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.
