Ah yes love in the air. (Ahh get it out of here, sprays the air) That means it's time to look at a Valentine's Day special. So we go to the tried and true, silly ole beer, Winnie the Pooh. This special is called "A Valentine for You" it first came out in 1999 on the ABC network ( A Bear Channel) and ran for a few years in rerun , but ABC stopped running it after awhile. It is on DVD though , so that's something! Let's get started.
Winnie the Pooh (we are just going to call him Pooh after this because we don't have patience to keep writing that out.) is looking for Christopher Robin , but can't seem to find him. So he goes to piglet to see if he knows. Piglet tires to hide something he was doing. (His taxes, the I.R.S is very mean to piglets ) He was making a Valentine card for Pooh, and Pooh finds out that Valentine's Day is the next day and he remarks that maybe Christopher Robin is doing -making Valentine's Cards.

Pooh, Piglet, Rabit, Tigger and the others are peeking at Christopher Robin (found him!) as he is writing to someone named Winifred. (People need to name their kids Winifred again, that would be fun) They aren't sure who that is. (In their defense they know like one human) So, they go ask the wisest animal they know, (Who?) Owl. He says Winifred is a girl. (well thanks Owl, glad we got that figured out) This allows Owl to sing a song where he says Girls are like boys, but aren't. (Most random song ever) Owl then explains that C.R is in love. Because Owl said that Christopher Robin was bitten by the love bug and then flies away ; the others think that this means that C.R has been bitten by an actual bug. Rabbit says that he knows love sickness is very contagious. (Yes it is!) So their plan is to get another bug to un smite him. (he was smited?)

So they go looking for a smitten. Inside of Pooh's honey pot , a glowing bug happens to end up in there and the crew thinks it's a smitten. It flies into the forest and so they go searching for it. (as you do) After a long search they still don't find it. (For a glowing bug , it sure hid well) Another song starts it's about what happens when you bitten by a Smitten. The glowing bug shows up and they chase after it. Eventually, Pooh catches it but he gets separated from the others.

The others are scared and confused in the forest where they end up unintentionally scaring each other. Pooh lets the bug of the car and it lights a way and Pooh follows it and everyone ends up back together. (awww) The light bug goes back in the jar and they go to Christopher Robin to help him. Christopher wants to show them his card to his "new friend" and wants to know what they think of it. Pooh decides to let the bug go because "Christopher Robin is happy as he is".
The next day, the creatures of the 100 Acre Wood all get a valentine. Pooh goes to Christopher Robin and thanks him for the card, but Pooh is puzzled because he thought that C.R got a new friend. Then we get another song, song by Christopher Robin. Called Places in the heart. Christopher says to Pooh that he cares about Pooh just as much always . The special continues with song (which great makes me want to tear up)

That's the special.
Our Review: It's a sweet special like most of the Winnie the Pooh stuff is and has a core message though it's revealed to the be message near the end of how you can more friends yet still have your current friends. It has its funny moments along with it's sweet -sappy moments. It's nice not over the top Valentine day special , and do recommend it to be watched. (It's on DVD ;there's even A DVD set with two specials for Winnie the Pooh Valentine specials).
Tune in next time when I found out the cure of being bitten by a love bug. darn car.
