Kanga and Roo

Kanga:

• CHARACTER INFORMATION: ° OTHER NAMES: Mrs. Kanga, Ma'am (by Tigger), Mama (by Roo), Mom (by Roo), ° OCCUPATION: Homemaker. ° HOME: Hundred Acre Wood [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Hundred_Acre_Wood ]. ° LIKES: Roo, hugs, knitting, cleaning, her friends, nurturing others. ° DISLIKES: Roo in danger. ° STATUS: Active.
• FAMILY INFORMATION: ° CHILDREN: Roo (son) [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Roo ]. ° OWNER(S): Christopher Robin [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Christopher_Robin ].
• Kanga is an anthropomorphic, stuffed kangaroo belonging to Christopher Robin [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Christopher_Robin ] that first appeared in Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Winnie_the_Pooh_and_the_Honey_Tree ]. Hospitable and gentle, Kanga is the mother of Roo [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Roo ] and a good friend to the Hundred Acre Wood [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Hundred_Acre_Wood ] residents, most notably Tigger [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Tigger ].
• Background: In Piglet's Big Movie [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Piglet%27s_Big_Movie ], Kanga and Roo [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Roo ] are implied to have been the newest members of the Hundred Acre Wood [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Hundred_Acre_Wood ] (despite Blustery Day making it clear that Tigger [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Tigger ] is the newest resident). Upon their arrival, Kanga was mistaken for a predator by Rabbit [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Rabbit ], Tigger, Pooh, and Piglet. However, after a misadventure, they come to realize Kanga's true nature and warmly welcomed her and Roo into their circle. Kanga lives in a literal treehouse (which shares a joint mailbox, indicating two residences rather than one) with her son Roo. She spends much of her time at home while Roo typically joins the adventures of Pooh and the others. Kanga acts much like a typical housewife (despite being a single mother) as she is mostly seen cleaning and tending to Roo's needs. Of all the Hundred Acre Woods residents, Kanga has the strongest friendship with Tigger, whom she sometimes treats as her own. This makes sense as Tigger and Roo often treat each other as siblings. Kanga is notable in that she is one of the few characters that Tigger does not bounce. Instead, he treats her extremely respectfully, often referring to her as "Mrs. Kanga", even though in Un-Valentine's Day [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Un-Valentine%27s_Day ], he does bounce Kanga, claiming "you always bounce someone you love". Kanga was initially the only female character in the Winnie the Pooh franchise [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Winnie_the_Pooh_(franchise) ]. This changed with the introduction of recurring characters, such as Kessie [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Kessie ] and Mama Heffalump [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Mama_Heffalump_(Pooh%27s_Heffalump_Movie) ] (with whom Kanga developed a close friendship). However, she continues to be the only female character in the main cast.
• Personality: Kanga is easily the most down-to-earth resident of the Hundred Acre Wood, so much so that she rarely joins the madcap exploits of her friends. Being a mother, Kanga is sweet and nurturing to both Roo and the others. She is also wise to some degree and shares this wisdom with other residents, such as Piglet. As she lacks the eccentricity of Tigger or the temper of Rabbit, Kanga often appears to be extremely leveled and mature. Her maturity also allowed her to be the first resident (alongside Roo) to overcome the universal fear of Heffalumps [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Heffalumps ] in Pooh's Heffalump Movie [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Pooh%27s_Heffalump_Movie ], to the point that, upon watching a Heffalump with Roo, she was the only one to not really be scared or worried, only being confused, which shows that Kanga is able to not judge a situation for what it seems and that, at times, she doesn't let fear cloud her thinking and reasoning. With that said, as expected from any member of the Hundred Acre Wood, Kanga's common sense isn't infallible. In cases such as Winnie the Pooh [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Winnie_the_Pooh_(film) ] and Christopher Robin [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Christopher_Robin_(film) ], she exhibits a similar superstitious and fearful disposition as the rest of the animals. In the former, she even contributes listing down horrifying acts by the Backson, such as waking up babies and stealing a person's youth. This is arguably the closest to developing personal phobias and grievances of Kanga. In Piglet's Big Movie [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Piglet%27s_Big_Movie ] she is observed to have a playful sense of mischief, tormenting Piglet after figuring out his ruse before making friends with him.
