    29:22
    In the 1970s, Disney was expanding by hiring new animators like Tim Burton and John Lasseter and also alienating Don Bluth and a third of its junior animators. Nonetheless, it managed to make a beautiful film about how true friendship can survive anything but adversity.This episode's cover art was created by Wolfpupartz.

It's hard to tell which of the stories here has more turmoil, the story of A.A. Milne and Christopher Robin or 1977's genre-sweeping changes.This episode's cover art was created by Heidi Perez.
