The Great Pooh Journey: Finding Christopher Robin

On the last day of the summer, Christopher Robin meets, as usual, with Winnie the Pooh . They spend all day together, and in the evening the boy hints at the bear cub for an early parting. Winnie the Pooh lets these words pass by, although Christopher Robin really wants him to remember his words: “You are braver than you seem, stronger than you think, and smarter than you think.”

Autumn comes the next morning, and Winnie the Pooh discovers a pot of honey at his porch. He begins to search for Christopher Robin, but that is nowhere to be found, the rest of the Magic Forest cannot find him either. A note is found on the honey pot, which by that time has already been soiled and poorly readable, but the owl “deciphers” it: Christopher Robin was kidnapped by schoolboys and kept him in the eye socket of Mount Shkols ( Eng. Skull - Skull ^[1] ), and he asks his friends save him. Pooh, Piggy , Tigger , Rabbit and Ushastik are going on a journey full of deadly dangers to save their friend.

Five friends went on the map that Filin painted, and each lost faith in himself: Khryunya could not overcome the fear of heights , Tigrul assured himself that he had forgotten how to jump as high as before, and Rabbit had to admit that he was not so smart , since he cannot find the road without a map. Pooh is trying to cheer them all up with the words of Christopher Robin, but he forgot them and cannot remember.

Finally, they find themselves at Schools, and now they need to get into his eye socket through a terrible tunnel. There are several walkways inside, and friends have to split up. Pooh accidentally scares his comrades with a huge distorted reflection in a large crystal and a loud rumbling of his abdomen, and they decide that the little bear was eaten by schoolboys. Vinia falls into the pit and cannot get out, while the rest find the eye socket, but cannot reach it - it is too high. Then friends, thinking about the "dead" Vinnie, re-run their complexes: Rabbit comes up with a plan to climb up, Tigrul jumps high, and Piglet throws the rope from a great height.

Christopher Robin is found in the eye socket, alive and well. He explains to everyone that his note was deciphered incorrectly: in fact, he was at school today, and then he looked for them, and did not ask for any help. He also explains that the roar of the schoolboys that has been heard so far is Vinnie's rumbling in the stomach. Following this sound, friends find Pooh, and together they are selected to the surface.

Having climbed out, everyone is surprised to note that everything around is not at all as gloomy and sinister as it seemed to them at the beginning. In the evening, Christopher Robin tells Pooh that tomorrow he will go to school again, his friends swear to be together forever and ever, no matter what happens.
