Disney Made a Winnie the Pooh Animation For Royal Baby Archie and It’s ADORABLE

  • 2  Minute Read
Disney

If you’re like me, you can’t get enough of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and their new baby, Prince Archie. I mean…Duchess Meghan is American so little Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor has dual citizenship! We have an American prince now you guys…GAME ON! Do you think my 12-year-old daughter is too old for him?? Oh, I KID, I KID!!

As you can imagine, Harry and Meghan have received oodles of congratulations and well-wishes on Prince Archie’s birth, but the best EVER came from none other than Disney, and it made my heart melt into a puddle! It features the beloved character Winnie the Pooh drawn in the “Classic Pooh” style, and since all three of my kids had a Classic Pooh nursery, it made this mama just a little misty!

The 25-second animation features Pooh Bear making a journey from his beloved Hundred Acre Wood to Windsor Castle, carrying a large blue book. After he arrives, he is then seen sitting on the floor of a nursery at the Duchess’ feet while she and Harry look at the book as a crib with the name “Archie” on it sits nearby. 

It’s so flipping SWEET, you guys!

According to Disney, the animation sketches were hand-drawn by Disney’s Senior Principal Artist, Kim Raymond, specifically as a gift to the royal couple to commemorate their first born’s arrival.

Personally, I can’t think of a more precious gift for Prince Archie, who clearly, is not going to hurt for the material things a baby needs. It’s also quite the unique gift for a unique couple who are certainly trailblazing a lot of “firsts” in the royal world! 

You’ve gotta watch this sweet animation and tell me—is there anything more adorable???

The Isolation of Motherhood
In: Friendship, Motherhood

by Joy A. Mead

During my early years of having children, I can recall feeling like I needed more help with juggling—taking care of my little ones and our home. Although my mother-in-law was only a 10-minute drive away, she was preoccupied looking after my nephew and nieces. Awkwardly, I would only ask if it was really necessary—like a doctor’s appointment or the dentist. Even at church, it was difficult to ask for help—either we didn’t know certain members well enough to entrust our kids to their care or they were friends with children too and that hardly seemed fair to burden them. The...

You’re Learning Life by Watching Me

Every morning my daughter and I go outside for some fresh air. She feeds her chickens and plays and explores and walks around with her dog while I follow her around and have a cup of coffee.  This morning, my girl grabbed one of her coffee cups from her toy kitchen and brought it outside with her while she walked with her dog and pretended to take sips out of it.  Guys. I stood there watching her with her toy coffee cup, walking around with her animals, and I cried giant baby tears.  RELATED: I Wasn’t Counting On You Growing...

What Happens to the Mamas When Their Children Are Grown?

A friend came up to me the other day after church and commented, “I’ve never seen you alone. I had to make sure you were okay.” It’s true. I’m never alone. I usually have one or two children hanging onto me and three more milling about with my husband close. But at that moment, my husband had stepped away to collect the younger ones from the children’s service, and my older two had run off with their friends. I was standing alone. And as I stood there, one thought crossed my mind, “This is what it will be like when...

Please Don’t Ask When I’m Having Another Baby
In: Baby, Motherhood

by Megan LaPorta

We’ve all been asked it. Maybe once, maybe more times than we can count. Maybe we’ve even asked it ourselves, “When are you trying for baby #2?” It seems harmless, and most of the time it probably is. Pre-baby me never even stopped to consider that it was anything other than a curious, sometimes nosey, question to ask. The mom version of me today feels a completely different way. It’s now deeper and more complicated than it seemed in the past. The mom in me struggles every single time I’m asked this. Struggles to come up with an answer. Struggles...

Hello Midnight

by Justina Murphy

Hello again, Midnight. I wish I could say I was happy to see you. My, what a journey we have had together over the years. I must admit I thought we started out as friends, but as we meet these days, I sense an unkindness about you. Our journey began when I was somewhere around 12. Sure, I had met you in passing on occasion in years prior, but it wasn’t until now that I sought out your companionship. Some middle school girlfriends and I stayed up late, feeling rebellious against bedtime. We were fascinated by the way the world...

I Am a Wrestling Mom

As the sun is rising on a frigid winter morning, a brave and determined group of athletes are weighing in at a high school gym. They are physically and mentally preparing for a long day spent at a tournament where they will spend only minutes wrestling, despite the hours they sit and wait all day. Their sport uses offense, defense, and mental strength unlike any other sport. My sons and nephew are wrestlers. They are part of a special team of athletes who work together but compete as individuals.           Their youth team is run by all volunteer coaches with...

3 Ways to Help Your Firstborn Embrace Becoming a Big Brother

by Alex Kornswiet

My oldest son turned four right after his first brother was born. Four years of alone time with his parents. Four years of extra mommy time during the week. Four years of having toys to himself, extra attention from family members, and more. I didn’t plan a four-year age gap; it took our family a lot longer and a lot more help than we expected to have our second son, but age gaps aren’t everything. When my second son was finally on the way, I heard a lot of opinions about how our oldest son would feel once he finally...

To the mom going through a divorce: you can do this. I’ve been where you are, staring at a mountain of changes and challenges that felt insurmountable.

And when there are kids involved, there is so much more to...

Dear Busy Sports Mom: It’s Worth It

My daughter stands on the front porch every morning and waves goodbye to me as I pull out of the driveway to go to work.  She is 11, and recently eye-rolling, long sighs, and tears have become more commonplace in our daily interactions. But, there is also this: “Bye! Have a good day!” she calls to me in the quiet of early morning, neighbors not yet awake in their still dark houses. “You are AMAZING! You got this!” she continues in her little adult voice, sounding more like a soccer mom than a fifth grader.   Her hair is still a...

My son, you are 12 years old. You are a young boy in the last days before you become a young man. You are a boy fully realized, having reached the summit of childhood. You can read fat books, catch fly balls, and ride your bike to your friends’ houses. You still get excited about Pokémon cards and Nintendo games. You still want LEGO sets for your birthday and Christmas even though you enjoy them more for the building and delight of owning them than for the playing.  You still wrestle and sword fight with your little brother.
