History Franchise / WinnieThePooh

* TheMerch: Throughout the years, Pooh has been placed on numerous features and had his face slapped nearly every possible form of toys and merchandise. That said the majority of it is at least considered better handled than Disney's [[{{Sequelitis}} usual attempts at rehashing a success]].

* There was a comic magazine with ''Winnie-the-Pooh'' stories (with the name of Disney attached) published by Gold Key Comics from 1977 to 1984; its [[http://www.sanomamagazines.fi/mediaopas/kohderyhmat-ja-lehdet/lehdet/nalle-puh.html Finnish equivalent]] started in 1981 and is still ongoing as of 2014 -- who knows where their material now comes from. The stories were similar to the Disney cartoon episodes but more restrained, with less zany and fantastic themes. [[http://www.comicvine.com/winnie-the-pooh/29-32037/ Unsurprisingly, the characters have made other comic appearances as well.]]

There are also numerous DirectToVideo movies that share canon with the movies above, too many to list here -- [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Winnie-the-Pooh_films The Other Wiki has a more exhaustive list]]. Films that have their own page on this wiki are:

* ''WesternAnimation/PoohsGrandAdventure'' (1997): Disney's third Direct-to-Video sequel ever. Iit follows Pooh and friends heading out on a dangerous mission to rescue Robin, and is [[DarkerAndEdgier scarier and more intense]] than its predecessors.

!!!''VinniPukh'' (Soviet shorts)

[[Animation/VinniePuhk Russian cartoons]] were independently released and contained a totally different art style.

'''DisneyAnimatedCanon'''

'''Other theatrical films'''[[note]]They were produced by Disney's DTV/television animation squad, but were theatrically released (as opposed to most DTVs) because of the franchise's popularity. However, they aren't part of the DisneyAnimatedCanon.[[/note]]

* ''TheNewAbridgedAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh''

[[SovietWinnieThePoohShorts Russian cartoons]] were independently released and contained a totally different art style.

Pooh, [[TheWikiRule of course]], has a Wiki, which you can find at: [[http://pooh.wikia.com/ http://pooh.wikia.com/]]

* ''VideoGame/WinnieThePoohsHomeRunDerby'' (2008, Browser). Achieved Memetic status in 2013 due to being NintendoHard.

* NoHuggingNoKissing: Sweet friendship moments? By all means. Actual romantic implications? ...It's frowned upon, at least by the fans. But justified; it just wouldn't seem right for a series about childhood innocence to dive into anything too serious.
** Do you guys even realize that Rabbit and Piglet are male? That makes nearly the ''entire'' cast male, and gay relationships...aren't exactly popular in kids shows.
** Played with in an episode of ''New Adventures'' where Tigger and Kanga (the one who ''is'' a girl) are intended to play lovers in a Valentine's Day play. Tigger would much rather bounce Kanga than kiss her.

** ''KingdomHearts'' Chain of Memories onward credits Tigger as having appeared in ''The Honey Tree'', instead of ''The Blustery Day''.
*** Though likely an research blunder, this may chain into the fact that Tigger appears in flashbacks prior to ''The Blustery Day'' in later features. According to ''Piglet's Big Movie'' he was friends with Pooh before Kanga and Roo moved in, despite appearing in ''The Honey Tree'' before Tigger debut.

** The new 2011 movie has been confirmed to follow in the footsteps of ''Many Adventures''.

* ''Disney/PigletsBigMovie'' (2003): Follows [[EnsembleDarkhorse Piglet]] on his journey to get more respect from the others. While it's mostly an original story like ''Tigger'', one of the plot points was taken from the books (and is arguably the best thing about the movie).

* LiteraryNecrophilia: A sequel written after 83 years of the original.

* LiteraryNercophilia: A sequel written after 83 years of the original.

* ''WesternAnimation/PoohsGrandAdventure'' (1997): Disney's third Direct-to-Video sequel ever. The only DTV Pooh sequel that really tried,[[note]]It had a real story and plot and doesn't "feel" like a cash-in as the more cheaply produced other DTV sequels will make you feel[[/note]] it follows Pooh and friends heading out on a dangerous mission to rescue Robin, and is surprisingly [[DarkerAndEdgier scarier and more intense]] than its predecessors and successors.

* [[ABoyAndHisX A Boy and His Bear]]

->[[spoiler: '''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda Ganon:]]''' '''[[HijackedByGanon Where do you think]] [[SelfDemonstratingArticle all these examples came from?]]''']]

----"''So they went off together. But wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on the top of the forest a little boy and his bear will always be playing.''"

* [[ABoyAndHisDog A Boy and His Bear]]

* YetAnotherChristmasCarol: Rabbit plays what is essentially an Easter variant of this in ''Springtime for Roo''.

* ''TheTiggerMovie'' (2000): An original story starring [[BreakoutCharacter Tigger]] as the main character.
* ''PigletsBigMovie'' (2003): Follows [[EnsembleDarkhorse Piglet]] on his journey to get more respect from the others. While it's mostly an original story like ''Tigger'', one of the plot points was taken from the books (and is arguably the best thing about the movie).
* ''PoohsHeffalumpMovie'' (2005): A more action-like departure for the franchise following [[KidAppealCharacter Roo]]'s adventures with the [[DesignatedVillain Heffalumps]].

* ADayInTheLimelight: Multiple later features have focused on characters other than Pooh and place them as the lead characters (e.g., ''The Tigger Movie'', ''Piglet's Big Movie'', ''Springtime With Roo'').
