Winnie the Pooh[4] is an upcoming traditionally animated[1] feature film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and the 51st full-length animated film in the canon. Production began in late 2009,[5] and the film is scheduled for release on 15 July 2011 in the United States,[6] 15 April 2011 in the UK,[7] and 13 April 2011 in France.[8]

Based upon the characters of the children's books Winnie-the-Pooh, The House at Pooh Corner by A. A. Milne and Return to the Hundred Acre Wood by David Benedictus[citation needed], Winnie the Pooh will feature five previously unadapted stories from the original books.[9] It will be produced in the same style as previous Disney-produced Winnie the Pooh featurettes such as Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree and Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too.[5]

Plot

While nothing major has been revealed, it is said that the film will revolve around Pooh himself (as did the original), although there will be one sequence with Eeyore losing his tail and his friends trying different replacements,[1] and a sequence based on a story from The House at Pooh Corner where Pooh and friends search for a creature called a "Backson", which is actually Christopher Robin's misspelling of the phrase "Back soon".[3]

Based on the trailer posted on YouTube on 8 November 2010, which features the song "Somewhere Only We Know" by Keane, it is evident that In Which Eeyore Loses a Tail and Pooh Finds One from Winnie-the-Pooh and In Which Rabbit Has a Busy Day, and We Learn What Christopher Robin Does in the Mornings from The House at Pooh Corner will be featured in the movie.

Cast

Production

The film is being directed by Stephen Anderson and Don Hall and produced by Clark Spencer, with John Lasseter as executive producer. Burny Mattinson, a Disney veteran who worked on several of the previous Pooh films, is serving as lead storyboard artist.[1] The supervising animators on the film include Mark Henn (Winnie-the-Pooh, Kanga, Roo),[11] and Andreas Deja (Tigger).[12] Robert Lopez and his wife Kristen-Anderson Lopez[13] have written the songs for this new film.[14]

For new characters, it is said that Rabbit's friends and relations (who have not appeared in any Winnie the Pooh related films before) will be in this film.[1]

Music

The film will be scored by Henry Jackman, with Robert Lopez and his wife Kristen Anderson-Lopez[13] contributing seven new songs for the film, and Zooey Deschanel will sing a new version of The Sherman Brothers' "Winnie the Pooh" theme.[10]

The titles of the songs that have been revealed so far are:

  • "A Pooh Bear Takes Care of His Tummy"
  • "A Very Important Thing to Do"
  • "Everything is Honey"
  • "The Winner Song"
