Of course.

Will you ever forgive me?

Of course.

I guess this means there's no yellow-bellied whatever.

No, I guess not.

What are we gonna tell the others?

Well, there is one thing.

It's been an awfully long time.

Perhaps we ought to go down and help.

No, no. Let's give them a little while longer.

Say, uh, a couple of days?

[clattering]

Gopher: Take that, you yellow-bellied

shovel snatching thief!

Piglet: And here's some more so you don't come back.

- [clattering] - [whistle blowing]

[clattering continues]

Pooh: Piglet.

Are you two "okedy-dokedy"?

Hot diggity, we are.

But it was a close shave.

You know somethin'.

After all this excitement,

I think Lucille needs a rest.

I'm gonna retire her.

All: Hooray!

But wait'll you see what I ordered next.

A steam shovel, uh, spoon,

a nuclear powered drill.

I think I'll name her Nancy.

[gasping]

Mm. Prefer the name Emily, huh?

♪♪

Piglet: Oh, dear.

I know I've forgotten something.

Since very small animals have very short memories,

I must have forgotten to remember something.

Water the rhododendron?

No.

Shine the woodwork?

No.

Wax the floor?

Noooo!

Oh, dear. Since I've remembered everything else,

there's only one thing I could have forgotten.

Why, it must be Pooh's birthday.

Oh, dear.

Hm. If these tomatoes were any smaller,

or any greener, they'd be olives.

Something is most definitely wrong.

Oof!

Perhaps Rabbit can help me plan Pooh's birthday.

Hiya, Piglet old pal.

What brings you to this neck of the woods?

Well, actually, I remembered something very, very important,

and I need your help.

What is it, Piglet?

Well, you see, today--

by which I mean this day--

is Pooh's birthday.

Oh, my, Piglet, you're right.

Today must be the day.

'Cause it wasn't yesterday.

And tomorrow's the day I rearrange my sock drawer.

This is extraordinary.

We have to organize a party immediately.

And a birthday cake.

Maybe a few balloons?

And a birthday cake.

And perhaps some games?

- And a-- - Yes, Tigger, a birthday cake.

[gasps] Oh, dear. But I don't have any candles.

Why, a cake without candles,

it's positively "un-birthdayicle".

In that case, we'll just go out and find some candles.

On his birthday, nothing is too good for our Pooh.

Rabbit: My, my, my, Pooh's birthday.

Good thing I have these emergency candles.

Better take a few more just to be on the safe side.

Fortunately, for a very small animal,

I have a very large fear of the dark.

Perhaps I'd better take a few more,

just to be on the safe side.

Can't have a party without candles.

Hoo-hoo.

Better take a few more just to--

Well, there's gotta be some reason.

There. One birthday cake for our birthday Pooh.

Hoo! I knew buddy bear was havin' a birthday,

I just didn't know he was havin' so many.

Why, with all these candles,

it appears that our friend Pooh

is much older than we thought.

The last time I saw a cake with this many candles on it

was at Christopher Robin's birthday.

Yeah. And Christopher Robin was the only one

smart enough to count 'em all.

Say, if buddy bear is that much older than we thought,

he must be that much smarter, too.

Now, now, Tigger, we mustn't jump to conclusions.

So, let's jump over to Pooh's,

and let him know what a genius he is. Hoo-hoo!

Won't Pooh be surprised when he finds out how old he is.

He'll be even more surprised

when he finds out how smart he is.

[knocking]

All: Surprise!

My, this is a surprise.

We brought you this cake

because I remembered that I think I forgot

that today is your birthday.

Oh, why, just look at all those candles, Pooh.

Yeah. And you're older than we thought.

And so much smarter, too?

Uh, since I didn't know I was so old,

I supposed I wouldn't know I was so smart, either.

[chuckles] I think.

Uh, perhaps we can discuss this over a smackerel of cake.

Pooh Bear, you've certainly kept your

extraordinary intelligence a secret.

Yes, Rabbit. Even I didn't know about it.

Perhaps you could help me with a little gardening question.

Should I plant my tomatoes

next to the parsnips or the artichokes?

Well, that would depend on how the tomatoes feel about it.

Don't you think, Rabbit?

Why, yes, Pooh, I suppose that it would.

Confidentially speaking, Pooh boy,

what's the best way for me to cover more ground

with my bouncing?

Well, I should think that to cover more ground,

when you bounce up,

[chuckles] just don't come back down.

[gasps] Whaddaya know?

