Just received 2 Magicial World of Winnie the Pooh (MWWTP) DVDs in the post, which was nice after coming home late from uni.

They were:
- Magical World of Winnie the Pooh: Playtime With Pooh
- Magical World of Winnie the Pooh: Great Day of Discovery
Just wanted to post a quick summary of them here for Pooh-o-philes, and for the International Exclusive section. They also come out in the UK on September 29.

These are volumes 3 & 4 as far as I can tell, but there is no marking on the package. They seem to have dropped the Volume numbers on the MWWTP line for R4, for obvious commercial reasons. These volumes follow the format of the first one we got (One for All, and All for One) identically.

Playtime With Pooh runs 59 minutes and contains:
- "April Pooh"
- "The Good, the Bad, and The Tigger" (Parts A & B)
- Edutainment #1 (haven't watched yet, but these normally look like a pop-up book, and follow a format of 'Pooh chooses to keep the honey for himself, everyone is sad. Now look what happens when he shares...' Purely for kids, and people who lack social skills).
- "Bubble Trouble"
"What's The Score"
- Edutainment #2

There is also a Football Playtime with Pooh game.

Image
Great Day of Discovery runs for 70 minutes and contains:
- All's Well The (sic) Ends Wishing Well
- Babysitter Blues
- Edutainment #1
- Party Poohper Part 1 & 2
- Piglet's Poohetry (please make the puns stop! - Loomis)
- Edutainment #2

It also has a Cheer Up Eyeore game, which I haven't played yet.

Both discs are presented in 1.33:1 (being a TV show from the late 80s) and contain (and this is listed as a bonus feature) Trailer - Magical World of Winnie the Pooh Volume 1 & 2. No kidding!
What is even stranger is that we are yet to see "Volume 2" on DVD (it was released on video today, 'Little Things Mean A Lot'). And they are advertised as volumes 1 & 2, despite the numbering being dropped on the R4 volumes. Odd.

Anyways, hope someone finds this helpful. At the very least, something else to add to the International Exclusives for the time being...
