Trivia[]
- Pooh seems much smarter in this series, despite being of very little brain in the main franchise.
- This is the fifth television series to be based on the Winnie the Pooh franchise. The first being Welcome to Pooh Corner, the second being The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, the third being The Book of Pooh, and the fourth being My Friends Tigger & Pooh.
- It is also the third Disney Junior series to be based on the Winnie the Pooh franchise after The Book of Pooh and My Friends Tigger & Pooh.
- This marks the second time that Pooh's eyes are not black dots, the first being Welcome to Pooh Corner. It is also the only show in the franchise, where Piglet's eyes are not black dotted.
- This is the first Winnie the Pooh project released by Disney after A.A. Milne's original Pooh stories entered the public domain in 2021. However, it does not count the 2022 Disney+ film Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers, where they are shown as bootlegged characters.
- Unlike the previous shows and movies, Pooh and his friends are shown as children and are voiced by child actors instead of the adult actors, who had voiced them over the years.
- This is also the first Winnie the Pooh project from Disney where Pooh and Tigger are not voiced by Jim Cummings since Welcome to Pooh Corner.
- Also, this the first series in which Pooh and Tigger have separate voice actors instead of having the same voice actor voicing both since The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.
- Due to the adults being children in the show, this is the first show in the franchise to not feature Roo due to his mother being a child.
- Likewise, Christopher Robin is absent in this series due to the characters who were previously adults being children.
- Rabbit is portrayed as female in this series rather than male like his usual depictions. It could be a different character or a lookalike, but it is unknown.[2]
- Gopher is replaced by a female beaver named Bea.
- Eeyore is blue in this series instead of gray like in his previous appearances and his debut appearance.
- The soundtrack for its first season was released on January 11, 2024, while the one for its second season was released seven months later on August 15 of the same year.
- This is the first Winnie the Pooh series since ''My Friends Tigger & Pooh''.
