A very kind neighbor was cleaning out their child’s DVD
collection. Our son, Nate, was to be the
beneficiary of this cleaning. One of the
titles, Pooh’s Heffalump Movie, fast became
one of Nate’s favorite movies. The plot
of the film is simple. The inhabitants
of the Hundred Acre Wood wake up one fine morning to the earth shaking and loud
elephant like trumpet blasts. Pooh,
Tigger, Rabbit, and the rest gather to see just what transpired in the
night. They soon come across large round
footprints. The conclusion is reached that a large Heffalump has invaded the
Hundred Acre Wood. No one, however, has
ever seen a Heffalump. In true Disney
fashion, the cast of characters soon erupt into song about the various
nefarious traits of this mysterious animal.
The Heffalump is an evil creature to be sure. It is soon determined that an expedition must
be made to find and capture this threat to the peace and tranquility of the
Hundred Acre Wood.
