List of Winnie-the-Pooh characters

This is a list of characters appearing in the “Winnie-the-Pooh” books and the Disney adaptations of the series.
Main characters.
Winnie-the-Pooh.
Winnie-the-Pooh, or Pooh for short, is an anthropomorphic, soft-voiced, cuddly, loveable and quiet teddy bear and the main protagonist. Despite being naïve 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, which quite often leads to trouble.
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, in which the character's name lacks hyphens, Pooh has a soft voice, wears a red shirt and his catchphrases are "Oh, bother!" and "Think, think, think". He has been voiced by Sterling Holloway (1965–1977), Hal Smith (1981–1986), and by Jim Cummings (1988–present). Cummings reprised his role for the "Christopher Robin" film.
Christopher Robin.
The only human character in the story books, he has a "cheerful" and compassionate personality and is someone whom 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 Robin matures considerably over the course of the books. Some chapters in "The House at Pooh Corner" cover 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.
In the Disney adaptations, he is 10 years old and only goes to day school. As in the books, he is best friends with both Piglet and Pooh, and he and Pooh always do nothing together. 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. 
Christopher Robin is voiced by Bruce Reitherman (1965–1966), Robie Lester ("A Happy Birthday Party with Winnie the Pooh"), Jon Walmsley (1967–1968), Ginny Tyler (Disneyland Records), Timothy Turner (1974), Kim Christianson (1983), Tim Hoskins (1988–1991), Edan Gross (1991), Brady Bluhm (1997–1999), Tom Attenborough (2000), Tom Wheatley (2003), William Green (2002), Paul Tiesler (2001–2003), Struan Erlenborn (2007–2010), Jack Boulter (2011), and Oliver Bell (2017). Christopher Robin starred in his own film, portrayed by Ewan McGregor as an adult and Orton O'Brien a child (2018).
Tigger.
Tigger is Pooh's happy, less-than-responsible and a sometimes troublemaking tiger friend. He bounces around, especially bouncing on others. He is full of energy, outgoing, and likes to have fun and is so overconfident that he thinks that any task is "what tiggers do best". He becomes Roo's best friend and later Lumpy's when Roo and Lumpy become best friends.
In the Disney films Tigger commonly mispronounces words, like "ridickerus" (ridiculous) and often causes chaos rather than good. However, Tigger is also shown to be tough, fearless, optimistic and resourceful; he is shown to be protective of Roo when Kanga's not around, as seen in "Too Smart For Strangers". His main catchphrase is "Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo!" when he is happy. He has been voiced by Paul Winchell (1968–1999), Sam Edwards (Disneyland Records), Will Ryan (1983–1986), and Jim Cummings (1989–present). Cummings reprised his role for the "Christopher Robin" film.
He often uses nicknames for the other characters, calling Pooh "Pooh Boy", "Fluff Boy" and "Buddy Bear", Rabbit "Ol' Long Ears", "Fluffface" and "Bunny Boy", Eeyore "Donkey Boy" (with Tigger pronouncing it as 'dunkey'), Piglet "Piglet Ole Pal" (pronouncing it as "Piggle-it"), Roo "Roo Boy", and Kanga "Mrs. Kanga Ma’am". In "The Tigger Movie" and "The Book of Pooh", Tigger also sometimes calls Owl "Beak Lips" and "Buddy Bird".
Piglet.
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). He is fond of "haycorns".
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), Robie Lester (Disneyland Records), Phil Baron (1983–1986), Travis Oates (2005–present), and in the "Christopher Robin" film, he was voiced by Nick Mohammed.
Eeyore.
Eeyore is Pooh's ever-glum, pessimistic and sarcastic donkey friend who has trouble keeping his tail attached to his bottom, since the nail keeps falling out. Eeyore has a house made of sticks, which falls apart (many times in the Disney films as a running gag) and has to be rebuilt.
