'Winnie The Pooh' is a fictional character who we find in the books written by A. A. Milne and illustrated by E. H. Shepard.

'Winnie The Pooh' has also been made into cartoons by Disney. Keep reading to find out Winnie the Pooh's favorite saying and what he has to say about love.

The protagonist, Winnie the Pooh, was named by Milne after a soft toy owned by his son, Christopher Robin Milne, on whom the Christopher Robin character was based. The rest of Christopher Robin's toys, Piglet, Eeyore, Kanga, Roo, and Tigger, were integrated into Milne's stories.

Milne's creativity generated two more creatures, Owl and Bunny, while Gopher was introduced to the Disney version. On view at the Main Branch of the New York Public Library in New York City is Christopher Robin's toy bear.

A. A. Milne named Winnie after a Canadian black bear he had always seen at the London Zoo, and Pooh, a swan he had met while on vacation.

The first series of narrative stories was the book 'Winnie The Pooh' (1926), and 'The House At Pooh Corner' followed it (1928). In the kid's poetry book 'When We Were Very Young' (1924), Milne also published a verse about the bear, and much more in 'Now We Are Six' (1927).

The four volumes have all been illustrated by E. H. Shepard.

Walt Disney Productions licensed certain movies and other rights from the inheritance in 1961 for Milne's 'Winnie-the-Pooh' stories. A. A. Milne and licensing agent Stephen Slesinger, Inc. adapted the Pooh stories into a collection of features that would ultimately become one of their most popular franchises, using the unhyphenated form 'Winnie the Pooh'.

Pooh has been dubbed by celebrities Sterling Holloway, Hal Smith, and Jim Cummings in English, and Yevgeny Leonov in Russian, in common film adaptations.
