Eeyore is a character in the Winnie-the-Pooh book series, debuting in Winnie-the-Pooh (1926). The character is inspired by a stuffed toy that Milne had bought for his son Christopher Robin in Harrods department store. Eeyore is an old, grey donkey and resident of the Hundred Acre Wood. Eeyore is generally characterised as pessimistic, depressed, and anhedonic, but he also has a tender, empathetic heart and a wise, contemplative understanding of the world around him. Eeyore has been adapted into the Winnie the Pooh media franchise created by the Walt Disney Company. Debuting in Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree (1966), the character has been a mainstay of the series.
