He is an anthropomorphic, honey-loving teddy bear belonging to Christopher Robin. Pooh is stuffed with fluff, and there for impervious to pain. Due to his obesity, his seams burst open on occasion, but Pooh has become so accustomed to this that he can tie it back together in seconds. He keeps the jars of honey, which he harvests from beehives throughout the day in his tree house named Sanders.
Pooh is described as being "a bear of very little brain." He is generally kind and friendly towards everyone and has a behaviour that is childlike and innocent. Because of his limited intelligence, however, Pooh is extremely naive. Absent-minded and simple, he tends to process things at a slower pace than his friends. Pooh's sluggish nature also makes him somewhat passive in most situations.
In the movie series, Pooh is often shown dealing with various conflicts involving his friends. The ending of some episodes shows Pooh recounting the day's events to Christopher Robin. The series also shows that Pooh and the gang would often visit Christopher Robin at his home, where many adventures are found. But in the book series, Pooh is portrayed by a bunraku-style puppet, so that the show resembles a pop-up book. Since this show was aimed towards children. Pooh's adventures are geared more towards educating the viewer.
Pooh himself represents contentment or happiness. Should we all strive to be a bit more like Pooh in accepting ourselves and the way the world is. He may be silly, but he has his wisdom.
