"...the rights to Pooh were sold to Disney by A A Milne himself..."
Well, not the man himself, but his executors. He's been dead for about half a century....
But I agree entirely with those who think Disney has stuffed up Winnie-ther-Pooh forever. (Apart from anything else, trying to re-draw Ernest Shepard has been about as vile an idea as trying to re-write Arthur Ransome would be.)
