go to bed, but Tigger walks sadly away from the bridge, because he did not win at all. Eeyore shares his secret for winning, which is to "let his stick drop in a twitchy sort of way." They then both go home and Christopher Robin, Pooh and Piglet all decide that "Tigger's all right, really" and "everyone's all right, really". Voice cast Ralph Wright as Eeyore Hal Smith as Winnie the Pooh and Owl Laurie Main as Mr. Narrator Will Ryan as Rabbit Dick Billingsley as Roo John Fiedler as Piglet Kim Christianson as Christopher Robin Julie McWhirter Dees as Kanga Paul Winchell as Tigger Only Hal Smith, Ralph Wright, John Fiedler, and Paul Winchell returned in the roles they had originated. Hal Smith additionally replaced Sterling Holloway as Pooh. Kim Christianson became the fourth actor to portray Christopher Robin in as many featurettes, after Bruce Reitherman, Jon Walmsley, and Timothy Turner. Dick Billingsley assumed the role of Roo, succeeding Dori Whitaker and Clint Howard. Julie McWhirter Dees replaced the late Barbara Luddy as Kanga. Some later rereleases of this movie feature a cast list which differs from the original (Jim Cummings as Pooh, Ken Sansom as Rabbit, Tress MacNeille as Kanga, Trevyn Savage as Christopher Robin and Aaron Spann as Roo, respectively). However, if there is a version of this movie which features this more contemporary cast, it has yet to be released to the public, as the version featuring these credits uses the same audio track from the original release. Home media The first home video release for Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore was Winnie the Pooh and Friends, released on VHS in 1984, followed by other releases of this film, including the 1989 Walt Disney Mini-Classics release and the 1994 Storybook Classics release.
