Yea...I hope they stick to their guns on this one and not listen to the bean counters.

I LOVE the original Pooh...I remember watching the classic animated TV specials when I was little. :wave:

Yeah, but watching today's version is like watching some foreign film compared to the original.

I can't wait till it comes out next year.

I'm very excited about this!

While this version of "Pooh" won't be generated by a computer or projected in 3-D, Del Vecho cautioned it wouldn't simply be a redux of past "Pooh" projects. He said the film, spearheaded by Disney and Pixar animation chief John Lasseter, will feature five new original songs and a faster pace punctuated with humor that's appropriate for modern audiences.

Well you can't say they didn't warn us this time.

Honestly though, sounds good to me.
What would be really cool is if they found some way for their animation computers to simulate the look and feel of the original cartoons- adding in tracelines, Xerox dust, bleaching out and de-correcting the color, etc. In other words, make a modern computer-inked/colored film look like it was made 40 years ago.

BTW, anyone seen the Soviet version of Winnie the Pooh? They're actually pretty awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qam9JBk5Oig&feature=related

I'm so looking forward to a new movie. Never liked the new pooh shows. My 2 year old niece watches non stop classic pooh, so much fun to watch when she's over.

I agree!...I love the old ones that feature Christopher Robin. :wave:

A new trailer is out today:

Keane? Bit of an odd choice for the trailer.
In fact, why is the whole trailer edited like they're advertising an early-2000's independent dramedy?
And why has Christopher Robin been completely redesigned?

I have never been into Pooh, but that trailer is just too cute and funny.

I love Pooh, but a hand drawn Pooh movie smells like a flop to me.

Pooh's Heffalump Movie made 53 million dollars before DVD sales.

Wow. They are taking quite a risk returning the the feeling and style of the 1960's films. Will it play to today's audience? I hope it's a monster hit but I worry that it will only play to fans of nostalgia and their kids. Of course that's a lot of people.

I will see the film anyway. I've disliked most of the pooh evolution since "Tigger Too".

I totally want to go see this. I think it'll do fine. Parents always want something good for the kids and you can't go wrong with Pooh
