Emily tells me that the 1966 Walt Disney featurette, Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree, is fully available for viewing online (via YouTube). If you haven’t seen it, you can check out the entire featurette here — it’s separated into 3 parts.

I didn’t know this but according to ScoutingNY the original Winnie The Pooh stuffed animals used to be housed at the Donnell Library. But now that the Donnell Library is closed, the collection of stuffed animals has moved over to the main New York Public Library at 42nd Street and 5th Avenue where you can once again freely view the original toys.
I had no idea that the NYPL even owned these items and now I’m going to make my way there and check it out tomorrow.

The Slightly Warped website has uncovered a tactic used by Disney to allegedly save money on films that they make by recycling animation from their film catalog. The site offers some screen capture proofs to this Disney “technique” which I think is pretty brilliant on Disney’s part for slipping it by us so secretively. I mean, I surely didn’t notice this at all until I read this website so I guess they change enough of certain scenes to keep me from remembering.
Anyway, check out the examples and tell me you aren’t surprised to not have noticed it all these years. Thanks ILikeCheese!

BibliOdyssey has a post full of original illustrations and drawings from Ernest Howard Shepard that are set to go on auction at Sotheby’s on December 17, 2008.
The auction, appropriately named ‘That sort of Bear’: E.H. Shepard’s Winnie-the-Pooh From the Collections of Stanley J Seeger and Christopher Cone will feature 42 lots of illustrations, drawings, and rare books created by E.H. Shepard for the famous children’s story by A.A. Milne.
You can bet that these rare pieces will fetch a hefty sum once they go to auction, so if you can’t afford to buy them, at least you can look at them for free from the comfort of your computer.
