Pooh turns 100: Hunny-loving bear marks a milestone

Winnie the Pooh, the bear of very little brain who has charmed generations with his homespun and heartfelt wisdom, is turning 100. Now Disney, which acquired the rights to Pooh and his pals from 100 Acre Wood in the 1960s, is holding a year-long celebration of the slow-witted bear. "Pooh definitely is a bringer of joy," says animator Mark Henn.
