Tales of Friendship with Winnie the Pooh

Tales of Friendship with Winnie the Pooh is a Disney Junior short series inspired by the Winnie the Pooh franchise. Originally produced and broadcast on the UK Disney Junior channel where they were shown as interstitials, the series also aired in the American Disney Jr. channel as interstitials usually during nighttime hours specifically after airings of acquired Disney Junior shows such as Guess How Much I Love You and Gaspard and Lisa, both of which they have formerly aired.
==Synopsis==
The series uses a format hosted by British comedian Robert Webb as the narrator who tells the story of Winnie the Pooh and his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood where each story is set in the Hundred Acre Wood just like what happened in the original Winnie the Pooh books by A. A. Milne. Each episode would feature the narrator who tells the viewers if they are ready to meet Pooh and his friends, Christopher Robin, Eeyore, Kanga, Roo, Tigger, Rabbit, Piglet, and Owl throughout Pooh's adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood having friendships and adventures together. Unlike in other Winnie the Pooh series such as Welcome to Pooh Corner, The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, The Book of Pooh, and My Friends Tigger & Pooh which featured voice acting, this series instead features all the characters voiced by the narrator himself to give dialogue to the characters animated in a book-style format as well as combining it with live-action. The stories the narrator tells include morals and life lessons which fit the stories which the viewers learn so that they understand what the stories are all about. After narrating the story, the narrator would explain, "Hear that? Nearly bedtime in the Hundred Acre Wood", where the bedtime song, "Snug as a Bear Can Be", would begin with a family of robins sleeping in their nest above the narrator just as he sings to the viewers to get ready for bed when heard, just as the day background turns into night in which after the song, the narrator blows aways the light from the lantern he is holding just before saying "Good night" to the residents of the Hundred Acre Wood, including Winnie the Pooh.

*Christopher Robin's design from the 2011 animated film was used again in this short series, unlike his design seen in the previous pre-2011 iterations.
