Oh, Pooh!

"There's more here than meets the eye." 9/15/18 Meet the Voice of Winnie the Pooh … and Tigger, Too! What do the lovable Winnie the Pooh and the ferocious Tasmanian Devil have in common? Voice actor Jim Cummings! He's brought the honey-obsessed bear (and sidekick Tigger) to life for the last 30 years. And that's not to mention some 400 other credits, including the singing voice of Scar in "The Lion King," and the slithering, slimy Kaa in "The Jungle Book 2."  Swimming Through the Wall of Sharks The pristine waters of French Polynesia draw visitors from all over. Turns out grey reef sharks are pretty fond of them, too—so much so that the Island of Fakarava's southern pass is called the "grey shark wall." Fancy a swim? Building Beautiful Monsters All across Mexico, fantastical creatures can be found dotting the streets, covered in bright colors, giant wings, bulging eyes and viper tongues. These are alebrijes, papier-mâché creations that have become a staple of Mexican folk art. But how did these beautiful monsters come to be? That's all thanks to one man with a dream. This Great Big Story was inspired by Genesis.