In the Disney cartoons, Eeyore is slow-talking and more cautious than some of the other animals, and is often reluctant to go along with their actions, but usually does not bother trying to oppose anyone because he believes it to be futile to try. His catchphrase is "Thanks for noticing" as indicated to himself. He has been voiced by Ralph Wright (1966–1983), Thurl Ravenscroft (Disneyland Records), Ron Feinberg (1981), Ron Gans (1983–1986), Peter Cullen (1988–present), Bud Luckey (2011 film), and in the "Christopher Robin" film, he was voiced by Brad Garrett.
Kanga.
Kanga is a female kangaroo and the doting mother of Roo. The two live in a house near the Sandy Pit in the northwestern part of the forest. Kanga is the only female character to appear in the books and in most Winnie-the-Pooh media. She was based on a stuffed toy that belonged to Christopher Robin Milne.
Kanga is kind-hearted, calm, patient and docile. She likes to keep things clean and organized, and offers motherly advice and food to anyone who asks her. She is protective over Roo, almost obsessively, and treats him with kind words and gentle discipline. She also has a sense of humor, as revealed in chapter seven of "Winnie-the-Pooh" when Rabbit connives to kidnap Roo, leaving Piglet in his place; Kanga pretends not to notice that Piglet is not Roo and proceeds to give him Roo's usual bath, much to Piglet's dismay. These events were adapted into animated form in a scene from "Piglet's Big Movie" (2003).
In the Disney adaptations, Kanga's personality is unchanged (though she is much more sensible and down to earth, and gives Roo some level of independence), but she plays a slightly lesser role and does not appear nearly as often as Roo does. Additionally, Tigger lives in his own house instead of with Kanga (although he is seen frequently visiting her house). Kanga also has a love for carrots. Kanga has never had a movie where she's the lead or co-lead.
She has been voiced by Barbara Luddy (1966–1977), Robie Lester (Disneyland Records), Julie McWhirter (1983), Patricia Parris (1988–1991), Tress MacNeille (1994–1999), Kath Soucie (2000–present), Kristen Anderson-Lopez (2011 film), and in the film "Christopher Robin" (2018), she was voiced by Sophie Okonedo.
Roo.
Roo is Kanga's cheerful, playful, energetic son, who moved to the Hundred Acre Wood with her. His best friends are Tigger and a young Heffalump named Lumpy who loves to play with him. Roo is the youngest of the main characters.
When Kanga and Roo first come to the forest in chapter seven of "Winnie-the-Pooh", everyone thinks Kanga is a fierce animal, but discover this to be untrue and become friends with her. In the books, when Tigger comes to the forest, she welcomes him into her home, attempts to find him food he likes and allows him to live with her and Roo. After this, Kanga treats him much the way she does her own son.
Voiced in the Disney films by Clint Howard (1966–1977), Robie Lester (Disneyland Records), Dori Whitaker (1974), Dick Billingsley (1983), Kim Christianson (1983–1986), Nicholas Melody (1988–1990), Nikita Hopkins (1994–2005), Jimmy Bennett (2004–2005), Max Burkholder (2007–2010), Wyatt Hall (2011), Aidan McGraw (2019) and in the "Christopher Robin" film, he was voiced by Sara Sheen.
Rabbit.
Rabbit is one of the characters not based on a toy once owned by Christopher Robin Milne. He was said to be based on a real rabbit where they lived. He is friendly, yet capable of being impatient and irritable. He fancies himself the smartest animal in the Hundred Acre Wood, since he is not scatterbrained like Tigger. He insists on doing things his way and is obsessed with rules, planning and order. He often bosses others around, but deep down, he cares a lot about his friends.
In the Walt Disney films, he takes pride in his garden and dislikes it when the other characters disrupt it. Disney's Rabbit likes gardening, cleaning, and magic tricks.
Voiced in the Disney films by Junius Matthews (1965–1977), Robie Lester ("A Happy Birthday Party with Winnie the Pooh"), Dallas McKennon (Disneyland Records), Ray Erlenborn (1983), Will Ryan (1983–1986), Ken Sansom (1988–2010), Tom Kenny (2011–present), and in the "Christopher Robin" film, he was voiced by Peter Capaldi.
