He didn't dislike the plays and mysteries he'd written-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AA_Milne
He just didn't quite think that sentimental little kiddy piece about his son's stuffed animals would eclipse the entire rest of his work, and would be appropriately shelved along with his children poems.
Keep in mind, AA milne wrote stories for grown-ups. So I guess being labled as a "children's author" over not knowing(or pretending not to know) that he did books for adults is pretty understandable.
Hey everyone, it's great to see some excitement about Winnie the Pooh. I'm here on behalf of Disney, and I thought I'd share a cool Winnie the Pooh personality quiz with you. It's pretty simple, and it only takes a minute.
Well, they showed the trailer before Cars 2 and it got a good reaction from the audience, so there's definitely some sort of interest in the air. How much of that will transform into box-office dollars, I have no idea.
When I saw Hop with my little neices and nephews, the trailer was shown in front of it. It was the Somewhere Only We Know version. The impression I got was that it was received well by the crowd. They did go very quiet when it was on. But I haven't seen anything else for it since, in fact I have no idea when it is expected in Australia. I do have the soundtrack for it though that I purchased from Amazon UK
