Isn't "Winnie-the-Pooh" from Canada?
The Winnie-the-Pooh stories are set in Ashdown Forest, Sussex, England, and the author lived in England as well.
That's true, but as I understand it Winnie is named after Winnipeg, a city in Canada and the bear that was in the London zoo came from there I believe (been a while since I've seen that "Heritage" video on TV). That's probably where Milo got the idea.
It was totally off the top of my head, but I just seemed to remember Pooh having some connection to Canada.

I hope they go back to it. I mean my gosh, if they can make "Hunchback" into a Disney movie, I'd think Don Quixote would be easy!
Yeah Hunchback was also very very close to being pulled out as well due to a similar ordeal just like with Don Quixote. Very intense graphic concepts and story. JPanimation mention about Hunchback's original idea. I could be wrong but I believe Hunchback got save and green lighted because Eisner wanted it to be made. And I heard Hunchback is Eisner's favorite apparently. If it wasn't for Eisner, I believe Hunchback probably wouldn't make it on screen.
Those pictures were awesome! I really wish they'd try it again. I know that the original story is a little dark, but when I think of Hanna-Barbera's "The Adventures of Don Coyote and Sancho Panda" or the various spoofs in animation over the years (Pinky and the Brain comes to mind first), I really think the right group of writers could make it work, as in, make it fun, worth watching, true enough to the original idea of the story, and family friendly. I really hope they go back to it, but not before they finish making the Snow Queen!
