The "From your scrapbook" is so cool beyond words ❗✋

Happy Birthday, Winnie 😀💯🎉🍁🍯

Yes, I did. Might be because we are both Canadian, you and I 😉

ay yo, what the fuck is this shit?

Not from any of the books - it's from a 1990's direct-to-video movie. Ugh.

My daughters loved Winnie the Pooh. Their books were the most frequent, "Mommy, read me Pooh" requests.

Winnie was a girl!!!!

Was about to quote-post you with that video.

Yeah darn right ^^

… Because most non-Canadians aren’t aware of them?

Winnie-the-Pooh doesn‘t know what to do …

I live right near the Canadian border and used to see these all the time on the Canadian stations

I wonder what A.A. Milne would've thought of the horror adaptation of Winnie the Pooh.

Thank you, Canada, for helping bring joy to millions of children worldwide.

Love Pooh bear

The bear was female, and it was the basis for Christopher Robin naming his stuffed bear that, not the basis for the character. The stuffed bear is in main NY Public Library branch www.nypl.org/about/locati...

It's quite well documented, and A.A. Milne himself addresses it in the intro to the first Winnie the Pooh book published in 1926.

No, it's Winnie. That's it.

Winnie was originally called Edward bear. But after AA milne and his son saw the black bear from Canada He was renamed Winnie. But the characters and the sentiment and the stories are all very much English.

Sorry no Winnie The Pooh is English 100 acre wood is in Sussex. AA Milne Is English and so was his son Christopher robin. You cannot get more English than Winnie the Pooh. Winnie was named after a Canadian bear that came over during the world war I as a mascot. But Pooh Bear is English all the way.

HER birthday. HER full name.

Shhh, now the trump will want to change his name.....

Yes. All Canadians know. There is a Heritage Minute about it that has played on our TVs for years. m.youtube.com/watch?v=MlA6...

it's amazing I can only remember him in my mind with the red shirt, but this art shows him without the shirt... I did grow up with the story on Cassette though.

my favorite memory is when i tried to sell him a yacht and he paid in honey. we are still in negotiations.

as a boy, Jon Pertwee got to ride the actual Eeyore.

I remember and loved watching Winnie, Tiger, Eore and Christopher!

This was in the foreword for Russian translation of Winnie-the-Pooh by Boris Zakhoder!

Remember when yal were sorta cool? Yea long time ago lol

TO Be CLEAR. WINNIE THE POOH IS ENGLISH. A A MILNE IS ENGLISH. CHRISTOPHER ROBIN HIS SON IS ENGLISH. 100 ACRE WOOD IS IN SUSSEX ENGLAND. Edward bear was renamed after they saw a Canadian black bear in london zoo called Winnipeg . Sorry North America he is ours. Disney just bought the film rights...

Wow! Thanks for the history lesson.

Christopher Robin Milne's childhood was ruined by that book, and he hated it. When A.A. Milne died, Christopher refused to accept a penny of the estate.

A cuddly little wuddly ole bear.

Here's to the next 💯, 'Winnie' {and the rest of the residents of the Hundred Acre Wood}! 🥳

Wait, I share a birthday with Winnie the Pooh?

Hate hate hate the disneyfication of this lovely bear and his friends

I probably should have realized that it was Winnipeg considering that we call the HMCS Winnipeg “the Winnie” but such a fun fact

How's them mushrooms? Sounds like some good shit mixed with silliness...

We’re a five generation Pooh family. Wonderful books.

That’s amazing. Thank you for sharing. Happy Winnie the Pooh Day which has to be celebrated with a 🎈.

🐻

x.com/bluesky/stat... What about this post guys, or are you too ashamed to post it here?

And Christopher Robin was the author's real son, and being in the Winnie the pooh books ruined his life. He went to his grave hating his father

Somewhere out there is a really good documentary on Winnie, A.A. Milne and his son, Christopher Robin. Anyway, I'm saying this because there were some really good pics of Winnie at the zoo included in the doc. I think it even had some reels that were of the best quality you can expect from that time

The little black bear was bought in White River, Ontario by a soldier, travelling by rail, from Winnipeg, Manitoba. northernontario.travel/algoma-count...

In 2022, New York public library... 😉

And the bear depicted in the stories isn’t Winnie at all. It is the bear owned by the son of the illustrator E H Shephard. That bear is Growler

Yes. Knew about Winnipeg.

So not America the Pooh yet🧸

youtu.be/MlA6oEs3C18?...

No, I did not know that.

Yes, but I appreciate the reminder. Was one of my favorite tales growing up.

HER full name was Winnipeg en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winnipe...

WoW

The good old days, when you could buy an orphaned bear cub at a train station!

Isn't anything else you'd like to discuss?

disney tride to sue winnipeg as well and lost

My dogs names are "Tigger" and "Roo," and they send salutations to you "Winnie." As do I. ♥️🎂♥️🍯

Roawr

Correct. The soldier was from Winnipeg or it was in a Winnipeg regiment.

Real bear, not AI is confirmed.

❤️❤️❤️💯😊

🥰

And the house where A.A.Milne lived when he wrote the stories is where Brian Jones lived years later.

I was given a Pooh book from my nursery in London as they said bye to the foreign kid heading off to America. Will always love that pudgy little bear. 🍯

Of all the many many books that I read my children, Winnie the Pooh stands out as the most thought-provoking and profound. If you've never read (or re-read) this book as an adult, I urge you to do so. The best children's books remain favourites for a reason; they are great literature.

🍁 The great grand daughter still has his diary. A great story!
