Winnie Ille Pu

Winnie Ille Pu

Project Overview

Winnie-the-Pooh, also called Pooh Bear, is a fictional anthropomorphic teddy bear created by English author A. A. Milne. The first collection of stories about the character was the book Winnie-the-Pooh (1926), and this was followed by The House at Pooh Corner (1928). Milne also included a poem about the bear in the children's verse book When We Were Very Young (1924) and many more in Now We Are Six (1927). All four volumes were illustrated by E. H. Shepard.


We are going to be using Alexander Lenard's translation of Winnie the Pooh(Winnie Ille Pu).

We are going to be using a Late Latin Pronunciation. Essentially, it will be pronounced similar to Italian without the Ce/Ci combination sounds, thus all C's will be hard as in K.

See the Ecclesiastical Pronunciation of Latin here: https://www.ewtn.com/expert/answers/ecclesiastical_latin.htm

That is a good rubric except for the Ch or Sh sounds which will not be pronounced. I can correct as necessary.

Latest Updates

  • Script to be sent out tomorrow

    Salvete Amici, Scripts will be sent out tomorrow for the first Chapter 1! Get ready! Vale, Sterling
  • Cast casted!

    We have gotten everyone together and we have our final cast. I am ready to begin production of the first chapter. The first chapter consists of Winnie The Pooh, Christopher Robin and the Narrator solely. However, as we go further into the book more characters are introduced(Rabbit in Chapter 2, Piglet in Chapter 3,Ior in chapter 4, Owl in Chapter 4, and Kanga in Chapter 7). There are ten chapters in the book in total in the book. Contact me how you would like to be paid, I will pay per chapter of course. Some have asked to work for free, let me know if you want to work 'pro bono' as it were. Please review the pronunciation guide, and/or look at Archytus' example in his audition for Narrator. Essentially it is the ecclesiastical pronunciation, just without the Ce/Ci(ch in English) sounds. I really appreciate you all doing this! I am ready to send out scripts for the first chapter, so let me know when you are ready to go(Pooh, Narrator, and Christopher Robin).

This is the Narrator and thus I am looking for a soothing voice here. Some pleasant to listen to. My ideal voice would something like The Narrator(Male) from this:

  • Ecce Eduardus Ursus scalis nunc tump-tump-tump occipite gradus pulsante post Christophorum Robinum descendens. 

  • Christopherus Robinus ne uno quidem verbo silentium rupit, sed oculi eius magis magisque amplifacti sunt et vultus eius magis magisque erubuit.

  • Winnie Ille Pu ad amicum suum Christophorum Robinum ivit, qui in altera parte silvae post portam viridem habitabat.

The Iconic Character, Winnie the Pooh. I really enjoy the Disney version of Winnie the Pooh but I also like the deep sounding voice from this version, either will do the trick:

  • Volo, sed exspecta momentum temporis. Efficaciter agendum est. Apis presertim fallenda est regina apium. Potesne ab imo reginam ipsam videre?

  • Dolendum est. Nunc si umbellam tenens citro ultroque commees et dicas: "Heu, eheu, aliquid imbrem praemonet" ego quoque quantum plurimum potero

  • Quis vult in terra stareCum possit volitare?Parva nubeculaCantitat carmina

Christopher Robin is very difficult to get correct, but also hard to do poorly. In a certain way, Christopher Robin is supposed to be us(the narrator constantly says 'you' rather than he says for Christopher Robin). I sort of like the Disney version but I am open to newer interpretations.

  • Significat nomen eius aureis litteris super porticulam inscriptum fuisse et eum illo sub nomine habitavisse.

  • Sed mel cum folliculis non aufers! Nonne te sub folliculo animadvertent?

  • Quod cum ita sit, tibi folliculus caeruleus est praeferendus

Piglet ought to sound frightened, or at least not too energetic. Definitely timid. I like the Disney version but I am open to new interpretations.

  • Si saltem, Pui in domo fuissem aut Christophori Robini in domo, aut Leporis in domo cum pluviae per totum hoc tempus colloquium habuissem pro solitudine, nullo cum alio negotio ac coniicere quando pluviae desinerent.

This part is tricky. I have often heard Rabbit done as a mel but have a more feminine voice. This part is can be done either way.

  • Pro certo non habui. Non ignoras, quomodo res in silva se habeat. Domus omnibus patere nequit. Circumspicere oportet. Quid de bucella quadam opinaris?

Ior definitely needs to be done with a sadder tone. I really like the Disney version here.

  • Hoc mihi ad multa quadrat, id omnia explicat. Haud mirum.

  • Non valde quomodo. Longo iam ex tempore evidenter non agiter quomodo.

I am not sure about Owl. I kind of like Playful Wise. Sort of like an eccentric wizard.

Mothering is a must. Needs a certain special touch.
