Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie (2005) is a Winnie the Pooh movie which was released direct to video as the sequel to Pooh's Heffalump Movie. It features the segment, Boo to You Too! Winnie the Pooh.
It all begins when Lumpy the Heffalump is getting ready for his first ever Halloween. Lumpy, Roo, Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit and Eeyore are all at Rabbit's house, where Rabbit has prepared their bags of candy and is telling everyone what to do when it's time to Trick or Treat.
Everyone decides that Lumpy should know about Halloween, so they all try to tell him. Tigger is the one in the spotlight though, and he tells Lumpy about the Gobloon, a special creature that only comes out Halloween. It is said that if you catch the Gobloon (Goblin), he will grant you a wish, but if he catches you first, he'll turn you into a Jaggerty Lantern (Jack-O-Lantern).
This causes great distress for Lumpy and he hides under Rabbit's bed, vowing that he won't go out on Halloween because it's too scary. However, when Roo decides that because Lumpy is scared, he'll stay and comfort him, Lumpy suddenly decides to be brave for Roo, and comes out to enjoy Halloween.
But, in the meantime, Pooh has eaten all of the candy Rabbit has prepared, and so Roo and Lumpy decide to go on an adventure to catch the Gobloon and wish for enough candy so that there can be a Halloween! Tigger tells them that they have to go through the Creepy Cave, then down the Slimy Slide, and then go into the Tree of Terror in order to find the Gobloon's house.
So, Roo and Lumpy leave, retrieve their pirate costumes, and go on the adventure to find the Gobloon. Along their way they reach a fork in the road, and while going down the dark one, Lumpy gets progressively more frightened. On entering the Creepy Cave, Lumpy and his lunchbox get stuck on some rocks, which leads Lumpy to believe they're being followed. He desperately wants to go back, but Roo insists that they press on, and eventually they find the Slimy Slide, and then the Tree of Terror.
While standing in front of the Tree of Terror they hear some frightening noises, and decide to hide in a fallen tree trunk. Lumpy is very frightened, and keeps saying he wants to go back, but Roo says that if a little creature like Piglet could be unscared, then Lumpy could be too. He then decides to tell the story of Piglet's first real Halloween (the previous years he stayed home), in which little Piglet becomes unscared.
It starts out with Piglet trying to tell himself that he isn't scared, but of course it doesn't work, and he tells his friends that he can't go through with Halloween. Pooh, Tigger and Eeyore then decide to have a Hallowasn't, in order to keep Piglet happy. When they go to tell Piglet this, he thinks they're spookables (frightening creatures), and runs away from them, so they go on a hunt to find him. However, they can't find him, and Pooh gets stuck in a tree while searching.
Upon seeing Pooh in the tree, with Eeyore and Tigger (dressed as spookables) trying to get him down, Piglet decides to rescue him, and then all end up rolling right through Rabbit's well-kept pumpkin patch. But, this means that Piglet has conquered his fear, and has been unscared.
As Roo finishes telling this story to Lumpy, he realises he is unscared, and builds a Gobloon trap with Roo, so they can catch the Gobloon and make their wish. However, upon hearing a loud noise, the two run away and are separated, with Roo finding a pumpkin carved to look like Lumpy, and believing that the Gobloon has gotten him. Meanwhile, Rabbit, Tigger, Pooh and Eeyore have decided that instead of candy, they'll have vegetables for Halloween, and so go Trick or Treating and each others houses.
Roo goes back to find the rest of the gang, and tells them that the Gobloon got Lumpy, while Lumpy has gone back to the Tree of Terror to rescue Roo, and has inadvertently gotten stuck inside the Gobloon trap. When Roo and the other friends come along to wish for Lumpy to come back, they think that the noises Lumpy makes while trying to escape are the Gobloon, and Roo wishes for Lumpy to be returned to them.
As he turns away, Lumpy frees himself from the trap and jumps on Roo. The friends reunited, everyone decides to go and Trick or Treat some more. When they get to Kanga's house, they find that she has candy, and she invites them all inside for a cookies and a party. Inside they find pumpkins carved to represent each of them, and they realise that the Lumpy Jack-O-Lantern was only a pumpkin carved by Kanga to look like Lumpy.
Finally they all have their party, and Lumpy has fun at his first Halloween.
