BURBANK, Calif., May 8, 2007 – Celebrate the never-ending friendship that has delighted generations as Walt Disney Home Entertainment releases The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh, Pooh’s first and most beloved feature film in a Friendship Edition DVD on June 19.

Full of fun and heartwarming stories this animated classic tells the tale of the first, unforgettable meeting between Tigger and Pooh.

These timeless adventures are brought to life through extraordinary Disney animation and engaging songs, such as “Little Black Rain Cloud” and “Rumbly In My Tumbly.” Sebastian Cabot, best known for his starring role in “Miracle on 34th Street,” narrates, and famed voiceover artist Paul Winchell speaks for Tigger.

Initially released theatrically in 1977 to much acclaim, The New York Times raved, “Three cheers For ‘Winnie The Pooh’!” and it is the first animated feature based on the award-winning books by A.A. Milne. “Pooh” creator Milne found literary inspiration from wife Daphne and son Christopher Robin. He named the lovable bear after Winnie, a bear at the London Zoo, and based the illustration on his son’s stuffed animal bear. Milne’s first two books were illustrated by E.H. Shepard.
