If I'll be honest Disney's Christopher Robin (2019) is probably one of they're best live action films in terms of story. Yes the story was nothing new however it is slightly more watchable considering it doesn't use the studio's typical checklist.

DisneyToon's The Great Search for Christopher Robin is my favorite Pooh movie. The adventure aspect, the muted colors and scary tone coupled with the character arcs for Tigger, Piglet and Rabbit stuck with me in ways the later movies and the 2011 one just didn't.
I agree. Growing up, my family owned copies of Many Adventures, The Search for Christopher Robin, The Tigger Movie, and Piglet's Big Movie. While I enjoyed all of them, The Search was my favorite due to the sense of adventure inherent to the plot.
2:50 Omg I lived in Winnipeg!! There’s a statue of them at a park and we always touch the statue when we get there. The fact that winnie is named after my home city is incredible, and I am surprised that there isn’t that much representation of him here! I also know that there is a lot of black bears more up north of Manitoba and it was very easy to spot one
I notice that you didn't mentioned Pooh's cameo in the PSA special Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue in the New Adventures segment. While not exactly cartoons, the bear also appeared in the Kingdom Hearts series. But I'm glad that you made this video. Winnie the Pooh is my favorite Disney character, so seeing you go through the history of the character is fantastic!
Yes that's right, Winnie the Pooh did appear in the Kingdom Hearts video games and Sora was spending time with him and his friends just like Christopher Robin.
24:02 Christopher Robin's redesign from 2011 Winnie The Pooh looks actually pretty good. And they finally got rid of those dotted eyes from earlier films and series, which (ironically) made him look like a plush toy too.😂🧸
That's because, despite being sapient, the 100 Acre (or per canon book misspelling 'Aker") Wood gang are still meant to be Christopher Robin's stuffed toys, nonetheless.
Winnie the pooh is one of those stories that gives you such a melancholy feeling not happy not sad just makes you yearn for when you were younger. We all have those certain memories or things that trigger those special memories.
I definitely grew up with Winnie The Pooh. I’ve watched Pooh movies and specials here and there, and it’s still one of my favorite childhood franchises today. Also, interesting to hear that Russia made their own version of Winnie the Pooh, I’ve never seen or even heard about it.
@@bryttafitzgibbons6901 me too start to watch pooh bear in 1999 when my mum got me my first pooh bear vhs call sing a song with pooh bear vhs 1999 then ingot another one's after that
My all time favorite media of Pooh is the Saturday Morning Cartoon Show. "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" is the one I remember watching. It's my favorite but my all time favorite is "Welcome to Pooh Corner" from the DIsney channel. That's where I was introduced to the characters. I used to check out the audio books from the library with the books just to fallow along. I also have a few of the older books of the short stories too. But it's one of the few Disney franchises that I still enjoy. Thanks as always Dave for doing these types of videos. I learn some newer things when watching them. Keep it up!
This was awesome! The Many Adventures, as well as New Adventures, were such big parts of my childhood, and I still hold a lot of fondness for them and all the characters. And I quite liked the 2011 film as well. Great video as always!
One of the stranger moments in Pooh history was the short-lived newspaper comic, which introduced two new characters to the mythos --a knight named Sir Brian, and a dragon named Dragon. Both were promptly forgotten when the comic came to an end.
Oh, I think I've never heard of that before. From time to time, Disney has introduced new characters into their Winnie the Pooh publications. Some were rather odd or completely unnecessary. And some were just about acceptable. But none of these characters make me say: "This is a very good addition." So I'm very pleased that Disney decided to use only original characters for the 2011 movie _Winnie the Pooh_ . And all of them are there.
I remember the newspaper comic, and the comic book, both of which featured Sir Brian. The Dragon was a complete newbie, but Sir Brian was inspired by one of my favorite Milne poems, "Bad Sir Brian Botany". "I am Sir Brian! (ting-ling!) I am Sir Brian! (rat-tat!) I am Sir Brian, as bold as a lion...Take THAT! And THAT! And THAT!"
Hey, Dave! Really appreciate this evolution vid of my favorite character, especially seeing as it’s posted on my birthday lmao Phenomenal work, as always!
You've done one lovable British literary bear...now do another! The Evolution of Paddington Bear, from the original Peggy Fortnum illustrations, to those wonderful stop-motion animated shorts that introduced me to Paddington in the first place, to that misbegotten, short-lived Hanna-Barbera cartoon whose only saving grace was casting Tim Curry as Mr. Curry, to the much better Cinar/Cookie Jar series from the nineties, to the R.W. Alley illustrations, to the movies, to the current Nickelodeon series. I'd be there with bells on! (I showed one or two of the original 1970s shorts to my friend Alan. His response: "This is SO British.")
Haha, I adore Paddington Bear AS MUCH, if not MORE than Pooh. With a third Paddington film on the way, I'd say chances of an Evolution are likely in the near future!
My introduction to Pooh was as a very small child in the mid-seventies. I was reading by age three, and one of my earliest memories is following along in the Milne books to these LPs that Disneyland Records put out in the late sixties. The ones they did of the Pooh stories were sort of part audiobook and part radio play--they had Sterling Holloway reciting the stories and doing Pooh's voice, and other actors doing the other voices. But none of the other actors were from the movies...for example, the great Thurl Ravenscroft voiced Eeyore. There was also an album of Now We Are Six, with Holloway doing the narration of some poems, and other one set to music.
