Being GAPAs of Very Little Brain, we’re not sure how much more there is to be said about Pooh & Co. But they are clogging up the Words and Names thread, so we’re relocating the discussion here.

This site is under reconstruction and will look strange for a while. We regret the inconvenience.
PIGLET! LUVS FOR PIGLET! (first post?)
YAY!!!!!!!! Thank you, GAPAs!!!
I LOVE WINNIE-THE-POOH.
Yay for Piglet!
I used to love it.
The Tigger and Piglet movies I still love!
I love the TV series, “The Many Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh”. The movies were kinda the beginning of the end (as with many TV series-to-movie movies), but they were still flamablamablous!
deep in the hundred acre wood, were Christopher Robin plays,
you find the adventures of the toy(Correct?) of Christopher Robin’s childhood days.
theres a donkey named eyeore who is his frirend,
And Kanga and little roo,
There’s Rabbit and Piglet and there’s Owl
but most of all Winnie the Pooh.
Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh
Tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff.
He’s Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh.
Willy nilly silly ole bear.
Has anyone read Winnie-the-Pooh in other languages? My father has the Latin version (Winnie Ille Pu*), and I’ve read it in Russian. In the Russian translation, Owl is female (because the Russian word for owl, sova, is feminine), and Piglet is named Pyatachok, meaning a tiny five-kopeck coin.

Eyore is cool.
(Eyore) Oh dear (sighs) The world is ending (sighs)
……..
6 –
Go Eeyore and Piglet! So’s little Roo. But anyway, where’s my honey?
Hi. I’ve seen the shows, but I want to read the book. It sounds… interesting. And funny. Go Eeyore!!
6-
I liked the book.
Pooh’s Grand Adventure. Used to love that movie.
6 – Awwwww… Piglet is so adorable.
5- Christopher’s childhood days, not Christopher Robin’s. I ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Pooh!!!
Now I’m going to have the Pooh song stuck in my head for the rest of the day! *groans*
Have any of you read the Tao of Pooh? It’s a really great book.
6) According to wikipedia, that Latin version is the only Latin language book to appear on the New York Times Bestseller List, as well as the first foreign language book.
This is all making me very nostalgic. I used to have every Pooh vhs known to man. I can remember the theme song now…awww.
I prefer the older illustrations that go with the books. I think I have a copy of a book somewhere…
Eeyore Rocks! I have a pic with Eeyore and I in Disney, which he signed as my background!
6~
Wow.
Eeyore and Piglet were always my favorites. Piglet because he was (is) just so painfully adorable (yes, I remember crying my eyes out because Piglet wasn’t actually real), and I always wanted to give Eeyore a big hug and make him happy again.
Thinking back, it may also have been the beginning of my fondness for equines.
Well, maybe no, because I get quite a kick out of Marvin from the HG2G, I guess I just have a thing for chronically depressed fictional characters.
Or, wait, 
The movies?
Oh, no no no no no.
The books are awesome. I used to read Winnie-the-Pooh when I was a little kid, they were the first books I remember reading by myself.
20- AMEN, BROTHER!!! The Pooh movies and TV shows were awful and oversimplified and the animation had NO resemblance to Shepard’s illustrations especially Rabbit (oh PH’MIZ the awful droopy anemic ears) and there’s MAGIC for cake’s sake at least in the Halloween specials which reminds me Christopher Robin’s mother APPEARS at least once both of which are TOTALLY contrary to the original idea (Milne is spinning in his grave) and don’t even get me STARTED on the Heffalump movies *drives head through monitor* *pretty cascade of sparks*
…
Actually, if you’d never read any of the stories, the movies were pretty good. Especially the early ones, which tended to stick to Milne’s stories. It was when the folks at Disney thought they could IMPROVE on Milne that things began to spin out of control.
*hums*
*whistles*
…
Forgive above rant, please. I really needed to get that one out of my system… holding it down for about three years. Which explains its lack of punctuation. When a rant festers for too long, it tends to build up pressure, and it’s all you can do to insert capital letters before letting it go.
Anyhow. The books were quality children’s literature. I still read them when I need a touch of nostalgic fun, and the bittersweet final story will never leave my memory.
I used to like figuring out the little details, like that Pooh’s real name is Edward Sanders. (Earliest stories call him Edward Bear, Mr. Sanders is written on his door… elementary, my dear Piglet.)
