Good morning! This day in Disney history, Jan. 4th, 1905. Character actor & Disney Legend Sterling Holloway, (the original voice of Winnie the Pooh) is born in Cedartown, Georgia. His countless Disney voice credits include Peter and the Wolf, Bambi, The Jungle book, The Aristocats,
Dumbo, The Three Caballeros, Make Mine Music, & Alice in Wonderland. Who's your favorite Sterling Holloway voiced character?
✨ Also on the day in 1936, "Mickey's Polo Team", directed by David Hand, is released. The Mickey Mousers take on the Movie Stars in a manic polo tournament. Animated spectators include Hollywood stars Shirley Temple, Eddie Cantor, W.C. Fields & Clark Gable. The film is created as a result of Walt Disney's interest in the sport. To watch: http://is.gd/dDLtI4 Have a great day!
Hi duchess. I say if you do not win the mud wrestling match with Churro for the plaid hat from yesterday, you should do your hair like this gentleman 😁 -

A very talented person indeed.My favorites was the Stork from Dumbo and the narration for the Antarctica short in the Threes Caballeros voiced by Mr. Holloway.Jim Cummings would be the next Disney legend to take over.Thanks for sharing -

I love this wonderful actor. My favorite is Winnie The Pooh. He was also a great actor in mainstream movies as well. He had an amazing singing voice. Thank you very much for posting this. -

Sterling Holloway is such a huge part of Disney voices. It is hard to choose just one. My favorite would have to be Winnie the Pooh. It's the voice I've known all my life. Thank you SMK for another outstanding Disney History post!! -

One of my favorite voice actors! I'm starting to watch some retro TV shows and its fun to see him guest star in a lot of them. But I'll always know him as Pooh :) -

I really loved the movie "Ben and Me" where he voiced the mouse companion of Ben Franklin. He was adorable in that one! -

I used to watch Winnie the Pooh all the time as a kid. Those are some of my favorite movies and I'm not a big fan of anything other than the originals. The book is great too. Thanks -
