#TBT: Watch the Soviet Union’s amazing 1969 adaptation of Winnie the Pooh
You've seen Winnie the Pooh. But have you ever seen Soviet-era Winnie the Pooh, or rather, Vinny Pukh?
Fyodor Khitruk, a Russian animator, drew this 10-minute adaption for Soyuzmultfilm in 1969. A famous Russian actor, Yevgeny Leonov, did the voice of Vinny Pukh.
