Plot

Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, and Rabbit are working on a plan to get honey from a beehive by tricking the bees into leaving their hive. Piglet offers to help, but is rejected due to his smallness. The plan goes awry when the bees see through the plan, but Piglet manages to divert the bees into a new hive and trap them. Unfortunately, Piglet's friends take all the credit for themselves when they fail to notice his heroism, making him leave dejectedly. After the bees break free, Pooh, Rabbit, Tigger, and Eeyore escape to Piglet's house, where they notice that Piglet is missing and decide to find him. Using Piglet's scrapbook as a guide, the four use the pictures to tell the stories depicted therein, leading to several flashbacks.
