my 3 fav cozy fun halloween watches that you can also watch

Winnie the Pooh, Boo to you too! also on archive .org!

- No stress - Heartwarming <3 - Tiger's song "I wanna scare myself" always a banger Probably the first halloween movie kid me ever saw, and still honestly my main go-to one. Visuals? Spoopy. Music? On point. Story? Friends wanting to spend halloween with their bestie no matter what. Piglet? Brave. Tiger? Relatable. Pooh? Wise and full of love. Goffer? Slaying. Eeyore? Zero energy and still trucking. Rabbit? A nervous wreck sobbing over his pumpkin patch. Perfect. We stan.

Hansel and Gretel (1987) also on archive .org!

- Family drama (is resolved) - catchy music! - i know some ppl can't stand child actors - THE DUCK LIVES - obviously food and eating are big plot points so yeah Is it a halloween movie? No. Do I care? Not with treats this good looking, music this catchy, vibes this cozy, or a witch this awesome. We've got haunted woods and kids eating sweets and then playing the best trick of all on the witch who wanted to eat THEM- that sounds halloween-y enough to me! Plus the witch's reveal is legit creepy. Make sure you have snacks for this one. Also, if realistic family drama due to the trauma of poverty isn't your thing, skip to after the kids run into the woods.

Shelly Dvuall’s America’s Tall Tales And Legends: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow also on archive .org!

- Low stress - Comedy as heck - literally feels like someone telling you a ghost story - AAAAAAAACTING!!!!! - there is a spider during the picnic scene THE CLASSIC! THE OG! MY FAV!!!! This was THE hallween movie to me as a kid- and now i completely get why! It's like watching a stage play where everyone LOVED every scene they were in- the vibes are spoooooky sometimes in an adorably camp way, and then charming and cozy the next! It has so much fun- there are so many lines that are memes to me- like ichabod THROWING himself into bed with "And if I......DIE... before I wake.... BRINGMEBACKTOLIFE!" and Katerina's eyerolling "....assuming I know the horse-" (it makes sense in context i swear) and and and the FUN of seeing Brom Bones 'crushing' a tankered angrily, acting out the strain of it, when you can clearly tell the prop is like, maybe the strength of a soda pop can XD.... But the best part is the stinger ending. How this whole story is ended with the sudden reveal of the REAL headless horseman (maybe?) and how THAT terrifying image is the last thing it leaves the watching kids with- it feels like that last jump scare at the end of a campfire ghost story, the hand reaching out to grab you for one final scream, and I love it. I love this whole thing so much.

Now.

If you DO want something spookier, but only in the atmospheric sense....

Whistle and I'll Come to You, also on archive .org - Slow building stress - Paranoia fuel - There is no way the main character is neurotypical (relatable) - a bedsheet ghost!!!!! YAY! - a few audio startlements but otherwise all gradual scares So this is based off a short story by an old not cool dead guy. It's about finding something in a grave and not heeding the warning label. I read the story years ago and was very pleased by the bedsheet ghost, the idea of feeling like Something Is Coming, and I can say that this adaption is... different, but does very good on setting up the vibes up until the ending. I'm bit let down by how the final bedsheet ghost turned out, and abrupt cut off to the story, but the vibes up till then is really fun to sink into. Some of the cinematography does a good job of making me aware of empty space, the feeling that Something I Can't See might also be in the frame. Spoooky.

For Fey: 10, 17, 20?

Fey Answers

10: What’s something you’re excited for?

“Raph found a Piglet stuffed animal… I’m going with him and Mikey and Donnie and Leo to get it. To match with my Eeyore. Mikey said they’ll all keep looking and one day I’ll have everyone… it feels warm to think about.”

17: Fairy Lights or LED Lights?

“… I like fairy lights… they’re… soft. And warm.”

20: What do you want most in the world right now?

“Oh, um… I’m… I’m okay. I don’t need anything…”

Fey finds it very hard to ask for or dream of things. She worries she’s too selfish. But, if she were honest, she would say she would like to have a movie night with her brothers, maybe Jupiter Jim’s Pluto Vacation IV (she likes musicals.)

If she were even more honest, she would request they watch a classic animated Disney film, like Cinderella or Aladdin or Snow White. She wouldn’t ask for a specific one, she’d let her brothers decide, and she would be legitimately happy with whatever they chose. You see, Fey’s favorite thing in the world (other than her loved ones) is Winnie the Pooh. Her second favorite is classic Disney, and she has a special fondness for Disney Princesses.

——————————-

Thank you for the ask!

