- I forgot to mention it in the video, but if you want to learn more about Welcome to Pooh Corner I highly recommend the Defunctland video that covers it. It's a much more in depth look at the series as a whole and is just all around a better video than this so be sure to check it out if you haven't already.
• DefunctTV: The History...
If you were anything like me as a kid, you loved Winnie the Pooh. It was the theme of my nursery and ever since then it's been a super nostalgic thing for me. One iteration of Pooh Bear that I missed out on, however, was Welcome to Pooh Corner. It was made in the 1980s and was nothing short of terrifying. Disney live action has never been that popular I suppose, but this is just insane. So join me as I scar myself emotionally for the sake of content for this channel. You're welcome :)
I hope this video cheers you up a bit. Thank you for hanging out with me today. It means the world. Also, let's petition Disney Plus to release Welcome to Pooh Corner so that we can watch the rest of the episodes with the same level of concern as we've just watched this one. Have a great day everyone!
The Disney Channel used to be a pay per view channel during its early days. That’s what the phone number was for.
Yeah it hit me only after filming lol 🤣
The number to subscribe in "Welcome to Pooh Corner" is because the Disney Channel was a pay channel, like HBO. This was recorded during a promo.
Yeah I realized that after but kept the bit in because it still made me chuckle. ☺️
Not gonna lie, your commentary and point of view on this episode has made my day. That's kinda how I felt when I've watched the specific episode 10 years ago.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching! 😊
I used to freaking love this show!!!! Oh my goodness the memories!!! ❤️
I'm glad I could bring the nostalgia! Thanks for watching!
as a fan of wtpc, it’s so funny hearing other people who aren’t fans talk about it! this was hilarious!! i was actually crying when you called the number 😂😂
I'm so glad you liked it! I personally grew up with The Book of Pooh which was similar to WTPC in many ways and I had a lot of fun filming this one. Thank you so much for watching!
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff lol That number was to call to subscribe to The Disney Channel. When I was growing up, TDC was a premium channel. Every so often, TDC would make their channel free for a time, so non-subscribers could see what they were missing. Of course, during these times when the channel was 'free', subscribers were still billed for the channel---no discounts for us! XD
@@MartenFerret yeah I figured that out way later but it made me laugh that I didn't know so the hope is that my confusion is entertaining. 😂
TH-cam randomly recommended me this video. I grew up with this show in re runs. And it was a bit un settling which is one of the reasons why I preferred and I still visit it from time to time the show Adventures In Wonderland. I still have some good memories watching this with my Grandma though so it's not all bad. There is some charm in this but then again I am obsessed with Retro stuff. I know this is a vid from 2020 but I love seeing videos from you whether it be from back in the day or anything current. Keep up the great work Avery
Thanks Tilly! I always appreciate the support!
Another things (besides the unsettling character designs) that gives the show an uncanny quality for me is hearing Hal Smith do the voice of Pooh. He's this surreal in-between figure for me between Sterling Holloway and Jim Cummings (both much more famous in the role) - and I usually forget there was a period when he did the voice of Winnie the Pooh. But I believe he did Pooh's voice in the short A Day for Eeyore as well - and I have fond memories of that one. I don't mean to say his voice acting is weird or surreal or anything - just that everybody (myself included) seems to forget he ever did the voice until hearing him. It adds another layer of, "This feels... off" or "What was that weird childhood memory and why does it feel so off in my mind?" to the proceedings lol.
I totally know what you mean...he did great, it's just another reminder that this show happened in an era of, "what is even happening" for Pooh bear 😅
My brother is obsessed with winne the pooh as a kid, he still has his winne the pooh bear
I still have so many Winnie the Pooh plushies and books. It was a huge thing for me for sure. 🙂
13:44 A little trivia and backstory I should give out... See, when I was younger I remember having a copy of "Sing a Song with Pooh Bear" where Pooh goes on the mission to find his own song to sing. (While archival footage of mostly "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" would play while the Pooh cast dubbed over it, just to try to match the plot.) I used to think that this song, (as well as some others featured in the tape) was the original place for it. But then when I saw this very episode of "Welcome to Pooh Corner" for myself, I realized that "Try a Little Something New", and "Your the One and Only One" originally came from that very series, and would later be revived in "Sing a Song with Pooh Bear" with some lyric changes.
