Who doesn’t love Winnie-the-Pooh? He’s an inspiration for an incomparable number of children. Plush versions of him are taken to playdates, family vacations, and birthday parties. Kids live their entire childhoods re-imagining their backyards as the Hundred Acre Wood, wishing to play along with all A.A. Milne’s lovable creatures.

Last year, he was the first independent musician to perform on SNL. This year, Complex Magazine hailed him as a trailblazer on par with Hamilton‘s Lin-Manuel Miranda.
