In this compendium of adventures featuring AA Milne's loveable bear, material from three previous outings - Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree (Pooh's efforts to pinch a stash of honey from a buzzing beehive), the Oscar-winning Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day (a dangerous storm and a subsequent flood threaten the chums' home) and Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too (Tigger gets to be too much for the other residents of the Hundred Acre Wood). is spliced together with additional content. Charming and sweet, it only goes to show that no-one can say "Oh bother" quite like the veteran Sterling Holloway's Pooh.

Just days before the release of "Tangled," Disney shocked the world by announcing the film would be their last fairy tale princess story. But while there was much wailing, another, more positive milestone has been somewhat overlooked: "Tangled" marked the studio's 50th animated feature.
We know what you're thinking: Surely Disney has made more than 50 movies, right? And it's true, they have. But if there's one thing Disney knows even more than animation, it's how to protect their brand, which is why they've designated some of their features to be official classics and others -- like "The Jungle Book 2" or "Pete's Dragon" -- to be, you know, just something they do on the side for giggles and grins.
To celebrate the release of "Beauty and the Beast 3D," we review and rank all 50 official Disney animated features. Let the subjectivity begin.

Since 1953, Burny Mattinson has been a member of the Disney family. After extensive training in 1972, Mattinson worked on the Disney featurette “Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too” with Walt Disney himself. Now, 39 years later he holds the post of Senior Story Artist on the highly lauded Disney feature-length film, Winnie the Pooh. Winnie the Pooh started off as the movie that almost wasn’t, with everyone (even the studio) looking into doing short featurettes, which have a time frame somewhere between a movie short and a full-length feature, around 20 to 40 minutes: “… The decision early on was to have Bob Iger look into the franchise of Winnie the Pooh and find the feature animation people and so he went to John Lasseter and they asked him who should do it and John went to the directors who...

Winnie the Pooh is one of those characters so ingrained in a child's imagination, it's hard to imagine anything about the beloved cartoon changing. But that's just what Disney has done with its brand new feature length movie. It's the first time classic Pooh has ever been turned into a feature length film - up until now, the stories have consisted of short films, sometimes amalgamated to create longer film, but still shorts nonetheless.
Now, Pooh's off on a brand new adventure in the Hundred Acre Woods and all his friends have come out to play.
We talked to Winnie the Pooh directors Don Hall and Stephen Anderson about making the updated film, but staying true to audience expectations.
"We were very reverent to the material. It was sort of Burny (story artist), he was sort of our secret weapon because he worked on the original Winnie the Pooh, so...

One of the earliest memories I have of me inside a movie theater involves "Winnie The Pooh and Tigger Too," the 1974 short subject that I saw with my folks in front of "The Island At The Top Of The World." I was already familiar with the characters from books my parents had in the house, and watching them come to life onscreen was magical. A few years later, all of the "Pooh" short subjects were put together as a feature film called "The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh," and even though that was the same year I discovered "Star...

Mark uncovers the too-often-overlooked gems in the Disney animated movies catalogue...
Not all Disney feature movies get the same level of appreciation, as they're overshadowed by the better known or more rambunctious siblings.
Here are five that, in my view, deserve better...
Alice In Wonderland (1951)
Part of the impressive fifties animated feature line-up, Alice never quite got the love that was reserved for Sleeping Beauty or The Lady And The Tramp. Yet, it's as technically competent, and uniquely styled.
Disney must bear some of the responsibility, however, as, after a somewhat poor box office (by their standards) outing, they demoted Alice to being the launch vehicle for their TV ambitions in a cut-down form. This choice meant that it didn't get recycled at the cinema and moved it down a notch from its 'cinema only' screened peers.
As they've all now been on TV, I think it's about time Alice In Wonderland...

Disney has released a new honey filled Winnie the Pooh poster, with Pooh leading the way across the honey river in a honey pot. I used to watch Winnie the Pooh all the time as a kid, but it's been awhile. The new movie caused a lot of old memories to flood back in my head.
If you haven't seen great looking trailer for check it out Right Here.
The film was co-directed by Stephen J. Anderson (Meet the Robinsons, Journey Beneath the Sea), Don Hall, and Disney veteran Burny Mattinson (Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too). It stars the voices of Jim Cummings (Pooh and Tigger), Craig Ferguson (Owl), Tom Kenny (Rabbit), Travis Oates, and Bud Luckey. Zooey Deschanel even sings a nice new version of the Pooh theme song.

Disney has released a new poster for their upcoming Winnie the Pooh film, which I'm surprisingly looking forward to taking my kids to see. I watched Winnie the Pooh when I was a kid, so I have that nostalgic connection to the franchise. The movie looks like it could be pretty good, and I really like that Disney stuck with the 2D traditional animation for this one, and didn't decide to do a live-action CGI hybrid film like Yogi Bear and Smurfs. If you havent seen the trailer for the film yet, check it out here.

