Winnie the Pooh

okay, so i was just thinking about the greatest kids stories ever, Winnie the Pooh and what it has become.  the first Winnie the pooh i ever saw or heard of was the Disney movie from the forties.  it had a few of the popular Pooh stories on it and  was awesome.  i still watch it sometimes.  after that came the books, which are incredible.  and then the adventures of Winnie the pooh.  and whatever there is now.  i hate what it has become.  i mean they made Christopher Robin a flipping girl!  why?  Christopher has always been a guy and it upsets me that the people at Disney have strayed so far from the original story.  i mean the tigger movie was fine, so was piglets big movie,  and before that everything was okay, but why do they have to mess with all the little kids now, who will one day tell their kids how great Winnie the pooh was, but they themselves never really experienced Winnie the pooh for what the stories really are.  it is kind of frustrating for me, and maybe this rant doesnt make sense at all but i'm not really going to worry about that right now.  i mean, it's not just winnie the pooh, big companies are trying to bring back a lot of old stuff, which would be great, if they werent redoing everything to conform to today's standards of what is "good".  i'm talking about the old warner brothers cartoons, like bugs bunny and daffy duck.  i just saw a "new" episode last night, and it was horrible.  it was loud and really really  dumb (yes the argument could be made that the old ones were dumb too).  why cant these companies just bring back all the old cartoons, just because they didnt crazy good CGI aimation doesnt make them any less than what they are.  the new remakes and renditions of all these wonderful old kids shows are crap compared to their older counterparts.  this of couse is just my opinion, and if you love the new stuff more than the old stuff, good for you. thats all for me today, Peace and God bless---- Joe
