Original Winnie the Pooh Makes Comeback

The almost century-old Winnie the Pooh teddy bear has been refurbished and put back on display at the New York City Library. Writer A.A. Milne based his world-famous children's books on his son's favorite soft toys in the 1920's. Photo: Associated Press

I’ve visited Pooh and his friends a couple times and I have to say it’s amazing to be right in front of the very toys that inspired my childhood

[rosemimi]

I just live a few hours away from nyc and did not know that they are on American soil. Need to see them soon.

No one will love winnie the pooh, tigger, kanga, roo (sadly he lost it), piglet and eeyore more than Christopher himself
even though he started hating them because of getting bullied and having to carry all the fame I know that he had somewhere in his heart for them.

Thank you for the showing the original inspirations for Milne's stories.

It would be a nice gesture to return it to Britain.

Disney took over for Pooh a LONG time before the 2011 movie! That was just a come back!

Saw this recently, when visiting New York City - so glad we stumbled upon it, it was a lovely surprise!

They should remake the toys to see if they sell...

[PheonixStarsx]

The bear should be in the London museum in England

[FlN]

This is on my bucket list for sure. Gotta go see them

[sahali]

I saw the toys yesterday in NYPL in Manhattan and cried

[AndreDV]

what happens when the toys are gone or somebody stole it?

[bastcat]

Poor things! Sitting there in display and not played with...

Now to make a video of him

It's a shame that roo was MIA in the middle east.

So is it really the real life toys of Christopher Robin?
