Oh, happy day

Remember a few years ago, when Disney--then still the Mouse of little brain--had the highbrow idea to "celebrate" Winnie The Pooh's anniversary by replacing Christopher Robin? Well...new folks are in charge at Disney, now. Specifically...John Lasseter. And:
animation czar John Lasseter has announced a new Pooh film in London this morning, the first to be produced by the Disney studio in over 35 years. The movie, to be directed by Steve Anderson and Don Hall, is expected to use five stories of A.A. Milne’s that have never been adapted and will weave them into a feature length animated film. Joining the production as the lead story artist is the great Burny Mattinson, who worked with Walt on the original Pooh films.


Pooh continues his search for honey in Spring 2011.
