Production[edit]

In December 2005, it was announced that Disney was creating a new television series, with a new female character replacing Christopher Robin as the protagonist.[16] My Friends Tigger & Pooh was developed by Walt Disney Television Animation, with animation from Japanese company Polygon Pictures, and was executive produced and story edited by Brian Hohlfeld.[17][18] After voicing Piglet in Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie, Travis Oates reprises his role, taking over for John Fiedler, who died on June 25, 2005, two years prior to the debut of the series. It also marks the final time Peter Cullen, Ken Sansom and Kath Soucie provide the respective voices of Eeyore, Rabbit and Kanga, as all three would be recast in 2011's Winnie the Pooh. Cullen later reprises Eeyore in the 2017 Doc McStuffins special "Into the Hundred Acre Wood."
