It is often difficult to decipher what Eeyore can go through and what he cannot, especially on the hazard-filled difficult setting. There are a few issues with how this game is implemented. 'Hillside Party Hop' on the other hand is great fun with a friend (right). The choice is displayed at the bottom of the screen but you only have a short time to choose as if the camera catches up to him, it's back to the start. Playing in a similar fashion to Pipe Dream, you do this by placing differently shaped pieces of wood to build a makeshift bridge. In his search for a new home for Owl, the depressed donkey wants to cross a recently formed swamp lake. Things get mighty more difficult when the rain comes and it's Eeyore's turn to host a game. You can also create your own Frankenstein Woozle without the puzzle element, which can lead to some funny designs as the pieces sit marching in the middle of the screen. Well, difficult for a five-year-old that is. This would be simple enough were it not for the fact that the body parts float around the screen making them difficult to catch. Taking place in the bear's nightmares, a floating Tigger head guides you to match the monster Pooh is dreaming about. Next, we take a dive into Pooh's subconscious with a matching game called 'Heffalumps & Woozles'. Where he conjures up his own 'Heffalumps & Woozles' Highlighting them won't change your cursor, so make sure you click on them before you finish or you might disappoint Pooh with a big fat zero! In order to make it a minigame to sit alongside the rest of the game, the idea is to find 8 bees positioned within the pages. The high-quality animations are still present along with read-a-long text but there are some differences.

Not as much as if it were part of that series but enough to make me think it was perhaps originally commisioned to be as one. After the previous year's Tigger Too, The Blustery Day storyline is finally presented in an interactive storybook form, with a fair amount of things to click on. Released in 2000, the contents of the game, however, actually completes the Animated Storybook trilogy. Two of the three shorts that made up the 1977 feature film had already been adapted into Animated Storybooks, saving Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day for the bear's sole Activity Centre outing. Winnie the Pooh has been a staple in Disney's edutainment lineup.
