Winnie the Pooh (2011 movie)
Winnie the Pooh is a 2011 American animated musical movie produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. It is the 51st movie in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series. It is based on the A. A. Milne stories of the same name. In the movie, Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Rabbit, Piglet, Owl, Eeyore, Kanga and Roo go on a journey to save Christopher Robin from a menacing monster called the Backson (which Owl mistakes "back soon" on Christopher Robin's note as such). The plot of the movie was similar to Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin, but also had a sub-plot in which Eeyore finds his tail, which was based on 1 of the books.