Owl.
Owl is the stuffy and talkative eldest main character who presents himself as a mentor and teacher to the others. He was not based on a stuffed toy, so in the illustrations he looks more like a live animal.
Owl and most of his friends believe that he is the most intelligent animal in the wood, but he is really quite scatterbrained. He often rambles on into long-winded speeches and uses words that his friends do not understand. Though Owl likes to present himself as very knowledgeable, like most of the other characters he does not spell very well; he even spells his own name "Wol". When Pooh comes to him for help in writing a birthday greeting for Eeyore, Owl tells Pooh that he is writing, "A very happy birthday with love from Pooh", but in fact writes "HIPY PAPY BTHUTHDTH THUTHDA BTHUTHDY". Pooh, who cannot read or write himself, goes on his way happy with Owl's work and grateful for his help. When Rabbit (who is quite literate) comes to Owl to discuss a notice that Christopher Robin has left, Owl cannot read the notice. But rather than admit this, Owl anxiously bluffs his way through the conversation until he finally tricks Rabbit into reading the notice out loud, at which point Owl resumes his wise demeanor as if he had known all along what it had said.
In the books, Owl has a superior but kindly manner towards the others. He can be cross and easily annoyed, especially when his friends ignore or interrupt his long-winded speeches. He sometimes wears reading glasses and he uses his talons for hands, not his wings like in the Disney version. He lives in a tree known as "The Chestnuts", described as an "old world residence of great charm". That house is blown down by a storm in the eighth chapter of "The House at Pooh Corner". Eeyore eventually discovers what he believes is the perfect new house for Owl, apparently without noticing that it is actually Piglet's house. Nonetheless, Piglet offers the house to Owl, who calls his new home "The Wolery".
In the Disney adaptations, Owl is much more jovial and friendly. He speaks with a strong Southern English accent. He enjoys telling stories about his relatives, including his cousin, Dexter, whenever something reminds him of one, but many of his stories are pointless or absurd. His house blows down and he moves into Piglet's house in "Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day", but these events are disregarded from "Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore" onward. In "Welcome to Pooh Corner", Owl always wears glasses and loves to cook. He does not appear in "My Friends Tigger & Pooh". Owl has never had a movie where he's the lead/co lead. In a Russian version called Vinni Pukh, Owl was a female character in that series.
He has been voiced by Hal Smith (1966–1994), Junius Matthews ("A Happy Birthday Party with Winnie the Pooh"), Sam Edwards (Disneyland Records), Andre Stojka (1997–2007), Craig Ferguson (2011 film), and in the "Christopher Robin" film, he was voiced by Toby Jones.
Gopher.
Gopher is a fictional gray anthropomorphic bucktoothed gopher with a habit of whistling out his sibilant consonants. He is based on the beaver in "Lady and the Tramp". He often accidentally falls into one of the many holes he makes in the forest ground by forgetting to watch where he is going. Gopher first appears in "Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree" and regularly breaks the fourth wall by pointing out that he is "not in the book", although in-universe he explains this statement to mean he is 'not in the Phone Book', and the purpose of his statement being to get better business. Originally, he was intended to replace Piglet, but he later became his own character. He also appears in "Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day" with a smaller role, warning Pooh about the "Windsday".
Minor characters in the books.
Bees.
A swarm of honeybees makes their debut in the very first chapter. They live in the hive where Pooh tries to get his honey. They frequently appear in virtually every version of the Disney adaptations. There appear to be several different beehives in the Hundred Acre Wood. Whenever Pooh and his friends encounter the bees, trouble usually occurs with the bees going after them.
Rabbit's friends and relations.
Many small mammals and insects in the books are collectively known as Rabbit's Friends and Relations. They do not generally do much or have much character development, and only a few of them are named.
Heffalumps.