• Film appearances: ° The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh: In The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Kanga appears in all the stories. In Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Winnie_the_Pooh_and_the_Honey_Tree ], Kanga is shown with Roo at Christopher Robin's [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Christopher_Robin ] house and inspecting Eeyore's [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Eeyore ] tail after it is reattached. Later on, she brings Roo to give Pooh some flowers when Pooh is trapped in Rabbit's door. Later on, she comes with Christopher Robin and Eeyore to help remove him, when Pooh has grown thin enough, as she takes hold of Christopher's drum, with Eeyore pulling her tail. In Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Winnie_the_Pooh_and_the_Blustery_Day ], Kanga is one of the people who comes to see the damage to Owl's home, which was blown over by the strong winds. During the flood, Kanga, Roo, and Tigger [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Tigger ] are able to reach safety at Christopher Robin's home by using an umbrella as a boat. After the flood, Kanga attends the hero party that is held in honor of Pooh [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Winnie_the_Pooh ] and Piglet [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Piglet ]. In Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Winnie_the_Pooh_and_Tigger_Too ], Kanga appears in the second half of the segment. One winter day, she allows Roo to go out and play with Tigger. Kanga later comes to their aid when Tigger discovers his fear of heights. Roo is able to jump to safety, with Kanga encouraging him to not fall too fast. When Tigger is brought down, Rabbit [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Rabbit ] tries to hold Tigger to a promise to never bounce. Kanga remarks on his sadness and everyone eventually agrees to allow Tigger to keep bouncing, Tigger promising Rabbit that he will always watch where he is bouncing. Kanga is then seen bouncing alongside everyone else. ° The Tigger Movie: In The Tigger Movie, Kanga is first seen sweeping her front porch when Tigger bounces up and asks her to bounce with him, but she says she cannot because she has too much work to do. Later on, Kanga is seen along with Roo, Rabbit, Pooh, Piglet, and Eeyore trying to remove a boulder off of Eeyore's house with Rabbit's Rock Remover [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Rock_Remover ] and when Kanga suggests they could use another helping hand, Tigger bounces up and bounces onto the boulder, making both it and everyone else (except for Tigger and Roo) roll into the mud. When Kanga reaches into her pouch, she finds a fish in it. After this Tigger asks the gang to bounce with him to which Kanga and the others tell him that they can't bounce with him because they're not Tiggers like he is. Later on that night, Roo tells Kanga that he wishes Tigger could be his big brother and be a member of their family to which Kanga tells Roo that Tigger is one of their family and will always be if they continue to care for him. The next day, Kanga, Roo, Eeyore, Pooh, Piglet, and Owl all gather at Owl's house to write Tigger a letter from his family and they all come up with their own ideas of what to say in the letter, including Kanga who suggests it should say "Dress Warmly." ° Piglet's Big Movie: When Piglet goes missing, Pooh and his friends use his scrapbook to find him and learn more about Piglet. In one of his memories, Kanga and Roo have recently moved in, and Tigger and Rabbit believe them to be predators and are afraid of them. Piglet accidentally switches places with Roo. Kanga then acts as if she thinks Piglet is Roo and uses this to show she is a sweet person. After Piglet calms down, she reveals she knew, and everything is settled. Later, Pooh and Christopher Robin begin an expedition to find the North Pole, and Kanga joins the friends. ° Pooh's Heffalump Movie: Kanga is a supporting character in the film and is first seen at the beginning, with Roo wondering what the mysterious noise is. She learns later that night that it was a Heffalump and calms Roo's anger after he was denied a position in the Heffalump expedition. Later on, Kanga searches for Roo and finds him with Lumpy. Rabbit, Tigger, Pooh, and Piglet are immediately terrified of Lumpy, but Kanga is confused. She later sees Roo free Lumpy from a trap, learning that he is Roo's friend. She is