A windy day has Piglet all up in his PTSD as he flashes back to a previous day when the wind whisked him far into the air while he was holding a balloon. But Pooh takes him round the Hundred-Acre Wood meeting all their friends one-by-one, with each one giving an example of why wind is good, all before a book-ending party of course.

Anyone got a good hashtag for this rusty old and much-abused Pooh story structure? #hundredacrehacks #WinnieThePoohAndTropesToo #poohbearcirclejerk show more #poohsgenericadventurethesearchforanewplot

(My Pooh Project: I love Winnie the Pooh, and so does my wife. Having a daughter gave us a chance to indoctrinate her into the cult by buying and reading her every Pooh book we came across. How many is that? I’m going to count them this year by reading and reviewing one every day and seeing which month I finally run out. Track my progress here:

Ouch! Eeyore finds out he is everyone's second priority as he makes the rounds of the Pooh friends asking for help to find his lost tail. They eventually half-ass some apologies but undercut it with some condescending winks as they prank him in the process.

One of the most mean-spirited Pooh books I've ever read.

Owl forecasts a day with no rain or wind, so Pooh arranges a picnic with Piglet and Eeyore. When Owl proves a piss poor prognosticator, Pooh's picnic becomes a challenge in maintaining a positive attitude when things don't go your way. When life gives you wind, Pollyanna Pooh proposes, make kites.

An orange creature is put in a position of authority after using demagoguery to whip up fear in the populace against those bad hombres, the jagulars. He backs up the big lie by running a false flag operation. A coup is orchestrated through a deep state operation run by a bitter, long-eared rival.

Tigger's staggering narcissism makes the heel turn quite believable. For another Tigger attempt at tyranny, be sure to check out Tigger Takes Over from the My Very First Winnie the Pooh series. These show more two prophetic books are surely more kindling to stoke the fire of rancor toward Disney burning in hearts of American conservatives today.

This is an adaptation of The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh animated cartoon segment "King of the Beasties" (season 1, episode 17, originally aired Jan. 7, 1989, show credits: story by Mark Zaslove; written by Carter Crocker; directed by Karl Geurs, David Block, Terence Harrison, and Bob Zamboni.) After reading the book, I took the opportunity to rewatch the segment on Disney+. The adaptation has expunged Christopher Robin and some meta gags that start the show and played around with the order of events, but it is pretty faithful otherwise.
