    Winnie The Pooh

    Winnie The Pooh may be the oldest bear on our list! The first collection of Pooh stories came to life in 1926 from the creative mind of A.A.Milne. In 1961, as his image evolved, he was licensed to Walt Disney Productions, where he became the child hood star we all still love today.
