My Friends Tigger & Pooh is an American interactive computer animated children's television series that aired on the Playhouse Disney block on Disney Channel. It was inspired by A. A.

Premise
The series features Winnie the Pooh and other characters from Disney adaptations of Winnie-the-Pooh. It also introduces two new characters, an imaginative 6-year-old red-headed girl named Darby and her dog Buster.[2] Darby is the main protagonist and an amateur sleuth.

Animation for the series is handled by Japanese company Polygon Pictures. It was executive-produced, and story edited by Brian Hohlfeld.[17][18] After voicing Piglet in Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie, Travis Oates reprises his role, taking over for John Fiedler, who died on June 25, 2005, two years prior to the debut of the series. It also marked the final time that Peter Cullen, Ken Sansom and Kath Soucie provided the respective voices of Eeyore, Rabbit and Kanga, as all three characters would be recast in the 2011, Winnie the Pooh. Cullen later reprises Eeyore in the 2017 Doc McStuffins special "Into the Hundred Acre Wood".
