Winnie the Pooh is to receive a new animal companion in a forthcoming official sequel.

Created by AA Milne, teddy bear Winnie the Pooh featured in a series of much-loved children’s books and poems in the 1920s. The stories, which follow the adventures of Pooh along with his friends Piglet, Rabbit, Eeyore and Tigger in their home, the Hundred Acre Wood, were first adapted for the screen in the 1960s.
