Walt Disney Animation Studios has decided to return A. A. Milne's beloved bear to his hand-drawn animated roots for a feature film scheduled for a July 15, 2011 release. The new "Winnie the Pooh," the first big-screen "Pooh" adventure from Disney animators in more than 30 years, will more closely resemble the classic short films from the 1960s and '70s.
