Pooh - based on the bedtime stories by Alan Alexander (AA) Milne - first appeared in the London Evening News on Christmas Eve 1925 in a story called The Wrong Sort of Bees.
Yes, well, Disney's ability to take any story you actually enjoy reading to your children and turn it into something that makes Barney almost seem preferable is well documented. I can only hope that the Milne estate made a shitload of cash out of it.
A little extra weight has its uses. Have somemore pie and Merry Christmas to you.