touched by this, but when the others find and capture Lumpy, Kanga tells everyone (Rabbit especially) to stop and let Roo explain himself. She is touched by Roo's words. Kanga is last seen with Roo and their friends enjoying time with their new Heffalump friends. ° Winnie the Pooh: Kanga is first seen with Roo during the song "A Very Important Thing to Do." [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/A_Very_Important_Thing_to_Do ] She is later seen at the meeting centering Eeyore's lost tail. When a reward is meant to be issued, Kanga suggests a warm hug. She is also the third to give Eeyore a tail. She gives him a scarf, but it eventually unravels. Kanga is seen at Owl's house later on and learns about the Backson [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/The_Backson ]. She joins the hunt to capture the creature and gets herself trapped in the Backson pit. In a scene when Owl is talking, she puts on earmuffs she made and decides to sleep. She is then wakened up by Roo when they were freed by Pooh's thinking and Kanga and the others celebrate the return of Christopher Robin who actually just went to school for the day. ° Christopher Robin: In Christopher Robin, Kanga is first seen during Christopher's farewell party. Years after Christopher's departure, she and Roo continue their lives in the woods until they mysteriously go missing, forcing Pooh to seek an adult Christopher's help. Like the others, Kanga is initially skeptical about Christopher's identity but embraces him once she realizes he truly is himself. Kanga maintains her maternal sensibility, commenting on Christopher's growth. She does not join Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, and Eeyore on their journey to London. She does, however, meet Christopher Robin's wife and daughter at the end of the film, once Pooh's adventures ended.
• Featurette Appearances: ° Sing A Song With Pooh Bear: In Pooh's quest for a song, Kanga and Roo show him their own, "The Kanga Roo Hop". Curiously while most of the music videos in the featurette follow the Sing Along Songs format of recycling footage from the Pooh films and episodes, Kanga and Roo's segment utilizes original animation, likely required from their limited appearances up until that point. ° Springtime With Roo: Kanga has a minor role in the film, serving mostly as a confidant for Roo.
• Television appearances: ° The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh: In the TV series, Kanga is only a recurring character. She appears in a total of 8 out of 83 episodes, being absent altogether by the final season. In "Babysitter Blues," [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Babysitter_Blues ] Kanga leaves Christopher Robin, Pooh, Piglet, and Tigger in charge of Roo. When she returns and finds out Tigger and Roo are missing during a game of Hide-and-Seek, she becomes awfully worried about Roo and starts crying, but is relieved when Roo and Tigger come out of hiding from under the bed. In "The Old Switcheroo," [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/The_Old_Switcheroo ] Tigger tries to hide Roo from Kanga so she will not give him a bath. Kanga manages to find Roo, but on the way home, Pooh manages to distract Kanga while Tigger grabs Roo and puts Piglet in Kanga's pouch. When Kanga gets home she accidentally mistakes Piglet for Roo and gives him a bubble bath. When Piglet tries to tell her he's Piglet, Kanga simply says that he is Roo doing a good job imitating Piglet's voice. Then Pooh appears and corrects Kanga and takes Piglet home. Tigger and Roo come home from playing in the mud, but get stuck to gum and ask Kanga to get them unstuck. Kanga says that the only way she can get them unstuck is by giving them a bath. Afterward, Tigger and Roo learn that baths are not as bad as they thought.

Roo:

• CHARACTER INFORMATION: ° OTHER NAMES: Roo Boy, Dear. ° HOME: Hundred Acre Wood; ' '. ° LIKES: Bouncing, playing with Tigger; ' https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Tigger ', having fun, his friends and family. ° DISLIKES: Extract of malt, seeing Tigger sad, his friends misjudging heffalumps; ' https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Heffalumps '. ° POWERS AND ABILITIES: Jumping abilities, Bouncing skills. ° STATUS: Active.
• FAMILY INFORMATION: ° PARENTS: Kanga (mother); ' https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Kanga '. ° OWNER(S): Christopher Robin; ' https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Christopher_Robin '.
