Roo is a very sweet and cheerful character, and Rabbit was a big crab this time, resentful that last year (Roo's first Easter) the gang didn't wait and follow his instructions for preparing Easter festivities the right way. The gang takes him back to that page in the storybook, and the narrator takes him to a possible future page, where the gang all moved away, so Rabbit reforms and they have the Easter egg hunt a day late.  When Rabbit reforms, Tigger asks "what the Dickens is going on, and I do mean Dickens", because this was patterned after A Christmas Carol.

Shrug-worthy.

Rated 6.5 (1,424)
