Film Theory: Winnie The Pooh's DEADLY Diet! (The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh)

ah, just what I needed, what about you, poop, poop, maybe you should slow down a little, buddy, who are you okay, are you okay, poop, poop, oh, bother starting CPR, hello internet , welcome to Film Theory, the show that dives headfirst into a vat of theories just to I passed out in a sugar coma with 20 20 keeping me locked inside with a toddler. I've split and torn up a couple of my childhood classics to show him that there's Mickey Mouse and Mulan, but his favorite is the classic 1977 animated

film

Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, it's true that he really only likes to listen to the theme main 30 times in a row and running in counter-clockwise circles, but hey, I was doing it over and over again.

He was theorizing that this movie was a staple. from my childhood and it's been a lot of fun to go back and watch it, but looking at it now through

theory

-addled eyes, I have some questions for old Pooh. There are quite a few Winnie the Pooh theories in the world and I mean. This is profound, I think one of the strangest ones that has gained a lot of traction over the years is that the Internet claims that the characters in the Hundred Acre Wood represent the seven

deadly

sins. The rabbit is angry because he is always angry.

The owl is proud because he is very conceited. and confident all the time, you get the idea of ​​who, of course, is gluttonous, eats honey constantly and is hungry for more, but I'm not interested in the idea of ​​the seven

deadly

sins, I think it's a bit exaggerated, I even have my limits, but I'm interested in Poo's obsession with honey, it's a clear driving force for him throughout these movies, we literally never see him eat anything else, so I wondered if it would be possible for Pooh to survive on honey alone to the end. At first, it was just a little thought experiment.

Honestly, but it ended up here as an episode because there's a lot more than just biology nonsense involved and also this is the only Disney

theory

I've ever made that isn't about the main character being evil or dead or about to. die or be. just kidding we're talking about

winnie

the

pooh

you're here because you like things that are cute and relaxing and make you think think think so today let's think think let's think together and let's start this episode some ground rules for this theory since yes I know , Pooh and his friends are stuffed animals, it actually means that none of the stuffed characters have to eat to survive, but we assume that Pooh will be a real bear because well, that's how he is portrayed in the movies, he's a teddy bear, but he still wanders around the forest eating honey by the bucketful, even in the live-action movie.

Christopher Robin the teddy bear is still trying to consume honey from the very real world, so let's continue with Also, for starters, we need poop to eat honey so we can continue living in the very real imaginary world of our hearts. I think there is a simpler question we need to answer first. Do real bears really eat honey? I'm sure most of you are probably rolling your eyes at this point, of course bears eat matpat honey, but honestly I was a little skeptical. Bees are serious business, and if you're a bear, you're looking for the path of least resistance between you and your dinner.

My guess would be that most bears only get honey from unsuspecting campers who somehow also think honey is a camping necessity. I thought the idea might just be some movie nonsense we've been fed throughout our childhood, but I actually did some research. and it turns out that the idea of ​​bears eating honey is based on a real world fact, according to a national geographic quote, all bears are considered omnivores and yes, they all love the taste of honey. Other sources claim that this is because honey is made up of simple sugars. Glucose and fructose, which mammals can break down quickly for a quick boost of energy, plus the sweet addictive qualities of sugar, keep them coming back for more.

It's basically the bear equivalent of us with candy. You say you'll only come back for a pair. mm before you know it, the entire bag is gone, there is even CCTV footage of bears in China infiltrating a local nature reserve to eat the honey collected from the apiary. Clearly, the bears really want to eat honey, but could they survive? Well, we're not really interested in whether all bears could survive, we're just concerned about one bear in particular. Different bear species have different biological requirements, so to answer this question we really need to find out what type of bear a Pooh Winnie Bear is.

The Pooh was created by A.A Milne in 1926 and was based on his son's teddy bear. His son Christopher Robin Milne named the toy after a popular American black bear at London Zoo called Winnipeg, so his answer is then he's a black bear, well just because Pooh was named after a black bear, no. guarantees that's what it is, so let's double check. Let's compare Pooh to other types of bears. Currently there are eight species of bears. The North American black bear. The grizzly. The polar bear. The Asian bear. the black bear the Andean bear the panda bear the sloth bear and the sun bear we can discount some from the beginning

pooh

is clearly not a panda due to his lack of fur patterns this logic can also be applied to the Andean bear with pooh lacking the famous spectacled face markings, as well as the lazy sun and pooh-poohed Asian black bears, lacking the prominent chest markings, it is also not a polar bear given the fact that it lives in a forest rather than the arctic. , after that we only have two types of bear left, the brown bear and the American black bear, but matpat, I hear you say who is clearly yellow, not black or brown, to which I say not so quickly first, the

winnie

the original pooh is not yellow, in fact, he was brown when he brought him.