The following post, originally published yesterday, has been updated with the trailer for the film.
Nah, I'm fucking with you. It's not in 3D.
It is, however, absolutely adorable. Because it's Pooh, and all Winnie The Pooh-related things are by default adorable. A.A. Milne's stories about the charming bear Pooh and his bestest friend Christopher Robin, as well as his company of friends -- Eyeore, Tigger, Piglet, Kanga and Roo -- were childhood staples of mine. I probably wore through a couple of copies of The House At Pooh Corner as a wee Tk, and still have a great deal of fondness for the stories. There have been several adaptations over the years, in film and television and radio, and now the Mouse House is looking to bring Pooh and company back to the screen:

It’s time to go back and find your inner-child. Disney’s Winnie The Pooh will be hitting theaters next summer and it has been quite a while since we saw the lovely Pooh Bear on the big screen. It is not too often that we get hand drawn animated features these days, but when we do, I feel that we get something more out of the film. Winnie The Pooh looks excellent. The colors, drawings, and animation all work beautifully in this trailer, but I am on the fence about the incorporation of CGI use. Boy these characters bring me back, which hopefully will have the same affect on a lot of people to make it to the theater to see these classic characters.
Voice actors include Jim Cummings (Pooh and Tigger), Craig Ferguson (Owl), Peter Cullen (Eeyore), Tom Kenny (Rabbit), Travis Oates, and Bud Luckey along with Zooey Deschanel...

Next summer fans of A.A. Milne's beloved honey enthusiast bear will be able to see a brand new adventure featuring Winnie the Pooh. Walt Disney Animation Studios is making the new Pooh film and they're doing it the old fashioned, traditional way with no CG (computer graphics) to be found.
Thank Pooh.
That's not to say that the new Winnie the Pooh movie won't take its inspiration from the classic 1973 Disney film. The look of the 2011 Pooh film is similar to that of the '73 film but Disney is taking advantage of the modern filmmaking techniques to tell its new story. This is the first Winnie the Pooh film in 35 years, and while new talent is helping make the film (Meet the Robinsons Stephen J. Anderson and The Princess and the Frog story artist Don Hall are co-directing the movie), key animator Burny Mattinson, who worked on the 1974 Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too!

Disney is bringing Winnie the Pooh back to theaters next summer in an all new adventure which, well, looks a lot like his old adventure. The hand-drawn film.s first trailer has arrived and while it.s pretty effective, I can.t quite shake the feeling that I.ve seen this before. It seems much like the original. In fact if Disney hadn.t sent me a press release telling me this is a new Winnie the Pooh, I.d have assumed this was just a re-release of the 1966 Winnie the Pooh. So what.s the difference? I.m not entirely sure. Maybe it.s supposed to be familiar, maybe they.re trading on nostalgia here, to get people interested. If so, this trailer.s incredibly effective. It does that well. It.ll bring back fond memories for anyone who grew up with Winnie the Pooh and Tigger too in...

Trailer for the new 'Winnie the Pooh' film co-directed by Stephen J. Anderson (Meet the Robinsons, Journey Beneath the Sea), Don Hall and Burny Mattinson (Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too).
Walt Disney Animation Studios returns to the Hundred Acre Wood with 'Winnie the Pooh,' the first big-screen Pooh adventure from Disney animation in more than 35 years. With the charm, wit and whimsy of the original featurettes, this all-new moviereunites audiences with the philosophical “bear of very little brain” and friends Tigger, Rabbit, Piglet, Kanga, Roo—and last, but certainly not least, Eeyore, who has lost his tail.
“Well a tail is either there or it isn’t there,” said Pooh. “And yours isn’t… there.” Owl sends the whole gang on a wild quest to save Christopher Robin from an imaginary culprit. It turns out to be a very busy day for a bear who...

Winnie the Pooh is back in all his 2D traditional animated glory! I can't tell you how happy I am that Disney didn't take this property and turn it into a CGI live-action hybrid film. I like the nice, old school animated look.
Yesterday we shared the first images released from the film, today from Disney we have a nice little trailer from the film to share with you, that brings back those Winnie the Pooh memories. This is a character I haven't seen in a long time, but I used to watch it all the time as a kid. Watching this trailer caused a lot of old memories to flood back in my head.

It was true of The Tigger Movie and it seems to be equally true of Pooh’s Heffalump Halloween Movie: the new Pooh adventures are just rehashes of classic Hundred Acre Wood stories. The Tigger Movie imitated Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too while the Heffalump story is easily likened to Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day, the 1968 short that shared the themes of courage and facing your fears. What Blustery Day got right is that it reined in its runtime to a mere 25 minutes whereas Pooh’s Heffalump Halloween Movie stretches itself thin over 66 minutes – and man is it a stretch.
Everything is all set and it seems like this just might be the best Halloween ever for the inhabitants of the Hundred Acre Wood. All the costumes are ready (except for Gopher who’s oddly indecisive in this film – but he still whistles when he talks, so...

American ventriloquist and inventor Paul Winchell, the voice of Tigger in Disney's Winnie The Pooh films, died in his Los Angeles home on Friday. He was 82. The New Yorker led an extraordinary life, after contracting polio at the young age of six and fighting a speech impediment, he went on to be a huge success in all three of his chosen careers - in inventing, TV hosting and as an ventriloquist. As an inventor, he patented over 30 ideas, including ones for an artificial heart, a disposable razor, a flameless cigarette lighter and an invisible garter belt. After hosting children's TV shows in the 1950s and 1960s, he landed the voiceover role as the bouncing tiger in the Disney adaptations of A.A. Milne's Winnie The Pooh stories in 1968 and provided Tigger's vocals until 1999. His first outing as Tigger in Winnie The Pooh And The Blustery Day contributed to the movie picking up an Oscar for Best Short Film, and he went on to win a Grammy for Best Children's Recording for the song "The Most Wonderful Things About Tiggers" from the film Winnie The Pooh And Tigger Too in 1974. Winchell is survived by wife Jean, five children and three grandchildren.
