Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree

Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree is a 1966 American short film combining live-action and animation. It was produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by Buena Vista Distribution on February 4, 1966. Based on the first two chapters of the Winnie-the-Pooh book written by A. A. Milne, it is the only Winnie the Pooh production released under Walt Disney's supervision before his death later that year. Music and lyrics were written by the Sherman Brothers, (Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman). Background music was provided by Buddy Baker. DELIGHTFUL ENTERTAINMENT!
