I’ve got to say, I was a bit surprised at the warm welcome the Winnie the Pooh received yesterday. There must be a lot of you looking back at fond memories of a golden bear in search of “hunny,” which is cool and should mean you’ll be equally excited for the trailer that just arrived detailing a story that finds Pooh reuniting with Tigger, Rabbit, Piglet, Kanga, Roo and Eeyore as Owl sends the whole gang on a wild quest to save Christopher Robin from an imaginary culprit.
As I said yesterday, the film was created in Disney’s classic, hand-drawn art style, and inspired by five stories from A.A. Milne’s books and will arrive in theaters on July 15, 2011. The voice cast includes Jim Cummings, Craig Ferguson, Tom Kenny, Travis Oates, Bud Luckey, Peter Cullen, Gilbert Gottfried and Wayne Knight and Zooey Deschanel (Indie folk band, “She and Him”) provides the vocals for a special rendition of the “Winnie the Pooh” theme song. Stephen J. Anderson (Meet the Robinsons) and Don Hall (story artist on The Princess and the Frog) are directing.
