Heff-A Nice Day and Enjoy These Fun Facts
Originally slated as Direct-To-Video, this feature was upgraded to theatrical release.
This is the last time Nikita Hopkins voices Roo, since he went through puberty later the same year this film released.
At 68 minutes this is the shortest feature length Winnie the Pooh film to be released in theaters until the next film Winnie the Pooh (2011) which ran at 63 minutes.
Owl and Christopher Robin don't appear in this film, except the latter only makes a very brief appearance during the first part of the end credits.
Due to the presence of Lumpy's mother, this is the first Winnie the Pooh film to have a female character other than Kanga.
The entire Winnie the Pooh catalog including the Heffalump film is available on Disney+
