Walt Disney is going old school for its new Winnie the Pooh movie due out next summer, forgoing computer-generated animation and 3-D for a classic, hand-drawn film. However, Disney is making some concessions to more modern tastes, with a faster pace and humor that is more appropriate for today’s audiences. The new movie, which is the first big-screen Pooh story in more than 30 years, is being made to resemble the classic short films from the 1960s and ’70s. Producer Peter Del Vecho told AP, “We wanted to create a movie for the big screen that had the charm and wit of those original shorts. What originally endeared all of us — adults and children — to these characters was that they were stuffed animals that came to life in the imagination of a child. We wanted to rekindle that imagination in a big way.”
See ya in the morning,
