Extra Description & Notes |
Winnie-the-Pooh, also called Pooh Bear, is a fictional anthropomorphic bear created by A. A. Milne. The first collection of stories about the character was the book Winnie-the-Pooh (1926), and this was followed by The House at Pooh Corner (1928). Milne also included a poem about the bear in the children's verse book When We Were Very Young (1924) and many more in Now We Are Six (1927). All four volumes were illustrated by E. H. Shepard.
The partial Americanization of Winnie the Pooh, starting in the 1960s, was one of Walt Disney’s most brazen and successful acts of appropriation. Public-domain fairy tale princesses like Snow White and Cinderella may have been easier to conquer than A. A. Milne’s beloved bear of very little brain, and the first “Pooh” featurettes — collected in “The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh” — triumphed by respecting both the look and the sensibility of the literary source. Disney’s animated landscapes evoked E. H. Shepard’s lovely illustrations with such care that the book seemed to be coming to life on screen. |
