What parents need to know
Parents need to know that Disney's late-'80s incarnation of the well-known yellow bear was a big hit with kids and families. All of the original characters appear -- Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit, Eeyore, and Owl -- allowing the show to stick to the same themes as the original cartoons, but with new adventures and songs. Lessons are kid-friendly and relevant to the age group.
What's the story?
THE NEW ADVENTURES OF WINNIE THE POOH is based on A.A. Milne's Pooh character and Pooh's well-known animal friends who live together in the Hundred Acre Wood.
Is it any good?
Although these are supposed to be the "new" adventures, the lessons are just as classic and time-tested as the characters. Kids will be drawn to these characters because their personalities are so distinct: Pooh (voiced by Jim Cummings) is still simple and loves "hunny"; Eeyore (Peter Cullen) is still charming in a self-effacing sort of way; Rabbit (Ken Sansom) is still a little stand-offish and impatient.
The only hints at newness occasionally appear in the dialogue. For example, in one episode Tigger (Paul Winchell) remarked to viewers that he thought another animal was "one taco short of a combination plate." These touches probably make the show a little more relatable to today's generation, but the messages -- such as the importance of friendship, sharing, and believing in yourself -- will always hold up.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about the series and the lasting impact Winnie has had on several generations. What is it about these characters and their situations that continue to draw kids and families? Who do kids identify with most? When they feel sad like Eeyore, what do they do?

Winnie the Pooh where are you!?
The cutest and most inoccent show i've ever seen! Where on Earth did it go? It's a true classic Disney! How dare they take it off! They don't even show it on ToonDisney! Oh, wait, infact there IS no ToonDisney anymore! It's just a bunch of skater junk! I am getting confused. I want Winnie The Pooh back, and I heard just cuz he's got the word "Pooh" in his name, people think its nasty, only those with gutter minds think that's what it is about. Any word can have a good meaning, just like any person, anyrhing can have a good meaning. I want this show back. And I want real Disney back.

Love This Show
This half hour show may not be faithful to the classic, but it is very enjoyable. Somebody always learns a lesson, friendships are always important, and these guys seem to get into more trouble than any group of toddlers. Start watching around three or four, but can be enjoyed for years.

I miss it
People need to grow up on the Pooh deal, get your minds out of the gutter. Plus, I think its cute and intertaning, its better than all of the junk they try to pull off as 'shows' Infact if it was on Disney today, it would be the only kid friendly thing on.

A Disney Classic
It was a really sweet show I use to watch when it was on, I miss it so much and it would be perfect for the younger kids in my family. Rabbit can be a little snappy, but only if something goes wrong and he gets stressed, and there's really nothing bad about this show. It was kid friendly and everyone was pretty nice to eachother.
