I'm not even going to start the rant about my intense hatred of the Disney illustrations compared to E.H. Shepard's elegant originals, since it's a bit of a long one. I agree wholeheartedly, as might be expected.
I could get distressed by Disney's latest stripmining of other people's culture and ideas, but I think the most sensible approach is to just not regard the Disney versions as having anything to do with the works of A.A. Milne, but to continue cherishing the latter for the qualities they have. Disney have made a few short films containing characters with familiar names and passing resemblances to Pooh, Piglet, et al, but these should not be considered to have any connection with the real Winnie the Pooh stories written by Milne.
These are not the stories you're looking for. Move along. Nothing to see here.
