Trying to do some Pooh math and not having much luck.....

[LynniethePooh]

I don't know if I am just not getting this or what I am missing here.......but the Gallery Store Collection of those classic Poohs. It says 75th anniversary......my question 75th Anniversary of WHAT? Not of Pooh, that much I know.....
I know once someone tells me I will feel like a big dummy....but the brain just won't let me figure this one out!
HELP!

According to Barnes & Noble, who is selling a 75th Anniv. edition of the complete tales of Winnie the Pooh,
"In 1926, the world was introduced to a portly little bear named Winnie-the-Pooh. "

I'm not a Pooh aficionado, though, and they could be wrong.

hmmmmmm seems I need to do some research here..........I am thinking Disney introduced Pooh in the 60's but Milne originally wrote the stories in the 20's? Not sure.......

You are correct Dar. Although Disney did not make Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree until 1966 the original story that the featurette was based on was first published in 1926.

Well I should be ashamed!! A Pooh fan and I did not realize.......told you I would feel like big dummy when I found out the truth!!!!!
Thanks for your help dear Pin friends!
Can I still keep my name?

you need to study up on your pooh facts. Pooh was around along time before Disney found him. Shame, shame, shame ! Only kidding....you can't know everything.
