Winnie the Pooh trailer
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Re: Winnie the Pooh trailer
I actually think that Jim Cummings does a good job as Tigger. He's been doing the voice for a few years now and he sounds pretty close to Paul Wichell.

Yup.
And actually, Jim Cummings did Tigger's voice for a few projects even before Paul Winchell passed away; like for toys and The Tigger Movie. As I understand it, Paul Wichell's last gig voicing Tigger was for the Winnie the Pooh ride in WDW.
I don't know who is voicing Piglet since Fielder passed away, but whoever he is, he does a great job.
Re: Winnie the Pooh trailer
yeah, thats how he prolly learned it, people do parttime work on small projects and learn a voice. I can just see it on his resume.Disneyguy85 wrote:Yup.

Re: Winnie the Pooh trailer
John Cleese is going to be the narrator. I think he'll do a great job.
Craig Ferguson is voicing Owl. After watching the trailer, I'm not sure that was the best choice.
I am not a fan of Pooh Bear anymore, but I just might see this movie. They are going back to the original books for the story and John Lasseter has had a lot of creative input for this film.

Re: Winnie the Pooh trailer
That's true. Actually, John Lasseter has creative input with EVERY film from Disney Animation ever since he took over Disney Animation in 2007. He has been the executive producer of every film since then.dazyhill wrote:They are going back to the original books for the story and John Lasseter has had a lot of creative input for this film.
He is the chief creative officer at both Disney and Pixar Animation.
At the D23 Expo last year, John Lasseter said that the film is going to feel like a classic Pooh film, and they are using source material from the original A.A. Milne stories that has not yet been tapped into. And he stressed that the film is not just going to be for kids, that adults will be able to enjoy it as well.
