Premise

[edit | edit source]

The series features Winnie the Pooh and other characters from Disney's adaptations of Winnie-the-Pooh and introduces two new characters: Darby, an imaginative 6-year-old girl, and her dog, Buster.[2] Darby is the main protagonist and an amateur sleuth. She teams up with Winnie the Pooh and Tigger to form the Super Sleuths, a trio that investigates mysteries in the Hundred Acre Wood.[3] Christopher Robin, Darby's older best friend, only appears twice throughout the series.

Production

[edit | edit source]

In December 2005, Disney announced the creation of a new television series featuring a new female character who would replace Christopher Robin as the protagonist.[16] My Friends Tigger & Pooh was developed by Walt Disney Television Animation. The animation for the series was done by the Japanese studio Polygon Pictures. The series was executive-produced and story edited by Brian Hohlfeld.[17] After voicing Piglet in Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie, Travis Oates reprised his role for the series, succeeding John Fiedler, who had died on June 25, 2005. Likewise, Kyle Stanger and Jimmy Bennett were replaced by Oliver Dillon and Max Burkholder respectively in the roles of Lumpy and Roo. The series also marked the final time Peter Cullen, Ken Sansom, and Kath Soucie voiced Eeyore, Rabbit, and Kanga, respectively, before these characters were recast for the 2011 film Winnie the Pooh.