• Roo is a character in the Winnie The Pooh [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Winnie_the_Pooh_(franchise) ] franchise. He is a stuffed joey belonging to Christopher Robin [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Christopher_Robin ] who first appeared in Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Winnie_the_Pooh_and_the_Honey_Tree ]. He is the playful and spirited son of Kanga [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Kanga ] and the best friend of Tigger [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Tigger ] and Lumpy [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Lumpy ].
• Background: Piglet's Big Movie suggests that Roo and his mother, Kanga [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Kanga ], are the most recent residents of the Hundred Acre Wood [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Hundred_Acre_Wood ]. They live in a tree house where they have a conjoined mailbox. Roo is, unsurprisingly, the youngest member of Winnie the Pooh's [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Winnie_the_Pooh ] circle of friends. The earliest Pooh shorts, such as Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Winnie_the_Pooh_and_the_Blustery_Day ] and Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Winnie_the_Pooh_and_Tigger_Too ], portray Roo as a toddler that spends most of his time tucked inside his mother's pouch. The earlier shorts also depict Roo as still learning to speak, as he was unable to pronounce Christopher Robin's [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Christopher_Robin ] name. More modern Pooh media depict Roo as slightly older and more proactive. He rarely spends time in his mother's pouch and will often take part in the shenanigans of Pooh and friends without Kanga's involvement. Roo's youthful and energetic personality (as well as his natural love of bouncing) makes him the perfect companion for Tigger [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Tigger ], with whom Roo shares a relationship akin to two siblings. However, his young age sometimes prevents him from tagging along on Pooh's adventures (mainly because Rabbit [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Rabbit ] and even Tigger believes Roo's too young for certain expeditions). When not with Tigger or Kanga, Roo spends his free time with Dexter, Owl's [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Owl_(Winnie_the_Pooh) ] cousin. Since Lumpy's [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Lumpy ] introduction, he and Roo have been portrayed as best friends and spend most of their time together.
• Personality: Roo takes after Tigger in that he is spirited and adventurous. He acts his age, being curious and energetic. He is also optimistic and fearless; when he and Tigger were stuck atop a tall tree, Roo remained calm and upbeat throughout the entire ordeal while Tigger was petrified. Another example is the time Roo was caught in a river. Rather than panicking, he remained happy-go-lucky, despite how worried the adults were. His fearlessness also drives him to be daring and even a little rebellious. Roo was the most excited to catch a Heffalump in Pooh's Heffalump Movie [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Pooh%27s_Heffalump_Movie ] and scoffed at the idea that such a mission would be too dangerous for him to handle. When Rabbit forbade him for tagging along, Roo ventured into Heffalump Hallow anyway. Roo is rather wise for his age, at times. He was initially afraid of Heffalumps due to the legends he had heard from the adults around him but was open to the prospect of a Heffalump being just as harmless and friendly as the Hundred Acre Woods residents. Roo was, in fact, the first member of the Hundred Acre Woods to befriend a Heffalump, which kickstarted a mutual understanding between Heffalumps and the Hundred Acre Woods gang.
• Physical appearance: Roo is a joey whose height is similar to Piglet's. Roo has light brown fur and an upturned tail. He has beady black eyes and thin eyebrows. He also has a small nose and black mouth. His only attire is a sky blue long-sleeved T-shirt that he wears all the time. Finally, Roo sports two strands of black hair on the top of his head. The inside of his ears is light pink and he has pink pads on the bottoms of his feet.