21- I alway had the impression that the “Sanders” was like “Trespasser’s will”. the animals lived in a forest that humans owned at one point, thusly having signs in it.
yes. I enjoyed the books, I remember.
I hate the show my friends tigger and pooh, it is so unlike what pooh really is.
note the lowercase letters of the title… it is that bad!
24- it is bad. it HAS A GIRL!
(25) I had heard that they were planning to replace Christopher Robin with a girl. So they went ahead with it, did they?
25- Yes. *Shake head in dismay*. Oh well. CRM did look like a girl anyways.
24 – I know!!!!!
Christopher Robin is a GIRL!!! (I think!)
28-NO!
His name is Christopher for a reason, good grief.
And the Character was based on a real boy, who grew up to be a man, as most boys do.
Red-tailed HAWK
29 – I meant in the new, stupid series. He looks (and talks) like a GIRL.
I only saw a few of the very early Pooh movies–the ones that were based on the books. But I really loved the stories, like the one about the heffalump trap.
30- no, not just that. Christopher robin is not in the new one. it’s a new girl.
I love the Pooh books!
at our writing classes one of our teachers would read them to us and it would be ‘Pooh time with [teacher’s name]’ It was lovely.
32- If you’re wondering what that thing curled up in the corner quietly sobbing is… it’s my childhood.
CAKE YOU, DISNEY(TM).
34 – I hate it when that happens. I usually try to ignore anything that would ruin my childhood. This has also ensured that at least part of my childness won’t die, even though I’m 19.
I cannot believe that they replaced Christopher Robin! What happened, they decided that they needed some affirmative action here and make more female characters?
35- not Affirmative Action, Political Correctness.
christopher robin is a girl now? weeeiiird.
once i listend to one of the winnie the pooh books in tape and piglet made weird snuffling snorting noizes every 3 words or so. i t was funny at first, but then it got distract ing
(35, 36) I think it’s more likely a marketing decision: The company decided that it could make more money with a girl than with a boy. I’m not an expert, but it seems to me that a lot of recent cartoons and movies for kids in that age range have girls in major roles. The company may have decided that this one — with talking toy animals and such — was basically “girly” and would draw bigger audiences with a girl as the main human character.
(38) That may be a sign times are changing. Even as recent as a decade ago, I read about shows that were never developed — even in the case of extremely popular books — precisely because their lead characters were girls. The conventional wisdom was that girls would watch shows with boys in the lead, but boys wouldn’t watch shows that featured a girl.
I think times, and the conventional wisdom, are changing.
32- AAAH!
39- I know, but they can’t ruin the classics just to make money! Stupid Disney company.
I agree with IBCF. I’m all for creativity, but if you’re going to invent new characters right and left, don’t pretend it’s still Winnie-the-Pooh: create an entirely new show with an all-new cast, and leave Milne’s characters alone!
Oddly enough, I never read the original books. I fell in love with the television series. I don’t think I’d like the books too much.
I just re-read the arictitle about this. I’m C&Ping it here:
Disneyana fans didn’t really squawk earlier this year when Mickey Mouse got the CG treatment.
If anything, the Disney faithful was quick to embrace “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.” Which successfully rebranded this 78-year-old corporate symbol as a preschooler’s new best friend.
But when it comes to “My Friends Tigger & Pooh” …
… certain Disney Channel execs that I’ve spoken with are already pretty nervous. Why For? Because this new Playhouse Disney series takes some rather large liberties with the whimsical world that author A.A. Milne set up back in 1925.
“What sort of liberties?,” you ask. Well, let’s start with Pooh’s new best friend, Darby. Who’s a curious & active 6-year-old girl.
That’s right. You can forget about any gentle games of Pooh Sticks with Christopher Robin in this CG redo. In this new television series, Darby likes to run & jump with her new friend Tigger …
… as well as solve mysteries around the 100 Acre Woods with the help of the “Super Sleuths” (I.E. Winnie the Pooh & Tigger in super hero costumes).
Now a cynic might suggest that the Walt Disney Company is only producing this new Winnie the Pooh series because it’s looking for ways to spur the growth of this highly profitable franchise. And by pairing this silly old bear with a 6-year-old girl this time around … Well, that’s just another way that Disney Consumer Products can expand Winnie’s turf. Make Pooh seem more appealing to little girls .
And make no mistake, folks. There’s already plenty of “My Friends Tigger & Pooh” product moving through Disney’s development pipeline.
