While Rabbit's fighting with the bugs, Eeyore thinks they're dancing at a party, so he dances on Rabbit's Bridge leading to the garden and his house in the hopes of joining in, but accidentally steps on his tail, pulling it off and tripping. Fed up with his tail, Eeyore decides to stop wearing it.
His tail was not always fixed to him by a nail, although Disney has chosen this as part of his permanent image. When Eeyore lost his tail, Owl found it and used it as a bell-pull beside his door before Pooh found it for Eeyore. Christopher Robin then pinned it back on.
Pooh notices Owl's bell pull. It occurs to him that it looks familiar, and when he learns Owl just found it in the forest, he realizes it is Eeyore's tail. Christopher Robin reattaches it to Eeyore, who is uncharacteristically buoyant.

Eventually, Rabbit finds it, and the bugs have fallen in love with it. Meanwhile, Tigger convinces Eeyore to get his tail back, but can't find it. Rabbit makes a little boat, with a shoe box and two cones, and puts a bug like face on it to get them over to the dock.
“Eeyore is hardly ever happy, and even when he is, he's still sardonic and a bit cynical. Ironically, he actually seems to enjoy being gloomy to an extent and sees it as the essence of his very being.”
But Eeyore, the donkey, takes his name from a phonetic spelling of the sound a donkey makes. While there are few glum characters in children's books, anthropomorphized animals are of course a staple of the genre.
In addition to this, a few episodes of the animated series The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh have shown hints that Eeyore is arguably the smartest, wisest, and most down-to-earth resident of the Hundred Acre Woods and has the most common sense (along with Kanga), most notably seen in the episode "Stripes" and "Home ...
“I'd say thistles, but nobody listens to me, anyway.”
In the adaptations, Eeyore has developed a close friendship with Tigger.
Christopher Robins's dear friend, Eeyore, is 40 years old in the book series.
“It's not much of a tail, but I'm sort of attached to it.” 25. “It's an awful nice tail, Kanga. Much nicer than the rest of me.”
Eeyore exhibits five symptoms of a major depressive episode, and has also experienced these for several years, therefore meeting full criteria. Criteria met include depressed mood most of the day, markedly diminished interest or pleasure in activities, fatigue or loss of energy nearly every day, feelings of ...
Lloyd Birdwell came up with the idea for Eeyore's Birthday Party when he was a UT grad student 57 years ago. Birdwell, who passed away at age 70 in 2014, named the birthday bash to honor Eeyore, who – according to A.A. Milne's stories – became saddened when he thought his friends had forgotten his birthday.
In the episode “Winnie-the-Pooh and a Day for Eeyore,” the gang discovers Eeyore is particularly sad because no one remembered his birthday. Distraught by this oversight, Pooh and Piglet rush home to get gifts for their friend.
“Pooh and Piglet experienced a drastic drop in food as Christopher grew up. Over the years, they became increasingly hungry and feral. They had to resort to eating Eeyore.
He's canonically grey. To make him more marketable, they turn him blue for merchandise. Yeah that's what I figured. That's why I'm taking a "damn the man" stance and choosing grey as my Eeyore of choice.

Roo. Roo is Kanga's cheerful, playful, energetic son, who moved to the Hundred Acre Wood with her. His best friends are Tigger and a young Heffalump named Lumpy who loves to play with him. Roo is the youngest of the main characters.
At first, the teddy bear that Christopher had was called Edward. After a visit to the zoo, where A.A.Milne met a Canadian black bear called Winnie, he named the bear in his story Winnie. 'Pooh' was named after a swan called Pooh that Milne had met on holiday!
Where does Tigger come from? Tigger first appeared as a character in A.A. Milne's The House at Pooh Corner in 1928. The character was named after a stuffed tiger belonging to Milne's son, Christopher Robin Milne. The character first appeared on film in the 1968 Disney film Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day.
