'''''Springtime with Roo''''' (also known as '''''Winnie the Pooh: Springtime with Roo''''') is a 2004 American animated [[direct-to-video]] [[Easter]] [[Musical film|musical]] [[fantasy]] [[Adventure film|adventure]] [[comedy-drama film]] produced for [[Walt Disney Pictures]] by [[Disneytoon Studios]], and animated by [[Toon City Animation]] in [[Manila|Manila, Philippines]].

The film features the characters from [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]]'s ''[[Winnie the Pooh (franchise)|Winnie the Pooh]]'' franchise, based on the original characters from the books by [[A. A. Milne]] and [[E. H. Shepard]]. The story is loosely based on [[Charles Dickens]]' 1843 novella ''[[A Christmas Carol]]''.

Line 45:

Seeing Roo saddened over the events, Tigger returns to Rabbit's house to try reasoning with him. When Rabbit denies ever liking Easter, Tigger and the Narrator take Rabbit back through the book to last Easter's celebration, which was sometime after [[Kanga (Winnie-the-Pooh)|Kanga]] and Roo had moved to the Hundred Acre Wood. During that time, Rabbit insisted on having an organized Easter party, treating it more like a professional occasion rather than a fun holiday; this controlling behavior annoyed everyone to the point that Tigger led the group into sneaking away to celebrate Easter without Rabbit, leaving the latter feeling left out. Realizing how his actions upset Rabbit, Tigger tries to apologize for his unintentional negligence, but Rabbit, still upset about the past, refuses to forgive his friends.

Back in the present, Tigger informs his friends of the reason for Rabbit's unhappiness, prompting them to think of a way to make it up to him. Meanwhile, Rabbit also returns to the present, but the Narrator purposefully stops on the wrong page, where Rabbit finds Kanga and Roo's house and overhears Roo stating his wish to cheer Rabbit up. When this fails to convince Rabbit, the Narrator (whom wakes him up with a spooky voice) transports him to the unwritten pages of the book (the future of the Hundred Acre Wood), where Rabbit discovers that while his Spring Cleaning Day celebration has been perfectly organized as planned, everyone in the wood has moved away due to his bossy behavior, much to his horror as he discovers his friends' houses are empty and abandon.

When this fails to convince Rabbit, the Narrator (whom wakes him up with a spooky voice) transports him to the unwritten pages of the book (the future of the Hundred Acre Wood), where Rabbit discovers that while his Spring Cleaning Day celebration has been perfectly organized as planned, everyone in the wood has moved away due to his bossy behavior, much to his horror as he discovers his friends' houses are empty and abandon.

Rabbit soon wakes up the next morning to realize that the events were just a dream and that he still has a chance to change the future. Meanwhile, Roo, unaware of Rabbit's change of heart, rallies Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and Eeyore to surprise Rabbit with a new party, when Rabbit arrives at Roo's house to reveal that he has prepared a bigger and better Easter celebration, thrilling everyone as they all participate in the festivities.