@@michaelhaywood8262 Yep, and I may have Sesame Street and The Electric Company to thank for it. I don't remember this myself, but my folks were fond of telling about how I read a few lines of the newspaper to them when I was three or so. The fact of the matter is, I can't remember a time I DIDN'T know how to read.
Wow. I just broke down crying looking at that Tiger Movie poster. I had no idea I had such emotional memories of that movie but I had the VHS as a kid and an intense positive emotion just spilled out of me. Holy crap. I'm gonna have to rewatch that movie. Thanks for this.
Two of the most iconic versions of Winnie the Pooh cartoon series that were shown in the 90’s when I was a kid in Ukraine were the wonderful Soviet classic Vinni Pukh as well as Disney’s The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. In the former, Pooh was voiced by the great Russian actor Yevgeny Leonov Who actually looks exactly like his cartoon counterpart, and the always sad Eeyore was voiced by the actor Igor Yasulovich.
Though not originally created by Disney Pooh is probably the best example of how Disney handles an acquired property and making it their own. Albeit mostly since technically they only have the rights for everything with Pooh but the books and the character itself.
Winnie The Pooh is one of My Favorites Characters and seeing him always bring me Memories and I love seeing him in The New Adventure of Winnie The Pooh!🧸🍯😍❤
My favourite memory a part of the scene is Pooh on top of the big honey pot, taking a little smackerel piece and then he fell in covered in honey all over him. 🍯🍯🍯
Winnie The Pooh was one of My Favorites and I love seeing Winnie The Pooh from 2011 and The New Adventures of Winnie The Pooh sure bring Love to My Heart and seeing him just brings me Memories!❤😁🧸🍯🥰
New Adventures is one of my favorite shows of all time. There’s something so hilarious in the characters, situations, dialogue, and plots that makes me laugh so hard.
I loved this dude growing up! I still have a light (not a night light, like an actual desk lamp thing with an actual lightbulb) that my parents got for my room before I was even born with Pooh and Eeyore at the base of it and it still works! ❤
All Honestly I love The New Adventures of Winnie The Pooh that was my Disney show as a child it was my favorite Disney Animated Series ever with its wonderful 2D animation storytelling and the imagination of the hundred Acre Wood the absolute best, but I also love The Book Of Pooh (the puppetry for the show was amazing had that Jim Henson feeling) but overall Love Book of Pooh and The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
I LOVED Winnie the pooh when I was a baby. Still do. I hope one day to meet Jim Cummings. He's one of my favorite voice actors of all time, my idol, and one of the biggest inspirations for me to become a voice actor one day. Can you also do an evolution of Tigger please?
I firmly believe that everybody loves Winnie The Pooh. After all, it's the only franchise not screwed over by Disney... Along with The Muppets, to a degree
You forgot how A.A. Milne was recorded reading Chapter 3 of Winnie the Pooh, and how Christopher Robin was recorded singing and reciting poems from Now we are Six, both of which were released on 78rpm records back in the late-1920’s.
I grew up with the new adventures of Winnie the Pooh and the movies like the tigger movie, the search for Christopher robin and the piglet movie. True tiger movie was the first movie I saw in the theater’s. My personal favourite is search for Christopher Robin, it’s big adventure with mystery and suspense and wasn’t afraid to get more serious in tone touching upon themes of loneliness and having the characters escaping from death. The 2011 movie is fantastic brought me back to my childhood. I have yet to Christopher Robin but I’m definitely going to at some point.
Winnie the Pooh may not have exactly been as popular as The Disney Princesses, The Lion King & Frozen, but there is so much Winnie the Pooh franchise. Shows, movies, holiday specials, sing a longs & a CGI movie
I like to see Eeyore different like his friend Pooh walking on two legs, eating honey together and (not the same red shirt) a light-blue shirt. How gladly he's smiling back in 2002 after 22 years later.
26:04 Note: This film, Goodbye Christopher Robin now currently owned by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures since Disney's acquisitions of 21st Century Fox assets.
The New Adventures of Winnie The Pooh is such a big part of my childhood. And it has one of the best cartoon theme songs of all time! Why it still isn't in Disney+ yet?!😊
@latexu95 You know if we could have a next Winnie the Pooh films and tv shows on Disney+ especially our old characters to return. Could it take a while to add a new project?
They should make a live action movie again but with Christopher still a kid. That last movie was good but depressing. I want to see what came before like the new Adventures of Winnie The Pooh.
While the Christopher Robin movie was a little bit dark is there was a good film I was sad that the last 2D animated Winnie the Pooh movie that was released during Harry Potter didn't do well at the box office
I love to see how Pooh receives a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame back in 2006, even though he could be the second iconic animated franchise Disney characters to earn one, such as Mickey who was the first to honoured in nominations that started 46 years.
Not too long ago I made it my business to watch the entire chronology of everything Winnie the Pooh from the old Disney shows to the latest Christopher Robin movie. I thought I was doing great, and was quite enjoying everything even the failed spin-off the Woozles. But unfortunately, the nightmarishly dumbed-down Book of Pooh and My Friends Tigger and Pooh were an utter torture to get through.
Yeah literally, that movie right there was awful, cruel and sad. A lovable character turned into a horror monster. That movie is right there totally is like taking millions of people's heart, soul and treasured childhood memories and smashing them into a million pieces. Seriously just why would they make such a horror movie based on a lovable Disney character?
