</center>

BURBANK, Calif., December 11, 2003 – Disney’s classic tradition of great storytelling
continues with the all-new full-length feature, <b>WINNIE THE POOH: SPRINGTIME WITH
ROO</b>, premiering only on Disney DVD and video on March 9, 2004 from Walt Disney Home
Entertainment. Starring Winnie The Pooh, Tigger, Roo and all their pals, <b>WINNIE THE
POOH: SPRINGTIME WITH ROO</b> is a spectacular springtime adventure that celebrates the
magic of the season and the true meaning of friendship. Just in time for the Easter holidays, this
joyous animated tale features five delightful new songs and all the Hundred Acre Wood
characters that families love.

On Disney DVD, <b>WINNIE THE POOH: SPRINGTIME WITH ROO</b> offers many eggsclusive
bonus materials that are just right for young children. Kids can help decorate Rabbit’s
house, make a colorful butterfly, and more (see attached for details). Available on Disney DVD
for $29.99 (S.R.P.) and on VHS for $22.99 (S.R.P.).

In <b>WINNIE THE POOH: SPRINGTIME WITH ROO</b> the bees are buzzing, the flowers are
blooming and the Hundred Acre Wood is bursting with excitement – it’s Springtime, and all Roo,
Pooh and Tigger can think about is Easter. Every year Rabbit plays Easter bunny, but not this
year. No bunny means no honey for Pooh, no Eastery egg hung for tiger, no basket for Piglet, no
fluffy bunny ears for Eeyore, and no fun for Roo. Rabbit expects them to spring into action
scrubbing, sweeping, dusting and mopping instead! Why, oh why has Rabbit changed from a
happy Easter Bunny into a grumpy, grouchy, “Scrooge?” To solve the mystery Roo, with a
heaping helping of love and wisdom, helps Rabbit discover that special days are to be shared in
special ways.

On Disney DVD, <b>WINNIE THE POOH: SPRINGTIME WITH ROO</b> includes the bonus
materials:

• Sounds of Spring
<i>Select from three springtime scenes: The Hundred Acre Wood, Rabbit’s Garden and The
Easter Party. Once a scene is selected, preschoolers will enjoy clicking around the scene
and hearing what they click on – a bee hive, a frog on a lily pad, and more.</i>

• Decorate Rabbit’s House
<i>Help Rabbit put his house in order in this fun activity. Rabbit has a lot of things that
need to be put away. Can you help him put things in the right place?</i>

• Disney’s Art Project
<i>Learn how to make a butterfly – from household objects. Perfect for preschoolers.</i>

this pooh movie sounds alright. somehow Disney is treating it like it was going to theaters first just like the way they advertise on the Lion King 1&1/2 trailer making it sound like the movie was coming to theaters first.

This movie looks exceptionally boring and so do the games. Gag.
