Noticeboard Banner

[Kojak]

I see we have an A.A. Milne invasion on the Noticeboard banner. Does Pachos serve honey?

Get it right Kojak... It is the Disney (ba******ised) version, not the original

I quite agree, Peter, but is there any part of children's classics that Disney hasn't had it's corporate hands on? Everything they do is dumbed down and Hollywooded up!

The sad thing about Winnie the Pooh is that the Milne family actually handed it all to Disney on a plate.

Not too bad for the Milne Family though...From Wikepedia:
On January 6, 1930, Stephen Slesinger purchased U.S. and Canadian merchandising, television, recording and other trade rights to the "Winnie-the-Pooh" works from Milne for a $1000 advance and 66% of Slesinger's income, creating the modern licensing industry. By November 1931, Pooh was a $50 million-a-year business.[9] Slesinger marketed Pooh and his friends for more than 30 years, creating the first Pooh doll, record, board game, puzzle, US radio broadcast (NBC), animation, and motion picture film.[10] In 1961, Disney acquired rights from Slesinger to produce articles of merchandise based on characters from its feature animation.
