Winnie the Pooh. Winnie the Pooh...is coming to theatres on July 15, 2011 with a crisp look, exciting adventures, and fun new songs for the whole family to enjoy.
Slashfilm got their hands on a couple pictures from the upcoming Winnie the Pooh as well as the first theatrical trailer. While I've not always been a huge fan of the bear himself, I have loved so many of the other characters since I was a young child. Eeyore, Tigger, Owl, and the rest of the gang from the Hundred Acre Woods look to be drawn much cleaner but still in their wonderful and original style.

The trailer then turns out to be just as good and quite heart-warming. There is no CGI or anything like that. Just old school hand-drawn Disney animation of A.A. Milne's classic characters. One of the original animators for 1974's Winnie the Pooh and Disney veteran Burney Mattinson is serving as senior animator on the film.
The first full-length trailer for Winnie the Pooh
Walt Disney Animation Studios returns to the Hundred Acre Wood with “Winnie the Pooh,” 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. “Well a tail is either there or it isn’t there,” said Pooh. “And yours isn’t… there.” Owl sends the whole gang on a wild quest to save Christopher Robin from an imaginary culprit. It turns out to be a very busy day for a bear who simply set out to find some hunny. Inspired by five stories from A.A. Milne’s books in Disney’s classic, hand-drawn art style, “Winnie the Pooh” hits theaters July 15, 2011.
The cast for Winnie the Pooh consists of Jim Cummings (Pooh and Tigger), Craig Ferguson (Owl), Tom Kenny (Rabbit), Travis Oates, and Bud Luckey providing their voices. Zooey Deschanel sings a new version of the Pooh theme.
