The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Actor Allusion: In "Sham Pooh," a mix up leads to all the characters acting like each other. Owl winds up thinking he's Pooh and acting like the real deal, which isn't too much of a stretch for his voice actor as Hal Smith was Pooh's voice actor as well in the early 1980's. Smith does do a pretty good job of differentiating his voice for Owl-as-Pooh compared to the regular one he used for Pooh.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: A few episodes are available on the Growing Up With Winnie The Pooh DVDs and many VHS tapes contained episodes of the series back when that format was commonplace, but the vast majority of the series remains difficult to find.
  • The Other Darrin: Halfway through the show's run, Jim Cummings, already voicing Pooh, replaced Paul Winchell as Tigger as well (note that Winchell was very much still alive at that point and even returned to voice Tigger in Pooh's Grand Adventure). Allegedly, Hal Smith also provided some odd voice work for Pooh for the series (having previous voiced him in A Day For Eeyore).
