This is a complete list of characters appearing in the Winnie-the-Pooh books and the Disney adaptations of the series.
Winnie-the-Pooh
Winnie-the-Pooh, or Pooh for short, is a soft-voiced, lovable and quiet anthropomorphic bear who is the protagonist. Despite being naive and slow-witted, he is a friendly, thoughtful, and sometimes insightful character who is always willing to help his friends and try his best. A prime motivation is his love for honey (sometimes milk and chocolate), which quite often leads to trouble. He is Piglet and Tigger's best friend. In the books, Pooh is a talented poet, and the stories are frequently punctuated by his poems and "hums". He is humble about his slow-wittedness, but comfortable with his creative gifts. In the Disney adaptations, Pooh is just the titular protagonist of the franchise. He speaks in a soft Anglicized American with a soft Anglicized American accent and he wears a red shirt. His catchphrases are "Oh bother!" and "Think, think, think". He has been voiced by Sterling Holloway since 1966 until 1977, Hal Smith (1981-1983) and currently Jim Cummings.
Christopher Robin
is the sole human character in the story books, he has a cheerful and compassionate personality and is someone that Pooh and the others look up to. Despite being a child, he is much wiser and more mature than many of the other characters. Pooh considers both Christopher Robin and Piglet to be his best friends. Christopher crush on Anne in Now We Are Six. Christopher Robin matures considerably over the course of the books. Several chapters in The House at Pooh Corner are concerned with Christopher Robin beginning to go to school and his increasing book-learning. In the final chapter, Christopher Robin leaves his stuffed animals behind and asks Pooh to understand and to always remember him. re-imagines him as an American boy living in the suburban house 100 Acre Road whose backyard connects directly to the Hundred Acre Wood. His mother also appears in the series and Robin is apparently their surname in that continuity. Some of these elements were reused for The Book of Pooh, but the animals are once again characters in Christopher Robin's storybook. His hollow tree house does not appear from both series. He has a little sister named Darby, a 6-year-old girl who hosts My Friends Tigger & Pooh, but he only appeared in the show twice, due to him going off to college. By the live-action film Christopher Robin, however, he took a turn for the worse. Due to the education he received in boarding school, the death of his father, his work as a World War II soldier, and his job, he came to believe that the more he works, the better his family will be, even missing a weekend at his old house with his family so he could work, and planning to send his daughter, Madeline, to a boarding school so she could receive the same education he had, mistakes which end up distancing him from his daughter and his wife, Evelyn. He became completely workaholic, choosing to work instead of having fun with his friends and family, to the point of refusing to go with his family to Sussex for the weekend and helping Pooh find their friends due to him having to work. In the Disney adaptations, he has been voiced by Bruce Reitherman (1966), Timothy Turner (1974), Jon Walmsley (1968), Sean Marshall (1977), Kim Christianson (1983), Tim Hoskins (1988-1995), Edan Gross (1991), Brady Bluhm (1997-1999), Tom Attenborough (2000), Tom Wheatly (2003), William Green (2002), Frankie J. Galasso, Kath Soucie, Jeff Bennett (singing voices) Paul Tiesler (2001-2003), Struan Erlenborn (2007-2010) and Jack Boulter (2011–present).
Piglet
Piglet is a timid pig and Pooh's best friend besides Christopher Robin. In the books he is a timorous small animal, who often takes his lead from Pooh unless overcome by fear. But increasingly through the stories he shows himself to be very brave when faced with a crisis and given sufficient encouragement (usually by Pooh). His favorite food acorns. In the Disney series he is kind, gentle and ordinarily quite shy, but with Pooh by his side, he often overcomes his fears. His catchphrase is "Oh, d-d-dear!". Piglet lives in a beech tree that he likes to keep neat and tidy, and can sing very well. He has been voiced by John Fiedler (1968-2005), Phil Baron (1983-1986), Steve Schatzberg (1996-2008), Jeff Bennett and Travis Oates (2005–current).
Heffalumps
Heffalumps are elephant-like creatures first mentioned in the fifth chapter of the first book, and later in the third chapter of the second. In the books, Piglet twice has a run-in with a Heffalump that is only a figment of his imagination. The Disney version establishes them as real creatures. Like Pooh imagined in the books, Heffalumps are fond of honey and like to take it for themselves. There have been several real Heffalump characters in the Disney version. All Heffalumps are genuinely good. Lumpy the Heffalump is Roo's good friend, appearing in Pooh's Heffalump Movie and also, My Friends Tigger and Pooh. In The Book of Pooh there were Heffalumps named: Herman, Hector and Haji.
Woozles
A woozle is a weasel-like creature imagined by the characters in the third and ninth chapters of Winnie-the-Pooh. No Woozles actually appear in A. A. Milne's original stories, but the book depicts them as living in cold, snowy places. They are first mentioned when Pooh and Piglet attempt to capture one, which they assume made the tracks in the snow going around a larch spinney. The more they follow them, the more sets of tracks they find, but Christopher Robin shows them that the tracks around the spinney are their own. Woozles appear in the song "Heffalumps and Woozles" in Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day, which establishes their fondness for stealing honey and their association with Heffalumps. In The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Woozles are real creatures. They once recruited a giant Woozle named Wooster (also voiced by Peter Cullen) who turned against them when Pooh and his friends taught him the value of friendship. Woozles do not appear in the Disney adaptations nearly as often as Heffalumps do and, unlike Heffalumps, always attempt to act as villains, with Wooster being the only one to change his mind on this.
Heffabee
Heffabees have an elephant's head and feet and a bee's body. One first appeared in Blustery Day. In Piglet's Big Game and Winnie the Pooh's Rumbly Tumbly Adventure, they are faced from Pooh’s Dream, Roo's Dream, and in the final level. They move relatively fast, but every time they get scared, they move back a space. They also appeared in both sizes big and small in Piglet’s Birthday, Tigger’s Birthday, Eeyore’s Birthday, and Pooh’s Birthday.
Mr. Narrator
The storyteller who speaks off-screen. Sometimes the characters, who are aware that they are in a book, speak with him while facing him. They sometimes affectionately call him "Mr. Narrator". He sometimes uses his position to help the characters, since he can manipulate the book and pages. Some stories, such as Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin have a narrator, but omit the "book" feature, so the characters are unaware of him. Welcome to Pooh Corner is the only time when viewers actually see his face. He does not appear at all in The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Piglet's Big Movie (only in the movie) and Pooh's Heffalump Movie (in Pooh's Heffalump Movie, Pooh is the narrator). He is the only Disney-only character who returns for Winnie the Pooh. Typically, he speaks in a Southern English with a Southern English accent. Voiced by Sebastian Cabot, Laurie Main, David Warner, John Hurt, Roger L. Jackson, Roy Dotrice, David Ogden Stiers, Michael York and John Cleese
