What You Don't Know About The Secret Life of Winnie The Pooh!

[@WDWCentral]

Can’t believe Disney would get so Pooh-litical, this is un-bear-able!

[@Believeinthemagic17]

Another great video! Love seeing old Disneyland footage!

[@markapuan]

Weird, as much as I love Disney, this little known campaign history I don't remember. Excellent job narrating this classic Disney Pooh history.

[@HeyBrickey]

Hey Mark, I’m having a hard time getting people to click on this story because it is so different and off the beaten path. If you have the time please let me know what you think the videos about or what you took from it. Was there anything shocking to you that you were unaware of and the video surprised you? Your feedback could help me reverse engineer your thoughts into a possible cover or title. Thanks!

[@markapuan]

​@HeyBrickey, would you want me to leave the remarks here, or elsewhere?

[@HeyBrickey]

@@markapuan hit me up in 1313 since we have that connection ❤️

[@JaneMachado-nz3ob]

This is some seriously deep dive content, and I am here for it!!

[@HeyBrickey]

@@JaneMachado-nz3ob can you please do me a favor? I’m having a hard time getting people to click because this such a different kind of video. Can you describe to me what you think the theme is or what you liked about it so that I can possibly reverse engineer your feedback into a cover or title. Appreciate it if you have the time.

[@JaneMachado-nz3ob]

​@HeyBrickey I really liked the look at such a quirky part of Disney history. Fans like me get a lot of content about imagineers (which I do enjoy), attraction development, and the like, but marketing campaigns like this one hit the nostalgia button. I have vague memories of this from when I was a kid in the late 60s/early 70s. (Shit. Did I just age out of a desired demographic?) For me, this was nostalgic, a whole lot of fun during a very un-fun current election year, and a quick lesson in tie-in marketing. (Pretty sure I had some of those Sears/Pooh clothes) Disney and marketing are peanut butter and jelly. They go together and I think people may need to see that it has been around Disney since the very, very beginning. Disney is a company that wants to turn a profit while providing quality family entertainment.... and has been since day one. Keep the quirky coming. We love it!

[@HeyBrickey]

@@JaneMachado-nz3ob thank you so much for your help!!! I appreciate your time ❤️

[@The6ftPeter]

One of your best videos, yet!

[@jetsons101]

I remember all this just like it was yesterday. We have been going to Disneyland "and still do" since before the Matterhorn was built. The stories I could tell.....

[@mariannemccann]

My first memories of Disneyland as a kid were from the Pooh in '72 campaign

[@simplysuelou2014]

This just makes me miss the 70’s! Such a great era to grow up in.

[@ckbarry]

This is great stuff. Loving the old footage. Thanks. 👏- and thanks for the “what you talking about Willis” throwback. “Hooked on polyester” 😂 My brothers wore “Tough Skin” “jeans” from Sears. Ahh, the fashions! 😱😂

[@judithmedina4822]

Wow, I never knew! Thanks for the video. Great job on getting all that old footage!

[@HeyBrickey]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@kcholt68]

I was born in 68 and vaguely remember "Pooh for President" but definitely had Pooh clothes from Sears lol. I still have my Pooh doll from when I was 2.

[@mountaindoggy]

It was a Pooh Caucus.

[@Atyomommahouse-p2m]

Disney is making EPIC mistakes. ✌🏽

[@RakoonCD]

Wrong, Epic Mickey was good.

[@damianhbk1]

It's interesting to think that a character and franchise that is Canadian born would be considered and represented for the United States of America marketing. Pooh must have been super over with the masses back then. Great video and thank you for the fun content! ❤

[@keganengelke8886]

Somehow the little lovable bear all stuff with fluff isn't running any longer, but yet we still get pooh every election!!

[@keganengelke8886]

Originally instead of a tour by train, Disney asked Oscar Mayer if they could hitch a ride. But they said "No, we don't want Pooh on our wiener"

[@Jonni8]

Oh my gosh, that was crazy and very interesting! But I had to close my eyes when Pooh was getting dressed 🙈😊

[@HeyBrickey]

Haha I can't say I blame you!

[@decodr-ring]

Brocket, nice report! That’s a lot of archived news 20:43 and film that you had to view to pull this story from the past. I don’t remember how much an ice cream cone cost in 1970, but a plain hamburger cost $0.25. A cup of milk in a tetra-pack cost $0.05 -that’s at school. A comic book was $0.15. And a dozen eggs cost $0.60. Cheers

[@keganengelke8886]

Thanks for the fun video, perfect for a Saturday morning. I can't stop laughing at how ridiculous the Winnie the Pooh character looks with the honey pot & bee on his head.

[@amandak1683]

Ok, this is hilarious and genius. I love the quirky bit of history that is perfect for this election year. Sears totally played the long game and their bootleg Pooh was the stuff of nightmares. As much as I dislike Pooh (orange or not), I might be convinced to vote for him if we really could have 5 cent ice cream cones. But I'm generally in the same camp as the kid that punched him in the gut.

[@kingdoo21]

At 5:36 I'm asking, "How is this not a quadrennial event?" I'm certain that nothing bad will happen to change my opinion.

[@DarkRacerDryBones]

This is the Disney history that I find the most interesting! Crazy that this didn't ruin Pooh's image in current pop culture.

[@ssgorik]

How could this have ruined Pooh’s image now?

[@maxickingdom]

Disney wouldn't be able to get away with this today, given how divisive politics are. There's enough controversy over the Hall of Presidents in Florida as it is 😆

[@karebear3152]

🤣 I got to see one of those straw hats in person at the Disney 100 Exhibit here in Kansas City. It was supposed to be here through mid November but apparently they've extended it through January 5th! I might actually be able to go visit it again before it closes.

[@HeyBrickey]

That's awesome! I hope you get to see it again.

[@JBX302]

You gotta admit he had a pretty sweet platform. I hear it was a honey pot. :)

[@sherrolsimard9256]

👏 Little guy jumping out of the seat - Great episode.

[@julianhudson7811]

If Pooh had actually ran for president and won, the white house would have definitely been renamed to the Sears House, owing to Sears involvement in the “campaign”. Also Sears Pooh looks flat out cursed.

[@RakoonCD]

19:16 THE BOYS

[@chitchatpaddiwack5638]

Where can a gal get an ice cream cone around here?

[@FredVeit]

Hi Brickey, where’s the DL ball cap? I thought it was supposed to be in your store? Can we get it without the white underbill? Maybe just black or dark green? Thanks!

[@HeyBrickey]

It’s not for sale yet and it’s not possible to special order one without the white under the bill.

[@shashona3084]

Wild

[@Thrillahbee]

Winnie-the-Pooh for president in the 70’s…glad cancel culture was NOT a thing! Where the heck you get these Disney facts from, Brickey?! It’s always sick hearing you narrating stories and history of Disney!

[@HabeasJ]

Literally what would be "canceled" if this happened today?..

[@Thrillahbee]

It’s sarcasm…
