Other mistake: After talking to his own mirror image when guarding his house from the "Heffalumps and Woozles", Pooh turns around counter-clockwise. This should mean that his mirror image would turn clockwise but it ALSO turns counter-clockwise. (00:35:55)
Continuity mistake: In Owl's house the animators have forgotten to color his umbrella among other things in the background. In a couple of shots later, they have now been colored. (00:29:20)
Continuity mistake: When Pooh decides to have lunch at Rabbit's house, the cutlery (a knife and a spoon) changes hands as well as disappears entirely between shots. (00:14:20)
Winnie the Pooh: Could you ssspare a sssmall sssmackerel?
Gopher: Say, you ought to do sssomething about that ssspeech impediment, sssonny.
Tigger: I "recoggonize" you. You're the one that's stuffed with fluff.
Winnie the Pooh: Yeah. And you're sitting on it.
Tigger: Yeah. And it's comfy, too.
Piglet: Pooh, for a bear of very little brain, you sure are a smart one.
Winnie the Pooh: Thank you, Piglet.

Answer: Holloway could have continued voicing Winnie the Pooh, but by that time he was in his 80s and felt he could no longer effectively use his voice for the character as he once did. He chose to retire from the role.
