Description
Based off the last scene in Winnie The Pooh's Most Grand Adventure. The moment when Christopher, reflecting on his first day of school, and away from his toys, wonders if Pooh Bear will always be there for him.I was tempted to put in a second panel where an older Christopher Robin is sitting there by himself, having outgrown Pooh, but I thought that might be pushing it a bit haha. I may do it eventually.
Can I also just point out how much nicer my background and colours are than the original film? Go look at the original film. It has these big brown/purple cloud things and no shadows or highlights. Mine's all colourdyful.

I loved that movie when I was a little kid, it's a dark movie beyond Pooh standards, but it's also a sad movie. The ending is bittersweet yet lovely. That song "Wherever You Are" and the end credits version is hard to listen because it always made me cry. Β
It had mixed reviews because (like I said) it is dark and even scary for little kids and didn't feel like a Winnie-the-Pooh movie. I don't care, I still love Pooh's Grand Adventure.
I also like The Tigger Movie; Piglet's Big Movie was okay in my opinion--it ain't one of those movies that you'd watch many times.

Am 30 years old, soon be 31 Friday! and I still have fav plush(Disney's Dancing Jolly plush from Hunchback), always waiting for me in bed!
As he old and torn and I cant risk hard play with him!
I LOST HIM TWICE IN CANADA. Took him to school, used him as a volleyball with my few friends, that goat has seen so much!
HE'S ALSO BLIND NOW! all his paint on his eyes are all but gone and he so thread worn, the nape of his fake fur is has been rubbed off in patches lol

"Wherever they go, and whatever happens to them along the way, in that enchanted place on top of the forest, a little bear will always be waiting."

I hate that versions of that quote, it's so tragic to think of Pooh Bear waiting by himself. Much prefer the original Milne, 'a little boy and his bear will always be playing.'

Seriously, I think there is a law to not hate Winnie the Pooh because I have met nobody who dislikes the lovable willie nilly silly old bear!

I actually have met people who either A) didn't grow up with him and are indifferent or even worse, B) DID grow up with him, and are indifferent.
But not haters, fortunately!

That's always a good thing

The real-life Christopher Robin was badly teased at boarding school and began to hate the books and blame his father for writing about him (a little bit of exploitation, never-the-less).

Yep, I've read CR's biographies, I know all about him and his detachment from his father's work.

Yeah, he was badly embarrassed.

Most emotional part of Winnie the Pooh that it makes you question why growing up should be so important if it all comes down to something like this.

I think the secret is nobody really wants to grow up, we just don't get a choice in the matter.

I hear that.Β I am 22 and about to graduate college and do Geology work but I'm still a kid at heart.

This is beautiful. All of your Winnie the Pooh works are wonderful.

This is just so sad and touching. ;n; Never underestimate the feels, because this is enough to make a grown man cry. (and I'm not a grown man if that's what you're thinking.)

Wow. This really blew me away. I myself have struggled with the idea of growing up, and leaving behind all those things I used to love so much. To me, you never really do lose those things, if you don't want to. I will always treasure my fondest childhood memories as I grow older. *Shrug* I don't know, it's hard to explain in words, really.
Winnie the Pooh will always hold a special place in my heart. My parents nicknamed me "Pooh Bear" as a child because when I was a baby I apparently made growling noises like a bear, and as a toddler I loved Winnie the Pooh.
Thanks for sharing. This is amazing work. Brought a tear to my eye.

I agree, I'm never going to lose my childhood magic. I'm 25 and I'm seriously struggling with growing up - but I figure as long as I take my adult responsibilities on board, I can be a kid in my free time. Far as I'm concerned, that's the only way to go through life.
Pooh is very special to me too, when I was a child the Hundred Acre Wood was one of the first mental escapes I had in terms of fiction. I've become an avid fan of books over the years because I love escaping into a different world for a while. Same goes even for the tv shows I love. But Pooh was the first, I always wanted so badly to go to this hill on top of the forest.
And thank you, I'm really glad you like it so much :3

That's exactly how I feel. 
I've always loved reading fantasy novels and playing video games because they offer me an escape to a world more exciting than my own.Β I'm glad I've found someone who feels the same, because it's something I've struggled with a lot, especially over the last few weeks as I just turned 20. As time goes on I find myselfΒ desperatelyΒ clinging to things that remind me of childhood, not wanting to lose that magic that I love so much. Disney's animated movies were my favourite as a child, (Bambi, The Lion King, The Fox and the Hound, Hercules, Beauty and The Beast, Aladdin, Mulan, etc) and I still enjoy re-watching them to this day.
Thanks for sharing your story with me. It makes me feel better to know I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Yes, video games too! I adore RPGs for the stories, like Shadow Hearts and certain Final Fantasies in particular. Any form of fiction, really. As a child, TLK and Pocahontas were my two favourites alongside Winnie the Pooh, and some other tv show cartoons like My Little Pony. Live action movies don't do as much for me, but tv shows like Merlin (BBC) or Supernatural - I get totally lost in the fantasy of those worlds and the stories of those characters. I think it allows me to vent sadness and anger at sort of, solid manifestations of good and evil and right and wrong etc, in a way that I can't in my own life because in my own life the things that made me sad or angry are just overarching concepts like growing up and having to be responsible and trying not to have panic attacks all the time over feeling like I'm inadequate and incapable etc.
And no worries, likewise - I feel very childish around some of my peers, who are often a bit older again and successful, married, happy, active individuals with hobbies and money and mortgages and cars and I'm sitting here at 25 with no desire to have any of those things except financial security and a simple, quiet life where I can muck about like a 12 year old lol! So it's always nice to meet people who feel the same way :3

Hmmm... it's interesting how exactly you describe the things that I'm going through. The feelings of panic, inadequacy, incapability, and the escape into fantasy worlds. Perhaps this is a more common thing than I had once thought. Well, I feel a bit more normal now.

Agreed 100%. They decided it was too dark to put in cinemas, as far as I know.
π: 0 β©: 1
It would've gotton a PG rating is so. And too dark? Well it was scary, but... Oh right... Hunchback was released BEFORE it, and probably had controversy all over. But I still ... wish... The same goes for films like ''Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins''... and ''Bambi II'' only came out in Europe

It was pretty dark for a Winnie the Pooh film - the imagery was scary but it was also quite mature and sad in its themes of growing up and growing apart. It's quite possible those themes would be lost on teeny little viewers, but I know I get very upset watching this film because of those themes.
It also makes me sad to know that the real Christopher Robin did outgrow his toys, and happily donated them to a museum when he had no more use for them, not understanding why people couldn't believe he could seperate from them so easily - but the reality is to him they were just toys like any other, and to his mind, all adults outgrow their toys. I find that very sad - I still love my cuddly toys, and don't think I'll ever outgrow them.
