The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is a full-length animated film produced by Walt Disney Productions and first released on March 11, 1977. It is based upon the Winnie the Pooh books by A. A. Milne. It is also the name of an attraction at three Disney theme parks.

Film

The film is actually composed of material from three previously released animated shorts:

The film and its characters have spawned an industry of sequels, television programs, clothing, books, and toys.

The film differs from the three individual shorts by having newly-created linking material, and an ending to give closure to the stories. It was always Walt Disney's intention to create a feature film, but he decided to make shorts instead — after production had begun — to familiarize US audiences with the characters. All three shorts as well as future feature films boast classic songs by the Sherman Brothers including "Winnie The Pooh" and "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers".

Attraction

The Many Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh is an attraction at the Magic Kingdom park in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, Disneyland park in Anaheim, California, both USA, Hong Kong Disneyland park in China, and Tokyo Disneyland park as Pooh's Hunny Hunt in Japan. The attraction at the Magic Kingdom replaced the widely popular Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, while Disneyland's version replaced Country Bear Jamboree. A huge outcry and fan protest was made when Disney announced it was replacing Mr. Toad's Wild Ride with a Winnie the Pooh attraction. The Disneyland version is incredibly unpopular, and usually has no wait. Disneyland fans often poke fun at the attraction. This is more likely due to the fact that the attraction is located in the park's most northernly-western area and is almost completely hidden. However, the Tokyo Disneyland version like Walt Disney World's, is located in Fantasyland, and is incredibly popular; with lines lasting up to two hours or more, likely from its advanced trackless, GPS guided ride vehicles, which however, are not installed on any other Pooh attractions, except Tokyo.
