小熊維尼和它的伙伴風(fēng)靡世界80年之后，終于得到好萊塢的認(rèn)可，成為星光大道上第2308顆星的主人。在卡通片《小熊維尼》歡快的主題曲伴奏下，維尼身穿標(biāo)志性的紅色上衣，與跳跳虎、兔子瑞比和小驢屹耳等伙伴一起走上了星光大道的紅地毯，對著前來觀禮的維尼迷們揮手致意。

Winnie the Pooh sure does
love his honey, but the beloved bear now has something just as sweet: a
star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The children's character, created in the 1920s by British author A.A.
Milne, was joined Tuesday at the star's unveiling by his Hundred Acre
Wood pals Tigger, Eeyore and Rabbit.
Pooh debuted as a cartoon character in the 1966 Disney featurette "Winnie the Pooh and the Honey
Tree," and went on to star in dozens of films, specials and several
cartoon series.
"I know that Winnie would react to all this fanfare by simply saying, `Oh bother," said
Robert Iger, CEO of The Walt Disney Co. "But, Winnie, you really are worth
a bother."
Milne named Pooh after a stuffed bear owned by his son Christopher
Robin Milne.
The ceremony coincided with the DVD release of 1997's "Pooh's Grand
Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin," which marks the bear's 80th
anniversary.
