DefunctTV: The History of Welcome to Pooh Corner

1. A note on calling the costumes creepy: We here at DefunctTV rarely play into the trope that “look your childhood was weird let’s laugh at it.” We understand that a lot of people loved this show and didn’t find it creepy and we tried to respect that as much as possible. That said, with this show specifically, the audience that originally watched it was split between it being creepy and it being great, which put us in a difficult position of trying to put both of those sentiments in the video. It is not us making fun of it just for the sake of making fun. We apologize if it came across this way. Have a great weekend!

2. I Loved this show❤

3. I honestly thought I must have made up that sensitive subject episode, but there it is.
   Clear as day.

4. Just heard about how the guy who did Welcome to Pooh Corner also did Teddy Ruxpin and sadly didn't stay a success.

5. Pooh: when someone gets to close to your private parts say no loud and clear that's being smart
   Me: it wasn't very smart to say that I mean anybody can take that the wrong way especially parents

6. Why don’t they plant anti-molestation messages in kids shows today?

7. Who the fuck told you about the poo corner

   edit: oh nvm

8. I remember watching this when I was home sick with the chicken pox.

9. Good work as always, Kevin and the gang. I think it's fascinating that this is technically the second time Hal Smith had taken on a legacy franchise character with tons of history from a previous voice actor. For a hot minute there he had taken over voicing beloved Looney Tunes straight man Elmer Fudd after the original voice actor, Arthur Q. Bryan, passed away suddenly of a heart attack in 1959.

10. I had forgotten i watched this as a kid

11. 3:40 That's Sora, Donald and Goo- no, wait. Nevermind…

12. They should have used puppets

13. Oh good god this looks so horrifying. Even more so than the upcoming Winnie the Pooh horror film.

14. I remember this show

15. I loved this show so much as a kid. And I still have a deep affection for the Winnie the Pooh characters because of it.

16. The origin of sexual harassment panda

17. Never thought I would get stranger danger lessons from the president of China but here we are!

18. …I remember this really fondly, was it really that terrifying?

19. Winnie the pooh poo!
    Get it?
    Lol 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 😂 😹

20. I see one of the writers had an 'interest' in feederism

21. Me and my siblings loved this show 🤗

22. Man, this was part of my childhood.

23. How dare you say anything negative about this charming and beautiful work of art? This is far superior to the vulgar, loud and disrespectful programming children are exposed to now. This show is pure innocence and whimsy

24. I hear you about putting Pooh Corner on Disney+. Disney really should release all of their classic content, even if it would be considered grossly outdated by today's standards. Let the public experience it for itself – even more controversial material, like Song of the South – and let them decide what they think about it.

25. If you have Disney Plus, submit a request for the show. Select profile, then help center, then give feedback. You can request up to 3 shows. Maybe if enough of us request it, they'll make it a priority to put it on.

26. oh my fucking god stranger danger makes children into coward teach them self defense instead what's wrong with u people

27. With so much being lost media, I'll have to go dig out the old VHS tapes. We had a recording of an episode. I'll have to see if I can't find it. I don't remember which one it was, but I do remember having nightmares of that Tigger when I was younger haha

28. Aw, I loved this show when I was little. Never watched the stranger danger episode though. I do remember a lot of books and shows touched on that subject, however. For instance, the Berenstain Bears devoted a book to it. It was par for the course in those days.

29. I don't remember Pooh Corner, but I remember not liking the full body suits at all.

30. was this during the barny era

31. What stuck with me the most is that random headline off to the side during the newspaper footage in the beginning: "How to get yourself (or your kid) a fixed-rate 8 1/2% mortgage."

32. This show is hosted by the members of Welcome to Pooh Corner. Congratulations to Owl, Tigger and Rabbit on teaching adults and children stuff about dealing with strangers.

33. I remember this show when I was a little girl.

34. Disney land of dreams and magic, and traumatizing children since 1929

35. "Mickey was alive, and so was Walt Disney."

36. The music that plays at the beginning sounds like the Whistling Caruso from The Muppets. Doesn’t anyone agree?

37. Tbh, 80%+ molestations happen by family members or close people the child already knows, and that’s something the “Stranger Danger” movement failed to address, so any furthered warning, like “private parts,” as cringy as it may seem, is frankly welcome. More needs to be done.

38. As a very, very small child I loved this show 😁

39. I very very vaguely remember this one. The tiniest bulb went off for it.

40. winnie the pooh was always so dark tbh i dont know why everyone's so surprised it's being turned into horror

41. og blood and honey

42. 4:15 seems like Kanga found out that Hundred-Acre Woods gasoline hits different.