Though this new Playhouse Disney series won’t even begin airing ’til the Spring of 2007, DCP is already hard at work on all sorts of “My Friends Tigger & Pooh” product lines. Which should hit store shelves sometime in late 2007 / early 2008.
Clearly some company officials have high hopes for this new Walt Disney Television Animation show. Which is why they agreed to pump tens of million of dollars into the production of this CG series.
But other Disney Channel vets that I’ve spoken with aren’t quite as certain about this series’ success. They worry that — by replacing Christopher Robin with Darby and by changing Pooh & Tigger from gentle, timeless characters to active creatures of today — that Disney may be moving too far away from the already established & highly successful Winnie the Pooh formula. That Pooh purists may rebel once they get to see this new Playhouse Disney program next spring.
But as one unnamed Disney Company official told me last week:
“Look, we’ve already got the old Winnie the Pooh fans. The people who originally fell in love with this character through our movies or the A.A. Milne books. What we’re after now are new Winnie the Pooh fans. The kids. And when it comes to marketing cartoon characters to kids these days, the competition can be fierce.
Let’s face it. Compared to Spongebob Squarepants, Pooh seems very plain. Which is why we’re using every weapon in our arsenal — the computer animation, adding a cute little girl and her dog to the cast — to make this 80-year-old character seem more entertaining & relevant to today’s audiences.
Don’t worry, Jim. We’re not going to pull a Poochie. We’re still going to be faithful to the Winnie the Pooh characters. We’re just trying to freshen things up a bit.”
I’ll say this much. Based on what I got to see of this new Playhouse Disney program at the 2006 Licensing Show, the folks at WDTA have done a pretty nice job of translating these traditionally 2D characters into 3D CG. But will Pooh purists really embrace a show where Christopher Robin has been replaced by a six-year-old girl?
You tell me, folks. Is this just too extreme a makeover of the Hundred Acre Woods?
Your thoughts?
44- *steam comes out of ears* Cake, Disney! You just can’t DO things like that.
Hm… Beauty and the Beast? The Little Mermaid? Aladdin? Cinderella? Snow White? If you read the original sources, you’ll realize that Disney has been doing things like that for a long time.
44 – *twitches*
46 – I know! I get mad.
But I have to admit, I have never read the books, and as a result, I don’t think I’d like ’em much, since I fell in love with the TV series.
But… DARBY?!?!?! *twitch* *twitch*
46- Oh, definitely. But still… *cringes*
47- I will never be able to think of that name without thinking of Darby the Dragon. Sigh.
44- Her name is DARBY??? AAAAAAAAAAAH
Oh, they’ve pulled a Poochie, all right. And Christopher Robin is a Winnie the Pooh character. What are they going to do next? Replace Roo’s mom with a Heffalump?
49- Well, roo is taking care of one…
46-
I take great delight in saying loudly “Ariel dies in the book” to anyone watching the Little Mermaid.I didn’t like them either.50- The Heffalumps DON’T EVEN EXIST!!! They’re the boogeymen of the Hundred Acre Wood!!! Introducing a real one of them would be like.. *scrambles for similie*… there’s no comparison in my literary experience! It’s uniquely despicable!!
On a lighter note…
When I was five or six, I used to act out long, elaborate dramas with my thirty-odd stuffed animals, in which I was an active participant. Rabbit (who, if not intended to represent Pooh’s Rabbit by the manufacturers, was certainly thought to be so by me) was our main adversary. We even conducted a war with him and his slew of less-liked stuffed animals (the purple bear I won at the county fair comes to mind). He was always the one on trial for slander, always the Che Guevara of the toy chest, always the outcast, always the villain. And thinking back on it, I feel sorry for him. He was just trying to free the oppressed from the whims of a mad dictator (guess who that was?), and the vast majority of the animals hated him for it.
Perhaps my new sympathy for him reflects a change in my character. Today, I’m more snobbishly intellectual, more resentful of authority, more inclined to think of myself as the underdog- all characteristics that I projected onto that worn little stuffed toy.
Sigh… only I could belatedly identify with an evil plush rabbit…
I Know! I can’t belive they did it just to show the message: do not judge a person by there cover. I think.
I really liked the oldest pooh movie (1960 something.) it was very true to the book (except for gopher, but he did say “I’m not in the book you know!”)
51 – She did?!?!?! *files away for twisted purposes*
I think i have a book of fairy tales around here somewhere… *rumages* Ah ha! Here are the real endings of the Disneyfied characters.
Cinderella- She and her sisters forgave each other and lived happily ever after.