21:26 Pretty clever that Pooh would mistake Pink Elephants from Dumbo to "heffalumps", since they both were originally a major part of very similar hallucination/dream sequences in Dumbo and Winnie The Pooh and the Blustery Day.🥴😴🐘
Heffalumps & Woozles were just renamed elephants & weasels (Pooh: "You mean Elephants & Weasels." & Tigger: "That's what I said, 'Heffalumps & Woozles'."), but were originally just completely fabricated monsters dreamt up by Pooh & friends (the "Pooh Captures a Heffalump" chapter of the original stories). In _The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh_ cartoon, there was a small family of presumably stuffed Heffalumps with visible seams (namely, perpetually allergic father Papa Heffalump [who spent his time throughout his most memorable appearance in _Trap As Trap Can_ earnestly trying to teach the 3 T's of tracking, trapping & trashing of "Furry Woodland Creatures" to his son Junior, at least whenever he himself wasn't either having a hilariously overblown sneezing fit because of numerous allergies or directly assuming that the aforementioned "Furry Woodland Creatures" had somehow abducted his son, therefore prompting several humorous comedic hijinks to ensue off the back of this silly rescue mission that wasn't really necessary at all, since the Heffalump family had already met & had even potentially made friends with Christopher Robin's sapient toys in the Heffalump's debut episode _There's No Camp Like Home_ that actually kicked off from the moment Tigger had inadvertently mistaken the Heffalump's log tree home for discarded firewood during an outside camp out, thereby unwittingly causing temporary friction between the two parties, before they eventually collaborated to rescue Piglet & Junior from the top of a tall tree, given how the latter two had unknowingly separated from their friends and/or family after being frightened by strange nightly noises & had individually gotten themselves lost, only to meet each other for the first time atop opposite sides of the exact same tree], his doting housewife & their only son Junior [the child Heffalump's own overly cautious personality was seemingly lifted from the early insecurities of deer _Bambi_ during his fawn years & the childlike earnestness of Colonel Hathi's son from Disney's animated adaptation of _The Jungle Book_ that also was one of the last films Walt Disney's personal touch was attached to, which was, in all likelihood, why it made good sense for the youngest Heffalump to befriend tiny hog Piglet first out of the original 8 A.A. Milne creations when the two accidentally found themselves lost together atop a tall tree, although this initial meeting had adversely caused Piglet to scream in terror out of engrained habit once Junior had informed the very small pig that he was a Heffalump -- this being naturally attributed to the upheld established knowledge that Pooh & company had, up to that point, genuinely considered Heffalumps & Woozles as monsters to be feared, regardless of whether or not they legitimately existed -- before they put their misunderstanding behind them & began shouting for help]), cunning weasel/Woozle Stan & oafish elephant/Heffalump Heff as a bumbling duo of recurring villains who loved to steal "hunny" (the source book's canon intentional misspelling of "honey") & allow Pooh to take the blame for the theft (see their debut episode _The Great Honey Pot Robbery_ wherein Stan & Heff had pilfered a good portion of the yellow sweet stuff the night prior when everybody excluding Roo was asleep, however Roo had vouched for Pooh's innocence the following morning by pointing out that each of them that was robbed had gotten their beds bounced before the goods were stolen, thus exonerating Pooh of any wrongdoing, henceforth resulting in the two sets of besties all spending the next fortnight building an elaborate trap to capture the "hunny"-nappers, only to discover that the true culprits were the aforementioned hapless baddies, whose funny banter between each other fittingly mirrored that of vintage funnymen partnerships Laurel & Hardy and/or Abbot & Costello before them, but when Pooh & company had Roo defend them -- thereby causing a scared Heff to jump into Stan's arms due to confusing Kanga's joey for a giant mouse, as a play on the "elephants are frightened of mice" cliche -- Stan threatened to bring in reinforcements in the form of a massively gigantic deep-voiced stuffed Woozle named Wooster, whose only appearance to-date was in this particular episode, yet Wooster found himself so charmed by Pooh's sincere acceptance of friendship that he quickly turned against Stan & Heff when they tried to make off with the "hunny", just to get grabbed before they could nab it by an upset Wooster, who basically yelled at them that they should ask for some "hunny" rather than trying to steal it, however Stan & Heff flatly refused and after Wooster roughly dropped them, they both quickly ran away to plan for their next theft, with Pooh optimistically thinking that Wooster was there to stay & help fend off the villains, but he sadly only made the one sole appearance throughout the entire run of the series, whereas Stan & Heff would later return in _A Bird in the Hand_ to ransom most of the featured characters, with this specific episode also incorporating the teenage comeback of bluebird Kessie whom Rabbit had raised from foundling age in the earlier episode _Love Her, Keep Her_ that conveniently served as an allegory for parents having to let their children grow up, even if it puts distance between them & also makes viewers miss the times "when we were very young"). In the theatrical movies, though (at least, before the introduction of Lumpy & his mother), Heffalumps & Woozles remained mythological monsters that the core 100 Acre Wood gang universally feared, similar to the non-existent "Skull-a-saurus" reanimated dinosaur skeleton monster from _Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin_ that Owl had concocted when he sent Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit, & Eeyore on an ultimately needless quest to rescue Christopher Robin from the perceived dangers of "Skull" (Although Christopher Robin had simply just gone to school, the "skull" in question was just a medium-sized rock formation with inner caves only made scarier by our heroes' vivid imagination running amok & the fabled "Skull-a-saurus" never really existed; In fact, even the rumbling sound that was thought to be the roar of the creature was instead just ever-hungry Pooh's own tummy echoing through the empty caves that Owl said were "the eye of the skull"), as well as the bison-like beast known as The Backson from the 2011 film (which was likewise initially developed by dyslexic Owl misreading Christopher Robin's note, this time mistaking the words "Back Soon" to instead be the singular "Backson", but unlike the earlier "Skull-a-saurus" being exclusively imaginary, the ending credits to the 2011 film strangely made The Backson into a living creature, however in contrast to his disruptive depiction told in-song to Pooh & company by Owl, The Backson was actually quite nice & very intelligent, albeit a little too top-heavy, since he still toppled headlong into the trap the gang had devised to capture him when he attempted to recover the items that Owl said would be perfect bait to draw him out, but in truth, all The Backson was really trying to do was merely pick up the items in order to return them to their rightful owners).
