Jim Cummings Interview - Winnie the Pooh

Walt Disney Animation Studios returns to the Hundred Acre Wood with the new movie Winnie the Pooh! It has a timeless charm, with and is whimsy of the original featurettes. This all new movie reunites audiences with the philosophical "bear of very little brain" and friends Tigger, Rabbit, Piglet, Own, Kanga and Roo.

I was fortunate enough to sit in on a round table session with Jim Cummings last month, the voice of Winnie the Pooh. Winnie the Pooh is a self-described "bear of very little brain," but the loveable bear who's stuffed with fluff has an uncommon, clear-eyed philosphy that's amired worldwide.

Pooh is always willing to lend a helping paw - and he's more than happy to share a jar of honey with anyone who's interested. Indeed, Winnie the Pooh has an endless craving for honey or a "smackerel" of whatever is at hand to soothe that insatiable "rumbly in his tumbly."