For

film

ing, Disney made him blonde like they did with Christopher Robin, who was also dark in real life. I'm also unsure who is yellow in the movie, but brown and black bears have actually been seen in a variety of colors, including black, brown, and even golden blonde. There are also a couple of other historical and geographical reasons why Pooh has to be one of these two species first. Conveniently, the Hundred Acre Wood is based on a real forest. The 500 acre forest in the UK, although not the most interesting name, the reference is clear and The bear that used to roam the UK in these forests was a subspecies of brown bear, however that still doesn't close the story. book because, after all, Pooh is also a teddy bear and they happen to have a very specific origin story in 1902.

The story goes that President Theodore Roosevelt refused to shoot a black bear that his associates had tied to a tree. This later became a political cartoon and inspired Morris Mitchum to create the first teddy bear named after Theodore Roosevelt. Teddy the President, this fun little piece of presidential legend, political propaganda, became the most ubiquitous property toy in the world during the century, so we ourselves are the two main suspects, but fortunately there are some characteristics key that can help us distinguish each type of bear. Let's start with the brown bear. They tend to have small, round ears, deep-set, close-set eyes, and a saucer-shaped muzzle where there is a clear curve between the top of the head and the tip of the nose.

Brown bears also have a very defined shoulder hump, which is the highest point on their body when on all fours, black bears, on the other hand, have longer, more erect ears, eyes further apart and no hum. on the shoulders, and because of that, they have a more teardrop-like body shape, with the rump being the highest part, so now Let's look at Pooh, his ears are upright and are more oval than round, so a point for the black bear we can definitely see from the face that his eyes are further apart, another point regarding the body shape, Pooh clearly does not have a hump on his shoulder. and although we never see him walking on all fours, his torso is larger at the bottom and narrows as he goes up, indicating the likelihood that his butt is taller, so it would appear that Pooh is indeed a American black bear Now that we have established the type of bear poop and can begin to determine what it needs to survive.

The average American blackberry needs to consume 8,000 calories each day during the spring and a whopping 20,000 calories in the fall to prepare to hibernate however we do. We already know that Pooh does not hibernate because of the

many

times we see him playing in the snow and that's not all, the average black bear is between five and seven feet or between one and a half and two meters tall when standing. on his hind legs given the fact that we see Pooh standing next to a child it is unlikely that Pooh is that tall to better understand how

many

calories a bear of his size would need to consume we need to calculate his height now I thought this would be simple , but it turns out that there is no cannon height for Winnie the Pooh, a character who has been around since 1926, does not have a cannon height.

A quick Google search suggested that Pooh is 22 inches or 56 centimeters tall, but the source for this was sketchy at best, mostly a random collection of pages based on Winnie the Pooh, Godzilla, and American Cereal. , of all things to have a website, although I don't think I ever thought of putting Winnie the Pooh alongside Godzilla and Captain Crunch. I have to admit, I definitely watched that show. Long story short, I took matters into my own hands and pulled out the pixel measurements. It would be almost impossible to measure the poop in the cartoon since none of the characters have canonical heights and the objects tend to be proportional. to them instead of the world, I turn to the 2018 live action film christopher robin ewan mcgregor, who plays christopher robin, is 1.77 meters or 5 feet 10 inches tall, therefore we should be able to take pictures of poop next to him and figure.

I calculated his height but after hours of measuring I got nothing because of the angles and perspective, every time I did the calculations or if you are using the proper version of English I got a slightly different answer, it would be between 20 and 25 inches or 51. to 63.5 centimeters all in the right range but nothing definitive at this point, I was ready to give up but then I remembered this shot, why is that shot important? Well, the poop is placed in a red British telephone box and its sizes are standardized on the box that We are in a K-6 model and yes, of course, I am in my British telephone boxes, right?

This is clear because we can see that it has eight rows of glass and the middle panels are much wider than the two on each side, previous models like the k2, 3 and 4 had six rows of panels of the same size and the k1 had four rows of two panels of the same size, plus modern versions tend to be one solid glass panel, so it is certainly a K6 phone booth in the movie based on the standardized size of K6 phone booths. I can now definitively say that Pooh is in fact 22 inches or 56 centimeters tall, which in an ironic twist means that that sketchy website was right, that's several hours of my life that I'm not understanding.

You should have heard the Godzilla cereal website when compared to the smaller average black bear at five feet or five feet, which is just over a third of that size, so if we break down the number of calories by day in the spring. per centimeter of height, who would need a caloric intake of just over 2980 calories per day, that's not much, but for someone who is 22 inches tall it's pretty substantial and poop is only supposed to eat honey. Does honey contain enough calories? Is there enough honey? in the hundred acre wood to keep it alive to get those answers I had to research one of my new favorite topics, sunny science and yes it is a real thing, in fact an annual magazine was published in 1912 and is still going strong today, titled be world that would discuss and I quote the progressive interests of modern beekeeping culture.

