I see this just had a release in the UK. The cover is identical to the US version, but here's what confuses me:
On the US cover is says: Frankenpooh and Spookable Pooh
The UK version says: Spookable Pooh and Boo Who To You Too
Does anyyone know if the content is identical between the two releases?

Hmm...well I was intending to watch this last night, but my rental had a big crack...so that didn't happen. The US disc keeps being renamed...Disney's site currently lists it as Winnie The Pooh: Frightfully Fun Collection
Their description says:
Frankenpooh: The Hundred Acre Wood is alive with excitement when Dr. Von Piglet creates "The Monster Frankenpooh," a giant of a bear on a humongous hunt for honey. Then, all sorts of bumpities and spookables lead Pooh and friends on a wild ghost chase in "Things That Go Piglet In The Night." And, in "Pooh Moon," Pooh and Piglet land on the "honey" moon looking for the sweet, sticky stuff, but everyone thinks they've been nabbed by the "Grabme Gotcha!" Spookable Pooh: In "A Knight To Remember," Pooh and his pals explore Christopher Robin's creaky old attic on a quest for make-believe adventure. When timid little Piglet is "transported" to a magical kingdom, he must don shiny armor and face the "dreadful dragon." Next, in "Rock-A-Bye Pooh Bear," a stormy nightmare proves to be no picnic for Piglet. Now he's afraid to go to sleep, and it's up to Pooh, Rabbit, and Tigger to show their friend that dreary dreams do not come true!
So, I'm not sure where "Boo to you, Pooh" fits in here. I could swear I've heard it's on this release, and in some form...but Disney's site only lists the video and the cover just says "Frankenpooh" and "Spookable Pooh."

Disney Australia has renamed it a few times too...
BVHE lists it as 'Winnie the Pooh: Halloween Double Feature', and retailers here (or at least EzyDVD) list it as 'Winnie The Pooh - Spookable Fun And Boo To You, Too!'. Being Disney Australia, there is no information beyond the fact it is Halloween and stars WTP.
I'm guessing they are all the same thing. How many WTP episodes were based around Halloween anyways?

Just to update, EzyDVD reports that this title has been delayed "by the manufacturer" in Australia.
No word yet on when it will be coming out.

Well, my copy shipped off unexpectedly today from EzyDVD.
So I guess whatever the delay was, it is over...

Just to update - my Aussie copy arrived today and it is "Spookable Pooh and Boo To You Too". The description seems to match the US one as it has the same toons: "The Monster Frankenpooh"; "Things That Go Piglet in the Night" (Who 'ere would like to go Piglet, eh?' Just for shits and giggles...); "A Knight to Remember," "Rock-a-Bye Pooh Bear," etc...
We even have Piglet's Halloween game.
Why the different title, I'm not sure, but I can assure everyone it is the same disc.

Thanks. Now I know I don't need to get the R2/4 disc as well.
