It really shouldn’t be a surprise that the
Hundred Acre Woods is one of the nicest places in the worlds of fiction. Even in games like Kingdom Hearts, you can
just hang out there and play games with Winnie The Pooh and friends without having to worry
about fighting any of the forces of evil. Indeed, there really isn’t that much that
can go wrong here. However, that doesn’t mean that things go
perfectly all the time. Some residents do cause trouble, be it on
accident, or on purpose. But which of these are the most troublesome,
and which are the peacekeepers? Hello, I’m Brad with WickedBinge. And today, we’re counting down all the Hundred
Acre Woods characters, to see who’s the most genuinely good of them all. Not to be a bother, but there will be some
spoilers ahead. As for which parts of the franchise we’ll
be looking at, we’ll be looking at the animated movies and the New Adventures Of Winnie The
Pooh. Now, this time, we’re going to flip things
around and start with the bad characters and work our way up… And yes, despite the innocence of Winnie The
Pooh, There are some evil folks lurking in these woods, believe it or not. However, due to how few of them there are,
it’s best to just get them out of the way… These are The Bad and The Evil. For the worst of the worst, we have Crud. Now, given the relatively chilled nature of
the New Adventures show, it’s easy to forgive people who think there aren’t really any
active antagonists here, let alone one bent on world domination. However, in the episode “Cleanliness Is
Next To Impossible”, that is just what Crud is. From a world created out of all the stuff
Christopher Robin and his friends pushed under his bed to clean his room up, Crud was formed
by the lack of proper cleaning etiquette under the bed. Taking Christopher and his friends as hostages,
he plans to reverse the vacuum to blow dirt all over the world and make it messy. Now, it should be obvious as to why this is
a bad idea, as living in a world filled with garbage sounds just like the world of WALL-E.
However, Crud still wants that because he loves his trash. He even hates the idea of being cleaned up
so much that the words cleaned and washed up drive him mad. Now, sure, there are way worse things that
villains could do and have done in other shows, but considering that this is the world of
Winnie The Pooh, the bar is set pretty low for what an evil act could be. In the end of the day, a slime monster that
wants to destroy the world by spreading his filth and forcing a kid to help him is the
worst here. We’re sure a couple of kids that watched
him were probably scared into cleaning though. For the second worst, we have a duo; Heff
Heffalump and Stan Woozle. Now, in the movies and even the books, they
were just imaginary monsters that would steal Pooh’s honey. However, in the New Adventures Of Winnie The
Pooh, they are very much real, and just as threatening...or at least, as threatening
as one can be in the world of Winnie the Pooh. Heff and Stan only have one goal; stealing
Pooh’s honey. Being first introduced to them in “The Great
Honey Pot Robbery”, they became recurring series antagonists, with their plans all revolving
around stealing honey. Their goals were accomplished with either
just sneaking around at night to steal honey, bringing in a giant to help them smash the
competition, or even holding Rabbit’s adopted bird daughter, Kessie, hostage. Granted, they really aren’t that powerful,
their goal isn’t world domination and they always fail, but given their consistency with
antagonising the main cast, it definitely puts them on the lower end of the good to
evil spectrum. They’re quick, they’re slick, they’re
insincere; beware these two. And with that said, the worst is over... And now we have those that are either reformed
villains, or just don’t know any better. This is The Grey Area! Third up is the horse thief, Nasty Jack. As a bandit horse and as the leader of the
Horse Thieves, he’a a literal horse thief, as in a horse who steals things. As the villain in the episode “Paw And Order”,
he is the leader of the Horse Thieves, terrorizing the town of Rickety Gulch. Alongside his thievery, he also trounces any
sheriffs that try to attack him. Not bounce, trounce; as in out the sheriff
in a bag and drop them. He’s a villain and proud of it, more than
happy to hold Rabbit hostage and force him to make banana splits for him, and make fun
of Tigger for failing to rescue his friends. He may not be the cruelest villain in the
Hundred Acre Woods, but he is one of the craftiest, too crafty for the script to even handle sometimes. So, just what makes this bandit better than
the other two villains. Well, besides the fact that the bar is low
for the series, the tale ends for him on a high note. After realizing Piglet isn’t wearing the
sheriff badge anymore, and thus can’t be trounced, Piglet decides to make him sheriff,
something that he always wanted, but never had a chance to be. With his new job, he’s more than willing
to turn on his own gang and now spends his days cleaning up Rickety Gulch. He may have been a crook before, but he is
willing to clean up his act along with the town, putting him above some of the truly
