Frankenpooh

Before we start, this vhs opens with perhaps my favorite Disney opening ever. It's the old opening where sorceror Mickey has a ball of light come from his hand to swirl into the words Walt Disney as Home Video flies in underneath. Yay for nostalgia!

So. Onto the film. Piglet, Rabbit, Tigger, Gopher, and Winnie the Pooh have gathered at Piglet's where he proceeds to tell a Not-So-Scary story. However, Tigger finds it scary just how unscary this is. He proceeds to scare it up and takes over the story of the scientist and gives him the monster Frankenpooh.

Frankenpooh escapes the scientist, Von Piglet and proceeds to hunt down honey. The villagers form a mob and come for poor Piglet who took the story too seriously.

Moving along to the next short, a few residents of the 100 Acre Wood go in search of "Spookables" when they are awoken by a scary shadow and the sounds of moans. Through a series of mistaken identities. Tigger finally discovers a stuck Eeyore and helps free him. The others group up and are scared when the donkey flies free and lands near the group.

In the final short, the gang decides to go camping despite the thought of the "Grabme Gotcha" being loose in the woods. Rabbit insists that there is no such thing, though when Pooh and Piglet go missing, the others set off in search of them. Pooh seems to think that they are now on the moon...and goes off in search of the moon honey. All turns out right in the end, when Poohs odd brand of logic and Rabbits group finally encounter.

All in all, Frankenpooh is good fun for those who are fans of the lovable bear. This may not be Winnie the Pooh at his best, but it's certainly not his worst either. The animation is alright for a t.v show, and easier on the eyes than the more flashy and edgy ones of today. This however, is not for everyone especially if one does not care for lovable bears and sugary fun.
