History Trivia / TheManyAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh

* RecursiveAdaptation The film is based off the ''Literature/WinnieThePooh'' children's books by A. A. Milne and the film would later receive a few children's book adaptations of its own, going full circle.

* CashCowFranchise: While the Pooh franchise is very successful generally, during the 90s, it was one of Disney's biggest franchises, outshining even Mickey Mouse. It helps that a large part of the merchandise is baby apparel and the film itself is considered the most baby-friendly of Disney's features.

* NowWhichOneWasThatVoice: With the exception of Creator/SterlingHolloway as Pooh and Creator/PaulWinchell as Tigger, the credits only list the names of the voice actors and not what characters they voiced.

!!The ride:
* NoExportForYou: Disneyland Paris is the only Disney park to not receive any kind of ''Winnie the Pooh'' attraction, which is a bit ironic, given it's the closest country to the UK, which is where the stories originally took place. Disneyland Paris would instead get a character show called ''Winnie the Pooh and Friends, Too!'', which ran from 1998 to 2011.
* TheOriginalDarrin:
** Tigger is reprised by {{Creator/Paul Winchell}} in the original Magic Kingdom version.
** After being replaced by Steve Schatzberg for the Magic Kingdom version, John Fiedler reprises his role as Piglet for the Disneyland version.
* TheOtherDarrin: Jim Cummings does Tigger in place of Paul Winchell for the Disneyland version. Oddly, Cummings does the line "Bouncing makes you feel incredibible!" in the Hong Kong Disneyland version where most of Tigger's lines are lifted from the Magic Kingdom version.
* SwanSong: The Magic Kingdom version was Paul Winchell's final performance as Tigger.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** A Winnie the Pooh ride has been planned for the parks as far back as the seventies, with one proposal being initially planned for Disneyland's New Fantasyland expansion. This fell through and Disneyland would not see Pooh til 2004.
** [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CnLkXxOXYAAyjNY.jpg Early]] [[http://jimhillmedia.com/mb/images/upload/pooh_ride_concept_whole.jpg concept art]] shows that the ride was originally planned to be a boat ride similar to ''Ride/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' at one point. This approach was ultimately scrapped in favor of a traditional dark ride due to budgetary reasons.

** When Walt Disney started production, he originally intended to adapt the stories into a feature length film. However, late in ''Honey Tree'''s production, he decided to scrap this approach and adapt the stories into short featurettes instead, as he felt it was better suited for the stories and a better way to introduce Americans to Pooh (since most were unfamiliar with the stories at the time). It wouldn't be until 1977, nearly a decade after Walt's death, that a feature film adaptation of the stories (consisting of the [[CompilationMovie previous three shorts combined]]) would be made in the form of ''The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh''. It’s unknown if ''Many Adventures'' was what Walt had originally envisioned, or if his plan was different. Leftovers of this original plan can still be seen on the [[https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BZmQ2OGZkOTQtNzJmZi00NDU3LTliNzMtOGNkN2Q5ZTMwNzU5XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNzY1NDgwNjQ@._V1_.jpg promotional]] [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c5/Winnie_the_Pooh_and_the_Honey_Tree_poster_2.jpg posters]] for ''Honey Tree'', which feature Tigger and Piglet on them — despite the two not appearing in the featurette — and the live action opening, which features the two as plushies (with Piglet getting an additional EarlyBirdCameo in the theme song).

** When Walt Disney started production on ''Winnie the Pooh'', he originally intended to adapt the property to a feature length film. However, late in ''Honey Tree'''s production, he decided to split the film into short featurettes instead, as he felt it was a better way to slowly introduce Americans to Pooh, since they were unfamiliar with the stories at the time. It wouldn't be until 1977, nearly a decade after Walt's death, that a feature film adaptation of the stories (consisting of the [[CompilationMovie previous three shorts combined]]) would be made in the form of ''The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh''.

H. Shephard design.

** Piglet and Tigger were planned to appear in ''Honey Tree'' at some point. However, the two were scrapped for unknown reasons, with Piglet's role getting taken by resident CanonForeigner Gopher instead. Piglet and Tigger would instead be saved for the second featurette, ''Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day''. Despite their removal, however, traces of them can still be seen in the final film, as plush toys of the two appear in the live-action segment in the beginning, and Piglet makes a brief cameo in the opening theme. The two also still appear in [[https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BZmQ2OGZkOTQtNzJmZi00NDU3LTliNzMtOGNkN2Q5ZTMwNzU5XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNzY1NDgwNjQ@._V1_.jpg promotional]] [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c5/Winnie_the_Pooh_and_the_Honey_Tree_poster_2.jpg posters]] for the film.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The original featurette versions from 1966-1974 have not yet received their own DVD release. They had several frequent VHS releases in the 1990s, and were last put out in 2000. When ''The Many Adventures'' came to DVD, these versions nearly ceased to exist. As of now, ''Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day'' has received only one DVD release as a bonus feature of ''WesternAnimation/PoohsGrandAdventure'' in 2006. This and ''Tigger Too'' have also re-aired (letterboxed and with restored footage) on Disney Junior at least once in 2015. ''Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree'' also had Bruce Reitherman as Christopher Robin replaced with Jon Walmsley (who originally performed him in the "Blustery Day" and "We Say Goodbye" segments) in the 1977 ''Many Adventures'' compilation film. (It also ended with a short vocal reprise of the Winnie the Pooh theme song, unlike ''Blustery Day'' and ''Tigger Too'' which both ended with (different) instrumental arrangements, the one for ''Blustery Day'' later being used for ''Many Adventures''.)

* TheOriginalDarrin: Tigger is reprised by {{Creator/Paul Winchell}} in the original Magic Kingdom version.
* TheOtherDarrin: Jim Cummings and John Fielder do Tigger and Piglet in place of Paul Winchell and Steve Schatzberg in the Disneyland version. (Oddly, Jim Cummings does the line "Bouncing makes you feel incredibible!" in the Hong Kong Disneyland version where most of Tigger's lines are lifted from the Magic Kingdom version).

** [[https://www.backstage.com/magazine/article/winnie-pooh-disney-classic-became-new-55150/ There were originally plans]] to do an theatrical rerelease of ''Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree'' alongside ''WesternAnimation/WinnieThePooh2011'', which would have featured deleted scenes from the original featurette. The project was ultimately scrapped due to Disney feeling there weren't enough deleted scenes to truly justify the rerelease and make it worthwhile.
