Winnie-the-Pooh Pays a Visit (Russian: Винни-Пух идёт в гости, romanized: Vinni-Pukh idyot v gosti listenⓘ) is a 1971 animated film by Soyuzmultfilm directed by Fyodor Khitruk.
A new character (Rabbit) is added to the core cast of the first part: Winnie-the-Pooh, the narrator, and the Piglet.
Despite arriving uninvited, Rabbit welcomes his friends and offers them honey and condensed milk (during the snack, Pooh unknowingly tied Piglet's mouth shut with a towel).
[4] The animation characters, as designed by Khitruk's team, are featured on the 1988 Soviet and 2012 Russian postal stamps; they are permanently painted on a public streetcar running through the Sokolniki Park, and their sculptures are installed in Ramenki District in Moscow.
[5] When Khitruk visited the Disney Studios, Wolfgang Reitherman, the director of Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day, which won the 1968 Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film, told him that he liked the Soviet version better than his own.