I love Winnie The Pooh. And I remember having the VHS of Pooh's Grand Adventure The Search For Christopher Robin, The DVD of Seasons Of Giving and the VHS of The Tigger Movie and a VHS of A Very Merry Pooh Year. I remember The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh, Welcome To Pooh Corner, The Book Of Pooh and My Friends Tigger And Pooh. I also remember watching The New Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh on ABC.
Oh and I also Remember Seeing Winnie The Pooh A Valentine For You, A Winnie The Pooh Thanksgiving and Winnie The Pooh And Christmas Too on ABC. Winnie The Pooh And Christmas Too was My Mother's Favorite. My Mother's Favorite Episode of The New Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh was "THE WISHING BEAR".
Oh and I also remember Boo To You Too Winnie The Pooh, Winnie The Pooh Springtime With Roo, the Winnie The Pooh Film from 2011, the Movie Christopher Robin, Winnie The Pooh's Appearance in the Doc Mc Stuffins Episode "INTO THE HUNDRED ACRE WOOD" and Piglet's Big Movie. And I remember seeing him and Tigger when I went to Walt Disney World in February 2015. And he made a few Appearances in the TV Show Disney's House Of Mouse. And I also remember Pooh's Heffalump Movie and Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie
In my personal opinion, I will confidently say that the finest adaptations of Winnie the Pooh would have to be by Disney and Soyuzmultfilm as I have grown up from them.

Absolutely, you're not wrong there, and that is a true quote.

IMO, Christopher Robin is the perfect ending to the franchise, it’s just refreshing to see a Pooh story grounded in realism
I disagree if only because if you think about it, it kinda can be seen as trivializing things like PTSD, given that the inciting incident for Pooh to appear is a glass jar crashing to the floor. From there, the tired, emotionally burned, veteran of war listens to his childhood imaginary friends advice.

I notice that you didn't mentioned Pooh's cameo in the PSA special Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue in the New Adventures segment.
While not exactly cartoons, the bear also appeared in the Kingdom Hearts series.
But I'm glad that you made this video. Winnie the Pooh is my favorite Disney character, so seeing you go through the history of the character is fantastic!
Dont forget that he and the other Hundred Acre Wood characters also appear in Disney Magic Kingdoms as Event characters.
And that one time he was in China with Randy marsh of south park or the fact the bear is now in the publication domain
I was waiting for the Kingdom Hearts mention too! Dave's done it for prior videos.
Yes that's right, Winnie the Pooh did appear in the Kingdom Hearts video games and Sora was spending time with him and his friends just like Christopher Robin.

24:02 Christopher Robin's redesign from 2011 Winnie The Pooh looks actually pretty good. And they finally got rid of those dotted eyes from earlier films and series, which (ironically) made him look like a plush toy too.😂🧸
That's because, despite being sapient, the 100 Acre (or per canon book misspelling 'Aker") Wood gang are still meant to be Christopher Robin's stuffed toys, nonetheless.
I had good memories of watching Pooh’s Adventures back in Playhouse Disney days.
Winnie the pooh is one of those stories that gives you such a melancholy feeling not happy not sad just makes you yearn for when you were younger. We all have those certain memories or things that trigger those special memories.
I definitely grew up with Winnie The Pooh. I’ve watched Pooh movies and specials here and there, and it’s still one of my favorite childhood franchises today. Also, interesting to hear that Russia made their own version of Winnie the Pooh, I’ve never seen or even heard about it.
I also grew up with Winnie the Pooh
@@bryttafitzgibbons6901 me too start to watch pooh bear in 1999 when my mum got me my first pooh bear vhs call sing a song with pooh bear vhs 1999 then ingot another one's after that
Me too.
My all time favorite media of Pooh is the Saturday Morning Cartoon Show. "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" is the one I remember watching. It's my favorite but my all time favorite is "Welcome to Pooh Corner" from the DIsney channel. That's where I was introduced to the characters. I used to check out the audio books from the library with the books just to fallow along. I also have a few of the older books of the short stories too. But it's one of the few Disney franchises that I still enjoy. Thanks as always Dave for doing these types of videos. I learn some newer things when watching them. Keep it up!
You did a wonderful job on this video! Keep up the GREAT work, Dave Lee! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you 🙏🏻
This was awesome! The Many Adventures, as well as New Adventures, were such big parts of my childhood, and I still hold a lot of fondness for them and all the characters. And I quite liked the 2011 film as well. Great video as always!
