Winnie the Pooh (or Pooh for short) (originally voiced by Sterling Holloway, Hal Smith, and currently by Jim Cummings) is an anthropomorphic, honey-loving teddy bear belonging to Christopher Robin that first appeared in Disney's 1966 short Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree.

Pooh is based on the character of the same name from the book of the same name, written by A.A. Milne.

He is the protagonist of the Pooh's Adventures series (both main protagonist and overarching protagonist).

He lives under the name Sanders (that's because the name Mr. Sanders is written in his front door) in a house in the Hundred Acre Wood and is not (as he himself admits) very intelligent and ends up being the running gag at life, but does have good ideas sometimes, and is all in all a very loyal friend. Unfortunately, he has a great difficulty to explain them to the other characters. He has an insatiable appetite for honey. He sometimes likes to dress up as a Western hero known as "The Masked Bear" and Eeyore plays his "Faithful Steed". The relatives he meets in the adventures are Baloo and Yogi Bear.

Appearance

Winnie the Pooh is an anthropomorphic yellow teddy bear. He is short, and a little round belly. He has black dot eyes, a black nose, a short snout, and small round ears. There is also stitching on his belly and bottom, which occasionally rips open. He only wears a small red short-sleeved shirt, in which his belly hangs out of.

Personality

Pooh is described as being "a bear of very little brain." He is very kind and friendly towards everyone and has a demeanor that is childlike and innocent. Because of his limited intelligence, however, Pooh is extremely naive. Absent-minded and simple, he tends to process things at a slower pace than his friends, to the point of seeming disoriented. Pooh's sluggish nature also makes him somewhat passive in most situations.

Pooh is arguably best known for his love of honey (or "hunny" as he spells it). He keeps a supply of pots at his home, but they are often empty due to his unending appetite. When he runs out, he often travels to Rabbit's house to borrow some. Loyal to his friends and the "favored" toy of Christopher Robin, Pooh is often entitled to "leader of the group". He has a knack for being very optimistic during times of despair. He can be very courageous in tough times and is usually the one consulted when trouble occurs.

In spite of being "a bear of very little brain", Pooh occasionally seems to hold some wisdom, such as in Pooh's Heffalump Movie, in which he's the first one to realize that the "monster" all feared was a mother looking for her baby, and though most of Christopher Robin, such as when Christopher states that he doesn't need a balloon, Pooh states that, though he's aware he doesn't need it, it would make him happy, and when he constantly asks if Christopher's work is as important as the latter claims to be. As his best friend states in Christopher Robin, his wisdom is because Pooh is "a bear of very big heart".
