The events of the film directly parallel those of the classic Charles Dickens novel "A Christmas Carol." Tigger shows Rabbit events from the past, then the narrator (voiced by the late David Ogden Stiers) has him listen in on another character in a present, then shows him a dismal future, leading Rabbit to realize that he can change. Later, Rabbit references lines from the novel by stating "I'm as jumpy as a jackrabbit! I'm as giddy as a schoolbunny!"
This is the first full length Winnie the Pooh movie without Christopher Robin or Owl.
Jeff Bennett provides the singing voice of Piglet in the song "Easter Day with You" even though Fielder provided Piglet's singing voice in the rest of the soundtrack.
This is the only direct-to-video Winnie the Pooh film that includes the live-action story book.
The second Winnie The Pooh direct-to-video film that doesn't include archive footage from previous Winnie The Pooh episodes/TV specials until Tigger and Pooh: Super Sleuth Christmas Movie (2007) from the series, My Friends Tigger and Pooh.
