The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

Rate this book
Among the favorite bedtime stories of Walt Disney's own children were A.A. Milne's tales of a round bear named Winnie the Pooh. Realizing how popular these tales would be with all children, Walt Disney decided that the creatures of the Hundred-Acre Wood deserved to be immortalized in animated film. The stories from all the classic movies have been collected together in this gorgeous treasury perfect for sharing.

Walter Elias “Walt” Disney (December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966) was an American film producer, director, screenwriter, voice actor, animator, entrepreneur, entertainer, international icon, and philanthropist. Disney is famous for his influence in the field of entertainment during the 20th century. As the co-founder (with his brother Roy O. Disney) of Walt Disney Productions, Disney became one of the best-known motion picture producers in the world. The corporation he co-founded, now known as The Walt Disney Company, today has annual revenues of approximately U.S. $35 billion.

Disney is particularly noted for being a film producer and a popular showman, as well as an innovator in animation and theme park design. He and his staff created some of the world's most famous fictional characters including Mickey Mouse, a character for which Disney himself was the original voice. He has been awarded four honorary Academy Awards and has won twenty-two competitive Academy Awards out of fifty-nine nominations, including a record four in one year, giving him more awards and nominations than any other individual. He also won seven Emmy Awards. He is the namesake for Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort theme parks in the United States, as well as the international resorts Tokyo Disney, Disneyland Paris, and Disneyland Hong Kong.

Disney died of lung cancer in Burbank, California, on December 15, 1966. The following year, construction began on Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. His brother Roy Disney inaugurated the Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971.

The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) (commonly referred to as Disney) is the largest media and entertainment conglomerate in the world in terms of revenue. Founded on October 16, 1923, by brothers Walt Disney and Roy Disney as the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio, the company was reincorporated as Walt Disney Productions in 1929. Walt Disney Productions established itself as a leader in the American animation industry before diversifying into live-action film production, television, and travel. Taking on its current name in 1986, The Walt Disney Company expanded its existing operations and also started divisions focused upon theatre, radio, publishing, and online media. In addition, it has created new divisions of the company in order to market more mature content than it typically associates with its flagship family-oriented brands.

The company is best known for the products of its film studio, the Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group, today one of the largest and best-known studios in Hollywood. Disney also owns and operates the ABC broadcast television network; cable television networks such as Disney Channel, ESPN, and ABC Family; publishing, merchandising, and theatre divisions; and owns and licenses 11 theme parks around the world. On January 23, 2006, it was announced that Disney would purchase Pixar in an all-stock transaction worth $7.4 billion. The deal was finalized on May 5. On December 31, 2009, Disney Company acquired the Marvel Entertainment, Inc. for $4.24 billion. The company has been a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average since May 6, 1991. An early and well-known cartoon creation of the company, Mickey Mouse, is the official mascot of The Walt Disney Company.

Every page of this classic has a beautiful illustration in Disney's nostalgic style. Winnie the Pooh was an absolute favorite of mine growing up -- I watched the Disney movies over and over and the TV show every morning! -- and I am so happy to have such a beautiful story collection to share with my children. I read it with my three-month-old son, who loved the vibrant illustrations and would get excited every time I showed him that we were going to be reading it again that day. I'm already looking forward to rereading it with him!

I read this because my younger brother suddenly LOVES this bear that can't find pants, or a longer shirt. LONGER SHIRT OR PANTS, YOU HEAR ME?!?!

AND, IN THE FIRST "STORY" HE HAS A GUN!!!!!

A GUN, YE HEAR ME?

AND ITS BIG, LIKE A SNIPER GUN. AND HE TRYS TO SHOOT SOMEONE WITH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



IS THIS FOR ADULTS THAT ARE TRYING TO FIND OUT ALL OF THE GUN TYPES? BECAUSE IF SO, ILL JUST... PUT THIS BOOK DOWN.

AND, ALSO IN THE FIRST STORY POOH STARTS HIS PREGANCY. THEN, TO BODY SHAME HIM, RABBIT GETS HIM STUCK IN HIS HOUSE HOLE, AND DRAWS ON HIS BUTT.