One of the stranger moments in Pooh history was the short-lived newspaper comic, which introduced two new characters to the mythos --a knight named Sir Brian, and a dragon named Dragon. Both were promptly forgotten when the comic came to an end.
Oh, I think I've never heard of that before.
From time to time, Disney has introduced new characters into their Winnie the Pooh publications. Some were rather odd or completely unnecessary. And some were just about acceptable. But none of these characters make me say: "This is a very good addition."
So I'm very pleased that Disney decided to use only original characters for the 2011 movie _Winnie the Pooh_ . And all of them are there.
I remember the newspaper comic, and the comic book, both of which featured Sir Brian. The Dragon was a complete newbie, but Sir Brian was inspired by one of my favorite Milne poems, "Bad Sir Brian Botany". "I am Sir Brian! (ting-ling!) I am Sir Brian! (rat-tat!) I am Sir Brian, as bold as a lion...Take THAT! And THAT! And THAT!"
Next to Mickey and the gang, I’d argue these are the biggest icons of the Disney company. Crazy how many adaptations there were beforehand.
I LOVED Pooh Bear when I was a kid. I still watch it even now
I’m very glad you’re doing a Cartoon Evolution of Pooh. The franchise is one of my favorite Disney creations.
Good news, Winnie the Pooh is now in the public domain (the book versions, not the Disney versions).
Hey, Dave! Really appreciate this evolution vid of my favorite character, especially seeing as it’s posted on my birthday lmao
Phenomenal work, as always!
Haha great timing!! Thanks, and happy birthday!! 🎉 🥳
@@DaveLeeDownUnder u didn't know there's a lego set of Winnie-the-Pooh called Hundred Acrewood
Absolutely amazing video
One of the best I’ve seen
Very interesting informative and put together well done Dave 👍🏻
Thanks so much, Jamie!
Nice one Dave. I think, that Disney’s version of Winnie the Pooh is recognizable in the world (though our Soviet version also is quite popular too).
Winnie the pooh blood and honey 2
95 years?! Wow. I am impressed!
I love Winnie the Pooh! So thanks for posting this video my friend!
You've done one lovable British literary bear...now do another! The Evolution of Paddington Bear, from the original Peggy Fortnum illustrations, to those wonderful stop-motion animated shorts that introduced me to Paddington in the first place, to that misbegotten, short-lived Hanna-Barbera cartoon whose only saving grace was casting Tim Curry as Mr. Curry, to the much better Cinar/Cookie Jar series from the nineties, to the R.W. Alley illustrations, to the movies, to the current Nickelodeon series. I'd be there with bells on!
(I showed one or two of the original 1970s shorts to my friend Alan. His response: "This is SO British.")
Haha, I adore Paddington Bear AS MUCH, if not MORE than Pooh. With a third Paddington film on the way, I'd say chances of an Evolution are likely in the near future!
My introduction to Pooh was as a very small child in the mid-seventies. I was reading by age three, and one of my earliest memories is following along in the Milne books to these LPs that Disneyland Records put out in the late sixties. The ones they did of the Pooh stories were sort of part audiobook and part radio play--they had Sterling Holloway reciting the stories and doing Pooh's voice, and other actors doing the other voices. But none of the other actors were from the movies...for example, the great Thurl Ravenscroft voiced Eeyore. There was also an album of Now We Are Six, with Holloway doing the narration of some poems, and other one set to music.
I know the exact albums! They’re all so wonderful. Sterling Holloway did SO MANY fantastic record books for Disney. Such great memories to have!! ☺️
You could read at the age of 3?
@@michaelhaywood8262 Yep, and I may have Sesame Street and The Electric Company to thank for it.
I don't remember this myself, but my folks were fond of telling about how I read a few lines of the newspaper to them when I was three or so. The fact of the matter is, I can't remember a time I DIDN'T know how to read.
Winnie the pooh blood and honey 2
Absolutely iconic! Love this one. Thanks for your hard work Dave - Leigh
Thanks as always, Leigh!
Winnie the pooh's grand adventure is my favorite pooh movie. It has so many bittersweet melancholy songs in it.
Wow. I just broke down crying looking at that Tiger Movie poster. I had no idea I had such emotional memories of that movie but I had the VHS as a kid and an intense positive emotion just spilled out of me. Holy crap. I'm gonna have to rewatch that movie. Thanks for this.
Two of the most iconic versions of Winnie the Pooh cartoon series that were shown in the 90’s when I was a kid in Ukraine were the wonderful Soviet classic Vinni Pukh as well as Disney’s The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. In the former, Pooh was voiced by the great Russian actor Yevgeny Leonov Who actually looks exactly like his cartoon counterpart, and the always sad Eeyore was voiced by the actor Igor Yasulovich.
Amazing As usual!!!
Pooh: I love it so very much! 🍯
I like how Winnie is older than the king of the king of Disney himself
Winnie the pooh blood and honey
Though not originally created by Disney Pooh is probably the best example of how Disney handles an acquired property and making it their own. Albeit mostly since technically they only have the rights for everything with Pooh but the books and the character itself.