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice- The apprentice kills the sorcerer.
Little Mermaid- She dies, and rises up with the daughters of the air to do some good for like, 300 years. And then she can go to “the heavenly kingdom come.”
UglyBeauty and the beast- The beast turns out to be a fairy’s son, and the fairy thanks Beauty and the fairy magicks em a splendid wedding with all of Beauty’s family attending.Snow White- They have a wedding, and “as she [the stepmom] entered, Snow White nearly fainted with fear. But red-hot iron shoes had been prepared especially for the wicked old queen, and she was made to get into them and dance until she fell down dead.” Snow White has a nice capacity for torture.
And that’s all I can find. But don’t you agree Snow White is much better in the book?
56- I thought Cinderella ended up with The evil sister’s eyes being pecked out in the original? it was in Muse!
57- I’m talking about the endings. That was when the stepsisters cut off their feet to fit into the slipper. Then birds tell the prince that he has the wrong bride and start attacking the stepsisters. Kinda like HP 6, except Cinderella didn’t set the birds on them. Or did she?
I love making these fairy tale characters diabollicly evil.
Ohmygosh, Winnie the Pooh! I loved those books! I don’t think I ever read all of them, so I don’t know about this “bittersweet final story.” But don’t tell me, please.
Anyway, I think we only ever owned 2 videos, and the only one I remember is a Valentine’s day one, but that was really sweet. I think Christopher Robin maybe has a crush on this girl? And everyone in the Hundred Acre Woods… something. Oh, yeah, they go on this search to find the love bug that bit Christopher Robin so it can bite him again and turn him back to normal. And I loved the music for when they were chasing the lovebug. It was a really sweet movie x3 but I liked the books better.
8, 21, 32, 44, 49. 52, 54- To avoid making a 5-page long post, I’ll just say I agree with those posts.
I’ve read the book, seen a few movies, old and new, but never seen the TV series, though I have seen the official webpage.
The best are the book, obviously, and the original featurettes, which we used to own when I was a wee child. Very cute. Now, I’ve seen two of those recent Pooh movies… one 3 days ago, actually… and it was terrible. Piglet’s big movie, I think. All of the characters were completely off. Piglet was basically, a self-pitying whinypants, and everyone else just snubbed him off, at least until the end. AND EEYORE WAS HAPPY! HE ACTUALLY PRANCED AROUND!
*asplodes*
11- the book is wonderful.
28- no. he’s a boy.
The book is really sweet. I found it in my schools library. Eyore is my favorite character, I guess, because he makes everyone feel guilty about his unhappyness but he does it subtely. I have two of the stories on tape which are really wonderfull. *sighs whistfully* as usual please ignore all spelling and gramar errors in this post.
What else will they change in our beloved Winnie-the-Pooh world? *SARCASM ALERT* My guess is that Roo will have a dad. I mean, a single mom? That’s giving the wrong idea, right? And Pooh’s lovableness, his simple charm, is insulting to people with mental disorders. All of the characters will get their nourishment from Rabbit’s garden, to be organic and eco-friendly. No more honey, though. We’ll have a nice, healthy, soy-based substitute with aspartame instead of sugar. And they’ll have to confront evil men who want to cut down all the trees in the forest. Rabbit and Tigger will be best friends, to support acceptance of other cultures. Tigger’s name will be changed to Tiger. We can’t have our children misspell simple words, after all. No more heffalumps or woozles, either. They teach children to be afraid of the dark. Pooh’s pretend cork gun will be taken away, so as to not encourage violence. *END SARCASM*
Ugh. Makes me sick.
62- *shudders violently* The worst part is, I wouldn’t be surprised AT ALL if they did that.
62 – *twitch* *twitch* *shudder*
38 – That’s so…stupid. Way to ruin the classics, corporate America.
42 – Exactly! I mean, it’s not the same story if you cutesify all the charactres and replace Christopher Robin with a girl.
44 – Ugh. Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh.
“Well, let’s start with Pooh’s new best friend, Darby. Who’s a curious & active 6-year-old girl.
That’s right. You can forget about any gentle games of Pooh Sticks with Christopher Robin in this CG redo. In this new television series, Darby likes to run & jump with her new friend Tigger …
… as well as solve mysteries around the 100 Acre Woods with the help of the “Super Sleuths†(I.E. Winnie the Pooh & Tigger in super hero costumes).”
SUPER HERO COSTUMES!?
UGH.