Winnie the Pooh characters as Academia Aesthetics✨

Tigger: chaotic academia / pirate academia

Piglet: romantic academia

Pooh: cottagecore academia

Rabbit: science academia

Eeyore: art/literature academia

Gopher: darkest academia

Roo: kawaii academia / kid academia

Lumpy: pastel academia

Christopher Robin: classic academia

Kanga: cozy academia

Owl: light academia

additional notes:

Piglet & romantic academia might seem odd, but in New Adventures of Winnie Pooh we see him writing poems & reciting them to his friends, and (if we leave out the changes that Tigger makes) they're preeetty romantic (not in the flirty way, you know what I mean). Also, he can enjoy little things in life, he likes decorating his house & is fond of beauty.

Gopher. Do I need to explain more? He spends most of his time in the dark tunnels (even though he's afraid of the dark), he's very logical, down-to-earth & doesn't seem to enjoy the fun/lighthearted activities that much. His human, modern wardrobe would definitely be VERY dark, sophisticated & edgy.

Okay, I think we can agree that Eeyore is such a relatable, underrated donkey. He seems passive & pessimistic but on the inside, he has a soft side & he's seen enjoying some quiet, creative activities. In The Book of Pooh, there's this episode called "You Can Lead Eeyore To Books" where he doesn't enjoy reading until he finds a book with sad poems that he loves. He's known to be quiet & sometimes philosophical, he can get very deep too.

I think, Tigger's association it's pretty self-explanatory. I can see him enjoying unconventional ways of learning, be curious about banned literature and have a messed up daily schedule with little to no routine. Tbh, if you look more into chaotic academia, it seems perfect for him BUT on the same time, pirate academia would also fit. There are multiple episodes where the friends play pirates, and you can see how much Tigger enjoys it. I guess, he would totally be fascinated by pirates, love piratecore, watch movies, read pirate adventure novels etc. He's also quite imaginative.

Christopher Robin's personality is rather "unspectacular". I don't want to say anything negative against him, but he seems quite normal & classy. His bedroom is literally described as one that could belong to any little boy. He doesn't stand out a lot. (He has a lot of good qualities but what I want to say is that he would represent the classic one among the academia aesthetics).

Kanga is the mom friend™️ (while being a mom). She's known to be friendly, patient & she's more in the background, usually not joining the adventures. She's a homebody & ensures that everyone is fine.

Ok, I admit that I partly link Lumpy to pastel academia because of his color BUT it's not the only reason. He's very soft, sensitive & I believe that his light purple suits his personality very well. He can be anxious & shy, but also adventurous, playful & creative. In the Heffalump Movie, he plays the more cautious role next to Roo while playing together & exploring the 100 Acre Wood. In the Halloween movie, he's the one who's scared of the spooky stuff. In some lesser known show, he spends the nights at Roo's place & gets homesick. But he's still curious, sweet & always wants to play.

Roo reminds me of the lesser known kid academia aesthetic. Of course his age plays a role, but crayons, elementary school learning styles, childlike stationary & clothes,... I think the aesthetic fits him very well. He's playful, imaginative & loves to learn new things. Kawaii academia also reminds me of Roo, I can't really explain it.

Rabbit, the pragmatic, practical & sometimes strict one who wants everyone to follow the rules, has to be linked to science academia. I initially thought of cottagecore but this was just because of him gardening. He's more on the logical, head-over-feelings side which is frequently shown. He can become a bit too focused on facts when it'd be more important to listen to emotions. He prefers to make an exact plan & actually enjoys following the instructions (like, when planning a party, celebrating Easter or when he was overly fixated on the map Owl drew while searching for Christopher Robin).

And Pooh is so connected & attentive to nature & simple things in life, I can't think of another academia aesthetic that would fit better. Cottagecore academia is about connecting traditional academia & a passion for learning to the cottagecore lifestyle. Pooh might seem like he's not paying a lot of attention to his surroundings, but he's actually heavily influenced by them. He goes to his special spot for Thinking™️, he enjoys nature & his actions are often influenced by the wellbeing of his friends. He spends a lot of time with deciding on a nice gift, making someone happy etc. And, of course, his daily life focuses a lot on honey.

Owl seems to be the only one who really fits the academia aesthetic in the traditional way. He loves reading, long discussions, a good cup of tea and he gets very passionate about knowledge. He'd also definitely have a soft spot for vintage things. I think he would prefer the lighter side of the academia aesthetic, as I can't see any of the dark academia characteristics in him

Rating: 5/5

Book Blurb: Welcome back to the Hundred Acre Wood as Winnie-the-Pooh and friends acclimate to the joys and worries of the 21st century in this heartfelt parody.

