"Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie" Plot Summary
Roo is extra excited this Halloween, because he gets to teach his new pal, Lumpy, what scary costumes and trick-or-treating are all about. Lumpy is cautiously excited too, until Tigger tells them about the mysterious Gobloon, who will turn anyone it catches into a Jaggedy Lantern. If they could catch the Gobloon, though, they would get to make a wish.
Despite Rabbit’s careful planning, the Hundred Acre Wood friends find themselves short on candy for Halloween night. Roo convinces the timid Lumpy to help him catch the Gobloon, so they can wish for more candy and save Halloween.
After all of Roo's reassurances of being "brave together," Lumpy and Roo become separated from each other, and each friend must decide what to do, alone, on the most frightful night in the Hundred Acre Wood.
