The series first aired in 1988 on Disney Channel. The show moved to ABC in the same year. After production was over in 1991, reruns continued to air on ABC until January 23, 1993. In 1997, when Disney's One Saturday Morning was introduced on ABC, Winnie the Pooh was brought back in reruns, in which it aired until One Saturday Morning became ABC Kids in 2002. The Disney Channel began airing the series on October 3, 1994, and continued to air until September 1, 2006. Playhouse Disney then began airing the series from 1999-2006. But when the channel rebranded, this program was ridden off. It also aired on Toon Disney from the channel's launch in 1998 until 2004 (returning briefly in early 2007). In the UK, the program aired from 2000-2011 on Playhouse Disney.
In 1989, this show was paired with Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears and called it Disney's Gummi Bears-Winnie The Pooh Hour. However, because of a combination of Gummi Bears' strength and a new series, TaleSpin, the series was denied clearance to air on The Disney Afternoon.
The show featured a number of original songs, including "Here We Go Floating" from the episode "Balloonatics".[2]
Winnie the Pooh and Tigger were two of the cartoon characters featured in Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue.
Additionally, Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, Piglet, Gopher, Rabbit, Kanga, Roo, Owl, and Christoper Robin were featured in House of Mouse and Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse.
During the 1990s, various VHS tapes were released in the United States each containing 2 to 4 episodes. Several more were later released in the early 2000s (decade). Other countries had their own exclusive VHS releases. There were 10 volumes under the title "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh", released between 1989 and 1992 through Walt Disney Home Video.