villainous folks. For our next entry, we have the group of the
Pack Rats. These rodents of small size live within the
Hundred Acre Woods, usually stealing and taking whatever they want, like Pooh’s sweet tooth
and various items from Gopher. This ends up leading to everyone trying to
chase after them to get their items back after them. Even after they were caught, they would only
give Pooh back his tooth after Pooh guessed where it was. They are pretty stubborn, and pretty happy
with trying to keep their gains through any means they can. However, they really don’t call themselves
thieves, and in fact seem shocked at the idea. To them, they are just trading walnuts for
items, no matter the item they take, a trait which actually exists in real life pack rats. Thanks to Pooh explaining to them about how
friendship works, they end up helping everyone save their items by hiding them in Owl’s
closet in “The Rats That Came To Dinner”. That said, they definitely could have at least
told Pooh and his friends what they were doing and not cause fear and concern about where
their items were. Even in their last appearance, “Oh, Bottle”,
they were willing to help Pooh out and give him back the paper. They gave him a brand new bottle for the paper
from their own bottle collection, after spending the entire segment trying to steal it. They have quite a way to go, but they do genuinely
try. To quote Pooh, they’re just confused. Next up we have the former henchmen of Stan
and Heff, Wooster. In “The Great Honey Pot Mystery”, he was
the big guns that Stan and Heff brought in to help them steal honey from Pooh. At the start, he is more than happy to help
the two out, more than willing to smash signs that tried to tell him to go another way. To be fair, he really couldn’t even read
the sign in the first place. His ginormous size also means that pushing
away or destroying trees isn’t out of the question. When he got to Pooh’s brunchfast, the three
were more than ready to try and intimate Pooh and his friends into giving up their honey. However, Pooh had another idea; tell him about
friendship, how sharing is nice and that he is willing to befriend him, as long as he
asks to have some honey first. And just like that, Wooster complies, asking
and even saying please, disgusting Stan and Heff into leaving. After that, he became just as friendly as
any other resident in the Hundred Acre Woods. Sure, he may have been willing to use brute
force, but he didn’t hurt anyone, and was even shown to be reasonable. He may be a big guy, but he has an equally
big heart. After that, we have the performing gorilla
toy, Bruno. First introduced to us in “Monkey See, Monkey
Do Better”, he introduces himself as the best toy a kid could have, and boasts that
he is better than the rest of the cast. Challenging them to a bet where the loser
would leave, he ends up completely sweeping the competition, more than proud of himself. He is able to get honey from trees easier
than Pooh did, he can jump higher than Tigger, and is a better gardener than Rabbit is, making
himself the winner. Despite kicking them out of their homes, he
doesn’t do it by force, and did it by a fair and square competition. That said, he is still a big jerk about it
and is more than happy to belittle and mock them. Of course, Christopher Robin had no plans
of replacing them, and instead just wanted to give Bruno to a friend he had as a birthday
gift, depressing Bruno into hiding into the forest and taking out his key, essentially
condemning himself to death as he winds down. Yes, this is still Winnie The Pooh we are
talking about. Thankfully, he does end up getting better
and is able to properly make amends with the others, and let himself get wrapped back up
and sent to his rightful owner. Sure, he may have had the ego, but he certainly
wasn’t trying to cause any actual damage or hurt the cast like the other villains here. Just goes to show you that with ranking Winnie
The Pooh characters on their morality, hairs are definitely going to get split. Now we finally move onto the good guys of
these woods. From here on out, we’re not just splitting
hairs; we’re splitting the atoms on these hairs... After all, there are a lot of great, moral
characters in this series… But we’ll do our best to determine who is
the most good… The first recurring good guy of this list
is the animated exclusive Gopher. He wasn’t in the books, and he’ll let
you know. Most of his time he spends down inside his
holes, just happily burrowing away, working inside his mines. While he isn’t silent by any means, and
is more than happy to say his piece, He’s a miner who is happy just creating tunnels
and holes within the Hundred Acre woods. While normally friendly, he is perhaps the
least friendly of the bunch, often annoying Rabbit with his plans as he mines underneath
his garden. He is also more than willing to use explosive
force when needed, such as when Pooh was stuck in Rabbit’s hole. Despite doing this, he is still pretty friendly
in his own way. He was willing to let Pooh eat some of his
honey as he was stuck in the hole, and of course was still doing his best to get Pooh
out. What really puts him this low is all the holes
he keeps forming around the woods. Many of the residents, himself included, are
