Piglet: Difference between revisions

'''Piglet''' is a resident of the [[100 Acre Wood]]. He appears in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''. He is best friends with the [[world]]'s the deuteragonist, [[Winnie the Pooh]].

In the English version of ''Kingdom Hearts'', Piglet was voiced by his original voice actor, {{w|John Fiedler}}. Fiedler, up to that point, had done Piglet's voice ever since Piglet's first appearance in ''{{w|Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day}}''. However, Fiedler died before ''Kingdom Hearts II'' was dubbed into English, and so Travis Oates (Piglet's current official voice) took over the role for the second game. Coincidentally, Tigger's original voice actor, {{w|Paul Winchell}}, who unlike Fiedler, did not reprise his role due to having long retired from acting by then, passed away the day before Fiedler himself died.

A facsimile of Piglet created by [[Naminé]] was featured in this game as a memory to Sora.

== Personality ==

Piglet is well known for being extremely timid due to his small stature. Piglet regularly convinces himself that he is too small to make much of a difference in most situations. However, Piglet's friends often help him realize that he has a lot of potential greatness stored inside of him; he simply needs to find the right way to let it out. Piglet is usually the first to panic in a stressful situation, using his big, floppy ears to cover his eyes in fright. But once he has calmed down, he usually manages to put forth some worthy suggestions for solving the problem at hand (although his friends sometimes downgrade his ideas, suggesting that his radically different perspective hampers his view of what is really happening). Piglet has great admiration for Pooh, who he views as his best friend in all of the Hundred-Acre Wood.

== Appearance ==

Piglet is an extremely small pig, weighing so little that a moderate breeze can pick him up and carry him for miles if nothing obstructs his path. His skin is completely pink, his ears and nose being darker shades than the rest of his body. He wears a pink jumper, which fits him snugly. Next to [[Roo]], he is the smallest of the main characters in the Hundred-Acre Wood, which contributes greatly to his outlook on life.

== Origin ==

This version of Piglet is based after his appearance in Walt Disney's Academy Award-winning short ''{{w|Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day}}'', and all of his appearances in the Pooh franchise afterwards. Piglet was originally created by the real life {{w|Christopher Robin Milne|Christopher Robin}} and his father, {{w|A. A. Milne}}, who both expanded upon his character from a small doll of a piglet that Christopher owned. He made his literary debut in A. A. Milne's book ''{{w|Winnie-the-Pooh|Winnie the Pooh}}'', playing Pooh's best friend from the very beginning.

 

John Fiedler had been Piglet's main voice actor ever since his ''Blustery Day'' debut, and continued to play the role until his death in 2005, making the original ''Kingdom Hearts'' Fiedler's only appearance in the series. Incidentally, ''Kingdom Hearts II'' marked the overall debut of Fiedler's successor, Travis Oates, in the role.
