Winnie Pooh

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Winnie the Pooh ( English Winnie-the-Pooh ) is a franchise from Walt Disney with the main character of the same name. Both Winnie the Pooh as well as almost all the other main characters are taken from the work of the Bear Pu (English. Winnie-the-Pooh ) by Alan Alexander Milne . Some of the Disney stories are also based on Milne's works.

history

Development through to the first feature film

Winnie the Pooh enjoyed growing popularity, especially among children and young people, including the daughters of Walt Disney . Milne, who was in turn a fan of Disney's work, said he would be honored if Disney ever animated its Pooh Bear stories. About five years after Milne's death, on June 16, 1961, Disney bought the film and other rights outside of the Pooh Bear book from Milne's widow Daphne and Stephen Slesinger's heir, who had bought Milne's marketing rights. Several decades later, there were legal disputes between Slesinger's heirs and the Disney group.

Disney initially wanted to create a full-length cartoon, but then decided to make a 26-minute short film because the stories about the bear were not as well known among the Americans as they were among the British. For this reason he also built in the ground squirrel or ground squirrel gopher for the American audience, which initially even replaced piglets, but also appeared later. The short film Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree (English. Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree ) was published on February 4, 1966. The next short film, Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day , two years later appeared and received an Oscar in the category Best Short Film ( Animation) , today best animated short film . A third short film with the title Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too ( Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too! ) Was released on December 20, 1974. These three short films were based on another chapter from Milne's book Pooh Builds a House , 1977 the film The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh .

More short films and two series

In 1981, the teaching animation was Winnie the Pooh Discovers the Seasons (roughly: Winnie the Pooh discovers the seasons) published two years later appeared Winnie the Pooh and I-aahs birthday (English. Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore )

1983 to 1987 ran the series Welcome to Pooh Corner on Disney Channel , which was not drawn, but was shot with actors in costumes. From 1988 to 1991 a cartoon series with Winnie the Pooh was finally produced, New Adventures with Winnie the Pooh .

Return to full-length films and other series

From 1997 onwards, the direct-to-video productions Winnie the Pooh on a Great Journey and Winnie the Pooh - Funny Seasons in the Hundred Acre Wood (1999) were again full-length animated films. Also in the cinema there were in 2000 with Tiggers big adventure and subsequently with Ferkel's big adventure (2003) and Heffalump - A new friend for Winnie the Pooh (2005) to see Pooh films again. Other direct-to-video films such as Winnie the Pooh - Honeyed Christmas Time (2002), Winnie the Pooh - Fun in Spring (2004) and Winnie the Pooh's Scary Fun with Heffalump (2005) were also produced, so that shortly after the turn of the millennium many new Pooh Films were available.

With Winnie the Pooh's picture book , another puppet series was published in 2001–2002, followed by the animation series My Friends Tigger and Pooh from 2007 to 2010 .

In 2011, the hand-drawn movie Winnie the Pooh appeared again, based on the book Milnes.

Actual filming

In April 2015, Disney announced a live action based on Winnie the Pooh. Alex Ross Perry was hired as the scriptwriter and Brigham Taylor was announced as the producer. In November 2016 it was announced that Marc Forster would take over the direction.

The film is about a now grown-up Christopher Robin, who has lost all faith in fantasy and whose family is on the verge of collapse, until Winnie the Pooh and his friends come back into his life. The title role is played by Ewan McGregor . The film was released on August 3 under the title Christopher Robin in US cinemas.

Changes to the figures

Disney changed the characters from Milne's books to varying degrees. In addition to these characters, the ground squirrel Gopher was already included in the first film . In addition, the Heffalumps, which appear in the books only as indeterminate beings to be feared, were introduced. Initially, the residents of the Hundred Acre Forest at Disney are also afraid of the elephant-like Heffalumps. However, these turn out to be harmless and a little Heffalump, called Lumpi , even becomes a friend of Ruh. Lumpi's mother also appears several times. The series My Friends Tigger and Pooh also features a girl named Darby and her dog Buster .

Some changes have been made in the German translation of the Disney media compared to the book translation:

  • Winnie the Pooh is spelled Pooh instead of Pooh and is not called Winnie-the-Pooh
  • As in English , the rabbit is called rabbit , not rabbit
  • The tiger keeps the spelling Tigger from English
  • The owl is called owl (not Oile )
  • The kangaroo mother is written kanga , not kangaroo , her child is called Ruh (not Klein-Ruh )
  • In older versions, piglet is also called "Piglet" in German

The names Piglet and I-Aah as well as Christopher Robin remained the same.
