　　A Short History of The World"s Most Popular Pooh
　　小熊维尼的小小历史
　　It all began in 1921 when young Christopher Robin Milne received a teddy bear named Edward as a gift for his first birthday. Over the next few years, he added other stuffed toys to his collection, which grew to include a donkey, a kangaroo or two, a pig, and a striped tiger. Owl and Rabbit were based on animals that lived near the author"s Cotchford Farm in East Sussex, England. When Christopher was four, he went to London Zoo and struck up a friendship with a Canadian black bear named Winnie (short for the bear"s hometown of Winnipeg). This fascination led the boy"s famous father, noted playwright/journalist A.A. Milne, to invent a wonderful series of stories and books.
　　
　　On December 24, 1925, the first Pooh story was published in the London Evening News. It had the descriptive title "In Which We Are Introduced to Winnie-the-Pooh and Some Bees, and the Stories Begin", The story proved to be so popular that it was broadcast by BBS radio the following day (Christmas Day).
　　
　　Milne, who lived from 1882 to 1956, was one of England"s most successful playwrights. Milne wrote the original Pooh stories primarily to amuse himself. In the great tradition of J.M. Barrie and Lewis Carroll, he used a child as the catalyst to pen his stories. In fact, he was truly writing of worldly affairs, politics, puzzles, and the beauty of childhood.
　　
　　The first Disney Pooh animated featurette, Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree, was released in 1966.

　　"What"s different about this show is that it is not dependent on lighting to make it a spectacle, which is amazing. We are not turning lighting into a special effect, but rather recreating the lighting to mimic the sun, for example, so that the Hundred Acre Wood looks realistic. We have to create a magical theatrical world for Winnie the Pooh while maintaining the character"s integrity, which requires a reliance on technology different from the rock concert world."

　　"We have created a number of visual surprises for the audience. Characters fly, vegetables grow - and just when you think you"ve seen everything, suddenly something new appears on the set. This will be a very interactive show, and I have created a variety of textures and surfaces that can interact with the characters and further draw children into the story and excitement that is unfolding around them. The goal of the show is to ignite an excitement for theatre in children in a way that they may not have experienced. We"re asking them to come along for the adventure and use their imagination.">>
