Winnie the Pooh (series)
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.

References to Winnie the Pooh in the DWU
The anthology book, Now We Are Six Hundred [+]Loading...["Now We Are Six Hundred (anthology)"], is based on the Winnie the Pooh poetry book, Now We Are Six, with many of the poems found within being inspired by poems from said book. Likewise, the setting and characters found in the book's first and penultimate chapters Beforwards and Afterwords are clear parodies of those found in Winnie the Pooh.
