Winnie the Pooh (2011 movie)

***Winnie the Pooh*** is a 2011 American animated musical movie produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. It is the 51st movie in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series. It is based on the A. A. Milne stories of the same name. In the movie, Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Rabbit, Piglet, Owl, Eeyore, Kanga and Roo go on a journey to save Christopher Robin from a menacing monster called the Backson (which Owl mistakes "back soon" on Christopher Robin's note as such). The plot of the movie was similar to Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin, but also had a sub-plot in which Eeyore finds his tail, which was based on 1 of the books.

As of 2024, Winnie the Pooh was Walt Disney Animation Studios' most recent fully hand-drawn movie and it's most recent G-rated movie. Despite this, producer Peter Del Vecho and _Frozen_ directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee confirmed in 2019 that there would be possibilities for hand-drawn feature films in the future.
