Eeyore is first seen being more gloomy than usual at his home. Pooh pays a visit in a search for honey but instead finds out that Eeyore has lost his tail again. Pooh and Eeyore are then greeted by Owl who flies over to Christopher Robin for a solution to the problem.
Christopher sets up a contest for the recovery of the tail or a substitute, with honey as the reward. Pooh uses a cuckoo clock, but as Eeyore took a seat, it was destroyed. Piglet used a balloon but it floated Eeyore into the air. Next, Kanga knitted a replacement tail, but it unraveled. After a while, Eeyore went over to Owl's house where Owl provided a chalkboard as a tail and incorrectly labeled it "Tael".
Just then, Pooh arrived and asked Owl to decipher a note he found on Christopher Robin's door. Owl reads the note as if it were a distress note, informing the friends that Christopher has been captured by a creature called the Backson. A search for Christopher begins but Eeyore is left behind because he couldn't keep up. He runs into to Tigger who proclaims Eeyore "Tigger Two", feeling remorse for his lonely friend.
After some comical Tigger training, Eeyore decides to leave the scene and hides in a pond until Tigger leaves. At the bottom of the pond, Eeyore finds an anchor for a tail and heads over to Rabbit, Kanga, Roo, Owl, and Piglet as they try to get Pooh out of a pit trap meant for the Backson.
Rabbit decides to use the chain of Eeyore's anchor to get Pooh out, but the anchor pulls Eeyore into the pit with Pooh and drags everyone else along too. Eventually, Tigger and Piglet are trapped as well and Eeyore no feels that he and his friends will soon perish stating "We're all gonna die. The gang is freed and Christopher Robin appears explaining that he was only at school. That evening, Pooh finds Eeyore's real tail at Owl's house, being used as a bell ringer.
Pooh returns it and Christopher places it back on. As a reward for choosing to return Eeyore's tail before getting a honeypot, Pooh is rewarded a massive jar of honey. In the live-action film, Eeyore, Pooh and the other animals of the Hundred Acre Wood join Christopher Robin in saying goodbye to him when he prepares to leave for boarding school. Years later, when Pooh's friends all go missing, he asks Christopher Robin to help him find them. After getting separated from Pooh, Eeyore is the first of the group he manages to locate, with Eeyore having fallen into the stream.
Though Eeyore is rescued, he doesn't recognize the adult Christopher Robin and believes him to be a heffalump. To regain their trust, Christopher Robin takes Eeyore and runs behind a stand of trees and pretends to vanquish a heffalump.
Eeyore then quickly and happily realizes that he is with Christopher Robin and helps further the illusion by making heffalump sounds. As a result of their trick, Christopher Robin regains the trust of the animals of the Hundred Acre Wood.
He also helps in finding Winnie the Pooh afterward. When Christopher Robin leaves and Tigger inadvertently removes Christopher's important paperwork, Eeyore accompanies Pooh, Piglet, and Tigger to return them.
In doing so, they end up meeting Christopher Robin's daughter, Madeline Robin and rush with her to London to help return her father's paperwork to him at his job at Winslow Luggages and to dissuade him from sending her to boarding school. During this time, they also teach Madeline what it means to have fun. During the journey, they manage to stow away in the back of one of the company's supplies trucks. However, he, Tigger and Piglet are separated from Madeline and inadvertently are reunited with Christopher Robin, where they meet his astonished wife, Evelyn as well.
Upon reuniting with Madeline, Eeyore, Pooh, Piglet, and Tigger are present with Christopher's family to hear him speak about his plan involving reducing the prices of luggage, giving employees paid leave, and selling their luggage to everyday people to increase demand so that Winslow's employees can keep their jobs. When Giles Winslow Jr. When Christopher Robin brings his family to the Hundred Acre Wood to meet the rest of the other animals, Eeyore celebrates and picnics with them.
Brad Garrett returns to voice Eeyore, whose design resembles both E. Shepard's illustrations removing the pink bow on his tail and the Disney iteration with his bulbous snout. Eeyore as he appears in Welcome to Pooh Corner. In this series, Eeyore is portrayed by two live actors in a puppet suit. He is sometimes seen carrying Roo on his back.
Eeyore is also shown to have a love for dancing. Eeyore appears as a main character in the series and has several episodes regarding him. In " Donkey for a Day ", everyone mistakenly thinks Eeyore is depressed when they see him sitting alone on a cliff. They try to cheer him up through various activities. Later, Piglet goes to talk to him, and Eeyore says that he wasn't sad at all. Instead, he comes to the cliff when he is happy, and he shows Piglet a game he plays with the clouds.
