Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore Roo respectively. Ralph Wright, one of two voice actors who appeared in all four theatrical releases, became the third principal "Winnie the Pooh" featurette voice to pass away shortly after the release of the film; he died of a heart attack on December 31, 1983. He has since been followed in the deaths by Sterling Holloway (1992), Hal Smith (1994), and finally Paul Winchell and John Fiedler, who had also died on consecutive days in June 2005. On DVD and Blu-ray releases of "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh", the short carries different voice credits than those on previous
Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore video releases. Jim Cummings (Pooh & Tigger), Ken Sansom (Rabbit), Tress MacNeille (Kanga), Trevyn Savage (Christopher Robin), and Aaron Spann (Roo) are listed, despite that the original soundtrack (with Hal Smith as Pooh, Will Ryan as Rabbit, etc.) appears unaltered. This implies that a re-dub was attempted with these actors, but ultimately was not used. The short of "The Mini Adventures of Winnie the Pooh", Jim Cummings (Pooh & Tigger), Tom Kenny (Rabbit), Bud Luckey (Eeyore), Travis Oates (Piglet), Wyatt Hall (Roo) and John Cleese (Narration) the short carries different voice credits than those on "Winnie the Pooh (2011 film)"