Heffalumps are elephant-like monsters first mentioned in the fifth chapter of the first book and 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. Some Heffalumps are villainous creatures and some are genuinely good. Lumpy the heffalump is Roo's good friend, appearing in "Pooh's Heffalump Movie" and "My Friends Tigger & Pooh".
Woozles.
A Woozle is a weasel-like monster 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. A Woozle named Stan and his sidekick Heff the Heffalump are recurring villains. They once recruited a giant Woozle named Wooster (also voiced by Jim Cummings) 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.
Woozle Hill on Galindez Island was named for the creatures.
Jagulars.
Jagulars are imagined jaguar-like fierce creatures that are only mentioned in the fourth chapter of "The House at Pooh Corner", in which Pooh and Piglet mistake Tigger for one. According to Pooh, they always yell "Help" (or "Halloo" in "Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too!"), hang in trees, and drop on you when you look up. Jagulars have yet to actually appear in any Disney adaptations. Their most prominent role to date is in "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" where they are mentioned more often and are the main antagonists in a couple of episodes.
Backson.
The Backson is a creature imagined by the characters after misunderstanding Christopher Robin's note, which meant he would be "back soon" from school. He is mentioned but not seen in "The House at Pooh Corner" as "the Spotted or Herbaceous Backson". He is the main antagonist in "Winnie the Pooh" where the animals think he has captured Christopher Robin. Owl describes him as a large, ugly, mean and scary purple and blue creature who ruins or destroys many everyday items, such as books, socks and crayons. Pooh and his friends build a trap to try to capture him (a pit with a trail of books, socks, dishes, toys and other items leading to it), but Christopher Robin reveals that he was never captured, just away at school. At the end of the film, the Backson turns out to be real, but he is a kind and helpful creature who wants to return people's things to them. However, the trap does capture him, as he picks up all the items, intending to return them to their owners, and then falls into the pit.
Backson is voiced by Huell Howser.
Uncle Robert.
Uncle Robert was Owl's uncle, whose portrait hangs on Owl's wall. He is mentioned in the eighth chapter of "The House at Pooh Corner", but never actually appears. His portrait appears in "Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore" when Owl says Uncle Robert celebrated his 103rd birthday, despite claiming to be 97. "Return to the Hundred Acre Wood" reveals that Uncle Robert is dead, but Owl keeps his ashes in a vase and attempts to write his biography.
Characters in "Return to the Hundred Acre Wood".
Lottie.
Lottie is an otter and the only new major character in "Return to the Hundred Acre Wood." Lottie is a "feisty" character who is also good at cricket and insists on proper etiquette. She wears a pearl necklace and can play the mouth organ, but is a little snide and snobby in her remarks. She makes her home in a wooden trunk filled with water that she calls Fortitude Hall. According to Benedictus, "Lottie the Otter truly embodies Winnie-the-Pooh's values of friendship and adventure seen throughout Milne's work, thus making the perfect companion for everyone's favourite bear."
Grandad Buck.
Grandad Buck is Rabbit's grandfather. He wears glasses and is described as "Very Ancient and the Head of the Rabbit Family". He does not entirely approve of Rabbit, but gives him advice anyway. He knew Owl's late Uncle Robert, who sent him letters.
Thesaurus.
A Thesaurus is what Piglet imagines to be a large reptilian creature in a similar way to how the characters imagined Heffalumps and other creatures in the original books. Even after Piglet learns what the word "thesaurus" means, he still imagines it to be an animal.
Characters in "".
Penguin.
Brian Sibley introduced Penguin in the story "Winter".
Major characters created by Disney.
The 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 "" 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" 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 with a Southern-English accent.
Voiced by Sebastian Cabot, Laurie Main, David Warner, John Hurt, Roger L. Jackson David Ogden Stiers, Michael York and John Cleese
Gopher.
