Winnie the Pooh (film)

Winnie the Pooh is an upcoming traditionally animated feature film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios. Production began in late 2009, and the film is scheduled for release on July 15, 2011, counterprograming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 in 3D.

Based upon the characters of the children's books Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner by A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh will feature two previously unadapted stories from the original books, in the same style as previous Disney-produced Winnie the Pooh featurettes such as Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree and Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too!.

The film is being directed by Stephen Anderson and Don Hall and produced by Clark Spencer, with John Lasseter as executive producer. Burny Mattinson, a Disney veteran who worked on several of the previous Pooh films, is serving as lead storyboard artist. .

The voice cast includes Jim Cummings as Winnie-the-Pooh and Tigger, Tom Kenny as Rabbit, and Craig Ferguson as Owl.

The supervising animators on the film include Mark Henn (Pooh), Bruce W. Smith (Piglet, Kanga, Roo), Andreas Deja (Tigger), Eric Goldberg (Rabbit), Dale Baer(Owl), Glen Keane (Christopher Robin), and Randy Haycock (Eeyore).

The film was scored by Henry Jackman with additional music by Christopher Willis[22] with Robert Lopez and his wife Kristen Anderson-Lopez[18] contributing seven new songs for the film, and Zooey Deschanel sung a new version of The Sherman Brothers' "Winnie the Pooh" theme.[23] In the Latin American version of the film, the song is sung by Danna Paola.
