Winnie the Pooh: Springtime with Roo

One Day An overexcited Roo, along with Pooh, Piglet, Tigger and Eeyore, pay Rabbit a visit to celebrate Easter. But instead of finding an Easter party, they find a Spring Cleaning Day celebration led by Rabbit who makes up the holiday to replace Easter. While Rabbit tends his garden by doing things his way, the gang cleans up his house, and Pooh sneezes and trashes the house. Then Roo finds all their Easter eggs and decorations stored away in Rabbit's closet, and throws a surprise Easter party for Rabbit. Unfortunately, he is enraged at them for not doing his "Spring Cleaning Day", and doing exactly what Rabbit told them to do, and literally throws them out of his house. The gang began to have a feeling that Rabbit does not want to celebrate Easter at all, which makes Roo sad that Rabbit is unhappy, and Tigger wants Roo to have a happy Easter, so Tigger tries to talk to Rabbit while Roo and the others try to make an Easter celebration of their own in their hopes of cheering up Rabbit.

In order to convince Rabbit that he still misses Easter and how he used to like it to which he does not believe from hating it so much, Tigger and the Narrator take Rabbit out of the storybook and back in time (specifically, a few chapters of the book, which is hundreds of pages away) to last year's Easter celebration. Rabbit, as the Easter Bunny, tried to make everything as organized, orderly, and perfect as possible his way, treating Easter like a professional occasion rather than a great holiday. Tigger and the others wanted to have a fun and unique way of celebrating with making and hunting the eggs, but Rabbit was actually shown to be very over-protective on his views of the holiday, claiming, "It isn't fun; it's Easter!" So Tigger and the others swiped all the Easter eggs behind Rabbit's back when he was saying that since he is the Easter Bunny, he makes the rules, and finds them hunting the eggs and celebrating Easter without him. Everyone is more happy with Tigger being the "Easter Bunny" instead of Rabbit. Feeling left out of the fun and disappointed that he isn't the one getting this kind of honor from his friends, it was then he decided to stop the Hundred Acre Wood from having another Easter celebration again. Rabbit then finds out that Tigger was right about him liking Easter in his past, but instead of agreeing to allow the holiday back, Rabbit sadly tells Tigger he wants to be left alone, still upset about his past, and accusing Tigger of stealing his role as the Easter Bunny.

The present Tigger sadly returns to tell Roo and the others that Easter is still banned while Rabbit returns home in the book. Although Tigger feels that he had let Roo down, the only thing Roo wants is for Rabbit to be happy again, so he and the others try to come up with a plan to do so. Meanwhile, the narrator purposely takes Rabbit to Roo's house instead of his own to show him how much Roo and the others still care about him, and how he should do the same thing, but Rabbit remains stubborn, angry and unconvinced. He even puts away Piglet's pink Easter basket, Pooh's special honey pot, Eeyore's fluffy bunny ears, and Tigger's striped Easter egg in the chest saying, "If they just listen, if they follow orders, do as I say, but no no." So late that night, the narrator takes Rabbit into the "pages that not have yet been written", or into the future of the Hundred Acre Wood. It is Spring Cleaning Day, and all the supplies and chores are organized exactly as Rabbit wanted, which makes him very happy. But when he asks the narrator where everyone is, thinking that their late as usual, the narrator tells him that they're not late but gone, because they moved away from the Hundred Acre Wood. He tries to find them, but sees that all their houses are empty.

But When he was at Tigger's house, Rabbit finds Roo's drawing of him and Roo, and rushes to Kanga and Roo's house, which was also empty. So confused Rabbit says, "Roo was so looking forward to..," and the narrator asks, "Spring Cleaning Day was it?" But Rabbit says no because it was Easter, regretting what he done, he asks where his friends are. But the narrator laughs at the word 'Friends' and says that Rabbit certainly didn't treat them like friends, and shows him the way he was acting, and tells that he never thought about what the others wanted and was only thinking of himself. Rabbit finally realizes that he was wrong to try to control something that everyone shares and loves, and decides to change the future by changing his attitude to everyone else. But however, he learns that the Easter supplies were taken with his friends when they moved and he finds out that he is already too late. But until next morning he wakes up on Easter day finding out he still has a chance to change the future when he sees the supplies is back in the box.

At the same time, Roo and the others come up with another idea in hopes of cheering Rabbit up, and while they are busy working, Rabbit, feeling as "giddy as a jackrabbit", brings out all the Easter decorations and starts happily preparing a big surprise for his friends. The story ends with the annual Easter celebration proceeding as planned in a remarkable place called the hundred acre wood.
