Original Winnie-the-Pooh illustrations animated for the first time in iPad app — telegraph.co.uk

The original AA Milne and EH Shepard Winnie-the-Pooh stories have been digitised in an iPad and iPhone app, released today. Classic Pooh, released by children's publisher Egmont Press, is free for users to download and comes with one Pooh story, with another available to buy for £1.99. Users can either read the story themselves, or have it read to them by the voice of actor Rufus Jones. The iPad app makes the original stories fully interactive, animating EH Shepard's 1920s illustrations for the first time. Tim Jones, publisher at Egmont Press, told Metro: "We’ve been working with illustrations that are 85 years old which have a place in British culture, illustrations that are greatly loved. We had to look at it very sensitively and that’s what we’ve tried to do."
