To celebrate the 55th anniversary of the Disney version of Winnie the Pooh franchise, here’s the tribute to The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977). Surprisingly, this is another package film. But unlike Fantasia (1940), the package films of the 1940’s these cartoons that already made before the Disney movie. The first cartoon is Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree, where Pooh tries to get his hands on some honey. Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree was released in February 4, 1966, making it the last animated short that Walt Disney saw it was completed. The next cartoon is Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day, where the 100 acre Wood is in the terrible storm. This was the last animated short that Walt Disney ever produced and won an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 1968. The songs from two Winnie the Pooh shorts in the mid to late 60’s were created by the Sherman brothers, from a song creators of Mary Poppins (1964), including “Winnie the Pooh”, “The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers”, and “Heffalumps and Woozles”. The last cartoon is Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too, where Tigger really gets on Rabbit’s nerves. It was nominated for an Oscar for Best Animated Short, but lost to another short called Closed Mondays. Ever since 2007, the three Winnie the Pooh featurettes exists with The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977) only, because DVD prints and Blu-ray prints were popular at the time. Sadly, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977) was the final role for Sterling Holloway, the voice of Mr. Stork in Dumbo (1941), the adult Flower in Bambi (1942), The narrator in The Three Caballeros (1945), and Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland (1951), because Sterling Holloway had retired from acting, and Sterling Holloway had sadly died in 1992. After The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977), it came another compilation feature, Bugs Bunny Road Runner Movie (1979). More than films, TV shows, and rides, the real gold mine of Winnie the Pooh came from the merchandise. Clothes, toys, books, video games, accessories, you name it! Winnie the Pooh is one of the highest selling Disney franchises of all time.
