Disney's version of Winnie-the-Pooh was originally voiced by Sterling Holloway, who voiced the character from 1966–1977 in three featurettes that were later used as segments in The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977). Hal Smith took over for the 1981 short Winnie the Pooh Discovers the Seasons, and maintained the role until Jim Cummings took over beginning with the animated series The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1988–1991). Cummings is still the current voice of Pooh, as well as Tigger.