prone to falling into them, often injuring themselves. While nothing serious came out of these holes,
we can’t imagine that having so many open holes is safe. Overall, while definitely not looking to cause
trouble, he often does just that, albeit on accident. Our next slot belongs to the Backson. First introduced in the 2011 “Winnie The
Pooh” movie, thanks to Owl misreading a note that Christopher Robin left for Pooh
and his friends, Owl thought that the words “Back soon” were actually saying “Backson”. Using his ever so easily fallible logic, he
thinks that this beast actually kidnapped him. When asked about what Backsons do, all Owl
could really do is just say stuff like that they destroy books, Christmas hooks, and socks,
before letting the other residents run wild with just what they believe he is capable
of, including chipping teeth and making people old. If this all sounds far fetched, well, like
with Owl’s other tall tales, it is. At the end of the film after the credits,
we find out that the Backson is indeed real, but is also way nicer than the others thought. He just likes going around in the woods picking
up items that he thinks look interesting. When he sees a picture of himself drawn on
a chalkboard, he thinks these items might belong to that fellow, unaware that it’s
him. Indeed, in comparison to the song, he’s
actually a pretty nice and friendly fellow. Really, the only reason he isn’t any higher
is because we don’t get a real chance to truly meet him. Maybe one day. Following up from one being who was thought
of to be bad to another, we have Lumpy. While the New Adventures Of Winnie And Pooh
had the villainous Stan Woozle and Heff Heffalump, here, Lumpy the Heffalump is nowhere near
as mean as those two. Full name Heffridge Trumpler Brompet Heffalump
IV, he is just a child elephant who only wanted to have fun and play in the forest. Becoming fast friends with Roo, he ends up
revealing that he is actually just as scared of the other residents of the Hundred Acre
Woods as they are of him. With Roo’s help, he was able to finally
meet up with the others. Despite the rocky first meeting, Roo was able
to convince his friends to befriend the Heffalump, with Lumpy even helping Roo out from being
stuck by calling his mother over after failing to do so with his trunk earlier. He even stayed as Roo’s best friend in the
Halloween movie, helping him set up traps to get the gobloon and get a wish. He may be a Heffalump, but he is definitely
a good elephant. He may not have that many appearances, but
when he did appear, he was certainly a lovable friend. Really, the only reason he isn’t any higher
is due to just how little he appeared in the actual series. At the number 10 spot, we have the windbag
of an owl, called Owl. At first glance, Owl is just a wise old owl,
more than happy to help spin some tales about his family and give advice to Pooh and friends. He truly does mean well, and uses his intelligence
to help encourage his friends. However, underneath all his good intentions,
he definitely did end up causing a couple of mishaps with his false pride. Namely, thanks to his lack of reading skills,
he ended up accidentally causing more trouble than he planned, like in “Pooh’s Grand
Adventure” with him misreading “school” for “skull”, a dangerous place where he
thinks Christopher Robin was kidnapped to, and “back soon” as the “Backson”,
a fearsome beast that he believed had stolen Christopher Robin in the 2011 Winnie The Pooh
Movie. Now, to be fair, Christopher Robin is still
a kid, and his spelling isn't great, so he does have a bit of an excuse there. What he doesn’t have an excuse for is his
pride and ego, being obsessed with being right. While he can be a helpful figure, like teaching
Kessie to fly, being overly confident can definitely lead his friends into trouble,
despite not meaning to. Some reading and spelling lessons would definitely
help him and Robin out. Up next, we have the very unlucky donkey,
Eeyore. Now, looking at Eeyore, it’s definitely
hard to not pity him. He’s the least energetic member of the main
cast, more than happy and being ok with just being by himself. The rest of the cast however is more than
ok with him, even letting him in on their games and antics whenever he feels like it. In fact, his reason for sitting outside so
often is just that he is doing something called “cloud painting”, imagining the clouds
with different colors. He does indeed try to get involved and make
his friends happy, maybe even a bit too much at times. His calm and collected personality is what
actually helps him keep under control when placed in challenging and dire situations. That isn’t to say he isn’t willing to
change himself. “The New Eeyore”, he tries to change himself
to become more like Tigger, acting just as friendly and energetic as him, albeit with
accidentally scaring his friends with his new personality. While he often is one of the last of the friends
to join in on any activities, his heart is definitely still in the right place. Our next character on this list goes to Rabbit’s
adopted bird daughter, Kessie. First meeting her in “Find Her, Keep Her”,
