Created by British author A.A. Milne in the 1920s, Winnie the Pooh (then spelled with hyphens, Winnie-the-Pooh) was an instant success. Milne based the characters on his son, Christopher Robin, his stuffed animals—Winnie the Pooh and friends Piglet, Eeyore, Kanga, Roo and Tigger—and their country home in England’s Ashdown Forest. Disney bought the rights to Winnie the Pooh in 1961, introducing even more children to the cheerful bear and his love of the simple joys of life. Here, warm your heart with some of the Hundred Acre Woods gang’s best quotes from the Winnie the Pooh books, movies and television shows.
