PlotIn the Hundred Acre Wood, young Roo excitedly looks forward to Easter. He anticipates a festive time full of fun and Easter egg hunts with his friends. However, when the day arrives, they find that Rabbit has canceled Easter and replaced it with Spring Cleaning Day instead. Saddened by the sudden change, Roo and his friends Pooh, Piglet, and Tigger try to reason with Rabbit. Despite their efforts, Rabbit remains adamant about focusing on chores rather than celebrations. He insists that preparing for spring is more important than hunting for eggs.
Unwilling to give up on their Easter joy, Roo and his friends embark on a quest to understand why Rabbit has lost his holiday spirit. Through a series of heartwarming moments and humorous mishaps, they soon uncover some past memories that reveal the source of Rabbit's change of heart. As they explore these memories, each friend learns valuable lessons about the importance of joy, tradition, and understanding. The friends rally together in hopes of reigniting Rabbit's lost passion for Easter, aiming to bring back the cheerful celebrations they all cherish so much.

Excellent AV presentation can't save 'Springtime with Roo' from being a bland, unremarkable 65-minute film; mostly suitable for young children and Pooh die-hards.
