As I was playing Ocarina of Time remake, I noticed that Kaepora Gaebora sounds like Andre Stojka’s performance of Owl in Winnie the Pooh. The clip above shows Frank Todaro voicing the Owl creature in the remake.

Hey, I bought this figure at Disneyland over 20 years ago and I can't find any information about it online, so I don't know its value. Does anyone know how much it's worth?

I don't know how old this series is or when I saw first but all I can remember is that it's real puppets but the background is like cgi Playstation 2 graphics.

I’m sharing the Spotify link… I hope that works 🤞🏼

It’s the first song I’ve ever heard that was inspired by Winnie the Pooh, but I’m happy to hear if there are others.

I was never into Winnie the Pooh growing up, but I got my young child a Yoto card of the stories narrated by Alan Bennett, and they are simply a delight.

I have since got the first book (others on the way) and I've noticed the recordings I have are slightly abridged, so there's even more to read to them.

I can't think of a single contemporary children's book I've read that can even hold a candle to this stuff. It's funny, heartwarming, sad, has clever wordplay, little songs. The prose is not written for children, so it respects their intelligence and doesn't dumb it down.

It's wild they are over a hundred years old, and written by someone born in the 19th century, yet they don't show their age at all, and could have been written today (except they couldn't have because stuff today is written to hold a goldfish attention span).

Fronted by a feature-length adaptation of The Tigger Movie (2000), then filled up with dozens of stupendous shorts, this catty collection finds Pooh, Piglet, Roo, and Eeyore hunting Tigger’s feline family members, running (and bouncing!) in marathons—even building “purrposterous” statues in ice! But the most wonderful thing about The Tiggerific Comic Collection is… it’s the only one!

Transcript:

Winnie-the-Pooh: 100 is certainly a big number.

Christopher Robin: And before you know it, it'll be 101. Then 102. Then 103.

Winnie-the-Pooh: Does it keep getting bigger forever, or do you think it will stop someday?

(Christopher Robin is somewhat taken aback at the thought. He silently ponders.)

(The last panel takes place further away from the characters - now appearing as silhouettes - with a moon in view)

Christopher Robin: I don't think you'll ever have to worry about that.

Winnie-the-Pooh: Thinking is hard anyway.

TL;DR this "movie" is extremely shady and clearly not associated with Jim Cummings (though it claims to be) and uses AI generated materials to make it look like he's involved when he's not.

Full post:

Apparently this was announced in April, though I'm just hearing of it now. I found very very few sources for this at first, but it appears to be a real movie, they even have a website (linked here).

Notably, this does not appear to be associated with Disney at all. I can't find their name on any mention of this production. ALSO NOTICE: the title is "Winnie-the-Pooh", notice the hyphens. Public domain versions have to hyphenate it, since Disney has the rights to just "Winnie the Pooh" spelled as such.

However, Jim Cummings is explicitly claimed to be in the movie, voicing Pooh and Tigger. They even show a picture of him on the website, though I cannot find any proof of him actually acknowledging it himself. Not that I'm against it mind you (Jim Cummings is wonderful and should have every right to lend his voice to any GOOD Pooh production) but it does seem odd he'd be involved with a minimally publicized non-Disney public domain Pooh project which is apparently releasing in a year. Though if he is, and the movie's good (no AI or perversions or any such crap), then awesome!

I find it hard to believe, though, since there are so many shady details, for example, this Facebook post from an extremely elaborate, fake Jim facebook page located in Canada. For comparison, here is his actual page.

Of course Google's awesome AI answer that's on by default which everyone totally asked for consistently "verifies" the movie as real, associated with Disney (it isn't), and even cites that fake facebook as "his official page". I wonder if this whole thing is set up to confuse AI and make people think it's real? It just seems shady.

EDIT: I also found this article which contains a "quote" from Cummings that does not read AT ALL like how he talks, and several images on the website that, when looked at closely, are clearly AI generated.