she was found in a snowstorm by Rabbit before he took her in and decided to adopt her. Now, in the episode, she’s just a little
kid, who looks up to Rabbit as a father figure, calling him “Rabbie”, and obeying him
when it comes to not flying too high. She definitely admires and treasures him,
giving him her first carrot that she farmed, and even rescuing him after he is launched
from a slingshot. Despite eventually leaving the nest, she would
always admire him. Of course, she did end up growing up eventually,
becoming much more grown up and independent of Rabbit. As an actual adult in “A Bird In The Hand”,
she ends up trying to show off to Rabbit that she can be on her own, only to accidentally
become a hostage to Stan and Heff. They attempt to ransom her for some honey,
and when Rabbit and his friends try to save her, they fail and are also held ransom. However, thanks to Kessie, she was able to
trick them and helped her friends escape. She may have grown up and become independent,
but she’ll always have a spot in Rabbit’s heart, and as a true friend. Next up, we have the youngest member of the
Hundred Acre Woods animals, Roo. As the youngest animal of the bunch, he’s
often filled with energy and is just happy playing around with his friends.In the Many
Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh, he’s still growing and couldn’t even speak properly,
spending most of his time in his mother’s pouch. As time went on, he was able to grow up a
bit and start joining in on adventures with Pooh and his friends. However, none of these friends are as impactful
to him as Tigger is. In his eyes, Tigger is his hero who can do
no wrong. He loves him and treats him like an older
brother, often learning from him and imitating his actions, including bouncing onto others. He also does his best to try and help Tigger
whenever it’s needed, such as trying to help him calm down when he is stuck in a tree,
or when helping Tigger search for his family tree in “The Tigger Movie”. He even managed to gain a little brother figure
himself in the form of Lumpy, in his kindest deed yet, being the first Hundred Acre Wood
resident to befriend a Heffalump, and open the door to becoming allied with more friendly
Heffalumps. Definitely not bad for a kid at all. He may still be growing, but he’s definitely
already a good way there. Up next, we have the only one of his kind,
Tigger. Pronounced T-I-double guh-ER, Tigger is one
of the most rambunctious folks the Hundred Acre Woods has to show us. Greeting people by literally bouncing into
them, Tigger is more than happy to show just how proud and happy he is, often boasting
about how he is the only Tigger in existence. This often leads to him being reckless or
thoughtless, never really thinking ahead. Despite this, he is still extremely friendly
and happy, rejoicing with his friends whenever he finds something good, or just trying to
be friendly with them. While he does make mistakes, none of them
really come from any malice intentions, and are just him just being too willing to help,
such as becoming “The Masked Offender” and the detective “Private Ear”. However, while he was definitely a good guy
before, he became much better after The Tigger Movie. After realizing that his friends are his family,
Tigger ends up saving them from an avalanche, putting his friends on the top of a tree,
even risking his own life for them. Afterwards, you can see him become more considerate
to the cast, even trying to be a good role model for Roo. He may still be the most energetic member
of the cast, but that just makes Tigger unique. He’s the only one after all. From the hyperactive to the down to Earth,
Rabbit is next. Unlike Tigger, Rabbit is all for control,
trying to just keep a sense of unity and order to his garden. In terms of intelligence, he is on the same
level as Owl, with them both being smart, but also prone to believing in themselves
a bit too much over others. Among the other members of the show, it can
be argued that he is the deepest character. Despite being good, he is still very temperamental
and prone to snapping. To be fair, these times of snapping occur
thanks to just how often he is at the mercy of the other cast, often suffering thanks
to their actions, even if they didn’t mean it. He definitely does have a heart, such as when
looking over Kessie while growing up and growing fond of her, seeing her as his baby even after
she is all grown up. Despite being more of a chew toy to the crew
then an actual friend at times, he is often the person that everyone goes to whenever
they need help or a leader, such as when Tigger was out searching for his family tree in a
blizzard, or when they believe that Christopher Robin is kidnapped. He is an extremely loyal ally to his friends,
more than happy to risk his life to save them. He may not be respected at times, but there
is no doubt that he is just as determined to be a good friend as anyone else. Just right outside the top 3, it’s Kanga. As the mother of Roo, she often acts like
the true voice of reason to the group. She is not only tender towards her son, but
also towards the other members of the main cast. She has also become the surrogate mother to
Tigger, essentially treating him like one of her own sons, such as trying to give him
