No details have been revealed for the untitled Pooh movie, only that it will open in cinemas in spring 2011 and will be a 2-D, hand-drawn animated adventure.
A.A. Milne's creation, a honey-loving bear who lives in Hundred Acre Wood with Tigger, Piglet and Eeyore, first appeared in a collection of stories in 1926. The character has since featured on TV, film, radio and licenced merchandise.
Disney consumer products chairman Andy Mooney said that Pooh is the second-biggest character franchise behind Mickey Mouse.
The last theatrical outing for Winnie The Pooh, 2005's Heffalump Movie, earned $52 million at the worldwide box office.