52 – I’m trying, but I can’t think of an appropriate simile either. -shudders-
53 – Awwwww.
52 – Egad! It’s the attack of the politically correct corporate executives!
62- Shudders.
pooh & gang in superhero costumes???????
8-o
eek
*pukes*
When I was being tourist-y around Harvard Yard one time, someone who knows the area pointed out a little red door-thing with a bell (just about 5 inches tall, not too big) over a little cavity-thing in a tree trunk. Apparently, it was Pooh’s house, and, earlier, there was another door that people used to leave notes to Pooh behind. I thought this was wonderful, and it’s very sad what they’re doing to Pooh now…
tell me about it
i wonder how the author of pooh would feel
i mean, she copyrighted pooh!!!!
i think
i would
maybe not
Roo is my favorite. And then Eeyore.
What have they done? At least I own 4 of the original books, so those won’t be corrupted. But …. Superhero costumes?!?!?!?!
*screams*
*gets dirty looks from others in library*
i ♥ eeyore
he is so….glum. but awesome
reminds me of a more depressed version of Bo (kinda maybe)
Reminds me of Marvin, except less funny. *no one knows who Marvin is* *leaves thread*
I love Marvin!
I don’t like Eeyore as much. But I like Piglet.
69- I may be wrong, but I think A.A. Milne was a boy. Yes, I’m pretty sure he was.
72-So am I.
(pretty sure, that is, not a boy)
68- That’s awesome
69- Blame Christopher robin himself. HE problemly sold the rights to disney (Chuckles)
I randomly flipped to channel twenty (Disney Channel) one morning, and saw the ending of a MF,T&P. I saw Tigger and Pooh in superhero costumes.
My eyes burned out of my skull.
*sizzle*
(76) That’s the risk you take when you turn on a TV set.
76 –
Of course, I had my own little traumatic experience a while ago. I was also flipping channels, when I saw a snippet of the same show. Tigger and Pooh were superheros. Darby had her dog. Roo has his pet heffalump there.
It was all of the horror wrapped in one five-second snippet.
78- *wails and goes to hide under the bed* This makes me glad we don’t have TV.
75) Pooh and gang treat him like a superhero….until he sells their rights and makes them dress up in superhero suits!!!
72) I think you’re right… maybeI just got him mixed up with E.B. White.
80 – A.A. Milne and E.B. White were both guys, right?
E. B. White was a man, too. Maybe we should start sorting out these “initialed” authors.
MALE:
E. B. White
A. A. Milne
C. S. Lewis
J. R. R. Tolkien
FEMALE:
E. Nesbit
P. L. Travers (author of Mary Poppins)
E. L. Konigsburg
Others?
82 – J.K. Rowling
The lady who wrote The Outsiders. S.E. Hinton, was it?
81) AAK! I always thought E.B. White was an old, kindly, grandmother with spectacles! It’s always much harder to figure out the genders of these “initialed” authors, and all you have to work with are the last names. And the About the Authors.
Male:
J. B. Priestley
D. H. Lawrence
J. D. Salinger
H. G. Wells
E. M. Forster
O. Henry
Female:
P. D. James
We studied authors with pseudonyms/initialed names last year (and their reasons for the pseudonyms/initials) in Literary Arts. We had a big long list of names, which is how I have all of these.
(84) Wikipedia can be helpful in cases like these. I learned a lot of interesting factoids about Christopher Robin Milne, for example.
84 – The ‘About the Author’s can be very descriptive.
86 – Christopher Robin Milne? Where’s the A.A. come from?
Very true. But most of the time I don’t take the time to read them.
heh heh
(86) Alan Alexander Milne was the father; Christopher was the son, whom A. A. turned into a character in the Pooh books.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A._A._Milne
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Robin_Milne
MALE:
J. M. Barrie (author of Peter Pan)
Oh, I didn’t realize that would be a double post.
Sorry.
Wow, that would be either really mean or really un-mean to make your kid a character in your books.
(75) Apparently Christopher Robin never owned the rights to the Pooh characters. Here is what Wikipedia says:
92- Well, That’s wikipedia.
Funny, the Winnie-the-Pooh discussion started on the Words & Names thread, now a discussion about names is beginning on the Winnie-the-Pooh thread.
