Synopsis[]
When Tigger, Gopher, Piglet and Rabbit are annoyed at Pooh for being late to everything, they decide to try to speed him up in their own ways. Gopher’s plan succeeds, but now he is too fast! Will they be able to slow Pooh down?
Plot[]
It all started when Gopher, Piglet, Tigger, and Rabbit are taking a fire drill, and right afterwards, Pooh came and tries to not admit that he was late again. So Gopher plans to build a huge ramp for Pooh to launch off of, and he named it the Solar-Powered-Wood-Grained-Speeder-Upper. The others think he’s crazy and try to make Pooh faster in their own ways. Rabbit tried giving him a schedule to keep track of what to do, but Pooh ended up losing it in the wind. Tigger said that stripes makes everyone faster, but makes a pattern on him instead. Piglet said in order to not be late, try taking short cuts. After all of their plans fail, Gopher’s plan was a success, but now he’s too fast, that he ruins everything, so the gang try to slow him down rather than speed him up instead. After Pooh accidentally runs into Eeyore, the gang try to become as fast as Pooh is. when Pooh and Eeyore find them all exhausted for trying to be at the same pace as him, Pooh thinks he’s late for something again, which he ends up), and they figured out that the slow Pooh is the best one.
