He is very brave. When he finally meets one, Roo is very surprised to find that heffalumps are fun and like to play . They strike a up a sweet friendship and work together to dispel the fears of their respective friends and families. At the same time, Roo tries to prove to Lumpy that his friends are not scary. Roo and Lumpy become fast friends and play together with great gusto.

The movie appears to be fully entertaining to even very young children with all the main characters present: Pooh, Rabbit, Tiger, Piglet, Eeyore and Roo. The Heffalump movie, this time provides the life lesson of accepting the differences of others and the value of true friendship.
