Appearance

Winnie the Pooh is a stout, round bear with a distinctive golden-yellow or honey-colored coat that gives him his name. His plump, teddy bear-like silhouette is one of the most recognizable in animation, featuring a large tummy and short, stubby limbs that give him an eternally huggable appearance. Pooh has a soft, rounded muzzle with a darker brown nose, small rounded ears perched on top of his head, and gentle, expressive eyes that convey his emotions clearly.

His most iconic outfit is a bright red, short-sleeved t-shirt with a distinctive swoosh design across the chest - a simple costume that has become as synonymous with the character as his honey obsession. Pooh typically goes barefoot, and his design emphasizes a soft, cuddly aesthetic that appeals to viewers of all ages.
