Meet The Voice of Winnie The Pooh (And Tigger Too)

This is a fantastic behind the scenes look at a childhood classic, besides it is not everyday you get a chance to meet the voice of Winnie the Pooh!

What do the lovable Winnie the Pooh, Sonic the Hedgehog, the Tasmanian Devil and Darkwing Duck have in common? Voice actor Jim Cummings!

“He’s brought the honey-obsessed bear (and sidekick Tigger) to life for the last 30 years. And that’s not to mention some 400 other credits, including the singing voice of Scar in “The Lion King,” and the slithering Kaa in “The Jungle Book 2.”

Great Big Story sat down with Jim to uncover the man behind the voice, and to learn which of his iconic characters he identifies with most closely (hint: it’s someone who wears a cape).”
