History Trivia / TheNewAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh

** The show's team sought out as many reprises from the original film as they could. Sterling Holloway (Pooh's original voice actor) did an early try-out, but was deemed too aged to replicate the voice anymore.

** The entire series has in fact been remastered in HD format, though only particular countries such as Russia, Japan and Germany have saw a proper rerelease. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OgXKu_238c As shown here.]]

** Rescued in fall 2019 when the series was made available on Creator/DisneyPlus. It's even shown in its remastered high-definition format! ''Christmas Too'' is not available in standalone format, instead repackaged as part of ''A Very Merry Pooh Year''.
* LongRunner: It actually lasted longer in reruns than it did during its first run. It started on The Disney Channel on January 17, 1988 and ran until April 10, 1988. It then moved to ABC in first-run from September 10, 1988 until October 26, 1991 (during the 1989-90 season it was paired up with the newly-moved-networks ''[[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGummiBears Gummi Bears]]'' as the ''Gummi Bears/Winnie-The-Pooh Hour''), then aired reruns until September 4, 1993. Reruns then started airing on ABC again on December 9, 1995, lasting through the entirety of the ''Creator/OneSaturdayMorning'' block (mostly to fulfill E/I requirements, however), continuing until that block's end on September 7, 2002 (with only a small break during the fall of the 1996-97 season). And of course there were the seemingly endless amounts of Pooh-related VHS tapes released during the 90s, reruns on the Creator/DisneyChannel from October 3, 1994 until September 1, 2006, and on Creator/ToonDisney from April 1998 until November 2007, and multiple package films made of spliced together episodes of the show released up till the early 2000s, to the point it probably made more than one casual observer think the show lasted '''way''' longer than it actually did.

* DoItYourselfThemeTune: Creator/{{Jim Cummings|1952}} also took a turn [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pblJhXr1Qms singing the theme]].

** Averted as of fall 2019, as the series has been included on Creator/DisneyPlus. It's even shown in its remastered high-definition format! ''Christmas Too'' remains unavailable except as part of ''A Very Merry Pooh Year''.

* TalkingToHimself: Seen in the third and fourth seasons when Jim Cummings, already voicing Pooh, took over voicing Tigger.
** Besides this, some of the minor characters are also voiced by Cummings, usually the one shot characters such as Crud, Wooster, or Nasty Jack. Most of the other voices are sped up much like Chip 'n' Dale, including the bees, the bugs, and the Pack Rats, and the one instant that isn't being the Crows, after a single performance in the first season.

** After being voiced by Phil Baron in ''Series/WelcomeToPoohCorner'', John Feidler returns to voice Piglet from here until his death in 2005.

** Before the pilot episode,''Pooh Oughta Be in Pictures'', was broadcast, there were plans for a Winnie the Pooh movie, its script penned by Linda Woolverton. For reasons unknown, the project was ultimately shelved. Funnily enough, the aforementioned episode was about the characters going to a movie theater and deciding to make their own movie.

* RoleReprise: John Fiedler, Paul Winchell, and Hal Smith all reprise their roles as Piglet, Tigger and Owl respectively from the original shorts and original film almost two decades before. Smith does not reprise his previous role as Pooh however, the role inherited by Jim Cummings from this show onward.

* DoItYourselfThemeTune: Jim Cummings also took a turn [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pblJhXr1Qms singing the theme]].

* TheOtherDarrin: By the time the third season began production, Creator/JimCummings, already voicing Pooh, replaced Creator/PaulWinchell as Tigger, reportedly due to Winchell's declining health[[note]]Winchell returned to voice Tigger in both ''Winnie the Pooh, and Christmas Too!'' and ''Pooh's Grand Adventure'', and continued voicing Tigger on occasions until his retirement in 1999 as his health worsened[[/note]]. Cummings also filled in for Winchell in odd episodes of the previous seasons starting with "King Of The Beasties", so that (according to Cummings) Winchell could continue his humanitarian work in Africa.
** Cummings, meanwhile, starting with this series, inherited the role of Pooh from Creator/SterlingHolloway (who voiced Pooh in the original featurettes), who declined to reprise his role for retirement and health reasons (Holloway would die in 1992, the year after ''New Adventures'' aired its last episode). Similarly, Ken Sansom was cast as Rabbit (replacing Will Ryan) and Peter Cullen was cast as Eeyore.
** Reportedly, during times where Cummings couldn't show up, Hal Smith also provided some odd voice work for Pooh for the series (having previously voiced him in ''Series/WelcomeToPoohCorner'' and ''A Day For Eeyore'').

* StarMakingRole: Creator/JimCummings had been doing voice work for several years by now, but this marked his first starring role in a cartoon. Pooh and (trading off with Paul Winchell) Tigger, along with his roles as [[WesternAnimation/TaleSpin Don Karnage]] and WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck in the next few years, would catapult him to A-List voice actor status.

* NoExportForYou: Believe it or not, the show actually got a ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_DF7WjKE2o full HD remaster]]'' (two versions, one with a 16:9 crop and the other in its' original 4:3 aspect ratio)...which Disney has been shockingly quiet about. It's aired in a few foreign markets including Germany, Japan, Croatia, and the Czech Republic, but it took a few years for it to show up in ''its' own country''... at least until Creator/DisneyPlus started up and included the restored version of the series. Regardless, it's pretty shocking that they would be so quiet and secretive over such a restoration.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: According to Creator/DisneyTelevisionAnimation developer Michael Peraza, [[ExecutiveMeddling higher ups]] suggested a series where Pooh and co. live in New York City and solve mysteries. Peraza's [[SarcasmMode response]] was, "Does he have a [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Scooby van]] or something to go with it?"

** Two episodes, "Pooh Oughta Be in Pictures" and "Cleanliness is Next to Impossible", are only available on long-out-of-print Region 2 videotapes, and another two, "To Bee or Not to Bee" and "Sorry, Wrong Slusher", are unavailable on home video in any format, the latter most likely due to its [[DarkerAndEdgier disturbing subject matter]].

There is potential Disney is saving it for their streaming service, but it's pretty shocking that they would be so quiet and secretive over such a restoration.

** Some miscellaneous ''Winnie the Pooh'' [=DVDs=] have episodes of ''The New Adventures'' as bonus features, but at least one of those [=DVDs=] -- ''Disney/TheTiggerMovie'' 10th Anniversary Edition, usurped in 2012 by the DVD included in the "Bounce-a-Riffic Special Edition" Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack -- has gone out of print.
