Eeyore..the donkey....

Eeyore is everyone's favorite delightfully dismal donkey. But Eeyore doesn't see himself as gloomy -- he just has low expectations. He expects nothing from anybody, so whenever his friends do come to his aid his expectations of the worst are overthrown, and he is sincerely grateful. Eeyore's tiny bright pink bow on his tail, the one hint of color against his gray, is a perfect symbol of the kernel of joy that occasionally surfaces in Eeyore. Though he may pretend he's helping because there's nothing better to do -- make no mistake, Eeyore is always there for his friends.

Debut: 1966 - Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree

Hobbies: Constantly losing his tail, moping about
Favorite Phrase: "It's not much of a tail, but I'm sort of attached to it."
Note of Interest: The design of Eeyore has remained faithful to the original book version.