The world has changed in the hundred years since A. A. Milne introduced us to Winnie-the-Pooh and his pals, but that doesn’t mean our lovable friends haven’t adapted to life in the twenty-first century. In this heartwarming, laugh-out-loud parody, Jennie Egerdie, author of the celebrated Frog and Toad are Doing Their Best, takes us along for some marvelous misadventures as the gang grapples with modern life’s headaches and pesky predicaments. Like the rest of us, Pooh worries about what the dwindling bee population will do to his beloved honey, while Owl discovers how far too easily misinformation can spread online. Kanga hopes she can have a night off from raising Roo, and Eeyore is finally taking care of his mental health with the help of Dr Festinker, the neighborhood therapist (and skunk). Things may not always make sense in our world, but Winnie-the- Pooh always bounds ahead, day by day and smackeral by smackeral.

Review:

A charming and cozy read about Pooh and his friends from the Hundred Acre Woods as they deal with misadventures and fun. This was such a cute and cozy read and still keeps the charm of the classic characters. It's perfect for fans of Frog and Toad and anyone who enjoys a sweet and adorable read. It perfectly captures the essence of the original characters but with a modern feel and twist and I think its just delightful!

*Thanks Netgalley and Running Press, Running Press Adult for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*

The Bridge Between Two Winnie The Pooh Eras

The other day, I added the 1981 VHS release of THE MANY ADVENTURES OF WINNIE THE POOH to my collection. As you may know, "vintage" Disney VHS tape collecting has been my hobby for about two decades now. I wanted to get all the first-generation VHS releases of Disney animated features on video.

A lot of those first releases were part of a line called "The Classics", which Walt Disney Home Video launched in 1984 and wrapped up in 1994, which served as the line where many of the animated movies made their debut on home video... But before The Classics line was established, Disney did release a small handful of animated movies on video.

However, these were films that were either anthologies that could easily be carved up (with its individual shorts being shown elsewhere, i.e. TV, accompanying a feature film, etc.), or films that Walt Disney approved for television. THE MANY ADVENTURES OF WINNIE THE POOH was not considered part of the "animated classics canon" at the time, which was then newly created to celebrate the release of THE FOX AND THE HOUND in July 1981.

This was probably because, as I laid out in a post weeks ago, it's a Frankenstein creation. It's two-thirds a scrapped Walt Disney Winnie The Pooh movie that would've come out in 1965 if finished. The beginning and middle of that unmade movie were instead released as short films in 1966 (HONEY TREE) and 1968 (BLUSTERY DAY). The final third of the picture is a short film conceived and made well after Walt's passing in late 1966, TIGGER TOO. That was a training vehicle for Disney's then-new animator hires, such as a returning Don Bluth. The ending of the movie - where Christopher Robin has to go to school - was originally meant for the BLUSTERY DAY short after it had been retooled as a half-hour short film. So it's this weird completion of an unmade Walt movie, but adding stuff he didn't sign off on. Disney spins the tale a different way, claiming that Walt had the whole feature planned, but wanted to release the three thirds first and then the movie itself afterwards... Which does not add up.

As such, MANY ADVENTURES didn't count as part of the list... So it received a video release very early on, in June 1981. Alongside DUMBO that same month. DUMBO and MANY ADVENTURES are the very first Disney animated movies to be released on video. Later that year, in October, Disney then released ALICE IN WONDERLAND to video. Then, in November 1982, the 1940s package anthology features THE THREE CABALLEROS and FUN & FANCY FREE came to video. So that makes five films before the Classics line was launched in December 1984.

So I finally got all of them. And when the MANY ADVENTURES VHS arrived in the mail, I of course gave it a watch to make sure it worked, and to see a pre-restoration MANY ADVENTURES.

I've seen the individual shorts and the compilation movie multiple times. Winnie the Pooh literally raised me in the early '90s and onward. My sister and I had the 1989 Mini-Classics VHS releases of the three featurettes, and also the Mini-Classics release of the rather strange fourth one. The fourth short - WINNIE THE POOH AND A DAY FOR EEYORE - that came out six years after the 1977 movie came to theaters. My maternal grandparents had the 1996 VHS of MANY ADVENTURES. We also had two volumes of the 1988 TV show, THE NEW ADVENTURES OF WINNIE THE POOH. I'd argue the '90s was the decade Disney's version of Winnie The Pooh was really cemented as a front-and-center Disney character, though he was very popular upon his arrival in 1966... But I'd say he was **everywhere** in the '90s, as he was sorta Disney's horse in the preschooler program race. Their answer to, say, Barney and Nick Jr. and such. They had a truckton of NEW ADVENTURES episodes to make tons of VHS volumes out of, and lots of other stuff.

