Winnie the Pooh

One of my friends wrote on facebook that there was something disturbing about Winnie the Pooh and his friends, Winnie, who apparently seemed to have an over-eating problem, Piglet who have a nervous disorder, Eeyore with a severe depression, Tigger with ADD and Kanga with the clear case of OCD and of course Jacob who believes that his toy animals are alive. It's funny to look deeper into the layers of a children story, what kind of different characters and traits they have, a choice, I believe, the author have made in order for children to see the differenties of others and see beyond first hand impression and appearance. But all these loveable characters have a severe mental disorder, judging by our day, and still each of them are as lovable as the other one so is that a step to prepare the children for what's coming, what kind of world they are growing up and into? Or is it to give each character such a strong individuality that together they all cover the basic fears, problems and other kinda of negativity in our lives. Fear (piglet) in such an extreme case that maybe even the most cautious and skittish child would be able to say: I'm not that bad off. Inward and depressed (Eeyore) that even with the most bleak days, the most rain on your parade and nothing left to look forward to, at least I don't have it as bad as him. Are they scape-goats for our children for them to see that the glass is always half full?
I personally would rather have my children watch Winnie the Pooh and friends than Teletubbies or Barney, there is something scary about figures or animals who are of unnatural colours and way taller than everyone else.No thank you, I'll take the whole aspect of Freud's wicked mind over psychedelic sounds, noises and colours who's goal is to entertain but rather seem to brainwash.
