Though he's far from the bravest animal, he has successfully come through for his friends on numerous occasions. When it comes to adventuring, Piglet is somewhat of a reluctant hero, as he typically likes to avoid any potential danger by staying home, only to tag along out of fear of disappointing his friends.
Though Pooh and the others don't seem to mind Piglet's phobias and happily bring him along and/or protect him through every adventure, Piglet is noticeably embarrassed and ashamed of his dominate cowardliness, and many stories have revolved around him making attempts to overcome his fears. Piglet also has a speech impediment that causes him to stutter. He apparently suffers from anxiety and is often seen cowering in fear in even the tamest moments. Mostly due to his small size and flimsiness, Piglet is an incredibly timid, fragile, and insecure animal.
The same prototypical version of Piglet appeared with a more expanded role in Winnie the Pooh: A Tight Squeeze, a Little Golden Book adaptation of Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree that was released in 1964. According to the film's director, Wolfgang Reitherman, Piglet was replaced by Gopher, which was thought to have a more "folksy, all-American, grass-roots image." Piglet did make a brief appearance in the short's introductory song, albeit with a notably different design.
Despite this, however, he is not an actual child, as Roo has been suggested to be the only juvenile member of the gang.Īlthough featured in every Disney interpretation of Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet was originally omitted by Disney in the first Pooh film, Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree. Like most of the characters, Piglet is named after his own species. Piglet has great pride in his house, being somewhat of a homebody-when not with Pooh, he spends most of his time either cleaning or decorating his home. Though he apparently gives the home to Owl and moves in with Pooh at the end of Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day, other media depict Piglet as still residing in his grandfather's home. According to Piglet, the home once belonged to his grandfather, who was named Trespassers William. Piglet is shown to live in a large home in a beech tree.