Ooh, that's really interesting! Thank you for sharing. 😊
Well I grew up with this show and it was creepy to me as a child. I avoided it because it was horrifying.
6:28 I watched this episode on TH-cam maybe 10 years ago (during my middle school Winnie the Pooh phase, which in retrospective was definitely caused by my then undiagnosed autism 😂). This song is still in my head to this very day 😂
Winnie the Pooh is an admirable thing to obsess over though.
I loved this show when I was a child I grew up watching this and I seen every episode of welcome to Pooh corner from the 1980’s
I really wish they would put the series on disney plus because I would love to cover more episodes. 🙂
Wanted to come back to where I first discovered your videos 3 years ago!
I don't think there's anything "scary" about this show. The episodes are actually super sweet and teach good lessons.
Oh My F-ing God... I remember watching this when I was little. My grandma was a teacher who had access to a lot of videos for children my older brother and I would watch during summer when school was on summer recess
It's absolutely bizarre right? And the songs are still stuck in my head. 😂
Looks like someone stabilized the footage wrong, and the resulting Easy Rider style camera shake only adds to the craziness :D
Yeah I was noticing that. 😂 It adds to the aesthetic somehow though and it's honestly charming to think that someone had this on a vhs and then shared it with all of us via TH-cam.
What is it about giving whites to character's eyes that normally just have black dots, makes them instantly 10000% creepier
I don't know but I don't care for it 😅
I grew up with Winnie the Pooh, but this was before my time. I discovered this series through TH-cam Poop
Same I was more my friends Tigger and Pooh era
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff That was AFTER my time. Grew up with New Adventures reruns and Book of Pooh
It's one of my favorite show.
I actually found that most of the episodes (the ones that aren't lost media) are all on the internet archive so I should return to it soon.
Why don’t they plant more of these messages in kids shows
I think they do just in a different way.
When I was like 8 there was a really short period of time when I was really into Winnie the Pooh because someone gave me a Tigger plushie, so I got a few more items, like a cup and a blanket, but I never saw any of the movies or cartoons. I think I saw an ad for a movie or maybe a toy, and that's all I had to base my knowledge of the characters.
My favorite was always The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh which was the original movie made by Walt Disney. The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh was also a series that I really liked. There was a puppet show type version on when I was little in the 90s called The Book of Pooh which wasn't nearly as scary as this one. I don't know what happened with this particular show but I'm very unsettled by it. 😂
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff I do remember watching one or two episodes of The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, but that was when I was like 10 so I have no idea if Iiked it or not. But the show from the video I didn't even knew it existed, but I can understand the creepiness of it.
@@raulg22 yeah I only recently learned of this shows existence and I was very confused lol.
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff Winnie the Pooh has always been my childhood and Tigger is my favourite character ever since The Tigger Movie. The Book of Pooh is my all time favourite along with TNAOWTP as a kid, 'cause before The Christopher Robin movie, it was interesting to see Winnie the Pooh, outside 2D animation, In the UK, TBOP always used to come on Channel 5 every morning back in the early 2000s. I didn't notice Welcome to Pooh Corner until I found some episodes on TH-cam and I honestly didn't find it creppy, off key maybe. There are episodes I'd liked in this incarnation including the spaghetti episode. To be honest, I like any episode, involving Tigger, in any version of Winnie the Pooh.
This, Dumbo's Circus, Alice in Wonderland and mousercise was my childhood.

oh an other show shout out, Peeter Pan and the Pirates
I think the subscription was the Disney Channel Subscription Disney was originally a Subscription channel, like HBO no adds and movies like Ghostbusters aired with all the cuss words censored out
I like the welcome to Pooh Corner.
First you suggest that there's something weird about eating so much spaghetti that you spend the entire night screaming, then you throw shade at people who prefer to sleep in bedding that looks like their own skin. I'm feeling very othered right now.
