Streets are named in his honor, one world sports championship is named after him, our hero has his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and in the Forbes list he ranks second as the most valuable character. Can you guess who it is? Everyone's favorite Winnie the Pooh! On October 14, he will celebrate his 90th birthday. How did the story of his life and world fame begin? One that any creative person would envy.His “parent” is the English writer Alan Milne. At the end of 1925, he came up with the idea of writing a book of stories about a funny little bear. Fortunately, they didn’t have to look far for inspiration: their only little son and his father served them. Yes, yes, the same ones known to the world boy Christopher Robin and his plush friend Winnie the Pooh.
If everything is clear with the name of the “human” hero (that’s what the boy was called according to the documents), then the bear cub received a complex nickname. His nickname is a fusion of the nickname of the Canadian bear from the London Zoo (Winnipeg), who was loved by his son, and the swan. The last one lived in the lake next door to Milnov's house and responded to "Pooh".
Almost a year later (October 14, 1926), a book about the adventures of a funny little bear was published. What happened next can be guessed. The clumsy bear, in the company of friends, walked confidently around the world. Literally at every step he finds admirers among both children and adults. It's no joke: in a fairly short time, the book is translated into almost three dozen languages of the world, and Winnie the Pooh becomes almost the most recognizable cartoon character.
A dizzying success, isn't it? However, Alexander Milne was not ready for such a turn of events. Few people know that before the birth of the main teddy bear in the world, Milne had already “lit up” as a writer of adult books. He dreamed of the glory of a great serious playwright, but until the end of his days he was never able to escape from the soft, but tenacious, plush paws of Pooh.
Of course, a single bear cub could not achieve popularity if not for the company of friends. Their images were also literary copied from the real favorites of Christopher Robin. Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore, Roo, Kanga... Need proof? The original toys are still kept in the New York Public Library. Only Owl, Rabbit and Gopher were invented to dilute the usual company of heroes.

In our country they love it so much Winnie the Pooh that it seems like he has always been here. However, it became “ours” only in 1960 with the light hand of the writer Boris Zakhoder. The fateful acquaintance with the English bear cub might not have happened if not for the play of chance. Boris Vladimirovich, studying the English children's encyclopedia in the library, involuntarily drew attention to the picture of a touching animal. If it weren’t for his first impression of Vinny and the desire to learn more about the bear cub, he would forever remain “foreign” for us.
But, fortunately, already in July 1960, a translation of the book into Russian was ready for publication. By the way, our version is somewhat different from Milne’s original. Zakhoder himself has repeatedly admitted that he created a “domestic” version of the translation, preserving the idea, but interpreting it in Russian. Have we lost anything from this? Not a bit, and they even purchased it. It was thanks to Zakhoder that the adventures of the bear cub and his friends were filled with unique Nozzles, Shouters, Puffers and Screamers.
Adored by both children and adults, our Pooh cartoon also differs from the original Disney version. In particular, Christopher Robin, Kanga, baby Roo, Tigger, and Gopher are missing. Our bear is more like a real animal that does not accept clothes, while according to the foreign version, Winnie is a toy in a red blouse.
I couldn’t help but see the light, because the adventures of the funny little bear and his friends had already become Soviet families. In total, director Fyodor Khitruk released three episodes about Winnie the Pooh: in 1969, 1971 and 1972. Unfortunately, the difficult relationship between Khitruk and Zakhoder, the co-author of the cartoon, made their further cooperation impossible. Although it was originally planned to release series on all chapters of the book. There's nothing you can do about it: wayward creative intelligentsia!

And, of course, who in our country is not familiar with the voice of Evgeny Leonov, who voiced the funny little bear. Few people know, but the voice of their favorite artist had to be sped up by about a third using equipment to make Pooh funnier.
Alexander Milne came up with his main character at the age of 44. Whatever feelings he may have for his hero, the fact remains: it is unlikely that Milne would be known and remembered now if it were not for the bear cub with sawdust in his head. Every year the world celebrates Winnie the Pooh Day (January 18), which coincides with the birthday of his “dad”. Probably, a better reward for a writer cannot be imagined.

