At the film's conclusion, Pooh and Christopher Robin return to their favorite spot, where Christopher Robin explains what he learned at school, and comments that he learned he could be brave, strong, and smart when he gave his heart to it. He then sadly says that tomorrow he'll be going again, but reassures Pooh that he'll always be back, as long as Pooh's here:

*[[Brady Bluhm]] as [[Christopher Robin]]

==Trivia==
* This movie marks the last time [[Paul Winchell]] voiced the character of Tigger. Winchell, who had voiced Tigger in the original theatrical shorts, reprised his role on [[The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh]] until 1989, to be replaced by [[Jim Cummings]] in 1990. After this movie, Cummings would become Tigger's main voice actor.
*The final lines in the film with Christopher Robin and Pooh on the tree are recycled from ''[[The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh]]'' and the book the quotes originally came from, ''[[The House at Pooh Corner]]''.
*The plot of the film is similar to that of [[the Hobbit]], with the main character, joined by his friends, setting out on a hazardous and lengthy mission on foot to accomplish something vital, also much of The Great Unknown (Winnie The Pooh) ( the woods where the whole story takes place, where Skull, The Upside Down Rock, and all the other horror things are located) resembles The Edge Over The Wild, Goblin Caves, [[Smaug]]'s cave, the trolls cave, [[Mirkwood]] and even [[Mordor]], and other dreaded or forbidden locations in the book.
*At one point in the beginning of the movie, Pooh looks out his window and says "It's the first day of Autumn!" During the special ''Winnie the Pooh: Seasons of giving'', the same clip was shown after the episode "Groundpiglet Day" because the next episode was ''A Winnie the Pooh thanksgiving''.

***Side Note: While In the movie, The Great Unknown is just a legend, and all the horrors and monsters and weirdness and power, that inhabit the Dark area were just the characters' imagination, In [[Kingdom Hearts (series)]], In the Hundred Acre Woods World where [[The Great Unknown (Winnie The Pooh)]] is also a world and based much on the movie, in the game, all the horrors, powers, mysteries, and monsters of this terrible place are real, and are threats to Sora, and the rest of the gang (Like In The Movie), also some new things are added to this place, like that the unknown is filled with [[Heartless]], [[Nobodies]],[[Strange Mists]] and even [[Great Unknown Bees (Winnie the Pooh)|monster killer bees]], it is the only part of the game in the [[Hundred Acre Wood]] that has Heartless, Nobodies, and other dark stuff from the game. There's also a new site revealed to be located in The Great Unknown, The [[Crystal Caves]].
*The plot for the film is used briefly at the end of the Hundred Acre Wood world in the Disney and [[Square Enix]] video game, [[Kingdom Hearts II]]. In this part of the game, Pooh loses his memory of [[Characters_of_Kingdom_Hearts#Sora|Sora]] (The games main protagonist, who replaces Christopher Robin in this universe) and his friends in the book. After eventually regaining his memory of everyone (Except Sora) throughout the game, Pooh has a small recollection of when Sora says goodbye to Pooh and friends in the first game. Not realizing that Sora and the boy in his memory is the same person, Pooh sets out on a journey to find this "Boy". In an area that may be The Great Unknown, Pooh gets himself lost in the crystal caves (Which very closely resemble the caves of "Skull"), but is eventually rescued by Sora and the others. It is in this scene where Pooh finally regains his memory of Sora.

==Criticism==
When it was released, analysts and parents criticized the film, claiming that the mild horror content (such as the long fall into the muddy marsh, the biting plants in the forest of thorns, the monsters in the map/quest scene, and the spills and chills in the skull cave) was not suitable for young children.