And literally the only thing I remember from the show is an episode where a character is mixing paints and discovers the color invisible. I don't even remember what hijinks ensued, my little baby brain was just so blown away by this high-concept Pooh's corner episode.
Ah, I wholeheartedly apologize. I wouldn't want to single anyone in my audience out. 😂 That episode sounds amazing and if I'm ever able to track it down in my internet travels I'll be sure to cover it.
Disney channel was not on cable back then. So if you wanted the channel you had to call that number.
Yeah I figured that out eventually 😂
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff I grew up with that show. I wish Disney will release them on dvd/blue ray.
A lot of videos/reviews of this sort are a bit exaggerated. Kids ate up this stuff---it wasn't creepy/scary to the most innocent/vulnerable to our society, yet adults (say) they need trigger warnings, etc., to even look at it. :p
Yeah I know it's special to a lot of people and I never want anyone to feel like I'm hating on something important to them and simultaneously I've always been creeped out by puppet type things so I tried to be as fair as I could. 🙂
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff You're fine. :3
The owl is a night bird, so is always awake and watching as midnight munchy time takes hold of people and could have learned to cook and.................it could happen :D:D
Nothing cures the munchies like birdseed stew. 😂
6:00 - I felt this. Hard.
You've probably seen this in your research for this video, but on the off-chance you haven't, DefunctTV did an amazing deep-dive here: th-cam.com/video/3BINRuQoYdg/w-d-xo.html. Not that you'd want to intentionally watch more of what you find terrifying, but eh.
I PROBABLY SHOULD'VE READ THE DESCRIPTION PRIOR TO COMMENTING THIS. OOPS.
No way. YOU DIDN'T. 13:05! I THOUGHT *I* WAS THE ONLY PERSON THAT OCCASIONALLY VOICES PUNCTUATION! Exclamation mark! Exclamation mark!
@@mysfiring haha, no worries! I meant to shout out defunctTV in the video but completely forgot. 😂 You gotta always voice the punctuation so it doesn't feel left out of the sentence. 😂
oh my goodness that is scary
It really is a thing of nightmares...
Have you ever seen ‘The Book of Pooh’? If so what’s your opinion on it? I honestly think it’s a much better series than this. Mainly cause the visuals are much brighter (here they look so dull), the characters while being puppets actually look more like the cartoon versions (these look more knockoff birthday party costumes), and the voices are so much better since it’s Jim Cummings, John Fiedler, Peter Cullen and so on, i.e the cast that most people are familiar with and use to hearing.
I actually grew up with the book of Pooh and it didn't scare me like other puppet shows did. I always thought the characters just looked like stuffed animals. Which I guess they are.
11:46 what was that noise coming from, when you was pointing out Tigger's bed sheets?
That's the sound of me scratching on the keyboard of my computer while I was filming. It's an annoying nervous habit of mine that I never realize until I'm editing the video afterwards. Sorry if it's distracting. 😂
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff No worries lol
I remember watching this as a kid. I actually loved this show but did think Tigger might be a coke head. Fun fact, The Soap Nazi Larry Thomas was involved in this show.
I have a lot of respect for the performers for making it happen but there's just something about the way they blink that gets me. 😂
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff I can see that now. Never struck me as a kid.
@@PaulonotPaul8 yeah it makes me happy when people have good memories of the stuff we talk about here. 😊
only thing i know about this is the "stranger danger" episode
I briefly thought of covering that one but when I watched it all the way through I realized how dark and triggering it was and decided this episode was a better option.
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff good call.
I only saw a clip from this nightmare fuel back in the day. and that was at the doctor's office. we never went back to that office after my dad's passing. so yeah not a pleasant memory. and I thought Pooh blood & honey was the horror movie?
I'm sorry for your loss and that it's such an awful memory for you. I have a feeling this will scare me more than blood and honey forever.
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff thank you. no kid should ever lose a parent at the age of 11.
@@berniedavis6676 agreed I can't imagine how hard that was.
Is Winnie the Pooh still banned in China ?
Oh wow. I forgot about that. I'm actually not sure.
The creepy part is how the eyebrows move