H. A. Rey (Curious George)
L. M. Boston (A Stranger at Green Knowe)
T. H. White (Sword in the Stone)
F. N. Monjo (The Drinking Gourd)
R. L. Stine (Goosebumps)
Listen to this:
“It appears that the Disney Channel show: “My Friends Tigger and Pooh” will not be getting another season and will end its run after season two. Good luck to all those animators in finding new gigs. Hopefully things will start to look up for Disney Animation(TV and Film) later this year as we are really in a transitional period right now at the Mouse…
Hat Tip to the Animation Guild Blog.”
95- *dances* YAY!!
94- Eh, A Stranger at Green Knowe was probably my least favorite Green Know book. The Children of Green Knowe is the best, of course, and then that other one, about treasure. They sort of deteriorate when the author drops Tolly and moves onto other people. Much as I try to feel the same way about Ping or Ida or Roger, they just aren’t Tolly.
I really want to name a character Linnet, though. Such a pretty name.
6-
Priceless. Plus that seems to suit Piglet very well. -loves Piglet-
HAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!! I never saw the movies! So there!
21- What last bittersweet story? I do remember being very sad at the end of one of those Pooh books, but I don’t remember why, particularly.
22- Once I got older, I figured it out.
WAITWAITWAITWAIT. THEY REPLACED CHRISTOPHER ROBIN WITH A GIRL????? POOH AND TIGGER ARE SUPER SLUETHS?????????????????? Oh happy dagger! -stabs-
38- They did it to My Friend Flicka, too. Very upsetting, even though I didn’t see the movie.
43- -glares- NEVER SAY THAT TO MY FACE AGAIN.
44- -eyes blaze fire- I WILL SET THE HPBS ON THEM!!! I SWEAR IT!
46- Beauty and the Beast. -shudders- Aladdin. -shudders- Cinderella. -shudders- Snow White. Sleeping Beauty. -shudders- -shudders- Anastasia. -shudders- I never saw The Little Mermaid (nor did I read the book), and I’ve only seen snippets of most of the others. But now I think about it, someone should have set the HPBs on Disney a long time ago.
-has horrible thought- I bet if someone set the HPBs on them, they’d just twist them all up, make a movie about them, and send them back. We need to think of something more sinister.
56- No, Cinderella did not forgive her sisters. Did she? Maybe that was Snow White…
Now I have to go find a version of The Little Mermaid to read. Probably a horribly glum version too. We had a book with very well-translated, humorous Hans Christain Andersen once (according to Mother. I only read the first story, which was funny, in an awful way), but that belonged to the library.
98 – *quietly* Sorry…
I’m sorry, but this thread has been tottering on the edge of 100 posts for way too long. 100th post! w00t! Anyway, old Winnie-the-Pooh = pwnage; new Pooh = sucks.
As I stated before, I fell in love with the new Winnie-the-Pooh. Well, the ‘old’ TV show, at least. The new one with that girl – Darcy? – and her dog fails.
I know this thread is completely, undeniably dead, but I recently discovered that there is a Winnie-the-Pooh comic strip! It is adorable. I heartily recommend anyone Google it.
Wow. That’s really cute! And it’s written by A.A. Mine!
*echo*
Dead thread.
*was just randomly taken to this thread*
Shiny. It makes me remember how much I enjoyed Winnie-the-Pooh
*happy childhood memories*
Re: General Disney Bashing- *sigh* I don’t really like Disney either. I mean, they’ve done some good stuff, (The Classic Disney Princesses weren’t that bad, though rather changed. And they had some annoying parts too. But anyway.) but recently… Bleh. That and they’re the reason that copyright doesn’t expire anymore. They got it extended so all their precious Mickey Mouse stuff wouldn’t pass into free domain, and they’ll probably do it again in a few years. And then they’ll do it again. And again. Seriously, it’s sad to think that people with money have so much influence.
Hey, actually, ever since Disney bought Pixar and John Lasseter became head of Disney’s animation department, they’ve actually gotten good. And the new Epic Mickey video game looks very interesting.
Has anyone heard of The Tao of Pooh? It’s a really good book, and it explains taoism using Winnie-The-Pooh characters. Apparently, “Pooh just is, and tat’s the secret to taoism.” I read it, but ’twas very confusing.
I’ve seen it before, but I haven’t read it.
Someone dropped it in Pseudo’s lap while we were waiting for the bus one day. On purpose. He said “Here, do you want this?” and dropped it in her lap.
What did I do with it again?
Piggy dislikes Apple slightly less now because included with the iBooks app for iPod Touch and iPhone was one free sample book: Winnie the Pooh book with original illustrations.
