Winnie the Pooh is babyish

My six year old niece has recently announced that she does not like Winnie the Pooh anymore because he is babyish. As a 36 year old Winnie the Pooh fan I couldn't disagree more. Am I too old to be a fan of Winnie the Pooh? Should I grow up? Or are there any other 'older' fans of Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Tiger et al?

As you can see from my nick, I am a Winnie the Pooh fan too. I also disagree with your niece. I like Winnie the Pooh since I was a baby and still love it. I believe I will love it forever. I have more than 50 Winnie the pooh and related stuffed toys at home. I have many more Winnie the pooh merchandises at home. They are all gifts from my friends who know that I am a big fan. My latest collection comes from my private tuition student. He gave a small cute Winnie the Pooh stuffed toy.

your niece is adorable! no you don't have to give up on Pooh, there just some stages on kids life that they make rule on who is babyish and who is old enough, trust me when she gets older her love for Pooh would come back

She is adorable! I think you are right, when she is older she will love Pooh again.

My dad is 74 years old and still loves Pooh! We're never too old to love the characters from our childhood.

Hi Callyw. its ok to be fan of winnie the pooh. sometimes we have to be young at heart. but sometimes children will just think of that because they have something more interesting things to focus on.