a bath with Roo. She’s usually the one who is there for the
cast whenever they come back from their adventures, usually being more down to Earth than the
others. That isn’t to say she doesn’t play along
with them from time to time, joining with them when trying to hunt for the Backson. She has also been seen to have a playful nature,
faking her belief that Piglet was Roo and pranking him in “Piglet’s Big Movie”. That said, it was just to show him that she
can be nice, and when she realized she may have been a bit too harsh with her prank,
she was more than willing to apologize to him and properly befriend him. She was also the first resident besides her
son to befriend Lumpy the Heffalump, realizing that he truly didn’t mean any harm, even
seeing them play and letting them continue before everyone else came into the picture. Overall, she is definitely a shining example
of a mother figure in animation; a true testament to how sweet these characters are. On the final three, our bronze trophy of goodness
goes to the ever lovable and ever so easily scared Piglet. As Pooh’s best friend, he is often by his
side during their adventures, even if he would rather not join his more scary adventures. Despite his cowardly nature at times, he never
lets it get in the way of helping his friends. He was more than willing to join Pooh and
his friends in trying to find and rescue Christopher Robin in the 2011 Winnie the Pooh movie as
well as Pooh’s Grand Adventure. He is also very polite, never really wanting
to offend anyone. He was even willing to be nice to Nasty Jack,
letting him be the sheriff just because he never had a chance to be one. To truly understand just how much of a role
he has in the Hundred Acre Woods, look no further than “Piglet’s Big Movie”. Piglet has been vital in not only helping
luring a hive of bees out of a hive, but also for helping to get Kanga and Roo get acquainted
to the Hundred Acre Woods, saving Roo, building Eeyore a new house, and even saving Pooh from
falling down a waterfall. Despite his small size, it’s easy to see
that he has a big heart. Our silver medal of purity goes to the silly
old bear, Winnie The Pooh. Here is a character so iconic that you already
know everything you need to know about him. He’s the main character of the series, and
with his friendly happy go lucky nature, he is considered to be one of the most innocent
characters not just in this series, but in all of Disney, and it’s very easy to see
why. Pooh is a very simple minded bear with a love
for two things; honey, and his friends. He is just as friendly and helpful to his
friends as he is hungry for honey. However, thanks to how laid back and passive
he is, he tends to be on the slower side when it comes to thinking during situations. That isn’t to say he doesn’t try. He’s always willing to give people a fair
sporting chance, such as taking the Pack Rats in when he believed no one else would, and
even share his honey with Stan, Heff and Wooster, even winning Wooster over to become a good
guy with friendship. He’s so sweet, that in “Un-Valentine’s
Day”, the residents actually decided to cancel Valentine’s Day just because of all
the Valentine’s Day gifts Pooh gave them and didn’t leave them with much space. Really, the only problem he does have is that
he sometimes eats Rabbit’s honey although he already ate his own. Even then he is still shown to be reasonable,
realizing that Rabbit didn’t like it in “Friend, In Deed”, fearing he may move
away and try to repay Rabbit all the honey he ate. He’s as much of a silly old bear as he is
lovable. For our champion of goodness in the Hundred
Acre Woods, we have the kid that started it all, Christopher Robin. As the owner of Pooh and all his friends,
he’s basically the main reason that this entire series happened. In return, the cast views him in the highest
regard. He’s their champion whenever they need someone
to help lead them or to help solve their problems. While Rabbit and Owl view themselves as the
smartest of the cast, really, it’s Christopher Robin who is the most grounded and smartest
member of the group. He is more than capable of explaining what
happened and seeing through the absurdity of their actions, such as explaining where
he was in “Pooh’s Grand Adventure” and the 2011 movie. He is also able identify the noise of the
monster in the former movie, or rather; what the noise was, the rumbling of Pooh’s tummy. While he isn’t with the cast most of the
time, the reason is that he is in school, and thus couldn’t be around them all the
time. Sure, he does end up sometimes causing trouble
for his mother and babysitter thanks to his imagination filled adventures, but that is
just all part of growing up, a fact he is all aware of, and tries to get Pooh and friends
ready for. Now, as he did grow up and lost some childlike
innocence in the movie “Christopher Robin”, like we said at the beginning, we aren’t
counting that. We’re only sticking to the animated films
and the show. And in these forms of media, Christopher Robin
is definitely one of the happiest and innocent kids in the Disney universe. And with that, our list is over. Did we give someone too much trouble, or do
