I am 75 years old ... when we were little, my mother tood us to the bookmobile every Saturday morning to check out books. I repeatedly checked out Winne the Pooh books every week. I loved them. Read them to all my children, and then my grandchildren too. As a minister, I often used their stories, like the loss of Eeyore's tail; or tigger's bouncy personality to teach the children. To this day, i love both the humour and the life stories that flow from the pages. Thank you. I enjoyed this video very much. :)

I am 57 years old. In my neighborhood where I grew up in Northern Virginia, the bookmobile would stop about one block away. It was some of the most exciting days of my childhood. As a minister, did you ever use Peanuts cartoons as material? One of my Sunday school teachers did.

@@twistoffate4791 My youngest son loved Snoopy so much that he wore out the first one so we had to "buy" him a new one which wasn't quite the same - no longer beat up and deflated. He did accept it fairly readily. However, we did not have a tv for about 30 years ... so reading material for Snoopy wasn't as accessible at the time. Every now and then, I see a comic strip ... usually around Christmas that everyone liked.

I met Christopher R. Milne at his Dartmouth bookshop in the 1980s. We chatted for about an hour about a wide range of subjects and neither of us ever touched on his family, father, his life or history. A gentle, reclusive man. Thank you for this upload.

I watched this! Such pleasant memories of ‘another time’. I recently recited a poem to a friend who never read any Pooh books , ever! Now she’s interested ! All these years have passed, 100 or so? It’s the timeless innocence that’s so attractive.

In a way it is a great shame that his plays are almost forgotten now, as they a rather charming and evocative of the period - although no one could describe them as groundbreaking. Also his novels, recently republished are worth looking at. Very amusing and quintessentially English. It takes great skill to write so enjoyably and with such warmth and charm about ordinary people living slightly whimsical, ordinary lives.

I'm ignorant ! I didn't even know how to pronounce his (Melne) name. Thank you for sharing your Wonderful insights upon the English character. Reminds me of the soul of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Shire. I've often thought about that yellow rain hat that Pooh has. Reminds me of the Queen Mum. Elizabeth II mother. Remember that old hat?

Hi Andrew. I'm from the USA, 77 yrs old. And I think I may be an Anglophile. It just hit me. ( i am ) !

I love the style of the documentary. Very heartwarming.

Touched something deep within my heart. Thank you (s) for your insights upon "times" nearly forgotten... and yet, remembered by that silly old Pooh... and Christopher Robins... just in time! Thank you production crew! where ever you are.

A beautiful documentary that should be on every adult’s to-do list

It's nice to see that Christopher Milne narrated the text of the poems and stories. ❤

Absolutely perfect 🥰 💞

it is so good to seehow Milne put together his story of Christopher and Winnie. How clever and I am inspired.

I love this documentary, it is about too of my oldest heroes, EH Shepard and AA Milne.

My Mom read Pooh to me when i was little. Thank you, Mom.

lovely.

I remember this famous author and I remembered that the characters this person created were famous by Walt Disney. As a matter of fact, there's a movie on Disney plus that's like the books.

I think Brian Jones, a founding member of The Rolling Stones, lived in A. A. Milne’s house and ultimately was found lifeless in his swimming pool there.

Definitely L Frank Baum! The Disney Winnie the Pooh film came out when I was a little girl. That was my introduction to WtP. When I was in high school our school’s drama troupe traveled to various grade schools in our district to present WtP stories and poems for the students. The drama teacher who was also my French teacher asked me to put together a string quartet made up of myself and three friends from our school orchestra. Our job was to play before each assembly to calm the students down, and then we played in between groups of poems or stories so that the actors could change scenery (such as it was) and costumes. By the end of my first year of high school I could recite most of Milne’s poems by heart. I taught my much younger brothers the poems and read them the stories. As I was so much older than them this provided a special bond between us that has never been broken. When I taught 4th and then 5th grade accelerated students I made sure to introduce them to AA Milne. One year a student and his parents gave me a complete set of Milne’s works as a Christmas gift. I raised my son to enjoy all of the books of the set. I’ve introduced my nieces and nephews to them too. Re: Pooh sticks. There is a beautiful small lake that is fed by a spring on top of a hill on a peninsula jutting out into the lake a few miles from my home. There is a narrow cement trough that the water flows down into the lake in. There are three mini ponds that the water goes into on its way down to the lake. My family and friends enjoy doing “modified Pooh sticks” whereby we launch our sticks at the top of the trough where the spring empties into the trough and then watch them flow down from little pond to little pond until one stick finally gets to where the trough empties into the lake. It’s ever so much fun-even for grown ups!

A man called Lucas in the 1920's, well mercy me.

Intrusive music but I enjoyed the film anyway.
