Strangely enough, I never watched Pooh as a child, nor did I own any Christopher Robin books or Winnie-branded toys. My liking for the friendly old bear began in high school, when I took an interest in writings by A.A. Milne and as such, discovered that Pooh is just as much about “hunny” as he is about wisdom. It turns out that that silly old bear isn’t all that entirely silly.

I’m incredibly happy to see him and his friends make their way to the big screen in just a couple of weeks, with the premiere of Disney’s Winnie the Pooh on July 16. In the meantime, I leave you with the movie’s beautiful trailer and, with a bit of wisdom by Winnie.

“Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known… Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there someday.” — A.A. Milne

Will you be watching?
