History Characters / WinnieThePooh

* TheBusCameBack: Lumpy makes his first major appearance since 2007 in VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII, to the surprise of many as they figured Disney had forgotten about the character.

* OminousOwl: Subverted somewhat. Though his [[KnowNothingKnowItAll clueless]] and sometimes [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} deranged]] demeanor causes problems at times, Owl is a thoroughly high spirited and kindly individual, the other residents even frequently referring to him as "their good friend".

* TopHeavyGuy: He's all chest, with big arms but tiny legs.

* AdaptedIn: Like Kanga, he appears from the opening short of ''Many Adventures'' (adapting the first and second chapter). An attempt at adapting his introduction story (chapter seven) wouldn't be attempted until much later on.

* AdaptedIn: Kanga (and Roo) debuted from the first short of the series (which adapted the first two chapters of the first novel). As such, their introduction story (during the seventh chapter) was skipped over in ''Many Adventures'', with ''The Book Of Pooh'' and ''Piglet's Big Movie'' both making their own (continuity botched) reinterpretations of it.

** He reappeared in WinnieThePoohsHomeRunDerby as an umpire. Be thankful he's not one of [[NintendoHard the pitchers]]. He also made an appearance in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'' and appears sporadically on current merchandise.

* ShooOutTheNewGuy: Following his debut movie, Lumpy got promoted fairly heavily and appeared in a few other projects shortly after, though shortly disappeared from most ''Pooh'' animations and merchandise. However...

* OutOfFocus: Out of the regular cast, Kanga seldom gets ADayInTheLimelight in either interpretation besides her introductory story, usually playing TeamMom or TheStraightMan at best. Part of this can come down to being the one main character to lack a glaring foible or defect to drive a story.

* AgeLift: While it's hard to tell exactly how old the animals are in books or cartoons, Tigger at least is ''clearly'' a lot older in the Disney version. In the books he's more clearly a child who needs someone to look after him, and who ends up adopted by Kanga. (In ''Return to the Hundred Acre Wood'', he's unable to say how old he is, but when Rabbit guesses that he's about twelve years old he's all on board with that -- because having an age means he can have a birthday.) The Disney version, by contrast, lives on his own and speaks in a very adult baritone voice.

* AdaptationalDumbass: She drops her usual OnlySaneMan role in the 2011 film, which conveys her as just as childish and clueless as the other animals, even sharing an AdultsAreUseless moment with Owl and Rabbit where they think they've caught the Backson.

* MamaBear: Much more gentle than usual examples, but is obviously rather protective of her son.

* VocalEvolution: Most voice actors for Pooh keep a consistent take on the character, though Sterling Holloway gave him a Southern twang that stayed exclusive to his rendition.

* OneOfTheKids: They're Christopher's playthings; naturally, they act more like kids than he does.

* VocalEvolution: Listen to Paul Winchell as Tigger in the ''Many Adventures'' shorts, then compare it to ''New Adventures''. They hardly even sound like the same person, as Winchell's voice had gotten raspier, and his lisp is stronger too. This evolution is why Jim Cummings took over the role permanently from ''The Tigger Movie'' onwards, who himself has gotten much more gruff and hyperactive sounding since he started filling in for Winchell in ''New Adventures''.

* VocalEvolution: Ken Sansom's voice for Rabbit was much more gruff and less effeminate sounding when he started in ''New Adventures''.

* OutOfFocus: Out of the regular cast, Kanga seldom gets ADayInTheLimelight in either interpretation besides her introductory story, usually playing TeamMom or TheStraightMan at best.

* AscendedExtra: He didn't appear in the first book at all, and though he gets to play a prominent role in four of the ten chapters in the second book, it was the Disney version that really made him the major character he's known as today.

** In the original books, notably his debut in ''The House at Pooh Corner'', he doesn't like haycorns or thistles either.

** The live-action movie has this in full-force. As an adult, he's distressed by the fact 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.
