Jim Cummings voiced both Winnie the Pooh and Tigger in the 2011 animated film Winnie the Pooh, directed by Stephen J. Anderson and Don Hall. His performance continued Disney's long-running tradition of using a single actor for both characters.
Cummings had already become closely associated with Pooh before the film's release. He first voiced the character for Disney productions in the late 1980s and also took over the role of Tigger after Paul Winchell's retirement. The two characters have very different personalities: Pooh is gentle, thoughtful, and devoted to honey, while Tigger is energetic, boastful, and constantly bouncing.
The 2011 film returned to the hand-drawn visual style and storybook atmosphere of earlier Disney Pooh features. Its plot draws inspiration from A. A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh stories and follows the residents of the Hundred Acre Wood as they try to help Eeyore and deal with the imagined Backson.
The film's other notable voices included Travis Oates as Piglet, Tom Kenny as Rabbit, Craig Ferguson as Owl, and John Cleese as narrator. Cummings's dual casting is easy to miss because Pooh and Tigger sound so distinct.
