Full plot (contains spoilers)
The film presents three previously released Winnie-the-Pooh animated featurettes, with extra bridging material of Pooh interacting with the Narrator to introduce the three stories. A short scene was added to bring the film to a close; originally made during the production of Blustery Day (based on the presence of Jon Walmsley as Christopher Robin), and based on the final chapter of The House at Pooh Corner, Christopher Robin must leave behind the Hundred Acre Wood to start school. The Narrator concludes that wherever Christopher Robin goes, Pooh will always be waiting. Additionally, the film includes the short Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore (1983) in some home video releases.

- Production trivia
- The character Gopher was created because Disney wanted an all-American character that could appeal to children and add comedy.; The scene where Rabbit deals with Pooh's rump being part of the 'decor of his home' was not in the original book but was contemplated by Disney.; Walt Disney had personal involvement in this film as it was the last in the Disney canon where he was involved.
