Outside of the Sorcerer’s Apprentice sequence, however, Fantasia 2000 has all-new segments, which we can connect to those in Fantasia, though only with implicit connections posited by the filmmakers. Winnie the Pooh, of course, brings back all the characters in the cherished and beloved Hundred Acre Wood. Milne’s naturally episodic storytelling and writing style, the film feels less like a follow-up than a simple check-in on these adorable stuffed animals. 4.18, “American Gothic”: Elijah reenters the fray in underwhelming episode If The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh tells stories that comprise three chapters of a novel, Winnie the Pooh tells another chapter or two of the same book. The Rescuers Down Under, though, is a straight sequel, as direct as they get. As in the first film, we follow a pair of heroic mice from the world-renowned (on a miniature level) Rescue Aid Society as they attempt to save a child who’s been kidnapped by a loathsome villain accompanied by an equally foul animal sidekick. The locale, as evidenced by the title, is new as is the child in danger. However, many of the beats from the original film are repeated here, down to the overly chatty albatross who flies them from New York City to the destination of the rescue.
Oh, sure, Orville’s not around anymore, due to the passing of Jim Jordan, who voiced that character.
