In the hands of Walt Disney animation, the residents of the Hundred Acre Wood have been through virtually every type of incarnation under the sun. They debuted in three short films later combined to form 1977's The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.

There have been several television series, each of which put A.A. Milne's characters in a different medium. They became live costumed actors with robotic heads in "Welcome to Pooh Corner", returned to their traditionally-animated forms for "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh", and were transformed into green-screen puppets for "The Book of Pooh". Aside from stop-motion animation, one of the only untapped mediums remaining was CGI, a format now used for Disney's latest Pooh series: "My Friends Tigger & Pooh."
More than most its predecessors, this fourth series is aimed firmly at the preschool crowd Disney has been catering to lately. Led by a new character named Darby, the show follows her, Winnie the Pooh, and Tigger as they solve mysteries plaguing the Hundred Acre Wood inhabitants. The first DVD release came last November with the holiday special Pooh's Super Sleuth Christmas Movie. This time around, we find a three-episode compilation entitled Friendly Tails.
