Ubisoft announces Winnie the Pooh Rumbly Tumbly Adventure video game
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.