Anyways, HONEY TREE and BLUSTERY DAY are fantastic. The '60s Xerography process and the simplistic etched picture book aesthetic go hand-in-hand, but what's really great about these two half-hour shorts is that they absolutely nail the silly and charming whimsy of that world. Walt and crew's Hundred Acre Wood is not dissimilar to their takes on Wonderland and Never Neverland, a place where time sort of stops (to borrow from a conversation I had with a fellow enthusiast on these things) and it's truly like someone's spontaneous imagination. Random and messy, like a kid's brain is. These characters are fun, but also quite weird. Like a bunch of oddballs all existing, and the vibes are cozy and chill and a little droll. I've read that Walt's hang-up with the planned feature version of Winnie The Pooh circa 1964, contrary to what Disney themselves say, was due to the material being too "fluffy" to sustain a feature. Walt had similar difficulties with ALICE IN WONDERLAND and PETER PAN, all three of these stories were adapted from British classics. PETER PAN a play and then a book, ALICE IN WONDERLAND from two books by Lewis Carroll, and Winnie The Pooh a series of bedtime stories by A. A. Milne. Apparently they just didn't add up as stories for a roughly 75-minute movie, but this is an instance where I feel Walt was being a poor judge of his own work.

If Winnie The Pooh had been a feature and released in 1965 - whatever the last third of it would've been like, it likely would've worked. It likely would've gone down as a through-and-through classic. The 2/3, again - HONEY TREE and BLUSTERY DAY, are just right. But Walt got a lot of pushback on ALICE IN WONDERLAND, and PETER PAN was given something of a mixed reception upon its original release. He chalked things up the stories not being strong enough, the characters lacking in ALICE's case. But maybe the Missouri-raised Walt Disney felt that he couldn't do this sort of British whimsy and nonsense, these sorts of worlds that are of someone's subconscious or their imagination. Even a relatively literal film like THE SWORD IN THE STONE, another meandering British tale with lots of whimsy and an equally lollygagging vibe, was not to his liking... But this is where I disagree with his views way back when.

The post-Walt team behind WINNIE THE POOH AND TIGGER TOO keep true to that spirit, though this short is more about Rabbit being annoyed at Tigger's surprise bounces than what the situation calls for, be it Pooh being hungry or the weather. It definitely rings more ARISTOCATS and ROBIN HOOD, with its episodic story. It still keeps the charm, but the characters are little less themselves in this one. Still, all three pieces fit together neatly as this little anthology of silly stories in a made-up forest. The release of the film in March 1977 wouldn't be the last of Winnie The Pooh.

The characters appeared in a 1981 educational film called WINNIE THE POOH DISCOVERS THE SEASONS. Disney farmed this one out to Rick Reinert Productions, a house that previously did intros for ABC specials and various other things. Disney must've been very pleased with their work on the educational film, that they tasked them with making the fourth featurette. WINNIE THE POOH AND A DAY FOR EEYORE debuted theatrical in March 1983 with a re-issue of THE SWORD IN THE STONE. "Merry Old England and a Brand New Pooh."

And re-watching that one right after MANY ADVENTURES... It had been a while since I had seen it... It's rather alien in comparison to the Walt Disney Productions-made shorts, and even the stuff that came after. It also features some of the voice cast of the 1981 educational film, such as Hal Smith as Winnie The Pooh. Their depiction of the Hundred Acre Wood is noticeably different, as is the flow of the whole thing. It's got the same slacker sort-of vibe, and the storyline is nice and wholesome, but the feel of it is just kinda off in a way. I even found some of the character interactions to be a bit more Saturday morning cartoon than the classic Winnie The Pooh shorts. Like Rabbit and Tigger quarreling. There's also a rather hyperdramatic scene involving... A balloon popping... That goes off like a bomb for some reason, and then an abrupt fade to black.

DAY FOR EEYORE and the seasons short kinda form up this weird transitional period for Disney's Winnie The Pooh, because some five years after DAY FOR EEYORE debuted, NEW ADVENTURES began airing. And that's when the new voice cast, notably Jim Cummings as both Pooh and sometimes Tigger, was becoming established as well. NEW ADVENTURES pretty much informs the franchise going forward, but DISCOVERS THE SEASONS and DAY FOR EEYORE are like the bridge between the two periods. Walt/Nine Old Men's Winnie The Pooh, and Disney's Winnie The Pooh. They kind of remind me of the didactic films that featured Donald Duck, Goofy, and Jiminy Cricket that were made after Disney gave up on doing 6-7min shorts in the early '60s, well before they revisited that format - for a mainstream release - for the Roger Rabbit short TUMMY TROUBLE in 1989. Stuff that either got sent to schools or were part of Disney's anthology TV program. Things like the Mickey Mouse 40th anniversary special, DONALD'S FIRE SURVIVAL PLAN, and I'M NO FOOL... And seeing the characters in an art style, with a completely different tone, and animation of that budget/caliber, it's fascinatingly weird in a way.

... all at a time when Disney was keeping the costs low on animation production and only making features and the occasional special project on the side.

It was to the point where they got someone else, again - Rick Reinert Productions, to do a Winnie The Pooh short. I guess they only had the money for MICKEY'S CHRISTMAS CAROL, THE BLACK CAULDRON, and BASIL OF BAKER STREET.
