Luvachicken Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I don't have time to watch all of our Disney films of Winnie the Pooh, but wondered if someone knows the quote Piglet says about " being braver than you think" etc, when he is about to start ice skating by himself - I think that's what he does. Or in fact, now I think about it does Pooh say it to Piglet Or is it even Christopher Robin ? Think I've been in too much sun Thanks very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Any recollection I have of Winnie the Pooh, is now through the books of Benjamin Hoff: The Tao of Pooh and the Te of Piglet, in which reference to the Piglet quote on being brave is mentioned. "It is hard to be brave, when you’re only a very small animal." Off the top of me head, I don't know which of the A A Milne stories it is in, but it is very definitely said by Piglet himself. Am not a fan of the Disney Pooh stories... so can't even imagine where that quote might come in their movies/shorts, and it wouldn't surprise me if they (Disney) changes who said it, for the purposes of a more endearing story telling. [edit] Couldn't resist... I had to check. It's in the first Milne book Winnie the Pooh (1926) and the chapter is 7: In Which Kanga and Baby Roo Come to the Forest and Piglet has a Bath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 That's not the quote I was thinking Stu but I love it anyway, thank you I'm trying to think of something nice to put in a goodbye card. I'm not sure I'll use the quote but it's bugging me not being able to remember what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Found it Braver than you believe, Stronger than you seem And smarter than you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Well am gutted now. I can;t find the quote at all, but if you don;t want to sit through many hours of Winnie the Pooh DVD's..? It's: The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh: Luck Amok/Magic Earmuffs Season one, episode 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Sorry, but that's a Disney quote not a Winnie the Pooh quote! I know it comes from the film but A A Milne would never have written that. Afraid I love the books and loathe the films, although I accept that they are loved by many people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 It is very similar to the AA Milne quote though “If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together... there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you.” ― A.A. Milne And this one “Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” ― A.A. Milne https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/81466.A_A_Milne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Oops - I stand corrected, I'm afraid I've always believed it was a Disney quote! I'll have to dig out my copies of Christopher Robin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrisonFamily Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I love the original Winnie the Pooh and have also enjoyed the disney....but my favourite disney has to be when tigger loses his stripes -I only ever saw it once and think it was at the end of another pooh film but it was so good and made me cry .......

Luvachicken Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 I think my favourite Pooh film is where he floats up on a balloon to steal the honey from inside a tree and a bee gets bumped into the mud making the bee angry. The bee then buzzes really fast to sting Pooh on the bottom and then it sits on a twig laughing it's head off. Just something about that laugh brings a big smile to my face.

patsylabrador Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 You've got me reading A.A.Milne quotes quite obsessively now. He's brilliant, forget all those gurus and therapists- read Winnie the Pooh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 That's what I like about this forum - who would have thought we'd be discussing Winnie the Pooh My brother had Disney sound track when we were growing up and we listened to it a lot. I can still quote a lot of it now In our house there is a very often used expression 'I wasn't eating it, I was just tasting it' This is obviously because we are such greedy piggies I also find this pops into my head a lot 'The wonderful thing about Tiggers is that Tiggers are wonderful things'. I find it both funny (he is sooooo appealing!) and uplifting. And I often think about poor Eyeore and his sad ears I have obviously been Disneyed Oh and I nearly forgot. OH is extra fond of the EH Shepherd book illustrations and when we first met I used to buy him quite a lot of framed postcards of them, Piglet especially. I'm now thinking perhaps I need therapy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Yes you and the rest of them With my kids we used to chant ' yesterday is history, tomorrow's a mystery and today's a gift which is why we call it the present' Which is probably misquoted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 For those, like me, that prefer the original (AA Milne/EH Shepard) Winnie-the-Pooh, thought you might like this. It's a pic of CR and the real WTP Didn't EH Shepard do a great job of turning them into sketches?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 You've got me reading A.A.Milne quotes quite obsessively now. He's brilliant, forget all those gurus and therapists- read Winnie the Pooh. A few years ago, my OH was doing some stained glass work for a client who had written a book along this very theme. He came home with a signed copy for me I've just had a look and found it on Amazon... http://www.amazon.co.uk/POOH-AND-PHILOSOPHERS-Wisdom-Pooh/dp/0413700003/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1406051213&sr=8-2&keywords=pooh+%26+the+philosophers (sorry- hopeless with the linky things!)

bluekarin Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 My kids loved the Disney films when they were little. We still say Skull for school, especially when it's a Sunday night and it's Skull the next day I always had a soft spot for Eeorye (sorry, can't remember how on earth to spell his name!)

keyhole kate Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 When I first saw the title subject line being omlet which for me equates to any animal related subjects I thought it was in reference to a monetary quote for a pig related product and even though I don't know a thing about pigs I just had to have a nosey I now I realise I know nothing about winnie the pooh as not one of my kids were really interested in him My only winnie the pooh memory was of my two DDs crying because we wouldn't call there new baby brother Christopher Robin instead of Christopher Dennis lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
