8. Winnie The Pooh
The Original: Winnie The Poohʼs history with Disney dates all the way back to 1966, with the first theatrical short film about the soft-spoken yellow teddy bear, Winnie The Pooh And The Honey Tree. Disney produced two more shorts before all three were put together and released to theatres in 1977ʼs, The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh. Two more shorts were released in the ʻ80s before several TV shows and direct-to-DVD movies were released to audiences. The last time the bear made it onto the big screen in a feature length release was the 2011 box office failure, Winnie The Pooh. The Planned Remake: Listen Up Philip writer-director Alex Ross Perry is writing the screenplay for this Winnie The Pooh live-action retelling. Perry was hired after he pitched his take on the story to the studio. The film is expected to focus on Christopher Robin as an adult which brings him back to A.A. Milneʼs famous bear and the Hundred Acre Wood.

Martin Scorsese fanboy; Can prove in 140-characters why Michael Bay is a hack, and I enjoy a bit of Gridiron at the weekends.
