Piglet's Big Movie (2003)
A tale you'll never forget.
When the gang from the Hundred Acre Wood begin a honey harvest, young Piglet is excluded and told that he is too small to help. Feeling inferior, Piglet disappears and his pals Eeyore, Rabbit, Tigger, Roo and Winnie the Pooh must use Piglet's scrapbook as a map to find him. In the process they discover that this very small animal has been a big hero in a lot of ways.
In Piglet's Big Movie, consciousness is carried by animals — a plane of “anthropomorphic forest”. The story fights on E8/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing prejudice, belonging, heroism, friendship, identity.