On the calendar significant dates October 14th is designated as Winnie the Pooh's birthday. literary character and the hero of animated films.
Teddy bear Winnie the Pooh (Winnie-the-Pooh) was born as a literary character in the works of Alan Alexander Milne. Funny and fluffy was destined to become one of the most famous heroes children's literature of the 20th century.
Strictly speaking, the exact date of birth of Winnie the Pooh is unknown to anyone, even his creator, English writer Alan Milne. In 1921, Alan Milne gave his son a teddy bear for his birthday. After meeting his young master Christopher Robin, he received the name Winnie the Pooh. Later, the bear cub became Christopher’s “inseparable companion.” It was the boy’s friendship with his favorite teddy bear that inspired A. Milne to write stories about the adventures of Winnie the Pooh. The first book about the bear cub was published on October 14, 1926 in London.
The history of the Russian Winnie the Pooh is no less interesting. Once, in 1958, the wonderful writer and translator Boris Zakhoder was looking through the English children's encyclopedia. “It was love at first sight: I saw an image of a cute bear cub, read several poetic quotes - and rushed to look for a book...,” the writer later said.
It was thanks to Boris Zakhoder’s retelling that stories about the cheerful bear cub became popular among Soviet children, and the cartoon, where the bear was voiced by Evgeny Leonov, made Vinny a people’s favorite.
In our kindergarten Together with parents, we organized an exhibition of children's works dedicated to Winnie the Pooh's birthday. Best works participated in the regional exhibition organized by the State Budgetary Institution "KITs".
The exhibition accepted drawings, crafts, postcards, toys made of various materials, made in various techniques. The main thing is that they talk about Winnie the Pooh and his friends; they could also become the author of a postcard - congratulations to the resilient bear. In total, 62 children took part in the competition.
19 of our children’s works took prizes at the regional competition. The winners received certificates and sweet gift- "Barney"!
Happy Birthday, Vinnie!
Let me introduce the birthday boy: he is D.P. (Piglet's Friend), aka P.K. (Rabbit's Buddy), aka O.P. (Discoverer of the Pole), aka U.I.-I. (Eeyore the Comforter), aka N.H. (Tail Finder) - Winnie the Pooh bear! The famous bear turns 85 this year!
Stories character Alana Alexandra Milne first appeared on the pages of the newspaper "London Evening News"(London Evening News) on Christmas Eve 1925 in the story "The Wrong Bees" , - reports the BBC (BBC). Stories about the adventures of a cheerful bear cub along with his friends - Tigger, Piglet and Eeyore - began to use this great success, What in October 1926 Milne published his first collection of short stories "Winnie the Pooh" . This year's book "Winy - Pooh and his friends" turns 85 years old.
Stories about the funny bear and his friends have been translated into more than 40 languages. In the 1960s-1970s, thanks to the retelling Boris Zakhoder , "Winnie the Pooh and all-all-all" , and then to the studio's cartoons "Soyuzmultfilm", where he voiced the bear Evgeniy Leonov , Winnie the Pooh became very popular in the Soviet Union. We will probably all agree that the naive, good-natured and modest plush bear Winnie the Pooh is one of the most famous and most beloved children's book heroes past and present centuries.
In 1924, writer Alan Milne first came to London Zoo with his four-year-old son Christopher Robin. Here they met the bear Winnie, with whom Christopher became friends. Three years earlier, Milne gave his son a teddy bear for his first birthday. After Christopher met Winnie, this bear was named in her honor. The Winnipeg Bear (American black bear) came to the UK as the live mascot of the Canadian Army Veterinary Corps from Canada, specifically from the outskirts of the city of Winnipeg. She ended up in the Fort Harry Horse cavalry regiment on August 24, 1914, while still a bear cub. She was bought from a Canadian hunter for twenty dollars by 27-year-old regimental veterinarian Lieutenant Harry Colborne, who saved her from the fate of becoming a stuffed animal. Mr. Colbon took care of Vinny for a long time. Already in October of the same year, the bear cub was brought along with the troops to Britain, and since the regiment was supposed to be transported to France during the First World War, in December it was decided to leave Winnie until the end of the war in the London Zoo. The bear fell in love with Londoners, and the military did not object to not taking her from the zoo even after the war.
The action of the books about Pooh takes place in the Hundred Acre Forest (in Zakhoder's translation, the Wonderful Forest). Little Christopher Robin loved to climb into the hollows of trees and play there with Pooh, so many characters in the books live in hollows, and much of the action takes place in such dwellings or on tree branches. Pooh's favorite pastimes are writing poetry and eating honey. The bear cub is “scared by long words”, he is forgetful, but often brilliant ideas come into his head. Pooh is the creator, the main poet of the Hundred Acre (Wonderful) Forest, he constantly composes poems from the noise sounding in his head. Vinny says thoughtfully about his inspiration: “After all, Poetry and Chants are not things that you find when you want, they are things that find you.”.