Gopher is a much more prominent character in "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh". The series depicts him as a hard worker who takes pride in building tunnels and doing other work, and enjoys blowing things up with dynamite. Gopher and Rabbit often disagree with and complain at each other. In the episode "Lights Out", he is afraid of the dark (mostly instigated by Tigger's claims of dangerous creatures living within his dark tunnels). His grandfather also appears. Gopher's most recent appearances were in "A Winnie the Pooh Thanksgiving", "Winnie the Pooh: A Valentine for You" and "Boo to You Too! Winnie the Pooh". The latter was included as part of "Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie". Gopher was notably absent from the 2011 film. After 15 years of absence, Gopher appears in "Kingdom Hearts III" in the Hundred Acre Wood world where Sora reunites with Pooh, Gopher, Piglet, Rabbit, Tigger, Roo, and Lumpy.
Voiced by Howard Morris (1965–1977), Dallas McKennon (Disneyland Records), and Michael Gough (1988–present)
Kessie.
Kessie is a blue bird with a white belly. She debuted in "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" episode "Find Her, Keep Her". Kessie is cheerful, brave and eager to prove herself. As a nestling, Rabbit saved her from a snowstorm and she came to live with him and nicknamed him "Rabbie". Rabbit was very protective of her and initially did not want her to fly. After she finally learned to fly, she migrated south for the winter, despite a reluctant Rabbit, but returned in "A Bird in the Hand", where she has since matured into a young adult bird. In later appearances, she has reverted to being a juvenile bird. After appearing in "Seasons of Giving", Kessie was relaunched as a main character in "The Book of Pooh", her first regular role, though after the series, Kessie is never seen or mentioned again.
Voiced by Laura Mooney, Amber Hood, Stephanie D'Abruzzo, and Amanda Maddock.
Lumpy.
Heffridge Trumpler Brompet "Lumpy" Heffalump IV is a young lavender Heffalump with a tuft of purple hair on his head, a furry bobble-tail and a British accent and is Roo's closest best friend. He lives in a part of the forest called Heffalump Hollow with his mother. He has a stuffed alligator named Alvin and enjoys a snack called rumpledoodles. Lumpy debuts in "Pooh's Heffalump Movie". The characters were initially afraid of Heffalumps and set out to capture one. Likewise, Lumpy's mother told him not to leave Heffalump Hollow because of scary creatures outside of it. After Roo "captured" Lumpy, they became best friends and were not afraid of each other any more. Lumpy also features in "Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie" and "My Friends Tigger & Pooh".
He is voiced by Kyle Stanger in the films and by Oliver Dillon in "My Friends Tigger & Pooh".
Mama Heffalump.
Mama Heffalump is Lumpy's mother and the biggest resident of the Hundred Acre Wood. She first appears in "Pooh's Heffalump Movie" saving Roo from being trapped in a pile of logs, and later appears in episodes of "My Friends Tigger & Pooh".
Voiced by Brenda Blethyn/Patricia Parris.
Darby.
Darby is a 6-year-old feisty, imaginative and tomboyish red-headed girl who is the hostess of "My Friends Tigger & Pooh" and is believed to be Christopher Robin's younger sister. She is the leader of the problem-solving Super Sleuths along with Tigger, Pooh and her pet puppy Buster. They are the only four characters to appear in every episode. Darby is brave, inquisitive, clever and imaginative. Her catchphrases are "Time to slap my cap" and "Good sleuthin', everyone!" For the most part, she replaced Christopher Robin, who was away at college and rarely appears in the "My Friends Tigger & Pooh", but the episode "Christopher Froggin" reveals that she is Christopher Robin's young best friend. Christopher Robin only appeared in two episodes. Darby last appeared in the episode "Darby's Favorite Place".
Voiced by Chloë Grace Moretz (US Version), Kimberlea Berg (UK Version)
Buster.
Buster is Darby's beloved and curious pet puppy and sidekick in "My Friends Tigger & Pooh". He is white and wears a red collar with a gold tag. He appears in every episode and is a member of the Super Sleuths. Though he often seems to be only tagging along with the group, he is often a valuable asset in their work. Buster likes to yap loudly when he is excited or on the scent of something.

