Join Pooh and All His Friends on a New Video Game Adventure

SAN FRANCISCO – February 15, 2005 – Ubisoft, one of the world’s largest video game publishers, and Disney Interactive, a publishing label of Buena Vista Games, Inc., today announced the launch of Disney's Winnie the Pooh’s Rumbly Tumbly Adventure. The game features Winnie the Pooh, one of Disney's most beloved properties, and a great birthday adventure in the Hundred Acre Wood. Rated “E” for everyone, the game is releasing on the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, Nintendo GameCube™ system and Game Boy® Advance system.

Developed by Phoenix Studio, this new Action/Adventure game for children ages three and up allows players to follow five different birthday adventures while playing as Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore or Piglet. Players must use the special skills of each character, such as Piglet’s scary face or Eeyore’s butterfly collecting, in order to help Winnie the Pooh advance through each level. Players will need to avoid the fast-moving Heffalumps and Woozles and, at the same time, collect honey pots to offer the bees in exchange for special items.

“The game is specifically designed to be fun for younger players while using a brand that is trusted and loved by parents,” said Helene Juguet, director of marketing at Ubisoft. “The game’s launch date coincides with the highly anticipated release of Disney’s new theatrical film, Pooh’s Heffalump Movie, which adds an extra dimension of excitement to this launch.”

Expanded features for PlayStation®2 and Nintendo GameCube™ include five mini-games and a special Junior mode where players can explore the Hundred Acre Wood and interact with their favorite Pooh characters at their own pace. Whether it’s finding a new house for Eeyore or helping Tigger out of sticky situation, players will be entertained for hours as they help Pooh celebrate birthdays, find honey pots, and avoid mischievous Heffalumps and Woozles. Disney’s Winnie the Pooh’s Rumbly Tumbly Adventure is available for a $29.99 MSRP.

I think the game and the movie are totally unrelated...
