The upcoming Walt Disney Animation Studios release of Winnie the Pooh is the first big-screen Pooh adventure from Disney animation in more than 35 years. With the charm, wit and whimsy of the original featurettes, this all-new movie reunites audiences with the philosophical “bear of very little brain” and friends Tigger, Rabbit, Piglet, Kanga, Roo—and last, but certainly not least, Eeyore, who has lost his tail. Narrated by John Cleese and inspired by five stories from A.A. Milne’s books in Disney’s classic, hand-drawn art style, this adventure can be shared by the whole family.

Winnie The Pooh will be released in cinemas nationwide on Friday 13 May 2011.