Winnie The Pooh is one of My Favorites Characters and seeing him always bring me Memories and I love seeing him in The New Adventure of Winnie The Pooh!🧸🍯😍❤
My favourite memory a part of the scene is Pooh on top of the big honey pot, taking a little smackerel piece and then he fell in covered in honey all over him. 🍯🍯🍯
Winnie the pooh blood and honey 2
I don't like that horror movie
Thank God you made a "Cartoon Evolution video" this month, Dave
I was worried about you, and yours video
Another great one from Dave.
In 2026 the Walt Disney company is celebrate Winnie the Pooh's 100 anniversary.
Oh wow, that's pretty awesome, so happy for Pooh bear.
Stupendous! In about another 2 years later let's see the next Winnie the Pooh animated film and tv series on Disney Jr. please.
Winnie The Pooh was one of My Favorites and I love seeing Winnie The Pooh from 2011 and The New Adventures of Winnie The Pooh sure bring Love to My Heart and seeing him just brings me Memories!❤😁🧸🍯🥰
Mine too.
So much happier in my entire life.
New Adventures is one of my favorite shows of all time. There’s something so hilarious in the characters, situations, dialogue, and plots that makes me laugh so hard.
Winnie the pooh blood and honey
4:58 Oh yeah, that iconic picture of the dog with a gramophone.🥰
This was great, as always, Dave! I love that you didn't just stick to Disney!
This whole video made me happy for some reason
Great to hear! 😁
I'm so happy you made a video about the chinese President
I loved this dude growing up! I still have a light (not a night light, like an actual desk lamp thing with an actual lightbulb) that my parents got for my room before I was even born with Pooh and Eeyore at the base of it and it still works! ❤
Thank you, Dave!
Thank YOU for watching!
You will never believe how much nostalgia I absorbed when I watched this.
Pooh as a cameo in Doc McStuffins and My friends Trigger and Pooh are my favorites
Winnie the pooh blood and honey 2
Good thing you’re doing Explaining Disney again, Dave. I love it. Are there any more Disney Evolutions coming soon?
ayyy were back at explaining disney once again 👏 👏
All Honestly I love The New Adventures of Winnie The Pooh that was my Disney show as a child it was my favorite Disney Animated Series ever with its wonderful 2D animation storytelling and the imagination of the hundred Acre Wood the absolute best, but I also love The Book Of Pooh (the puppetry for the show was amazing had that Jim Henson feeling) but overall Love Book of Pooh and The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
Now I want to read the original Pooh books
15:53 That is some seriously good quality! I wonder where he found that at
I LOVED Winnie the pooh when I was a baby. Still do. I hope one day to meet Jim Cummings. He's one of my favorite voice actors of all time, my idol, and one of the biggest inspirations for me to become a voice actor one day. Can you also do an evolution of Tigger please?
Winnie the pooh blood and honey 2
Most lovely character ever
I firmly believe that everybody loves Winnie The Pooh. After all, it's the only franchise not screwed over by Disney... Along with The Muppets, to a degree
I love Winnie The Pooh! I wish the last two movies found more of an audience 💛🍯🧸
Winnie the pooh blood and honey 2
You forgot how A.A. Milne was recorded reading Chapter 3 of Winnie the Pooh, and how Christopher Robin was recorded singing and reciting poems from Now we are Six, both of which were released on 78rpm records back in the late-1920’s.
Winnie the Pooh has been a few years now Disney's richest franchise above Mickey Mouse.
The Soviet Pooh looks More like a Tanooki then a Red Panda in my opinion
Yes, I love Winnie the Pooh. He's my favorite.
I would love to see a droopy the dog evolution, that’s an underrated series if I do say myself
Winnie the pooh blood and honey 2
I grew up with the new adventures of Winnie the Pooh and the movies like the tigger movie, the search for Christopher robin and the piglet movie.
True tiger movie was the first movie I saw in the theater’s.
My personal favourite is search for Christopher Robin, it’s big adventure with mystery and suspense and wasn’t afraid to get more serious in tone touching upon themes of loneliness and having the characters escaping from death.
The 2011 movie is fantastic brought me back to my childhood. I have yet to Christopher Robin but I’m definitely going to at some point.
Winnie the pooh blood and honey 2
Amazing video! Good and quality work! Thank you!
Thank YOU!!
Winnie the Pooh may not have exactly been as popular as The Disney Princesses, The Lion King & Frozen, but there is so much Winnie the Pooh franchise. Shows, movies, holiday specials, sing a longs & a CGI movie
You should do Tigger Or Eeyore next. I Love Winnie The Pooh. Great Video👍
I think will do Eeyore
I like to see Eeyore different like his friend Pooh walking on two legs, eating honey together and (not the same red shirt) a light-blue shirt. How gladly he's smiling back in 2002 after 22 years later.
Pooh got his Hollywood Walk of Fame star five years after Rugrats! ⭐⭐
Oh wow! Definitely wasn’t not expecting this at all completely out of the blue!
Winnie The Pooh Is One Of My Favorite Disney Characters Ever! Because His Innocence & Sweet Friendships ❤
He's one of my favorite Disney characters ever too.
Winnie the pooh blood and honey 2
Winnie the Pooh blood and Honey is in production
It's weird that Winnie the Pooh makes Disney so much money in merchandise. It makes sense, but it's not something you would think about.
The Book of Pooh walked so Pooh’s Off Broadway Show could run.
By sheer coincidence I was just wondering earlier if we were going to get more Disney evolutions eventually, so this was a neat surprise.
