#Stan Woozle (Winnie the Pooh)

[terrible-twst-oc-ideas]

Stan Woozle and Heff Heffalump from The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1988)

They're Heffalump and Woozle, They're easily, confuseled, For they are not so very smart or sly (sly, sly, sly!) These thieves come one by twoosels, But soon they're baboozels, And then all of their problems multiply, (ply, ply, ply!)

You know what, that’s not a bad idea. Christopher Robin has befriended these literal nature spirits/cryptids in a post-apocalyptic world where nature has regrown over a neighborhood, which is why there seems to be no adults around but there is evidence enough of human interference (Piglet’s “Trespassers will” sign, most of the buildings being clearly built by humans and I don’t think Christopher could have done all of that).

It’s a wonderful little neighborhood. Any trouble is low-stakes and often resolved. Pooh’s quest for honey and his grumpiness with the bees are practically a weekly routine by now, but there’s no real hatred there.

All the calm is broken by Tigger’s arrival with news of Heffalumps and Woozles - dangerous and malevolent creatures!

Perhaps some Heffalumps are kind and much hostility is merely a result of misunderstanding (hello, Pooh Heffalump Movie!) but some of them are troublesome (looking at you, Heff Heffalump and Stan Woozle). This, combined with the animals fears of Christopher Robin soon leaving for a local school which they misunderstand to mean “skull” (Winnie-the-Pooh and The Search for Christopher Robin) results in quite some worry in the Hundred-Acre-Wood.

(Pooh vs. Pennywise would be hilarious and Pennywise stands no chance, but cinemas aren’t ready for that. lol.)

Broke: Winnie-the-Pooh adaptations that are slasher/horror

Woke: Winnie-the-Pooh adaptations set as post-apocalyptic/regrown nature

Since I'm going to see Christopher Robin today, I thought I'd draw two of my favorite boys from The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Stan Woozle looking very determined, and Heff Heffalump, looking unsure of what's going on. But that was typically the case with him anyway.

Winnie the Pooh and friends VS Winnie the Pooh antagonists.

We’ve got...Adult Christopher Robin VS Giles Winslow Jr.

Young Christopher Robin VS Crud

Pooh Bear VS The Skullasaurus

Piglet VS Nasty Jack

Tigger VS Bruno the Wind-up Monkey

Rabbit VS The Counterfeit Plush Toys

Eeyore VS The Backson

Kanga VS Papa Heffalump

Owl VS John Foulfellow Sly Fox

Kessie VS Stan Woozle & Heff Heffalump

Gopher VS Beaver (OK, technically not an antagonist, but Gopher’s poor replacement)

and Lumpy VS Darby Maryellen Gomez (What do you mean Darby’s not an antagonist? She was voiced by Chloe Grace Moretz! Her whole thing is playing scary psycho girls!)

Antagonists not pictured: the Bees, the Bugs, the Crows, the Pack Rats, the “Slusher”, the Jagular(s), the Gobloon, the Bull from “The Missing Bullhorn”, and Springs the Bouncing Bot. Also Smudge and Nasty Jack’s horse thief gang, who are mere underlings, not main baddies.

For the role of Stan Woozle, I would pick Tom Kenny, considering he and Rabbit were two characters Ken Sansom did while he was alive.

Looking back on Stan and Heff from "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh", I feel like this evil duo fell into obscurity in recent years. Heck, their original voice talents passed away last decade (Ken Sansom in 2012 and Chuck McCain in 2018). And it got me wondering if they should return in something like "Kingdom Hearts". Only, because fighting is prohibited when visiting the Hundred Acre Wood, it's possible to defeat them in mini-game challenges or something else that doesn't involve violence.
