Sterling Holloway doesn't get top billing?


OK, I can understand Sebastian Cabot getting billed in the top three but why is Sterling Holloway like 7th in the list of cast members? Winnie is in every episode and the title of the movie is "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh." for heaven's sake. IMDB ought to correct this. Sterling Holloway was a fine actor and deserves to at least be in the top three cast section.

Shame on you Amazon.

The cast was listed in alphabetical order. Sterling was credited after on his own to highlight his name. That's pretty much the same as getting top billing.

Dear IMDB_Vits,

You responded that the cast "was listed in alphabetical order."

You might want to check that out. Because, unless my understanding of the alphabet is wrong, you are mistaken.

In the Full Cast list you will find that:
Barbara Luddy comes after Junius Matthews.
John Fiedler comes after Howard Morris.
Ralph Wright is listed before Hal Smith
Jon Walmsley precedes Timothy Turner
and Don Whitaker precedes Sterling Holloway!

The last time I checked that is not alphabetical order.
Even the "Top Billed Cast" section isn't in alphabetical order.

So my original complaint is still valid.

Sincerely,

I double-checked and you're right. I think it seemed an alphabetical order at 1st sight (some last names with the same letter are together).
