Pooh's Heffalump Movie -- The Official Movie Website
It has occurred to me that although the "theme" of my website is Winnie the Pooh (and friends) and I may use Pooh graphics to decorate my pages, I really didn't have much about Pooh on the site. So, since I've been checking out some Pooh sites, I thought the least I could do is list my favorite sites as a start and then see what else I can do on this page.
I guess a little background is in order as well. I'm not sure when I became the Pooh devotee I am now. I used to read the stories to my children when they were little. Billy really enjoyed the Peter Rabbit story but was disappointed that there were no sequels. He used to ask me what happened to Peter Rabbit after the story. So, he really enjoyed Pooh stories because there were more stories to read after the first one. I suppose that the Disney connection probably fed my obsession as I love Disney characters. Gradually, as Disney Store became a favorite place for me, I began collecting Pooh things, mostly clothing to start, moving onto other little doodads, mostly for the kitchen. My kitchen is Pooh heaven. I have everything you could possibly imagine...salt and pepper shakers, cookie jar, tea pot, spoon rest, hand soap dispenser, potholders, juice glasses etc.... I even have a Pooh and Tigger waffle maker. The best. Anything I couldn't find with Pooh, I made myself, such as a painted floor cloth in front of the sink and a painted napkin holder. I also have stuffed Poohs in the bedroom and even a little wind chime. I think all of my pajamas are Pooh jammies and my big warm winter robe is also a Pooh item. Pooh beanbag dolls even decorate my car and I recently got a Pooh floor mat for the front driver's side. It might have gotten a little out of hand but I guess it's part of my identity now. Kelly and I were the only two people in the movie theatre on a Thursday evening watching The Tigger Movie a few years ago. We had a great time!
The original toys owned by Christopher Robin
Milne (from left Pooh, Kanga, Piglet, Eeyore and Tigger). I believe Roo
was lost or possibly destroyed by a family pet. I don't remember exactly
what happened but Roo is not with the collection of toys, which is now on
display at a branch of the New York Public Library in Manhattan.
Here's my kitchen floorcloth:
I found the drawing on the internet, drew it onto canvas and painted it.
It's in front of my sink.
Also, a comment on the color combination here (and elsewhere on this site), purple is my favorite color. Just thought I should mention that!
So, here goes, my favorite Pooh sites:
Just
Pooh.com This is a really cute site. I love the way the pages
look like a book and the drawing on the front page. It has a great history
section and I really enjoy the little animated pictures on the pages. The
information about the real Hundred Acre Wood is really interesting as well.
It's just a really nice, well put together site. Very informative for the
Pooh fan.
The Page at Pooh Corner
I spent a lot of time exploring this site. It caught my interest at first
because it was put together by a young man named James Milne, although it does
not appear that there is any relation. This is a really nice website with
a great biographical section on Christopher Robin. Mr. Milne has done lots
of research here and I enjoyed reading this information quite a bit.
There's lots of information about the background of the stories, the toys
themselves and the area where Christopher Robin grew up and where the stories
took place.
Pooh the Bear - A site about Winnie the Pooh and friends
and
Judiths Winnie the Pooh page are both very cute, although the ads make the
pages very busy. In fact, when I first clicked on Judith's page, the ad
featured a huge cockroach, which might tend to frighten younger visitors to the
webpage! Still, both sites are very extensive with lots of features
including games, coloring pages, pictures and even recipes. Obviously,
lots of work went into these pages.
Winnie the Pooh - The Official Website Yes, Pooh actually has his own
official website at disney.go.com, the very extensive Disney
website. It's very cute. You can click on each character to find
different goodies, coloring pages, games and things. You can also buy
videos through the site, since it is a Disney site.