Wow I didn’t know Winnie the Pooh been around that long
The New Adventures of Winnie The Pooh, I remember not only watching it on Disney channel but on ABC Saturday Mornings. The good old memories.
26:04
Note: This film, Goodbye Christopher Robin now currently owned by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures since Disney's acquisitions of 21st Century Fox assets.
We love Winnie the Pooh ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The New Adventures of Winnie The Pooh is such a big part of my childhood. And it has one of the best cartoon theme songs of all time! Why it still isn't in Disney+ yet?!😊
It is on Disney+!! On my side of the world, at least. Perhaps it’s been newly added
It's in the states on Disney + as well. Fully restored I might add.
@@stephenholloway6893 So I guess it's coming to Europe (where I live in) with a delay, like pretty much everything else.
@latexu95 You know if we could have a next Winnie the Pooh films and tv shows on Disney+ especially our old characters to return. Could it take a while to add a new project?
They should make a live action movie again but with Christopher still a kid. That last movie was good but depressing. I want to see what came before like the new Adventures of Winnie The Pooh.
While the Christopher Robin movie was a little bit dark is there was a good film I was sad that the last 2D animated Winnie the Pooh movie that was released during Harry Potter didn't do well at the box office
I grew up watching Winnie the Pooh and his friends for many years
10:33 - Even in the 60's, people were essentially claiming works ruined their childhood.
Amazing info sooo cool
I love to see how Pooh receives a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame back in 2006, even though he could be the second iconic animated franchise Disney characters to earn one, such as Mickey who was the first to honoured in nominations that started 46 years.
Not too long ago I made it my business to watch the entire chronology of everything Winnie the Pooh from the old Disney shows to the latest Christopher Robin movie. I thought I was doing great, and was quite enjoying everything even the failed spin-off the Woozles. But unfortunately, the nightmarishly dumbed-down Book of Pooh and My Friends Tigger and Pooh were an utter torture to get through.
And then blood and honey happened
Yeah literally, that movie right there was awful, cruel and sad. A lovable character turned into a horror monster. That movie is right there totally is like taking millions of people's heart, soul and treasured childhood memories and smashing them into a million pieces. Seriously just why would they make such a horror movie based on a lovable Disney character?
They are useless and they can't get woman
Disney’s Winnie the Pooh was my childhood franchise.
Unsurprising
How very special
I'd kind of love to collect all Winnie the Pooh Franchise, except one TV series, in one of which, Pooh gets killed and the upcoming horror version.
Приятно слышать упоминание о советском Винни Пухе.
Welcome to Pooh Corner was my childhood.
I love Winnie the Pooh!
Winnie the pooh blood and honey 2
@JoaoOliveira-ik5em I hate Winnie the Pooh Blood and Honey so much with a burning passion!
The other Winnie the Pooh movies by Disney are the only Pooh movies to me
21:26 Pretty clever that Pooh would mistake Pink Elephants from Dumbo to "heffalumps", since they both were originally a major part of very similar hallucination/dream sequences in Dumbo and Winnie The Pooh and the Blustery Day.🥴😴🐘
Heffalumps & Woozles were just renamed elephants & weasels (Pooh: "You mean Elephants & Weasels." & Tigger: "That's what I said, 'Heffalumps & Woozles'."), but were originally just completely fabricated monsters dreamt up by Pooh & friends (the "Pooh Captures a Heffalump" chapter of the original stories).
In _The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh_ cartoon, there was a small family of presumably stuffed Heffalumps with visible seams (namely, perpetually allergic father Papa Heffalump [who spent his time throughout his most memorable appearance in _Trap As Trap Can_ earnestly trying to teach the 3 T's of tracking, trapping & trashing of "Furry Woodland Creatures" to his son Junior, at least whenever he himself wasn't either having a hilariously overblown sneezing fit because of numerous allergies or directly assuming that the aforementioned "Furry Woodland Creatures" had somehow abducted his son, therefore prompting several humorous comedic hijinks to ensue off the back of this silly rescue mission that wasn't really necessary at all, since the Heffalump family had already met & had even potentially made friends with Christopher Robin's sapient toys in the Heffalump's debut episode _There's No Camp Like Home_ that actually kicked off from the moment Tigger had inadvertently mistaken the Heffalump's log tree home for discarded firewood during an outside camp out, thereby unwittingly causing temporary friction between the two parties, before they eventually collaborated to rescue Piglet & Junior from the top of a tall tree, given how the latter two had unknowingly separated from their friends and/or family after being frightened by strange nightly noises & had individually gotten themselves lost, only to meet each other for the first time atop opposite sides of the exact same tree], his doting housewife & their only son Junior [the child Heffalump's own overly cautious personality was seemingly lifted from the early insecurities of deer _Bambi_ during his fawn years & the childlike earnestness of Colonel Hathi's son from Disney's animated adaptation of _The Jungle Book_ that also was one of the last films Walt Disney's personal touch was attached to, which was, in all likelihood, why it made good sense for the youngest Heffalump to befriend tiny hog Piglet first out of the original 8 A.A. Milne creations when the two accidentally found themselves lost together atop a tall tree, although this initial meeting had adversely caused Piglet to scream in terror out of engrained habit once Junior had informed the very small pig that he was a Heffalump -- this being naturally attributed to the upheld established knowledge that Pooh & company had, up