Winnie-the-Pooh[edit]

Main article: Winnie-the-Pooh

Winnie-the-Pooh, or Pooh for short, is an anthropomorphic, soft-voiced, cuddly, loveable and quiet toy 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.

Winnie the Pooh is introduced to readers as a loveable bear but has mental health issues. Pooh's love for honey lead to a result in the diagnosis of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) due to his repetitive eating habits and actions.

In the Disney adaptations, 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[edit]

Main article: 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 best friend, Darby, a 6-year-old girl who hosts My Friends Tigger & Pooh, but he only appeared in the show twice.

-- Christopher Robin's is hard to determine. Because he is the only human character in this series, you would think his mental health diagnosis would be clear. Christopher Robins diagnosis is unclear because he shows early signs of multiple illness but too early to fully diagnose according to the DSM-IV.

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).

Piglet[edit]

Main article: Piglet (Winnie-the-Pooh)

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".

Piglet's classification in the mental illness world is Generalized Anxiety Disorder. This is his classification due to the fact that Piglet always needs to have Pooh around. Everything that Pooh does, piglet always makes sure he is included in the plans. He never wants to lose Pooh as a best friend and always has a flustered appearance.

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[edit]

Main article: Eeyore

Pooh's ever-glum, sarcastic and pessimistic 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 (1988–2010, 2017–present), Bud Luckey (2011–2014), and in the Christopher Robin film, he was voiced by Brad Garrett.

Eeyore's signature "Thanks for noticing" quote isn't something to think lightly about. He is constantly down throughout the whole Winnie the Pooh series and always chooses to be secluded from the group or from any gatherings his animal friends have. He clearly shows his lack of interest in pleasurable activities and lack of energy in his daily life. DSM-IV would confirm Eeyore's mental health condition as Major Depressive Disorder. This disease explains all of his melancholy actions.
