A Star-Studded, Completely Inappropriate New Cast For “Winnie-the-Pooh”

We’ve been watching a lot of Winnie-the-Pooh around here.  Lately Peanut has turned into quite the Pooh fangirl and we’ve seen it all.  From the classic The Many Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh to the “Mini Adventures” on YouTube and some of the newer cartoons, it seems like this is an all-Pooh-all-the-time house these days.  So much so that hubby and I have started to get a little punchy.  (And I love Pooh.)  So, as adults do, we have been entertaining ourselves while Peanut watches by brainstorming our dream inappropriate cast for a remake of The Many Adventures of Winnie-The-Pooh.  And because I think our list is too good to keep to myself, here it is:

Winnie-the-Pooh…     Alan Rickman (Professor Snape)

Tigger…     Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite, GOSH)

Rabbit…     Nick Offerman

Piglet…     Jim Carter (Carson, the butler at Downton Abbey)

Owl…     Matt LeBlanc (“I am pretty wisdomous.” ~Joey Tribbiani)

Eeyore…     Amy Poehler (rah rah Pawnee!)

Kanga…     Kim Kardashian

Roo…     James Earl Jones

Christopher Robin…     Frank Oz (Yoda… and Miss Piggie)

Narrator…      Samuel L. Jackson

What do you think of our cast?  We tried to think of the defining trait of the particular character and then cast the exact opposite.  Do you think we did a good job?  Who would you cast?
