My relation with the Disnified characters is rocky road at its best - I used to read the comics as a child, but I didn't like it then, and so I didn't bother to see any of the films. Thanks to that childhood-dislike I didn't even read the book until in my twenties - though now it's hard to pinpoint what exactly was so annoying about Winnie The Pooh-comics than. Maybe that well-meaning parents kept buying them already when they had started to feel too childish? I had impression that those comics were targeted at children under school age, but of course since they were non-violent feelgood-comics, they were a tempting buy for parents even after that.

And quite recently (some years ago, but not too sure how many) came across the Russian Winnie The Pooh animation - that is so cute! (I looked for one that says "english subtitles", but now can't find them: https://youtu.be/bEwE4wyz00o)

It's actually curious to ponder some characters ages, especially in some such case when the age doesn't really show, and characters can be children one moment and adults next like cartoon animals. (I got stuck searching for Miś Uszatek in YouTube - wikipedia told it's been shown in Canada as well, so I guess there would be some english translation, but "Teddy Floppy Ear" brought just some gameplay walkthrough videos. There's been some discussion of the age of characters in that show, as the characters seem to be all children and even go to kindergarten or school in some episodes, but yet the teddy lives alone and sometimes the adult characters (like bunnies' mother and piglet's aunt) turn to him for advice in some cases.

...After finding "Category: Fictional Bears" from Wikipedia and cheerfully browsing on, I guess I have already forgotten what I possibly was going to say before I got carried away...
