After quiring the film rights to Winnie the Pooh, Disney got to work quickly. In 1977 they released a full length film starring Winnie the Pooh and his friends. In 2000 Tigger was the star of his own movie, "The Tigger Movie." Then in 2003 Piglet starred in "Piglet's Big Movie." And then there is Eeyore, grumpy and sad most of the time, but still much loved. The Winnie the Pooh universe may have started back in the 1920's but it's still going strong today. According to CNN over 700 Million Winnie the Pooh Licensed products are sold each year, with annual sales of $2 Billion. So who's your favorite character?
