Discover the Pooh meaning of friendship with a Character Statuette that replicates his larger-than-life "poohsonality". Diane Disney introduced her father, Walt Disney, to A.A. Milne's whimsical tales of Winnie the Pooh. Walt obtained the film rights in the early 1960s, and the first featurette, Winnie the Pooh and the Hunny Tree premiered in 1966. Since that time he has starred in 7 films and over 30 videos. As a Winnie the Pooh Character Statuette from Master Replicas, Pooh's personality is replicated in every detail, making him a sweet reminder of the wonder of friendship for all ages. The warmth, whimsy and humorous wisdom of Winnie the Pooh were introduced to Walt Disney by his daughter Diane, who loved the beguiling books written by A. A. Milne and illustrated by E. H. Shepherd. Walt sought to obtain film rights as early as 1937, and secured them in 1961. As film production began, Walt Disney directed his animators to maintain the whimsical style of Milne and Shepherd, but to give Pooh more definition on screen. So, Disney artists made a red t-shirt part of Pooh's permanent design. Today, it's his signature apparel and to all who love him, a symbol of his cheery friendly nature. Pooh's first featurette, Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree debuted in 1966. Since that time, Pooh and his friends have starred in 7 films and over 30 videos and are known worldwide as ambassadors of friendship. Master Replicas is proud to offer this special Winnie the Pooh Character Statuette replicating his personality in larger-than-life detail as part of the Walt Disney Showcase Collection. It's a sweet reminder of the wonder of friendship, no matter what your age.  Features: Character statuette sculpted in resin Created from original Disney concept art Individually numbered by hand Certificate of Authenticity Limited Edition of 3000 Winnie the Pooh character scene measures approximately 20.75" x 16" x 14.5"
