A: Evidently the producers of the Pooh films have decided that Gopher was not an especially strong character. He was created for Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree and never appeared in the A. A. Milne books. Thus he was not as “authentic” as the other characters in the Pooh films.
Dennis, Borås, Sweden
A: Piglet does appear briefly in Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree, in the “book illustrations” shown during the theme song at the beginning of the film.
Joseph, Nevada City, California
A: My favorite animated Disney feature from the early days in Pinocchio; from more recent years, it is Beauty and the Beast.
