Winnie the Pooh is a multimedia franchise largely published by Disney which began with the book Winnie-the-Pooh by A. A. Milne. Some elements of the series have since fallen into the public domain.
The series follows the adventures of Christopher Robin and his best friend, the titular stuffed teddy bear, and a menagerie of other animal friends, who live in the Hundred-Acre Wood. The characters are based upon Milne's real-life son and his collection of stuffed animals.
