Question: Why did Sterling Holloway quit voicing Winnie The Pooh after providing his voice in this movie?
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977)
1 question
Directed by: Wolfgang Reitherman, John Lounsbery
Starring: Sebastian Cabot, Barbara Luddy, Junius Matthews, Howard Morris
Other mistake: After talking to his own mirror image when guarding his house from the "Heffalumps and Woozles", Pooh turns around counter-clockwise. This should mean that his mirror image would turn clockwise but it ALSO turns counter-clockwise. (00:35:55)
Answer: Holloway could have continued voicing Winnie the Pooh, but by that time he was in his 80s and felt he could no longer effectively use his voice for the character as he once did. He chose to retire from the role.
