We need to keep in mind that the current Disney Corporation has absolutely nothing to do with the goals and ideals of founder Walt Disney. It is now a money-making operation, pure and simple.

If they might ever think Winny the Pooh would make more money doing porno, it would be done tomorrow.

Fixed. Pooh was, and still is, one of my daughter’s favourites. How could I have got it wrong?

Cheers!

We need all new characters and all new stories, but that’s not going to happen with the current uncreative business idiots running the movie companies. They need to be fired and replaced with good, non-sellout artists.

Pooh is already ‘broken’. The latest stories are just regular American cartoons with Pooh and friends as characters in them. It’s just wrong; they view more like Tom and Jerry or Bugs Bunny. I have a book where Christopher Robin goes to school, through the Hundred Acre Wood, in an American yellow school bus. Ouch!

Anyone else reminded of the “Poochie” episode on “The Simpsons”?

Would this be enough of a re-vamp to extend the rights holders
term length ? This seems more of an attempt to prevent Pooh
from going public domain.

Winnie the Pooh is Disney far more so then some mouse. If wasn’t for Winnie & friends there would be no Disney today, it would of been owned by Sony/Fox/TM.

I was under the impression that Pooh was Disney’s biggest merchandise seller, and a steady stream of income was coming from that area.

They seem to be taking a risk with what I would consider their best tradition. I hope it backfires on the suits.
