Winnie the Pooh Discovers the Seasons is an educational short film made by the Walt Disney Educational Media Company, released to schools on September 6 , 1981 .
Plot [ ]
Christopher Robin presents Pooh with an interesting new gift—a calendar. Pooh has never seen one before, and Christopher Robin explains that it's a way of keeping track of the days, weeks, months and seasons. The calendar stops at each season, as we watch Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, Rabbit and Owl in the Hundred Acre Wood exploring the world around them and noticing the changes. Among them: the water in the pond becomes hard and slick when it gets cold.

Trivia [ ]
This was the first animated Disney short to use Hanna-Barbera-produced sound effects (aside from some of their late 70s live-action films that used a couple for cheesy humor like Herbie Rides Again ). Since then, they only used the sound effects for their television specials and shows, while they continued to use their classic Jimmy MacDonald cartoon sound effects until The Great Mouse Detective in 1986 for their theatrical shorts and films. This would also be the first Winnie the Pooh project to be outsourced to an animation studio outside of Walt Disney Animation Studios as the animation in this film is noticeably limited.
This short, alongside Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree , are the only two films in the franchise to not feature Tigger .
This is the only film in the media other than Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin that does not feature Kanga , Roo , and Gopher .
While it’s believed to be the first time Owl ’s voice actor Hal Smith provides the voice of Winnie the Pooh , he actually first voiced the titular character in an educational slideshow “Back to School with Winnie the Pooh” in 1979 as well as Tigger and Eeyore.
This is the only project where Ray Erlenborn and Ron Feinberg provide the voices of Rabbit and Eeyore .
Hal Smith and John Fiedler are the only actors to reprise their roles from The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh .
This short has not made any official home media or digital releases as of 2023. However the short can be found unofficially on video sharing sites such as YouTube from old VHS recordings.
