In the spirit of Karen Finley's riotous performances, Pooh Unplugged dissects social hypocrisy and commercialism by moving Pooh and Christopher Robin, Tigger and Eeyore out of their fairy tale and into real life. Pooh has an eating disorder, Piglet suffers from low self-esteem, Owl has delusions of grandeur, and Eeyore is depressed in Finley's deftly drawn cartoon world, which was inspired by late-night reading to her four-year-old daughter. As seen through the eyes of one of America's most potent social observers, the lure of big bucks, syndication, and movie deals infects Pooh Corner in all-too-familiar ways, and the changes wrought by the "Disneyfication" of these lovely woodland creatures is both hilarious and horrifying. "Not meant for children or stupid adults.".
