When they make a break for it, they meet up with Crud and what was once his minions have teamed up with Christopher Robin to clean up the crud. After the adventure, Christopher Robin promises to always clean up his room. Then his mother is proud of him that his room looks clean as a whistle, then she was about to put on sock under the bed, but Christopher reminds her that it needs to go into the laundry basket, his mom wonders if Christopher can go outside and play, but Christopher reminds her that he has to take a bath first.
Cast Uncredited Songs Trivia The title is based on the catchphrase: "Cleanliness is next to godliness."
In the opening scene, Christopher Robin, Pooh, Piglet and Tigger have a fantasy sequence in which they are being chased by a tornado (later revealed to be a fan). The backgrounds are painted to look like the sepia-toned Kansas from the 1939 classic The Wizard of Oz During the song "Under the Bed " at the beginning of the episode, the Pixar Ball makes a cameo.
The song itself is also credited in the closing credits.
