Winnie-the-Pooh was developed by A. A. Milne and E. H. Shepard.
The first collection of Winnie-the-Pooh tales was Winnie-the-Pooh (1926). (1928). Milne wrote about the bear in When We Were Very Young (1924) and Now We Are Six (1927). Shepard drew all four books.
Alexander Lenard’s Latin translation of Winnie the Pooh, Winnie Ille Pu, was published in 1958 and made The New York Times Best Seller list in 1960.
In 1961, Walt Disney Productions licensed film and other rights of A. A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh stories from Milne’s estate and licensing agent Stephen Slesinger, Inc., and adapted the Pooh stories, using the unhyphenated name “Winnie the Pooh”, into a series of features that would become one of its most successful franchises.
Sterling Holloway, Hal Smith, Jim Cummings, and Yevgeny Leonov have voiced Pooh in English films.
Pooh is innocent, slow-witted, and steadfast in Milne’s novels. Pooh and his buddies believe he has “very little intellect,” yet he sometimes has a common-sense-driven great idea. These include riding Christopher Robin’s umbrella to rescue Piglet from a flood, locating “the North Pole” to assist pull Roo out of the river, creating Poohsticks, and bringing Eeyore out of the river by dumping a boulder on one side of him to wash him to the shore.
Pooh’s poetry and “hums” interrupt his storytelling. Despite being slow-witted, he’s confident in his artistic abilities. When Owl’s home breaks down in a hurricane, leaving Pooh, Piglet, and Owl inside, Pooh convinces Piglet (the only one tiny enough to do so) to escape and save them all by promising “a courteous Pooh song” Pooh contemplates about creativity as he writes a song.
Pooh likes honey (which he calls “Hunny”), condensed milk, and other foods. When he visits pals, he wants a snack but doesn’t want to seem unpleasant. Pooh was going to gift Eeyore a pot of honey for his birthday, but he ate it on the way and instead gave him “a functional pot to put stuff in.” When he and Piglet get lost in the forest during Rabbit’s effort to “unbounce” Tigger, Pooh follows the “call” of his honeypots home. Pooh had “something” about 11 a.m. Pooh may munch at any time as his clock “stopped at 5:11”
Social Pooh. He spends much of his time with Christopher Robin or Piglet. He visits other animals for a food or an audience for his poems as well as company. His kindness means he visits Eeyore, brings him a birthday gift, and builds him a home, despite Eeyore’s disgust. Entertainment Weekly’s Devan Coggan noted similarities between Pooh and Paddington Bear, two “very polite British bears without trousers”
