Poor Pooh

They are taking Christopher Robin away from Winnie the Pooh and replacing him with a girl. Why do people always have to @#%! with things? It was fine for 8o years, just leave it alone. If they are going to change it...they could have put Pooh with Stan from South Park. That would be hot!

The Walt Disney Company has decided to pair Pooh up with a red-haired six-year-old tomboy for its 2007 series, newspaper USA Today reported.

Preston Kevin Lewis, director of the Pooh franchise, told Reuters: "Trust, friendship and happiness - Pooh doesn't lose any of those things, it just changes how we talk about him."

But that is unlikely to please Pooh purists, who can point out that the original stories were written specifically for Milne's son, Christopher Robin Milne.
