(Walt Disney Studios, 1990) Original production cel of Winnie the Pooh from ‘A Bird in the Hand,’ the second part of the 10th episode from the third season of The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, which originally aired on November 10, 1990. The cel shows the teddy bear looking down at his beloved honey jar that is floating, much to Pooh’s delight, in a river of golden honey! The cel is placed on a matching Disney litho background. Images measure 6.5 x 5.75 (Pooh and honey), with a mat opening of 11 x 8. The piece has the silver Walt Disney Television seal to lower left. Housed in its original Walt Disney Television Animation Art presentation envelope, with label to reverse marked “23-WTP-100.” In fine, still-sealed condition, with wear to the envelope, such as staple holes and two tears to bottom flap. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from the Walt Disney Company. During its four-season run, The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh earned strong reviews from critics, parents, and children alike, winning back-to-back Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Animated Program in addition to two Humanitas Prizes. The show is credited with bringing about a resurgence of Pooh animated media.
