Winnie-the-Pooh and a Busy Day (Russian: Винни-Пух и день забот  listen , or Winnie the Pooh and a Day of Troubles in the English dub title) is a 1972 animated film by Soyuzmultfilm directed by Fyodor Khitruk. The film is based on the book series by A. A. Milne. It is the third and final part of a trilogy, following the Winnie-the-Pooh (1969 film) and Winnie-the-Pooh Pays a Visit (1971). The third part is twice longer than either the first or second one.

The third part follows the first two: it is co-written by Khitruk and Boris Zakhoder, and its prototype drawings are two dimensional and are created by Khitruk and Vladimir Zuikov. Two new characters, Eeyore and Owl, are added to the core cast of the first two parts: Winnie-the-Pooh, the narrator, and the Piglet, in place of the Rabbit, who only appears in the second part.

In 1976 Khitruk was awarded the USSR State Prize for the Winnie-the-Pooh trilogy. The animation characters, as designed by Khitruk's team, are featured on the 1988 Soviet and 2012 Russian postal stamps; they are permanently painted on a public streetcar running through the Sokolniki Park, and their sculptures are installed in Ramenki District in Moscow.
