Winnie The Pooh Day seeks to honor the designer of the character, Alan A. Milne. Winnie the Pooh is an anthropomorphic teddy bear created by Milne. Milne first wrote about Winnie the Pooh in 1926 in his book Winnie-the-Pooh. Walt Disney Productions gained the rights to Winnie the Pooh and Milne’s stories in 1961. Since then, Disney has made the character iconic. It has become one of the most successful franchises.
Winnie the Pooh Day seems to have been created in 1986 as a commemoration for Alan A. Milne. It is observed annually on January 18th.