In the second story, Pooh might have cut circulation from his heart to his head for half the story. And wasn't the story supposed to be about the fall day? Yep! But no, we're going to get pots stuck on our heads, and fall down waterfalls. Then, Owl SITS on Pooh's butt, without Pooh's permission. Speaking of Owl, his design is unsettling.



Look at where Owl's legs connect? HIS CROTCH IS GROSS!!

And then, they try to lose Tigger in the third story. Tigger is the only reason I STAND this book. You don't want to lose THIS!

[image error]

THEN THEY TRY TO. SAD TIGGER!



And their like, Eeyore, we forgot about your birthday but we came up with this game and its called: Pooh-Sticks! That made me think of real poo. THANKS, POOH! Then, their like: Hey! Eeyore! We know its your birthday but we thought I would be better if we threw sticks at rocks at you so enjoy these sticks and rocks!

EEYORE DID NOT ENJOY THIS



DOES HE LOOK HAPPY?!!?!?

NO! I'm afraid they noticed you as a target for throwing rocks and sticks at.

Guns? Check! Trying to shoot someone? Check! Body shaming? Check! Drawing on others without their permission, and not being told not to? Check! Sitting on others without their permission? Check! Gross designs? Check! Losing others because you thought they were annoying? Check! Throwing rocks at others? Check! Forgetting other's birthdays? Check!

Don't get mad at me, but this is my opinion on The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh: A Classic Disney Treasury.

This book is from my childhood, and it was just so fun and nostalgic to read.

Each of the four stories felt so cozy. I found them to have humour, as well as subtle lessons throughout. The illustrations are beautiful. Highly recommend!

I'd really like to read the originals at some point!!

Reread for my children. They like the pictures but this book is not nearly as good as A. A. Milne's original books.

This was a great compilation of Winnie the Pooh to introduce to my toddler. The stories were a little too long to finish each in one sitting for my 2 year old, but she still enjoyed them.

I have to say that I was never a fan of Winnie the Pooh. I didn't grow up with him and I avoided this book every night for a while. We've been reading it for the past couple of weeks and I have to say that it's better than I expected. Great stories, not too long, not too short. We like it

"You seem so sad," said Pooh.
"Why should I be sad?" Eeyore asked sadly. And then, answering his own question, he said, "It's my birthday. The happiest day of the year."
"Your birthday?" Pooh said, surprised.
"Of course," Eeyore said. "Can't you see the presents?"
"No," Pooh replied, looking around in confusion.
"Can't you see the cake?" Eeyore went on. "The candles and the pink icing?"
"Well, no," Pooh said, more confused than before.
"Neither can I," Eeyore said with a sigh.

Winnie the Pooh will never not hold a special place in my heart. From the whimsical Hundred Acre Woods to the lovable characters, reading this felt like a warm blanket and chicken soup when you are sick.

I have always loved Winnie the Pooh. This book actually contains the same three stories from The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh movie. The art is not the original art from A.A. Milne, nor is the text the original. Both the illustrations and words were done after the movie was released... This is a great book to relate to the movie, but I wish I had the A.A. Milne originals.

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is a great book to read to any young child. It has great life lessons and stories that a child will remember the rest of their life. Young learners would not be able to pick the book up on their own and read it, but it can be used as a great read aloud think aloud.

I grew up with Winnie the Pooh and friends and was delighted to share this collection of stories with my son. The book includes charming tales of Pooh's adventures with Christopher Robin, Piglet, Eeyore, Tigger, and others. Each story explores themes of friendship, imagination, and simple joys, making it a timeless classic for readers of all ages.

Timeless tales, and the use of language is so unique and fun. One of my favorite hums is this:
This warm and sunny Spot
Belongs to Pooh.
And here he wonders what
He's going to do.
Oh, bother, I forgot--
It's Piglet's too.

Had never read this orginal Winnie the Pooh version until now. I was pleasantly surprised that some of the Disney stories and movies have actually followed the original fairly closely. A perpetual children's classic.

I read this to my 6-year old. It has many of the same stories as A.A. Milne's "The House at Pooh Corner," except told for younger children and with more pictures, Disney-style. I like to read Eeoyre in a slow, rumbley voice.
