Happy National Winnie the Pooh Day to all who celebrate!
Jan. 18 marks the birthday of Winnie the Pooh author A. A. Milne,Surpassing so there's no better time to journey back into the Hundred Acre Wood by firing up some of the best film and television adaptations. There are more than you might remember, including some recent animated shows, and thanks to streaming, locating them is no bother.
Here's your guide on where to stream the best Pooh movies and shows in honor of National Winnie the Pooh Day.
The movies
Most of the major Winnie the Pooh movies are available to stream on Disney+, including "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh," the classic anthology film that strings together several Pooh shorts. Released in 1977, the film is still considered one of the best Pooh adaptations to date, if not the best.
Also streaming on Disney+ are subsequent feature-length Pooh movies like 2000's "The Tigger Movie," which revolves around Tigger as he tries to find his family, and 2003's "Piglet's Big Movie," in which Piglet gets lost in the woods and his friends set out in search for him. Then there's 2005's "Pooh's Heffalump Movie," which sees Roo discover a creature in the woods known as a Heffalump.

In 2011, Disney then released a new Pooh animated film simply titled "Winnie the Pooh," which is available on Disney+ and follows Pooh and the gang as they search for Eeyore's missing tail. It received widespread acclaim and is only about 53 minutes without credits.
Disney+ also has several direct-to-video Pooh movies available to stream: 1997's "Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin," 2002's Christmas-themed "Winnie the Pooh: A Very Merry Pooh Year" and 2004's "Springtime with Roo." A few other Pooh films aren't streaming on Disney+ but can be found on other video-on-demand services, including the holiday-themed "Winnie the Pooh: Seasons of Giving," available on Vudu, and "Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie," available on Vudu, Amazon and Google Play.
The shows and specials
Don't have time for a full Pooh movie? You can always check out an episode of one of the Pooh television shows available on Disney+, including "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh," which debuted in 1988, or "My Friends Tigger & Pooh," which debuted in 2007. Disney+ is also streaming "The Book of Pooh," a Disney Channel series that uses puppets rather than traditional animation.

Young kids might also enjoy "Me & Winnie the Pooh" or "Playdate With Winnie the Pooh," episodes of which are only around three minutes long. Both are on Disney+.
And with Valentine's Day approaching, Pooh fans can revisit the 1999 TV special "Winnie the Pooh: A Valentine for You," which originally aired on ABC and is on Disney+.
The live-action reimaginings
For a slightly more grown-up take on Pooh, check out 2018's "Christopher Robin," a live-action film starring Ewan McGregor as an adult Christopher Robin who reconnects with Pooh and friends. Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore and the gang appear as animated characters blended into the live-action world. The movie is available on Disney+.
2017's "Goodbye Christopher Robin" stars Domhnall Gleeson as A. A. Milne in a biographical film depicting the author's creation of the Winnie the Pooh books. Margot Robbie stars as the author's wife, Daphne, as the movie explores Milne's relationship with his son, Christopher Robin Milne. The film is available to rent on video-on-demand services, including Amazon, Vudu and Apple TV.
And for a much, much more grown-up take on Pooh, don't forget about 2023's "Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey," which plops the beloved childhood characters into a bloody slasher film thanks to Pooh entering the public domain. Stream it on Peacock after the kids have gone to bed.
