that one with piglet sitting in poohs spot sooo reminds me of sheldon from big bang theory, lmfao. and the one with eeyore is like lucy and charlie brown from peanuts. those comics are classic!!

This one's my favorite, lol.

How did they ever get away with this stuff?

They did not capture the Winnie the Pooh character at all. He's a real ass in these comics.

Like I said, it is not true that "everbody else" laughs at Eeyore like Pooh said in that one comic!

These were made in 1978, loooong after Walt died. He'd be rolling in his grave for sure!

Is says Spring, the US isn't getting the movie until Summer. The UK is getting it in Spring.

It says 'cinemas', Brits say cinema, an American poster would have said 'theaters'.

Aren't these comics just harmless satire? I don't think their particularly malicious, they just seem to playing on the characters' better-known traits.

I agree. Pooh's always been kind of...dumb? And he often says things the way he recognizes them to be, without meaning to hurt anyone or anything. That's the reason I thought they were hilarious.

The other pictures are kind of creepy though...

Also, about that new logo--maybe they think they'll have a chance if nobody sees the Disney name, considering how low they've brought it. Not like everyone doesn't know WtP is Disney though.

You do realize the first Pooh movie came out a year before that comic release. So that argument doesn't work.

either way, asshole Pooh is hilarious. Classic.




My pm?

Well the shorts that the movie consists of were made much earlier too. For example WTP and the Honey Tree was released 1966.

Nevertheless, I find it ridiculous and almost rude when people say "rolling in their grave". Firstly because you don't what kind of person Walt was, don't make assumptions about him or stuff your feelings into his dead body! You are undermining his integrity and using his inability to speak for himself. Secondly, we all know Disney never got buried in the first place

I see you're new on the forum. Just so you know: trying to make this point with Disney Duster is a waste of time. He claims to know what Walt would have wanted... on every issue. Welcome to the forum!

We all know, by every single person's account of him, and the man's own words, that he liked cleaner things than that "Oh Pooh/poo" comment, and we also know, from watching the very movie, that Pooh was never as mean as he is in these comics.

I repeat, when did everyone else laugh at Eeyore behind his back? It never happened. These comics are lies that don't capture the characters...

I always interpreted tha comic to be that Pooh meant that everyone laughs at themselves, but it just came out wrong since Pooh isn't exactly the sharpest pencil in the box.

The comics are satirical, spoofs, exaggerations of well-know characters. You're taking them far more seriously than they were probably ever intended to be. If you looked hard enough, you would find far more offensive material based on Disney characters than these comics.

If that is true, then the funny point of the comic is that Pooh said something stupid that ended up hurting Eeyore's feelings? Yikes. Still not the Hundred Acre Wood I know. Poor Eeyore.

DisneyAnimation, I know there's worse, but this was done within the Disney company. It's official, and yet it's making Pooh into, well, kind of an ass (plus the "Oh Poo" comment making them less clean). I know that the company has officially done some other worse things, but I talk about what I see, and the Hundred Acre Wood gang are some of Walt's most endearing, cherished, innocent characters. To see their own company do this to them...

Just let it go. There's nothing offensive about these comics, and they're nothing like the crude adult parodies of classic cartoons you'll find today. Really, they're among the very few newspaper comics that are genuinely funny.

It's harmless, adolescent humour that isn't even offensive. Are the Disney animators allowed a sense of humour? It's not a character assassination of Winnie the Pooh so perhaps you're simply taking if far more seriously than it was intended to be.

I know they can have a sense of humor. They put hunor in their movies all the time, of course. You know what I mean by using this unclean, cynical, or mean, unfitting humor on Winnie the Pooh.

But I've said all I will say, I'm not going to say anything more. The point I made about the poster and the comics has been made, and won't change unless Walt and some other people who made the original Disney version of Winnie the Pooh come back and says it's fine.