to that point, genuinely considered Heffalumps & Woozles as monsters to be feared, regardless of whether or not they legitimately existed -- before they put their misunderstanding behind them & began shouting for help]), cunning weasel/Woozle Stan & oafish elephant/Heffalump Heff as a bumbling duo of recurring villains who loved to steal "hunny" (the source book's canon intentional misspelling of "honey") & allow Pooh to take the blame for the theft (see their debut episode _The Great Honey Pot Robbery_ wherein Stan & Heff had pilfered a good portion of the yellow sweet stuff the night prior when everybody excluding Roo was asleep, however Roo had vouched for Pooh's innocence the following morning by pointing out that each of them that was robbed had gotten their beds bounced before the goods were stolen, thus exonerating Pooh of any wrongdoing, henceforth resulting in the two sets of besties all spending the next fortnight building an elaborate trap to capture the "hunny"-nappers, only to discover that the true culprits were the aforementioned hapless baddies, whose funny banter between each other fittingly mirrored that of vintage funnymen partnerships Laurel & Hardy and/or Abbot & Costello before them, but when Pooh & company had Roo defend them -- thereby causing a scared Heff to jump into Stan's arms due to confusing Kanga's joey for a giant mouse, as a play on the "elephants are frightened of mice" cliche -- Stan threatened to bring in reinforcements in the form of a massively gigantic deep-voiced stuffed Woozle named Wooster, whose only appearance to-date was in this particular episode, yet Wooster found himself so charmed by Pooh's sincere acceptance of friendship that he quickly turned against Stan & Heff when they tried to make off with the "hunny", just to get grabbed before they could nab it by an upset Wooster, who basically yelled at them that they should ask for some "hunny" rather than trying to steal it, however Stan & Heff flatly refused and after Wooster roughly dropped them, they both quickly ran away to plan for their next theft, with Pooh optimistically thinking that Wooster was there to stay & help fend off the villains, but he sadly only made the one sole appearance throughout the entire run of the series, whereas Stan & Heff would later return in _A Bird in the Hand_ to ransom most of the featured characters, with this specific episode also incorporating the teenage comeback of bluebird Kessie whom Rabbit had raised from foundling age in the earlier episode _Love Her, Keep Her_ that conveniently served as an allegory for parents having to let their children grow up, even if it puts distance between them & also makes viewers miss the times "when we were very young").
In the theatrical movies, though (at least, before the introduction of Lumpy & his mother), Heffalumps & Woozles remained mythological monsters that the core 100 Acre Wood gang universally feared, similar to the non-existent "Skull-a-saurus" reanimated dinosaur skeleton monster from _Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin_ that Owl had concocted when he sent Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit, & Eeyore on an ultimately needless quest to rescue Christopher Robin from the perceived dangers of "Skull" (Although Christopher Robin had simply just gone to school, the "skull" in question was just a medium-sized rock formation with inner caves only made scarier by our heroes' vivid imagination running amok & the fabled "Skull-a-saurus" never really existed; In fact, even the rumbling sound that was thought to be the roar of the creature was instead just ever-hungry Pooh's own tummy echoing through the empty caves that Owl said were "the eye of the skull"), as well as the bison-like beast known as The Backson from the 2011 film (which was likewise initially developed by dyslexic Owl misreading Christopher Robin's note, this time mistaking the words "Back Soon" to instead be the singular "Backson", but unlike the earlier "Skull-a-saurus" being exclusively imaginary, the ending credits to the 2011 film strangely made The Backson into a living creature, however in contrast to his disruptive depiction told in-song to Pooh & company by Owl, The Backson was actually quite nice & very intelligent, albeit a little too top-heavy, since he still toppled headlong into the trap the gang had devised to capture him when he attempted to recover the items that Owl said would be perfect bait to draw him out, but in truth, all The Backson was really trying to do was merely pick up the items in order to return them to their rightful owners).
I love Winnie The Pooh. And I remember having the VHS of Pooh's Grand Adventure The Search For Christopher Robin, The DVD of Seasons Of Giving and the VHS of The Tigger Movie and a VHS of A Very Merry Pooh Year. I remember The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh, Welcome To Pooh Corner, The Book Of Pooh and My Friends Tigger And Pooh. I also remember watching The New Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh on ABC.
Oh and I also Remember Seeing Winnie The Pooh A Valentine For You, A Winnie The Pooh Thanksgiving and Winnie The Pooh And Christmas Too on ABC. Winnie The Pooh And Christmas Too was My Mother's Favorite. My Mother's Favorite Episode of The New Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh was "THE WISHING BEAR".
Oh and I also remember Boo To You Too Winnie The Pooh, Winnie The Pooh Springtime With Roo, the Winnie The Pooh Film from 2011, the Movie Christopher Robin, Winnie The Pooh's Appearance in the Doc Mc Stuffins Episode "INTO THE HUNDRED ACRE WOOD" and Piglet's Big Movie. And I remember seeing him and Tigger when I went to Walt Disney World in February 2015. And he made a few Appearances in the TV Show Disney's House Of Mouse. And I also remember Pooh's Heffalump Movie and Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie
22:58 Chloë Grace Moretz would then go on to be in the 2021 live action/animated film Tom and Jerry from Warner Bros
And would be Carrie in the 2013 remake
In my personal opinion, I will confidently say that the finest adaptations of Winnie the Pooh would have to be by Disney and Soyuzmultfilm as I have grown up from them.
