As well as with Once Upon a Studio (2023) (which uses archived recordings from the original voice actors for Winnie the Pooh characters), this will be the first Disney production since Welcome to Pooh Corner (1983) and Winnie the Pooh: A Valentine for You (1999) respectively where Winnie the Pooh and Tigger are voiced by someone other than Jim Cummings.
The Animated series title was announced during Annecy International Animation Film Festival 2023 on June 13th, 2023.
This is the first time Disney would depict Winnie the Pooh with corneas since the television series Welcome to Pooh Corner (1983). This would also be Piglet and Kanga's first time to ever have corneas in the Disney adaptation.
While this is the first animated depiction of Pooh and friends as babies, there were sold coloring pages of the characters as toddlers for more than a decade. Although, in the coloring sheets Pooh and Piglet had black dotted eyes.
This is Disney's first Winnie the Pooh project since the original adaptation went into public domain. Not counting Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022) where they had a cameos as bootlegged characters.
