The Stinger: During the end credits, an old-fashioned film plays showing the Winslow employees ( and Christopher's neighbor) on a beach and singing about doing nothing. The last scene also features Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and Eeyore sitting in beach chairs and wearing sunglasses, and Richard Sherman as a singing piano player.
The Spectator (22 August 1958). "The Conservatives are not going to leap into the heffalump-trap in which their opponents... reside". Cited in the Oxford English Dictionary. Eeyore gets in on the game, too, mistaking Christopher introducing "Evelyn, my wife" as not a description, but as part of her name, "Evelyn Mywife". Downer Beginning: While the opening has the whimsy and fun wordplay of the classic stories as Pooh and friends throw Christopher Robin a party, it's a goodbye party as he's being shipped off to boarding school. It only goes downhill from there, as we see over the credits how he grows up — he's abused at a Boarding School of Horrors, he learns of his father's death while there, and is eventually shipped to the front lines of World War II. The only bright spot is him meeting Evelyn (and even that has a sour point to it, as they conceive Madeline only for Christopher to be drafted and sent to war, missing her entire infancy and much of her life as a toddler). A Heffalump is a type of elephant-like character in the Winnie-the-Pooh stories by A. A. Milne. Heffalumps are mentioned, and only appear, in Pooh and Piglet's dreams in Winnie-the-Pooh (1926), and seen again in The House at Pooh Corner (1928). Physically, they resemble elephants; E. H. Shepard's illustration shows an Indian elephant. They are later featured in the animated television series The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1988–1991), followed by two animated films in 2005, Pooh's Heffalump Movie and Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie. The Swedish newspaper Expressen 's Heffalump Award is an annual literary prize awarded to the year's best Swedish author for children and young adults.

Rabbit and Roo are particularly notable, since the former is usually a part of the main cast of Pooh media (though he has been the most likely of the core five to get shafted or left out), and the latter enjoyed a large amount of spotlight in the 2000’s. Kanga in particular only gets a small handful of lines. In this film's continuity, the Hundred Acre Wood is confirmed to be a real, magical place that Christopher Robin enters through a tree outside his childhood home, Narnia style, and its residents are living sapient beings that can enter the real world and interact with other people. This isn't fully established until the toys meet Madeline and cause unintentional chaos throughout London, as in every scene before, it could be rationalized as Christopher Robin's imagination or something real only he could see.
The term "heffalump trap" has been used in political journalism for a trap that is set up to catch an opponent but ends up trapping the person who set the trap (as happens to Winnie the Pooh in The House at Pooh Corner).

The film boasts an All-Star Cast, replacing the usual voices of Christopher Robin's childhood friends with the notable exceptions of Jim Cummings and Brad Garrett note who voiced Eeyore just once before in one of the CD-ROM games of the 90s as Pooh, Tigger and Eeyore with some of the UK's most talented actors. The Tigger Movie: " Someone Like Me" • " Whoop-de-Dooper Bounce" • " Lull-a-Bee" • " Round My Family Tree" • " How to Be a Tigger" • " Your Heart Will Lead You Home" Busby Berkeley Number: "Busy Doing Nothing", which appears halfway through the end credits, featuring home movie-style footage of the Winslow employees vacationing at the beach and dancing, with Richard Sherman playing the piano. Watching the Sunset: Christopher and Pooh do this three times throughout the film in their usual special spot. War Is Hell: Christopher Robin's time during World War II is an unpleasant experience. Being away from his family (and the birth of his daughter) for three years is bad enough, but Christopher's last remaining innocence is robbed by the constant barrage of gunfire, screams, explosions and dying men in the cold winter.
Beauty and the Beast: Belle • Beast • Lumiere • Cogsworth • Mrs. Potts • Chip • Maurice • Philippe • Gaston • LeFou The 2018 Cosmo Sheldrake song "Come Along" featured in an ad for the iPhone XR, contains the line "Come along, catch a Heffalump". Welcome to Pooh Corner • The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh • The Book of Pooh • My Friends Tigger & PoohThe growing difference in maturity and intellect has taken its toll between Pooh and Christopher Robin, with the latter frequently getting frustrated with the former's childishness. It soon becomes clear he loves his silly old bear as much as before, though.
Disappeared Dad: Christopher Robin's father died when his son was at boarding school, forcing young Christopher to become the man of the house at a very young age. Christopher Robin himself is a downplayed example, he was off at war when his daughter Madeline was born and didn’t meet her until she was three years old. In the present day, due to his busy, hectic schedule, Christopher Robin is largely absent from his daughter's life, which is the main conflict of the movie. Cecil asks Christopher Robin if he has time for a game of gin rummy, with Christopher politely declining. Artistic License – Economics: Christopher Robin's solution to the company's money troubles is to lower the prices on their products so more people could afford to buy them. While this isn't entirely unfeasible, the company was looking at cutting twenty percent of its costs, which means their profit margins would have to increase dramatically, and it's dubious if Christopher's plan could do that. Further, it was mentioned earlier that no one is going on vacation because they can't afford to, World War II just happened, and it's not like lowering the price of luggage is going to make a significant impact on the overall costs of planning a holiday. This trope may be considered permissible on account that the reasons for the company's struggles are a secondary plot point at best — the real story of importance is the stress Christopher Robin is under from the job. Something Only They Would Say: Christopher deduces that Madeline is not alone based on the word "expotition" in her note.After Evelyn and Madeline leave for the cottage, Christopher discovers a note she left him, along with a picture he drew as a boy of himself and Pooh. In the second act, he and Evelyn find a note she left saying she's gone to hunt Woozles with the gang from Hundred Acre Woods. Fisher Kingdom: "It's always a sunny day when Christopher Robin comes to play". The Hundred-Acre Wood appears to respond to Christopher's despair, growing dark and foggy, then reflects his reconnection with his childhood, becoming sunny and colorful. Redemption in the Rain: Christopher lightens up noticeably after being caught in a rain storm while trapped in the Heffalump and Woozle Trap (although being bonked on the head by a stone while trying to climb out probably also helped). Once he's floated to the top (in a notably Christ-like pose), he starts to engage more with the Hundred-Acre Wood and its inhabitants rather than just curtly brushing them off. Not Allowed to Grow Up: While Pooh, Tigger, and Eeyore appear to have aged a bit since they last saw Christopher Robin as a child, Piglet and Roo appear to be two of the few residents of the Hundred Acre Woods that still show no signs of aging after all these years. Even more evident for Rabbit and Owl, who are in fact real animals instead of stuffed toys like the others, yet seem the same as ever.