You like jazz and people think that being in the movies makes you a nerd. In volume 32, number two of B-World, Eva Crane wrote an article focusing on the quantity of honey. bee colony can produce in a year in this document she points out that the caloric value of honey is 1400 calories per pound or 31 calories per kilogram, which adds up because that is what we see advertised today, on average a strong colony In a good year it produces 30 to 60 pounds or 14 to 27 kilograms of honey in a span of 365 days, which is approximately 0.16 pounds or 70 grams of honey per day, this would only give the poop 224 calories for his daily food, well below what he needs to survive, but again, that's just one bee colony, how many bee colonies are there likely to be in the hundred acre forest? well justWe've seen a couple of beehives on the show, but that's where Eva Crane comes in again, she claims that a bee colony needs an acre. of well-pollinated land to produce those averages, in theory the hundred acres of wood could have a hundred colonies living there, each within its own acre, obviously it could be more, since bees are known to travel up to five miles, it could be less, but To make the numbers clear, let's say there are one hundred colonies, which means that even in the low season there would be about 3,000 pounds or 1,361 kilograms of honey each year, which represents more than 4 million calories per year. year, giving poop a healthy 11,500+ calories per day to live on—that's more than four times what we estimate you'd need.

It also means that Pooh would have to travel around 26 acres every day to get his fill, maybe that's why we see him wandering around so much. So who survives well? If you're familiar with this channel, you know, technically I couldn't leave it there because a Pooh the size of a blackberry could find the 3000 calories he needs per day, but that's not necessarily a good thing. Bears are opportunistic eaters by nature because of this, 75 to 95 percent of their

diet

tends to be vegetation, such as berries, nuts, if the environment allows, they will also fill a portion of their

diet

with rodents, birds, fish, insects, all of this is a help. to collect fat carbohydrates proteins Fats and carbohydrates are broken down, stored and used for energy, but protein has a bigger role here, helping to balance hormones by building and repairing muscle, as well as being a source of energy , also has the added bonus of making you feel fuller faster, while things like sugar and simple carbs often make you feel hungrier sooner.

Honey provides carbohydrates that the body can use for energy, but it does not contain any protein which is why it is generally not a major food source for bears. Notice what I said, it usually isn't because under normal circumstances bears don't just eat honey. The bears will eat everything inside the hive, the honey, the larvae, even the bees themselves. it balances the sugary carbs with much needed protein, but with poop we see it spitting out the bees, it only eats the honey inside, so poop will get some energy from this, but without any protein in its diet, actually begins to encounter a number of health risks, the first of which is that it is malnourished, we have all seen those videos online of a hungry pet that has been abandoned, its bones show through its skin and it can barely walking, it's a sad sight for sure, and the reason they look like that.

This is because they are malnourished proteins, unlike fattier carbohydrates, which cannot be stored for the body to absorb later, so if you are not eating enough protein, the body does the only thing it can do and It finds what it needs inside the body. hunger is never satisfied because your body is crying out for nutrients it is not getting and that is not the only problem you face as the poop body begins to devour your internal proteins, it may very well begin to devour p10 protein . Protein is what scientists believe allows bears to gain so much weight before hibernation but never contract diseases like type 2 diabetes.

How p10 works. It tells the body to store sugar instead of breaking it down immediately and sending it through the body. This means they have a lot of sugar built up so that when they hibernate, it can be slowly released to give the body energy and keep their blood sugar levels regulated. If the poop body doesn't get any protein and starts devouring the p10, it's not going to store it. sugar to safely release it when you need it, instead you will have dangerous levels of sugar pulsing through your body that your body will not be able to handle and winnie the pooh reached the same inevitable consequence that all of us suffer from type 2 diabetes.

That's right, if poop doesn't start diversifying his diet and picking up some of those carrots from the rabbit garden, he'll be heading down a dangerous path toward honey-induced diabetes, pretty soon he'll start feeling fatigued, he'll be abnormally thirsty, he'll have blurred vision, itchy skin, sudden weight. loss and wouldn't you know it? is always hungry, it's a little worrying that Pooh is always constantly asking for another little roll of something and it's probably not just normal hunger he's feeling, but his body is telling him he needs a much better balanced diet if he's going to keep hunting heffelumps in the woods. of a hundred acres, that is, perhaps it is better that our childhood imagination does not manifest itself in real life so often, since Pooh turns out not only to be a bear with very little brain but also a bear with very likely diabetes and a rabbit They are very good at hiding their jars of honey whenever poop hits, so poop's love for honey is plausible, yes totally, is it possible for him to get enough?

Interesting enough, absolutely, it's now Christopher Robin's responsibility to make sure Pooh doesn't eat himself into a diabetic coma in the middle of the Hundred Acre Wood, definitely sorry Christopher, welcome to being an adult, but hey, that's just a theory, a film theory and cuts to Winnie the Pooh Captain Crunch and Godzilla looking for flavors through time. and space honey and kaiju mixed with his cereal, what other

adventures

could they shove in their faces?
