Celebrating the many adventures of Winnie the Pooh

Mickey Starling reporter3@greenepublishing.com   Occasionally, some of the happy reflections of childhood come back to us in one form or another.

Although these lovable friends appeared in 11 movies adapted for the Disney franchise, the cast comes to us by way of A.A. Milne and E.H. Shepard in 1926, though Winnie appeared two years earlier under the name, Jack the Bear.
