Disney Developing New “Winnie The Pooh” Movie
Over the years, Disney has released many films and shows based on the iconic British story, “Winnie The Pooh”, including most recently the live-action movie, “Christopher Robin” and the preschool animated show, “Playdate with Winnie the Pooh”.
This past weekend, Jim Cummings, who provides the voice of iconic Disney characters such as Darkwing Duck, Pete, Ray the Firefly, Hondo Ohnaka, Tigger and Winnie The Pooh, took to social media to reveal that Disney is working on a brand new feature-length movie featuring everyone’s favourite honey-eating bear.
WINNIE THE POOH Movie in the Works at Disney!
Disney is developing a new Winnie the Pooh movie, diving deeper into the Hundred Acre Wood legacy. Fans can expect classic charm and fresh storytelling as the beloved bear returns to screens in a full-length feature.
Very little is known about this upcoming movie, such as what it’s called, if it’s animated or live-action, what the plot is about, or if it will be released directly in cinemas first, or released directly on Disney+. As with any project in early development, things could change, and it might not necessarily get made, or it might take a while until we see it released.
Many of Disney’s movies and shows featuring “Winnie The Pooh” are available to stream now on Disney+.
Roger’s Take: Bringing “Winnie The Pooh” back for another feature film sounds like a great idea, as the character continues to be very popular, plus it continues to keep Disney’s version of the character in the minds of fans, since the original book has now gone into the public domain, so any one can create content based on the characters in the book. However, some characters, like Tigger, are still owned by Disney, along with the unique Disney art style. With the characters also a major part of the Disney Theme Parks, it makes total sense to me for Disney to once again return to the Hundred Acre Wood for a new adventure, hopefully in traditional 2D animation, rather than the weird-looking Disney Jr style that just looks odd to me!
