Wikimedia list article
This is a list of characters appearing in the "Winnie-the-Pooh" books and other adaptations, including Disney's adaptations of the series.
Characters from the original books
Winnie-the-Pooh
Winnie-the-Pooh, Pooh Bear or Pooh for short (voiced by Sterling Holloway in 1966–1977, Hal Smith in 1979–1989 and Jim Cummings in 1988–present), is an anthropomorphic, soft-voiced teddy bear. 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, Winnie the 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". Cummings reprised his role for the Christopher Robin film.
Piglet
Piglet (voiced by John Fiedler in 1968–2005, Robie Lester in Disneyland Records, Phil Baron in 1983–1986, Travis Oates in 2005–present, and Nick Mohamed in Christopher Robin) is a domestic pig and Pooh's best friend besides Christopher Robin. In the books, he often takes his lead from Pooh unless overcome by fear which occurs more often than not.

Why this record matters

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1153462. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1966, 1977, 1979 and 1989.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
