But what we really want to know is if she's a lesbian.

Probably a hunter in the woods who is hunting bear but his shot misses horribly.

This is a bad move. Purists like me love Christopher Robin, and will except no substitute.

Tut, tut. It looks like rain.

From the headline I thought they were giving him a "girlfriend".

As far as I'm concerned, Winnie the Pooh died with Sterling Holloway.

And Tigger died with Paul Winchell.

My first thought was maybe they think Christopher was a little too "white".

these timeless characters really needed a breath of fresh air that only the introduction of someone new could provide

Are we doing the "new coke" change with Winnie the Pooh?

Don't these grown up b@7*@#%s understand that children do NOT like change? Too much changes in a child's life as it is. Changes in a child's life NEED to be weighed against things that don't change. Winnie the Pooh does not need to change. The grown ups need to return to their childhoods.

Look, its been all over since they made Eeyore smile.

I epecially like the statement about "Timeless" characters needing to be "Updated"...

To make the story appealing to a younger, hipper audience, they are introducing a new character -

Snoop Doggy Pooh