A bouncing robot who only appears in "Tigger Gets Bounced". Rabbit built Springs to replace Tigger's bouncing. Tigger and Springs compete in a bouncing contest that ends with Springs winning, which gratefully hurts Tigger's feelings. After Beaver foolishly tries to use Springs to mash dirty water (even though Rabbit warns him that Springs isn't supposed to get wet), Springs then short circuits and becomes hostile. Tigger battles Springs while protecting others from his rampage. After Tigger and Springs disappear behind a hill, an unseen fight is heard. In the end, Tigger comes out from behind the hill, concluding that he had defeated Springs (although Springs' remains are not seen after this).
The Snowmen.
A group of giant snowmen who only appear in Super Sleuth Christmas Movie. When Darby and friends come across them, they come alive. Piglet is frightened of them, but Holly explains that they are not dangerous and are going to lead them to the North Pole. The snowmen then dance and sing around them before revealing the way to the North Pole for the gang. They are not seen again afterwards.
Santa Claus.
He only appears in Super Sleuth Christmas Movie. After losing his magic bag in a practice run, he is on the verge on canceling Christmas before Darby and the gang arrive to return his sack. Following the return of his magic sack, he then proceeds to deliver presents, in which Pooh and friends volunteer to help him. He agrees, allowing Piglet to sit in front of the sleigh and has Holly and Eeyore lead the sleigh. He also cheers up Tigger by giving him a new mask, having lost his old one earlier. After delivering all the presents, Santa then takes the gang back to the Hundred Acre Woods.

Other characters.
Pygmy Piglets.
The Pygmy Piglets only appear in "The Piglet Who Would Be King", an episode of "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh". They are about half the height of Piglet and are all clad in white clothing. They reside in the Land of Milk and Honey, which is where Piglet and his friends go to collect more honey for Pooh. They proclaim Piglet their king and a spring from a broken Jack-in-the-box, given to Piglet as a friendship present from Pooh, is thought to be the tail of a Piglet statue with a honey fountain. When the spring is removed later, the volcano of honey erupts, but Piglet, with the assistance of the Pygmies, diverts the honey flow using two statues and is hailed as a hero.
Long John Cottontail.
Long John Cottontail is Rabbit's deceased great-great uncle. He only appears in "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" episode "Rabbit Marks the Spot". Rabbit is annoyed at Pooh, Piglet, Tigger and Gopher for digging up his garden when pretending to be pirates, so he buries a treasure chest full of rocks in the ground and tells them it was the treasure of Long John Cottontail. He gives them a map showing where it is. They find it (despite Rabbit regretting his action and trying to stop them). Rabbit admits that he buried the rocks, but Pooh, Piglet, Tigger and Gopher still believe it was Long John Cottontail, and the rocks were very useful to them. The ghost of Long John Cottontail then appears and says that the animals found his buried rocks, which scares them all away. He is confused as to why they are scared of him, ending the episode.
Babysitter.
A babysitter appears in "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" episode "Babysitter Blues". Christopher Robin, Pooh, Piglet and Tigger repeatedly make a mess at night when his mother is out, and the babysitter gets upset, at one point telling him that if his mother saw the mess she'd never let her babysit again. However, at the end of the episode, Christopher Robin does not make a mess and the babysitter thinks he has been swapped with someone else.
Like Christopher Robin's mother, the Babysitter's face is not shown.
Ted, Pinky, and Vacuum Head.
Three stuff animals who look like Pooh, Piglet, and Tigger, but resemble gangsters. They only appear in "How Much is That Rabbit in the Window" where they try to steal Rabbit's tag in hopes of getting someone to buy them from the toy store. The store's owner is apparently unaware that they are alive. Eventually, they succeed in stealing the tag and rip it into three pieces in hopes of getting sold. After Christopher Robin bought Rabbit, he encourages them to continue waiting and that someone will buy them one day. They then take Rabbit's advice and continue to wait to be sold.
