Pooh is awfully sweet and still popular, even in our edgier time when we’re all going to Hell unless God starts grading on a curve. And he’s widely acclaimed, with a nearly spotless social record, having been banned in only one small community, where anti Pooh Bear forces squealed that he caused YTD (youthful tendency disorder). Winnie was the last animation labor shepherded by Walt himself. The studio launched it with 3 shorts beginning in 1966 (Honey Tree, Blustery Day, and Tigger Too) then combined them into a 1977 feature film (The Many Adventures), which holds a unanimous critic approval rating of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. And during all 4 film productions, no animals were injured.
