Synopsis
Rabbit is admiring himself in a mirror when Tigger bounces in on him and breaks the mirror. Rabbit tells Tigger that he'll have seven years bad luck. At first Tigger is horrified, but then says that Rabbit will have the bad luck because it's his mirror- now it's Rabbit's turn to be horrified Tigger swears to protect him from the bad luck, however that turns into a disaster. Rabbit remembers that it is in fact Pooh's mirror and Pooh will have the bad luck- however Tigger wants to help. He has Pooh and Piglet swap clothes, to confuse the bad luck, but both of them receive bad luck and poor little Piglet is reduced to a gibbering mess. Rabbit discovers that it's Tigger's bad luck that's following everyone around. Tigger realized he's right and sadly leaves the 100 Aker Wood. The Gang look for him at night and want him to come back with them because they miss him. Atop the hill near the big tree, Christopher Robin tells Pooh that breaking a mirror is a silly superstition. Pooh said he knew, but was only playing along so that bad luck wouldn't feel left out. He fishes around in a bed of clover and finds a four leaf one... Just in case.

Production notes
Welcome to Pooh Corner...
Winnie the Pooh, prized playmate of human boy Christopher Robin, has also become one of the most beloved honey-eating, life-pondering cartoon bears of all time. Pooh lived in the Hundred Acre Woods along with Christopher Robin's other stuffed animals, who all had lives of their own with or without the boy.
Pooh's best friend was little Piglet, who was the worrier and the conscience of the two. They would often head over to the overly chatty Rabbit's for tea, usually with disastrous results (e.g. - Pooh got stuck in Rabbit's narrow doorway and had to sleep there overnight until the gang could push him out. Silly old bear...)
Wise old Owl and motherly Kanga were the mature ones of the group, while rambunctious little Roo and bouncy Tigger were clearly the more hyperactive members. The lisping Gopher was the sarcastic one, while Eeyore, a donkey who was constantly losing his tail, was easily the most depressed.
Pooh and company started off as characters in a series of 1920's children's books by British author A.A. Milne. In the mid-sixties, Walt Disney created a series of theatrical featurettes featuring the Milne creations (later packaged into the feature The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh), and by 1970, the Pooh crew had a series of primetime TV specials. It wasn't until 1983 that the animals got their own series, with the characters played by actors in costumes on the Disney Channel's Welcome to Pooh Corner.
In 1988, the gang returned to cartoon format in The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. After a year, the show was combined with Gummi Bears, then continued for three more years of new episodes (the last two as a stand-alone program... again!). This new Pooh made a few changes (most notably, Christopher Robin now spoke with an American accent), but the sweet-natured spirit of Milne's original remained intact. A hit with young Pooh fans, the show was also appreciated by older viewers, who rewarded The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh with two Emmy Awards for Best Children's Program.
The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh left the air after the 1992-93 season, but the show returned later in the decade as part of Disney's One Saturday Morning lineup.
