Eeyore of course.
Shame you put Gopher in the poll. A needless Walt disney addition. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

Yes I'm a Winnie purist too but maybe Gopher might appeal to our American friends. That's what they put him in for anyway. Gopher's quite funny when he says "I'm not in the book and I'm a ding dang glad of it". That makes my daughter laugh when I say it. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/BobGreece/?chartstyle=basicrt10">

Eeyore has an extremely well balanced view of the world. I'm thinking here of the version drawn by the brilliant E.H. Shepperd, whose illustrations brough the book to life - the Disney animations, professional as they are, do his work no justice. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...'

My kids loved Pooh movies and books when they were little so I had a lot of exposure to them. Definitely Tigger. -------------  |

Don't often agree with you Syz, but on this occasion I certainly do. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

I don't think his views are balanced - he just sees the bad side of everything. You could say that he's realistic but that doesn't do him any good as he hardly ever has any fun. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/BobGreece/?chartstyle=basicrt10">

Chris is the character with which I can relate the most because we are both humans.

Definitely The Pooh. That bear's got the right attitude. Tigger's quite entertaining too.  Piglet just needs a little more self-confidence. Eeyore? Well I'm in a band with him, and he can be a real drag sometimes.  ------------- Pure Brilliance:

I have a question: Is the Pooh male or female?
I voted Tigger -------------

Why Snowy, haven't you been listening to our friend Pooh? "Weeds are flowers too Piglet, once you get to to know them."

I tried it again and it's not funny any more. So either I've lost my touch, the joke has worn thin or she has developed a more sophisticated sense of humour. Yesterday, she was laughing at me kicking a ball around the kitchen so it can't be the latter. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/BobGreece/?chartstyle=basicrt10">

The fact that I'm the first person to vote for Rabbit is a damning indictment of the power of Disney ... Milne's original Rabbit was way cool ... Disney's was a prissy precursor to C3P0 ------------- "Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love! Death to hope?" thunders the 20th century.

I think Rabbit was a bit boring in the original book. I like Winnie more in the Disney versions - his facial expressions are very funny. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/BobGreece/?chartstyle=basicrt10">