In " The "New" Eeyore ", Eeyore decides that he would like to become more popular. Seeking advice, he speaks with Tigger, who advises him to smile and say hello. Later on, Eeyore misinterprets Tigger's final piece of advice Tigger mentioned that people liked him because he acted like himself and decides to begin acting and looking like Tigger. Eeyore is later corrected by his friends and decides to be himself, though he retains the lessons of smiling more and saying hello to others.
He later regrets this and decides to regain it, but not before the trail makes its way to each of his friends, who each use it for a different purpose. Meanwhile, when each friend loses the tail, Tigger decides to solve the crimes.
When the tail is finally found, Eeyore is able to reclaim his tail from his friends, who had been unaware of its true purpose. A running gag through the show is that Eeyore's house which is made of sticks is knocked over for various times and reasons. Eeyore was portrayed by a puppet in the series and was the focus of various episodes, such as " My Gloomy Valentine ", where Valentin's Day has arrived and everyone's received a valentine except for Eeyore, much to his disappointment.
Another notable episode is " The Case of the Disappeared Donkey ", where Eeyore goes missing, prompting Tigger to embark on a search for him. As Benjamin Hoff has argued in his marvellous book The Tao of Pooh, Eeyore can't enjoy life because his mind is clouded with thoughts that cut him off from the world around him — which, in the case of Hundred Acre Wood, is a beautiful one.
He can't live the simple, spontaneous and joyful life of Pooh — a Bear of Very Little Brain, maybe, but the happiest character in the wood because of it. So the riddle of Eeyore is this: why, despite his many failings, do we love him so much? I think it's partly because, as well as being the most depressing individual in the Pooh books, he is also the funniest. Melancholy often teeters on the brink of absurdity, and Eeyore regularly falls over the edge.
Take the classic scene in The House at Pooh Corner when Eeyore tumbles into the stream after the irrepressible Tigger bounces up behind him and takes him by surprise. The image of Eeyore, floating around in circles with his feet in the air, trying to maintain his sombre demeanour, is desperately funny and sad. And then there's his truly glorious sarcasm of which there are too many instances to catalogue here , whose hilarity is heightened further by the way that it sails straight over the other characters' heads.
But the key thing that makes Eeyore a great character is that essential literary ingredient: conflict. Eeyore is profoundly conflicted. He craves love — indeed, he's always lamenting his outsider status — but he struggles to give and receive it. When it's offered to him, he puts out his hoof and waves it away. There are many occasions when Pooh and Piglet, who love Eeyore unconditionally, pay him a visit only to be greeted with a barrage of sarcasm.
Nowhere is this more poignantly displayed than the scene in The House at Pooh Corner where Piglet realises that Eeyore has never had a bunch of violets picked for him. When he finds Eeyore to deliver the bunch, however, he gets shooed away.
In one episode of New Adventures , Rabbit decides to pretend his house is for sale by putting up a bunch of "4 sale" signs around the premises after Pooh has once again eaten him out of house and home. When asked by Eeyore why he's moving, Rabbit divulges his scheme to him. Not long after, Pooh unexpectedly shows up and asks Eeyore what's going on. Rather than playing dumb and Pooh and Rabbit sort it out, Eeyore tells him Rabbit is moving away because of a particular "friend" who keeps taking his honey.
Thankfully, Pooh is too thick to realize he is the "friend" in question, but, seriously, Eeyore? Some "friend" you are. During another episode of New Adventures , Tigger tries to get Eeyore to be more sociable with their friends and invites him into Rabbit's house where a party is taking place. Inexplicably, Eeyore enters the house and simply keeps saying "hello" over and over. Now, not all of us are natural party-goers.
It's perfectly okay to be an introvert, but there is literally not a single being at this particular party that Eeyore has not spent a considerable amount of time around. C'mon Eeyore. Can't you put forth just a little more effort? In that same episode of New Adventures , Eeyore takes notice of the fact that Tigger is perhaps the most sociable of all the stuffed animals in the Hundred Acre Wood. Tigger declares this is because he is so popular.
Eeyore then decides to paint himself to look like Tigger how he manages without the help of another party is mindblowing in and of itself. Eeyore then goes on to wreak all the same emotional terrorism that Tigger is so fond of upon his friends, most notably upon Rabbit. Eeyore wrecks Rabbit's house with most everyone else in it and simply slides out saying Tigger's inimitable catchphrase, "TTFN!
When you've out-Tiggered Tigger, you've outdone yourself. In another episode of New Adventures , each one of Christopher Robin's friends takes it upon themselves to make an effort to cheer up Eeyore. Pooh decides that his contribution will be eating with Eeyore, proceeding to stuff him full of honey. Now, in fairness to Eeyore, Pooh gives him a ginormous jar that perhaps with which only Pooh would be content. But, hey, Eeyore? How often does Pooh actually have his own honey in his house?
Couldn't you at least feign gratitude to Pooh for not making you try to mooch more honey off of Rabbit?
