The adorable chubby bear’s back with a new adventure that feels decidedly old-school. Jim Cummings even returns to voice Winnie the Pooh.
The voice cast also includes Craig Ferguson as Owl, Tom Kenny as Rabbit, Travis Oates as Piglet, Bud Luckey as Eeyore, and Jack Boulter as Christopher Robin. Kristen Anderson-Lopez voices Kanga, Wyatt Dean Hall is Roo, Huell Howser is Backson, and John Cleese is the narrator.
Stephen J. Anderson and Don Hall directed the family-friendly G-rated animated film. Winnie the Pooh is set to open in theaters on July 15, 2011.
Official Synopsis: 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.
