I just learned that John Fiedler and Paul Winchell both died this week, within one day of each other, actually. If you didn't know, John Fielder was the voice of Piglet and Paul Winchell was the voice of Tigger, among many other voices in Disney films that we love.
The internet is awash with tributes to these two men right now, so I'll just say this... Mr. Fiedler and Mr. Winchell, you brought joy into the lives of kids both young and old all over the world, including me. I thank you for that.
If you happen to have "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" DVD at home, pop it in tonight and watch the extras, just to meet the human faces behind a bouncy tiger and a very small pig whom you've known for years.
