Why: Pooh's Corner is right outside Splash Mountain. Mike says "Pooh" is a title, like Alexander the Great or the Grand Poobah. I never read any of those books or watched a movie. Pooh's voice grates me.
Answer: He is the only one! Author A.A. Milne's son Christopher [Robin] had a stuffed bear, and he also liked a black American bear named Winnie that lived in the London Zoo. The real Winnie was named after Winnipeg, Canada, the hometown of the lieutenant who purchased the bear cub for $20 in Ontario and smuggled him into England. Here's Winnipeg getting fed some milk. (Christopher was allegedly allowed to also hang out with him inside the cage and feed him, too, but I don't know about that.)
"Pooh" was the name of a swan the family saw once on vacay... or something. It was originally the name of a swan at the beginning of Milne's book When We Were Very Young. So there's Winnie-the-Pooh. (Disney later dropped the hyphens.)
