Evil Rising
Ok, we all know "A heffalump or woozle is very confusle", also "A heffalump or woozle's very sly, sly, sly". Indeed, "They come in ones and twosles" and if the sources are to be trusted they can multiply with great rapidity, "But if they so choosles, Before your eyes you'll see them multiply, ply, ply". The song goes on to impart this very grave warning:
They're extraordinary
So better be wary
Because they come in every shape and size, size, size
If honey's what you covet
You'll find that they love it
Because they'll guzzle up the thing you prize
Beware, beware, be a very wary bear
We're given even more detail as to the description of these insidious creatures. Evidently they come in black and brown, but if the eye witnesses can be trusted they also have the ability to take on many colors, shapes and sizes. Not only can they morph themselves, they also posses the ability to shift planes of reality and/or the gift of teleportation. This is evidenced by the following:
They're up, they're down
They're in, they're out
They're all about
They're far, they're near
They're gone, they're here
And lastly we have the direst of chilling descriptions, one that caps off the point of the whole warning:
They're quick and slick, they're insincere
Beware, beware, beware, beware, beware!
So as we can see, these are creatures most foul. They posses "extraordinary" powers and while the song only warns that they covet honey, I feel certain that their greed and desire far power extends far beyond the simple by product of bees. The author tries to warn us, I think, by tacking on "Because they'll guzzle up the thing you prize". Oh yes, I think this stark statement shows, without a doubt, that they will in the end take everything you love and hold dear.
Now…this all being said, why the hell has Disney done this: Pooh's Heffalump Movie? Why have they broken canon, skewed the delicate balance of good and evil? How could they introduce a "good" heffalump? How could they ignore the blatant warnings? Don't they see the treachery, the cunning evil? It's lunacy I tell you, sheer lunacy! I've oft scorned the concept of the Apocalypse or Armageddon, but I now find myself very concerned for the world as we know it.
