    ‘Find Her, Keep Her’ last lines:
    Pooh: “You know, Piglet? When people care too much, I think it’s called love.”
    Piglet: “Ohhhhhhh. Do you think we should tell Rabbit?”

      That's one of my favorite last lines to a tv episode dealing with the emotional topic of saying goodbye. It's up there on my list along with the last lines of the Star Trek TNG episode Skin Of Evil:
      Data: "Sir...the purpose of this gathering confuses me."
      Picard: "Oh? How so?"
      Data: "My thoughts are not for Tasha, but for myself. I keep thinking...how empty it will be without her presence. Did I miss the point?"
      Picard: "No, you didn't, Data. You got it."

Seconded, by The Haunted Mansion ride, which is closely followed by Pirates of the Caribbean. After that, my favorite loosely historical fairytale Beauty & the Beast (and just before you ask, yes, I enjoy both the 1991 animated & 2017 live-action versions, based on independent merits for each, besides Howard Ashman & Alan Menken's lovely music used for both) and the 3 post-millennium franchises I like, _Lilo & Stitch_ (the movies & TV series, anime _Stitch!_ excluded), _Kim Possible_ (the TV series only) & _Gravity Falls_ (mostly due to Mabel Pines, plus the whole occultist mystery premise).

      Honestly I've always found whenever he's making statements like this, Doug bases it on a really limited perspective and relatively narrow scope of people, and it's no secret his research methods leave something to be wanted in general, to put it nicely.
      At the very least his general perspective is skewed by how heavily American it is; as a dweller from the other side of the pond, I've noticed how more often than not his description of public opinion on anything is nothing like what it seems like from where I'm standing.

    I feel exactly how the critic felt about Winnie-the-Pooh. I loved him when I was a very young, but when I moved up to Middle school I thought that I outgrew him, so I didn't say anything about him. Then when I got into high school my love for him slowly came back! I found myself rewatching The Tigger Movie; a movie that I haven't seen since I was in early elementary school only to appreciate the gorgeous backgrounds and recognize the references in the Tigger family tree song and finding out in shock that John Hurt the War Doctor in Doctor Who was the narrator and flat out enjoying it as much as I did when I was a kid. Then meeting Pooh when I was on my birthday trip to Disney World and watching Winnie-the-Pooh and Tigger too the night before graduating high school. Then finding out and meeting Jim Cummings at a local con. Let's just say that I'm back to being almost as big of a fan as I was when I was a kid!!

    I introduced this show to my 4 year old this year. Kessie flying away made me cry as a kid, all 100 times I watched it. My mom still talks about it, like it broke her heart in a way seeing me so upset, but I insisted on watching it everyday after school. Now I’m watching it with my little girl, feeling the emotions of rabbit even more so this time. The feeling you get watching your kids grow up is a dichotomy of joy and sadness, and this episode captures that complicated idea, and like Doug said, explains it so simply, a 4 year old gets it. Now in 2019, I’m crying and my little girl is crying, but it reminds us to always give that extra hug, because they grow up very fast ❤️

    There's something about this style of animation that SCREAMS mid to late 1980s. The colour choices, the timing, the backgrounds that don't quite match the paint of the animation cells so they stick out like the sore thumb, the slightly jerky mouth movements and so forth. It's so unique to that time period. It's weirdly charming in its crudeness and simplicity

    Find Her Keep Her is my fave. First time I saw it, I was like 5 or 6 years old, and I remember for years after that thinking it was some weird dream I had. I just thought that scene where Rabbit is hurt and barely talks to Kessie was just too sad to be real. Rediscovered it when I hit middle school and became obsessed with it! Now I’m almost 30 and I still look it up now and then. So good. A lot of the show is good. I’m glad I grew up with it!

    Ah yes. The show that gave Jim Cummings his voice-acting career. This show was my introduction to this character, Disney and the entertainment industry as a whole. The stories are emotionally engaging, the characters are wonderful, the animation is beautiful, and it captured the spirit of the A.A. Milne books and the theatrical shorts perfectly. And yes, the theme song is an infectious, catchy ear worm that will NEVER leave my head! By the way, fun fact: Laura Mooney, who voiced Kessie the bluebird in this show, went on to voice Katie Kaboom on Animaniacs.

    2. BALLOONATICS: Pooh has a nightmare where he is on trial for supposingly "popping Christopher Robin's balloon", Pooh is found guilty and falls while being in a prison cage.
    3. SORRY, WRONG SLUSHER: Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, Eeyore & Christopher Robin all get arrested and jailed for "first degree causing noise".
    In conclusion, Pooh & friends worst fears are NOT Heffalumps & Woozles. Their worst fears are GOING TO PRISON.

My mom is one of those people who are obsessed with Winnie the Pooh and we even have a "Tigger God" statue in our house because she loves Tigger so much.

    I agree with Doug, the episodes I remember the most are the ones that touched me on an emotional level as a kid. Like the two Doug mentioned titled "Find Her, Keep Her" and "Donkey For A Day". That cloud painting scene was downright beautiful and you never would have expected it to come from Eeyore of all characters. Another episode that touched me emotionally as a kid that Doug didn't mention was the episode "Stripes" where Tigger loses all of his stripes causing him to lose his identity altogether. After failing many attempts to find out what he is, he gets super depressed, walking alone in the dark and sobbing to himself "I'm not a Tigger, I'm not a rabbit, I'm not a bear, and I'm not a piglet. I'm not an anything. I haven't even got a name." Just seeing the always happy, energetic, and bouncing character of Tigger suddenly being sad made me sad in return. Luckily, Eeyore tells him that it doesn't matter what he looks like on the outside because he'll always be a Tigger on the inside. Hearing this causes him to start bouncing again which results in all of his stripes coming back one by one.

A lot of people dismiss Winnie the Pooh as a property strictly for children, but man there are some highly enjoyable, deep entries in the franchise. It's so comforting. Every time I re-watch a Pooh vignette, I discover something clever I missed as a kid. The Hundred Acre Wood is always such a delight to return to.

This was the best show of my childhood and one of the few where I still feel it's depth as an adult instead of realizing that I only found something entertaining because I was a kid who was entertained by shallow things. Pooh has a depth to it that helps me as an adult remember some of the important basic things that you learn as a kid but can forget in the chaos of growing up into a more complex world.

    Doug, I think you nailed it right on the head with that description.
    Piglet: "How do you spell love?"
    Pooh: "You don't spell it., you feel it."
    I think the magic of WTP is that it allows you to feel a deep level of emotion without having to dedicate too much brainpower for it. You don't have to wrap your head around a very complicated plot or pick up on a lot of subtle details to really enjoy it for it's wholesome value. Pooh is a silly old bear with a brain full of fluff and a heart full of love and I personally think that this show manages to capture and portray the essence of that character beautifully.

    This was always one of those shows I'd pretend to hate around my friends but secretly watched all the way up till I was 12. The quaint simplicity and charm of all the characters have consistently brought me back time and time again, so wholesome.

    This series was and *still* is very popular with children and older fans throughout the 1990s and early 2000s it remained on television (ABC, Disney Channel, Toon Disney) in the United States for nearly two decades.

    I wish this whole series could come to DVD or blue ray.

    I’ll never forget the theme song for this show. Instant childhood nostalgia.

    It’s just so damn wholesome I love it!
    I like when Tigger is the masked Avenger or when he’s a private I. Also when they mix up words like when Tigger says
    ‘We’re trapped, trapped like ratchets!’
