Winnie-the-Pooh

Part 1 “Winnie-the-Pooh”: With a cheeky, down-to-earth charm that appeals to both children and adults, the series – beginning with ‘Vinnie-Pukh (1969)’ – has since developed something of a cult following, and are considered by many to decisively surpass their Disney counterparts, however uneasily they may fit into the official canon. The animation itself is somewhat coarse and minimalistic, but this all adds to the charm of it all, with the story and characters coming to life as though they have just stepped out of a picture-book.

Part 2 “Winnie-the-Pooh Goes Visiting”: This was the second of the Russian Winnie the Pooh series. This one had Pooh and Piglet visiting Rabbit for a meal with honey.

Part 3 “Winnie-the-Pooh and a Busy Day”: This time the donkey, known from the Pooh stories as Eyeore, is sad because he has no tail. Pooh goes in search of one and finds it attached to a bell that hangs from the treehouse of one Owl.
