Me too, Karen! I have to wait, but I will certainly be watching it. So many wonderful memories of Winnie the Pooh, the silly old bear!

I've just recently found out pooh is a girl?
Really??? Oh, now I remember...Winnie was a bear that was donated to the London zoo by a Canadian soldier (a veterinarian from Winnipeg Manitoba Canada) in 1915. He purchased the bear at a train station for $20 as he was passing through Ontario on his way to England. A. A. Milne took his son Christopher Robin to the zoo which named the bear Winnie. She was female. Later Christopher named his teddy bear Pooh. From that inspiration came the story about Christopher Robin, Winnie the Pooh and his friends in the 100 Acre Woods.
