1998/04 Winnie de Poeh

In 1998, McDonald’s partnered with Disney to feature Winnie the Pooh in a popular Happy Meal promotion, delighting children across the world. Tied to Disney’s continued success with the Winnie the Pooh franchise, including home video releases like Pooh’s Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin (1997), the Happy Meal toys brought the magic of the Hundred Acre Wood to life. The toys, issued by McDonald’s, included beloved characters such as Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, and Eeyore, each with fun, interactive features. These figures reflected Disney’s classic animation style and were designed to appeal to both new fans and nostalgic parents. Originally created by author A.A. Milne and illustrator E.H.
