Winnie The Pooh (2011)
+ short film The Ballad Of Nessie
Three stories inspired by A.A. Milne add up to a very busy day for Winnie the Pooh (Jim Cummings) and friends. Upon learning that Eeyore (Bud Luckey) has lost his tail, the residents of the Hundred Acre Wood start a contest to see who can find a new one for the melancholy donkey -- with a pot of honey going to the winner. Amid the goings-on, Owl (Craig Ferguson) mistakenly relates the news that Christopher Robin has been abducted. However, all ends well when Pooh finds a land of sweet delights.
The Ballad of Nessie is a 2011 animated short film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios. It was directed by Stevie Wermers-Skelton and Kevin Deters, and produced by the team behind Disney's 2007 animated short film How to Hook Up Your Home Theater. Narrated by Billy Connolly, it is a Disney adaptation of the origin of the Loch Ness Monster, Nessie described to be a female amphibious lizard-like monster. It accompanied the theatrical release of Winnie the Pooh, which premiered on July 15 of the same year.
The Ballad of Nessie was nominated for a 2012 Annie Award for Best Animated Short Subject.