Old buddy bear really is a genius.

Pooh, I don't want to bother someone as smart as you,

but how long should I take with my spring cleaning?

Why, it would take you a very long time

to clean all of spring, Piglet.

There's an awful lot of it outside today.

Clean all of the spring?

Oh, dear.

Pooh Bear, thank you.

I can hardly wait to tackle that garden now.

Hoo! And just wait'll you see the ground I cover.

I guess I'd better get started right away.

I'm so glad that you're glad.

And now for some cake.

[door closes]

Perhaps I should save the candles for later,

just to be on the safe side.

According to Pooh,

if I want to know where to plant my tomatoes,

it would depend on how they feel about it.

And the only way I can know how a tomato feels,

is to feel like a tomato.

[bouncing, thudding]

Ya-hoo-hoo!

[thudding]

Oh, Piglet, so good to see you.

And you, too, Owl.

You seem to be very busy, Piglet.

Thanks to Pooh,

I'm busy with my spring cleaning.

But doesn't spring cleaning

usually occur inside one's home?

Not according to Pooh.

He is now a bear with a very large brain, Owl.

Uh, you mean our Pooh?

[hammering]

Please excuse me, Owl,

but so much spring keeps falling off the trees.

Goodbye.

Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Look out below!

[thudding]

Hiya, Owl. Just thought I'd drop by.

Tigger, I've just heard the most extraordinary news.

Pooh is a very smart bear.

Yeah, and it was a good thing I was there to tell him about it.

Sorry, Owl. Can't hang around here all day, you know.

This stayin' up stuff is trickier than it looks.

Ya-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

[thudding]

[hooting]

So Pooh is a very smart bear?

Rabbit: The smartest, Owl.

My word. Who said that?

I did.

Talking tomatoes?

No, no, it's me, Rabbit.

I only look like a tomato.

And it's because of Pooh.

He's smarter than we realized.

- [rustling] - Did you hear that?

It sounded like a tomato.

Don't start talking until I get there.

Well, well, how delightful.

Now I can converse with Pooh on a higher plane.

However, one cannot assume intelligence too lightly.

Perhaps a few tests of

our new smarter friend Pooh are in order.

Pooh: Are you certain you wouldn't care for

just one more taste of my "what a surprise" birthday cake, Owl?

Why, thank you, Pooh Bear.

But first, if you don't mind,

I have a few questions I'd like to ask you.

If I have five pots of honey, and I take away three pots,

how many pots of honey do I have left?

Not enough for dinner, I'm afraid.

Hmm. Perhaps Pooh is smarter than I first suspected.

Surely one of these tomatoes will talk to me.

[clears throat]

I've always been known as a good listener.

So who would like to start?

A place for everything,

and everything in its place.

Oh, my. This is most certainly in the wrong place.

[rumbling]

I heard that. Which one of you was it?

Piglet.

What are you doing with that tomato?

Look out below!

Not a bad landing space. Thanks, Rabbit.

That does it!

It's high time we spoke with Pooh Bear

about his very smart advice,

which may not have been so very smart after all.

You're right, long ears.

Too bad we didn't think about doing that

before we followed Pooh's advice.

Pull!

If I'd known you were coming, Rabbit,

I'd have built a bigger door.

[crashing]

Pooh, I must have a word with you

about your very smart advice.

And what word would that be, Rabbit?

Just one.

It didn't work!

Pooh, Rabbit is a little concerned

that the very smart advice you gave

may not have been so very smart after all.

Yeah. And if you're not smart,

what were all those candles doing on your birthday cake?

Oh, yes. That reminds me.

My birthday cake.

There's still plenty to share.

The candles.

Why, there's only one.

Gasp! I'm seeing single.

What happened to the rest of your "birthyday" cake?

And all the candles?

Oh, yes. I remember.

Owl was asking me so many questions

that I worked up a very large appetite.

So I carefully placed all the candles in this honey jar.

For safe keeping.

Why, buddy bear, do you know what this means?

[chuckles]

No.

It means that jar is very, very old.

Why, it's "antiquifried."

Why, thank you, Tigger.

What a perfect birthday gift.

An "antiquifried" honey jar?

Does this mean that Pooh is not so very smart after all?

It is my opinion that our friend Pooh Bear

is the Poohiest bear I have ever known.

Oh, good. [chuckles]

Now that that's settled,

let's all enjoy this birthday slice.

Yeah, Pooh boy.

Now that's a terrifically smart idea.

Piglet: And friendly, too.
