Meet the Voice of Winnie the Pooh … and Tigger, Too!
What do the lovable Winnie the Pooh and the ferocious Tasmanian Devil have in common? Voice actor Jim Cummings! He’s brought the honey-obsessed bear (and sidekick Tigger) to life for the last 30 years. And that’s not to mention some 400 other credits, including the singing voice of Scar in “The Lion King,” and the slithering, slimy Kaa in “The Jungle Book 2.” We sat down with Jim to uncover the man behind the voice, and to learn which of his iconic characters he identifies with most closely (hint: it’s someone who wears a cape).
