Is Pooh Ok for Children

Today i watched an episode of the beloved character Winnie-the-Pooh. The show today was 'A Day for Eeyor', the story of Eeyor's friends forgetting his birthday. The show opened my eyes to how poisoning it could be to our children's eyes.
First off, the story is based on the imaginary world of a small boy who has developed the voice of a child. Now it is ok for a child to imagine and have fun, but to develop such a strong sense of friendship with your stuffed animals to the point of removing yourself from society is unhealthy. Also i believe Christopher Robin might want to seek mental help for depression and self awareness because of the types of characters he has created. The main character Pooh is a slightly obese bear that struggles with depression, addiction to honey, and a extremely low IQ with leads to self doubt. The many characters that add to the story hold similar characteristics. Piglet is a self doubting depressed little pig who suffers from an extreme speech impediment. Rabbit is an arrogant creature that seeks to take control of all situations, but cannot manage to win the hearts over of anyone. Owl spends his life pretending to be a very inteligent creature, while it is easy to see he suffers from dyslexia because of the way he attempts to spell Happy Birthday, Hipy Hapy Bthuthday and so on. The cast is completed by Tigger, whose name developed from a misspelling of his name, and a single mother Kanga with a possibly illegitimate child, Roo. Now besides the story being made up of many troubled characters that poison children's minds to become self doubting and depressed, it also introduces many miss-spellings such as 'howse'.
I believe that we must be careful about what we expose to the young generations of today, because i think over time it will be evident that shows such as the innocent 'Winnie-the-Pooh' have messed with children's minds all too much. A new movement in life must begin today.

Don't get me wrong i love Winnie-the-Pooh just thought id give another view. So my day was pretty good, but im not gunna talk about it because i need to study and sleep. Have a great day!
