Back in 1926, a celebrated playwright named Alan Alexander Milne wrote a story about his son Christopher Robin\u2019s games with his favourite toy bear in the forest outside their East Sussex home.<\/p>\n

He was not to know his creation would turn into a cultural behemoth that would become his lasting legacy, overshadow the life of his son, and turn into a huge merchandising business which, nearly 90 years later, is still worth more than \u00a3500\u2009million a year.<\/p>\n

The bear is, of course, Winnie the Pooh, the honey-obsessed bear \u2018of little brain\u2019 who, along with his friends including Tigger, Roo, Piglet, Eeyore and Kanga, is even more popular now than when Milne first penned those stories about his son.<\/p>\n

\n\"Return<\/p>\n

Return to a simpler time: Winnie The Pooh will remain hand drawn and not computer animated<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Winnie has for the last 40-odd years been primarily the property of Disney. While the Milne books were already popular around the world, Disney\u2019s short films featuring the bear in 1964 made him a global phenomenon. Today, you can get everything from Pooh shower caps to toasters; yoghurts to money boxes; iPhone apps to chopsticks. <\/p>\n

No wonder Disney boss John Lasseter immediately commissioned a new Pooh film after getting the job as animation chief at the studio.<\/p>\n

\n\"Age<\/p>\n

Age of innocence: Winnie the Pooh’s gentle stories about friendship will strike a chord with every generation <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Winnie the Pooh, the movie, has been two years in the making and its bosses have gone very much back to basics. <\/p>\n

The film-makers spent a week in Ashdown Forest in East Sussex \u2014 in the book it is nicknamed the Hundred Acre Wood \u2014 where Christopher Robin Milne spent his summers with his parents making up adventures to have with his stuffed toys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
