So what can we say about Disney? Holds a special place in some of our hearts, for the villains or heroes and or the beautiful look. I hope to share a little bit of everything in the days coming, maybe things you forgot about, maybe not and being part of the Co-hosting for A to Z Challenge we all remember Tina... a dear friend and sweet lady.

Pooh is naive and slow-witted, but he is also friendly, thoughtful, and steadfast. Although he and his friends agree that he "has no Brain," Pooh is occasionally acknowledged to have a clever idea, usually driven by common sense. These include riding in Christopher Robin's umbrella to rescue Piglet from a flood, discovering "the North Pole" by picking it up to help fish Roo out of the river, inventing the game of Poohsticks, and getting Eeyore out of the river by dropping a large rock on one side of him to wash him towards the bank.
Pooh is also a talented poet, and the stories are frequently punctuated by his poems and "hums." Although he is humble about his slow-wittedness, he is comfortable with his creative gifts. When Owl's house blows down in a storm, trapping Pooh and Piglet and Owl inside, Pooh encourages Piglet (the only one small enough to do so) to escape and rescue them all by promising that "a respectful Pooh song" will be written about Piglet's feat. Later, Pooh muses about the creative process as he composes the song.
Pooh is very fond of food, especially "hunny" but also condensed milk and other items. When he visits friends, his desire to be offered a snack is in conflict with the impoliteness of asking too directly. Though intending to give Eeyore a pot of honey for his birthday, Pooh can not resist eating the honey on his way to deliver the present, and so instead gives Eeyore "a useful pot to put things in". When he and Piglet are lost in the forest during Rabbit's attempt to "unbounce" Tigger, Pooh finds his way home by following the "call" of the honeypots from his house. Pooh makes it a habit to have "a little something" around eleven o'clock in the morning. As the clock in his house "stopped at five minutes to eleven some weeks ago," any time can be Pooh's snack time.
Pooh is very social. After Christopher Robin, his closest friend is Piglet, and he most often chooses to spend his time with one or both of them. But he also habitually visits the other animals, often looking for a snack or an audience for his poetry as much as for companionship. His kind-heartedness means he goes out of his way to be friendly to Eeyore, visiting him and bringing him a birthday present and building him a house, despite receiving mostly disdain from Eeyore in return.

ReplyDeleteYvonne.
A friend who has kids had those window shades with Winnie the Pooh on them, and I always told him he had poo on his windows....
ReplyDeleteas strange as it may sound, but I've never seen this one. Those older Disney classics were never aired here.
ReplyDeleteI used to watch Winnie the Pooh as a child! I have some classic Pooh:) memorabilia.
ReplyDeletePooh is so great.
ReplyDeletePooh is one of the sweetest characters EVER :)

Winnie the Pooh is one of those classics that you watched as a kid and then a few years later, you watch again with your own kid. Tigger was my favourite though. He was clearly deranged...in a lovable way of course.
ReplyDeleteAwwww I love Winnie the Pooh!
ReplyDeleteTheFrogLady
I adore Winnie the Pooh. A couple of years ago I learned the story behind Winnie the Pooh. :)
ReplyDeleteI still love Eeyore to this day.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the A to Z Challenge!

Great childhood memories with Winne. There was a copyright court battle over who deserved the right to claim ownership of the honey guzzling bear. I guess our friend has seen a lot in his years since 1924.
ReplyDeletePooh is such a big, cuddly, sage sweetie. I love him so. =)
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't love Winnie the Pooh. Great choice :)
ReplyDeleteMy daughter loves Pooh even now at 20 years old. Eeyore is my favorite. He's so pessimistic.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful recounting of the incredibly feats of Pooh bear- great post on one of the most all-time beloved characters.
ReplyDeleteWhat's not to love about Pooh? He's one of the most huggable characters.
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't like Pooh? He is so affable and sweet that i would always make sure to have honey for him
ReplyDeletePooh and Piglet were some of my favs growing up, and my kids enjoyed them too! Nobody beats Piglet for piggy cuteness in my book! Lisa, co-host AtoZ 2015, @ http://www.lisabuiecollard.com
ReplyDeleteI still love Pooh and the members of the 100 acre wood. I also am a convert to Paddington as well. Have you seen the movie. It's great.
ReplyDeleteI just love Pooh so much! The drawings are spectacular.
ReplyDeleteThere is a Hungarian song about Winnie the Pooh in the snow :) Every kid knows it

I still drink my coffee from a Winnie the Pooh cup :P
ReplyDeleteLove the sketches. Makes drawing him look so easy.
ReplyDeleteDear Pooh. My very favourite "bear of very little brain." I preferred the original Shepard illustrations to the Hollywood version, but still, Pooh in any illustration is delightful.
ReplyDeletePooh!!!! I love Winnie the Pooh - "I'm just a little black rain cloud, hovering under the hunny tree.." ;) I remember seeing the films as a child and being totally enamoured.
