About
Based on the true story of the world's most famous bear.
Even as a cub, there was something special about that bear. She longed to climb higher than any bear had ever gone. She wasn't afraid to ask a squirrel for help. She wondered if there was anything bigger than the Woods.
And then, on August 24, 1914, she met Lieutenant Harry Colebourn. He named her Winnie and made her the mascot of the Second Canadian Infantry Brigade. Together they crossed the ocean to where the Great War raged. It was a time of close calls, thrilling triumphs, painful sacrifice, and great friendship. By war's end, millions knew her name.
It's not every bear who makes history.
