History Characters / WinnieThePoohMainCast

** Some of the Disney works imply Rabbit, despite his pomposity, is actually [[InferioritySuperiorityComplex rather insecure about how others feel about him]]. Not only does he often get extremely offended when he thinks he isn't appreciated, but the ''New Adventures'' episode "Rabbit Marks The Spot" has him convince himself that the others will hate his guts after he pulls a rather mean spirited prank.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: The "moron" part is obvious -- there's a reason he's consistently described as being a Bear of Very Little Brain. But, when he needs to, Pooh can be surprisingly clever in his own way, and often ends up resolving the various problems troubling the woods. For example, taming Wooster in ''The New Adventures'' when the rest of the animals are scared stiff of the giant woozel.

* {{Hypochondria}}: Not normally, but in one of the movies, when he thinks Owl has a cold, he says, "I'll probably catch it too" and later claims he has a cold when he clearly does not. He also thinks he has a cold in the ''My Friends Tigger and Pooh'' episode "Darby, Solo Sleuth".

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: As noted in "''When We Were Very Young,'' "Pooh" was originally the name of a wild swan the real Christopher Robin tried to tame whose personality and name got transposed onto a bear after being fascinated with Canadian bears.

** He also lives under the name of Sanders- but this just means he [[LiteralMetaphor has the name written over the door of his home, and lives under it.]]

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He disappeared for a long interval after ''Blustery Day'', not appearing again until ''New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh'' two decades after. Despite becoming a regular in afterwards, Gopher slipped OutOfFocus ''again'' in the Disneytoons produced works.[[note]]his most recent appearance in the Pooh franchise was in the 2004 educational video ''Winnie the Pooh: 123s'', besides some StockFootage appearances in ''Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie'' and ''The Mini Adventures of Winnie the Pooh''[[/note]] He was absent from the 2011 film, which saw the return of Owl, who disappeared from the ''[[JustForPun Poohniverse]]'' around the same time. He doesn't appear in ''Christopher Robin'' either, which makes sense, as gophers aren't native to England.

* {{Catchphrase}}: "Oh, bother!".

[[caption-width-right:250:''[[{{Catchphrase}} "But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is I'm the only one!"]]'']]

* {{Catchphrase}}: "Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!" and "[[ButNowIMustGo TTFN: Ta-Ta For Now!]]". Also his signature growl.

* DoesNotLikeSpam: "Tiggers don't like honey!"

[[caption-width-right:250:''[[{{Catchphrase}} "Oh, dear. Oh, d-d-d-d-dear, dear!"]]'']]

[[caption-width-right:337:''[[{{Catchphrase}} "Thanks for noticin' me."]]'']]

* {{Catchphrase}}: "Thanks for noticing me."

* TheEeyore: The TropeNamer. He's perpetually pessimistic and negative, and his most famous CatchPhrase is "Thanks for noticing me". Ironically, during one episode of the cartoon series, the entire cast notices Eeyore, just sitting on a hill and staring and try to cheer him up. The episode ends with Piglet asking Eeyore why he was so sad while Eeyore is still sitting on the hilltop, watching a beautiful sunset, and Eeyore simply asks "What makes you think I'm sad?"

* AscendedExtra: The 70s/80s Gold Key comic book is among the few Disney works where Kanga ''isn't'' OutOfFocus and is regularly with the main group and even supplies a lot of the front cover gags. Naturally this often came at the expense of her AdaptationalIntelligence.

** The live-action movie has this in full-force. As an adult, he's distressed by the fact that his job forces him to spend time away from his wife and daughter and his boss is making him fire several employees despite him promising the workers good jobs... to say nothing of coming back from World War 2 emotionally scarred by three years of endless killing.

* CharacterFocus: The original novels were already to some degree an EnsembleCast work, though the Disney franchise takes it a step even further, with characters getting whole stories and character studies to themselves. Certain eras also tend to favour particular characters. The 1980/90s ''New Adventures'' series and specials for example gave more appearances to Gopher and Owl, with Kanga and Roo making only sporadic appearances, while the 2000s Disneytoon Studios cartoons by contrast slowly phased out the former two, while Kanga and Roo got pushed more as major characters, almost becoming the main perspective characters over Pooh himself by the end of the run.

* MinorLivingAlone: In most versions he seems to live by himself in the woods. Averted in ''WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh'', where his mother sometimes appears.

* MoleMiner

* {{Talking to Plants}}: In "Eeyi Eeyi Eeyore", he talks to the plant he is taking care of and even sings songs to it.

* {{Talking to Plants}}: Sometimes he talks to his vegetables in the garden and even gives them names.
