Disney going old school with new Pooh

LOS ANGELES - "Winnie the Pooh" will be back to his old self again next year.

Walt Disney Animation Studios is returning the honey-loving teddy bear and his pals to their hand-drawn animated roots for a feature film dipping into theaters July 15, 2011. The new "Winnie the Pooh," the first big-screen "Pooh" adventure from Disney animators in more than 30 years, will more closely resemble the classic short films from the 1960s and '70s.

"We wanted to create a movie for the big screen that had the charm and wit of those original shorts," said Peter Del Vecho, the film's producer. "What originally endeared all of us — adults and children — to these characters was that they were stuffed animals that came to life in the imagination of a child. We wanted to rekindle that imagination in a big way."

"Winnie the Pooh," loosely based on five stories from A.A. Milne's books, finds Pooh, Tigger, Rabbit, Piglet, Kanga, Roo, Owl, Eeyore and Christopher Robin searching for a new tail for Eeyore in a watercolor-drenched Hundred Acre Wood. The gang will also hunt for a mysterious creature called a Backson, briefly mentioned in 1928's "The House at Pooh Corner."

"You must be catching a cold," Pooh tells Owl in one scene.

"I'll probably catch it, too," Eeyore plaintively adds.

Pooh and company will forgo recent puppet-powered, computer-generated Disney Channel makeovers in favor of the old-fashioned illustrative style that places the silly bear and his friends among the pages of a storybook. Jim Cummings ("The Tigger Movie") returns as the voice of Pooh and Tigger, with John Cleese ("Monty Python") serving as the narrator.

While this version of "Pooh" won't be generated by a computer or projected in 3-D, Del Vecho cautioned it wouldn't simply be a redux of past "Pooh" projects. He said the film, spearheaded by Disney and Pixar animation chief John Lasseter, will feature five new original songs and a faster pace punctuated with humor that's appropriate for modern audiences.

"We're definitely resetting the franchise and using this film as the example to set for the studio," said Del Vecho. "Many versions have been done, and it's been a way for the property to live on in children's minds, but we're hoping this is a new phase for 'Winnie the Pooh.' It's a return to quality storytelling that's been absent in more recent projects."

Kinjo Note: Get ready everyone! Disney is doing another traditional 2d animated feature film!! I have known of this for sometime, they were already in production before they finished Princess and the Frog. Sadly this might be the last traditionally animated 2d film from Disney for awhile, being that CG animation is still the most popular with the young'ns.

I know for a fact that Disney will never truly give up traditional animation, just take breaks from it here and there. The problem for them is traditional animation costs more, and the talent is harder to find. Everyone and there sister knows CG, because we are of a digital age.

I just hope they don't wait to long after the new Pooh movie, because those who are left who can do beautiful traditional animation might be gone. They would have to start from scratch... The 9 old men's knowledge would be lost in time....

NICE! I heard about this a while back but didn't know anything was finalized... if they use Toon Boom again it's going to be much better for the company promotionally than PatF was. Do we know who the director is yet?

true, but it's about what the public wants now adays

when people think traditional disney animation they think kiddy, that doesnt bring in the teens and young adults

cg does that with the crude humor and suggestive themes

I think most the 3d animation looks... o.o well.. fake as hecksss and like everyones a bubble person... 2d actually holds a more realistic appeal to an extent..

what i think is funny is how the cg/3d world say

we are making it look more life like, and more real

if they want it real.. why not just make it live action
