Welcome to Pooh Corner is a live action/puppet television series that aired on Disney Channel, featuring the characters from the Winnie the Pooh universe portrayed by actors in human sized puppet suits, except Roo, who was originally a traditional puppet. The animatronic costumes used for the characters were created by Alchemy II, Inc., headed by Ken Forsse who later created Teddy Ruxpin. The show was first aired on April 18, 1983, the day The Disney Channel was launched. Its timeslot for its early run was at 8:30 a. m. Eastern/Pacific Time, making it the third program of The Disney Channel's 16 (later 18) hour programming day. Hal Smith, Will Ryan, Laurie Main and Ralph Wright were the only four actors from the original four Pooh shorts to reprise their roles here (Smith, who had voiced Owl ever since the beginning of Disney's Winnie the Pooh franchise, had recently replaced Sterling Holloway as the voice of Pooh; Ryan had provided Rabbit's voice in the 1983 short Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore, replacing Junius Matthews and voiced Tigger in a rare instance where the character is voiced neither by Paul Winchell or Jim Cummings; and Main was the narrator for Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore, replacing Sebastian Cabot). Wright voiced Eeyore ever since the beginning of Disney’s Winnie the Pooh franchise The show's title derives from the second Winnie the Pooh storybook, The House at Pooh Corner.

This series was the only incarnation in the history of Disney's incarnations of Winnie the Pooh in which we could actually see the narrator aside from only hearing his voice. He would present each episode. The show would start off with him greeting the viewers "Welcome to Pooh Corner" and then relate what he was talking about to an event that occurred in the Hundred Acre Wood, the home of the Pooh characters, and then he would proceed to read from a book entitled Welcome to Pooh Corner. He would then narrate the episode acted out by the characters. The action was filmed before a blue screen, rather than using traditional sets (the same technique was used for Dumbo's Circus, another live action/puppet series that ran on The Disney Channel). Since the show was designed for The Disney Channel before it began airing commercials, there were no breaks for commercials. As a result, the show lasted a full thirty minutes. The main story ran about twenty minutes followed by two shorter segments. The first segment was a sing along music video featuring one of nine songs, used over and over throughout the show's run. These songs were written by the Oscar winning Sherman Brothers who had provided the majority of the Winnie the Pooh music over the years. The Sherman Brothers also wrote the show's theme song, using the music from the original Winnie the Pooh theme song from The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, albeit with a slightly altered tempo. The last segment of the show was a presentational arts and crafts demonstration that took place at the Thoughtful Spot. One of the cast members would speak to the narrator, looking directly into the camera, while they showed the viewers at home how to make something. When the series first started out, the narrator was seen sitting in a small library. As the series progressed, he is moved into a small playroom which eventually is seen having plush versions of Pooh and his friends.

Too Smart for Strangers a 1985 TV special (which was also released to home video), where Pooh and his friends tell the viewers about strangers and molestation and what to do. During later years, the special had gained massive controversy over its mature themes, including one infamous scene where Pooh discretely discusses about child grooming and illegal touching. The live action segments of Too Smart for Strangers were directed by Ron Underwood
