Winnie the Pooh's Home Run Derby[a] is a 2007 baseball video game developed by Walt Disney Japan. The Adobe Flash–based browser game was first published online at the site DisneyGames.jp, then by Yahoo! Japan at its Yahoo! Kids portal. Later, an English translation became available at disney.com.
The player controls Disney's Winnie the Pooh as a batter in a home run derby contest. Pooh steps up to the plate against eight characters from the Winnie the Pooh franchise as pitchers, culminating in the final boss: Christopher Robin. The player advances by hitting a certain number of balls thrown by each pitcher past the outer bounds of the field. In 2012 and 2013, the game became a viral phenomenon hit because of its extreme difficulty, especially considering its target audience of young children.