• Film appearances: ° The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh: Roo makes minor appearances in the first two segments of the film. In Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Winnie_the_Pooh_and_the_Honey_Tree ], he is first seen with his mother Kanga, as they are watching Christopher Robin [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Christopher_Robin ] fix Eeyore's [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Eeyore ] tail. Roo is delighted when the tail is fixed properly. Later on, he assists in Pooh's removal from Rabbit's [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Rabbit ] door, at the very end of the line pulling Eeyore's tail, but accidentally ends up pulling it off, when Gopher comes along to help Roo. In Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Winnie_the_Pooh_and_the_Blustery_Day ], Roo is seen momentarily with Kanga. They both see Piglet being blown like a kite by the wind, with Pooh holding on to Piglet by his unraveled scarf. Roo asks to fly Piglet after Pooh is finished. During the flood, Roo travels to Christopher Robin's house with Kanga and Tigger. There, Roo is the one to discover the bottle containing Piglet's message. Roo has a larger role in the third segment, Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Winnie_the_Pooh_and_Tigger_Too ]. During wintertime, Roo goes to play in the snow with Tigger. At one point, Tigger and Roo bounce up a tree. Unfortunately, Tigger discovers his fear of heights and remains trapped. Christopher Robin, Kanga, and other animals come to the aid of the pair. Roo jumps down and lands on Christopher Robin's coat, which they were using as a net. But Tigger is only about to come down with some assistance from the narrator, after which Tigger promises never to bounce again. On the ground, Rabbit holds Tigger to his promise but reneges after Roo notes how much he likes the bouncy Tigger. ° Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore: Roo first appears playing Pooh Sticks with Pooh, Piglet, and Rabbit. They find Eeyore drifting away in the river, but are able to save him. When Tigger is accused of bouncing Eeyore into the water, Roo doesn't pay it much thought, only hoping to play with Tigger. Later on, Roo is present at Eeyore's birthday party, and lastly during the Pooh Sticks game with all the Hundred Acre Wood gang. When Kanga tells Roo that it is time to go home, the latter tries to protest by claiming he is not sleepy (while yawning as he does). Kanga then tells him to "come along" home and Owl, Rabbit, Tigger, and Eeyore go home as well from the bridge that evening. ° The Tigger Movie: In this film as the deuteragonist, Tigger longs to find his relatives and Roo decides to join him on his search. At Tigger's tree house, the duo uncovers a locket that Tigger believes was given to one of his family members. With high hopes, Tigger and Roo send a letter inviting the other Tiggers to a family reunion in the Hundred Acre Woods. Soon enough, the letter is never replied to, and Roo heads home. That night, Roo tells his mother of the event and they decide to write a family oriented letter to Tigger. When he received the letter, Tigger thought it was from his actual family and becomes overjoyed after believing they are making their way for a visit. Roo and the others then pose themselves as Tiggers but the charade is revealed when Roo attempts to perform the famous Whoop-de-Dooper Loop-de-Looper Alley-Ooper Bounce. Heartbroken, Tigger leaves the Hundred Acre Woods to find his relatives. Roo, Pooh, Piglet, Rabbit, and Eeyore set off in a blizzard to find Tigger and bring him home. After an avalanche, Christopher Robin explains that Roo and the others are Tigger's real family. Tigger is pleased with the realization and even deems Roo his little brother, giving him the Tigger family locket as a gift. ° Piglet's Big Movie: In this film, Piglet leaves the Hundred Acre Woods, feeling out of place because of his diminutive size. Roo and the others then head out to find him, using the pictures in Piglet's scrapbook as a map. While searching, each picture brings a fond memory that reminds the friends of how heroic Piglet is. One memory goes back to when Roo was being dragged away by a river, only to be saved by Piglet, though Pooh was the one that received the credit. At one point during the search, Tigger and Rabbit engage in an argument, resulting in the book being dropped into the river and drifted away. Roo and the others head back home for a moment but become inspired to run back out to try again. Pooh spots the book on the log over a waterfall and attempts to retrieve it. The bear nearly falls until Piglet arrives. The friends reunite, and Piglet is deemed a hero. ° Winnie the Pooh: Springtime with Roo: Roo stars in his own movie as the protagonist. In the film, Roo, along with his friends are excited about Easter, which is fast approaching. However, Rabbit has decided to replace the day with Spring Cleaning Day, which he made up. While cleaning Rabbit's home, Roo finds Easter decorations and throws a surprise Easter Party, but Rabbit is upset. Roo resolves to try to cheer Rabbit up. Later on, they learn from Tigger, who had spoken with Rabbit, that Rabbit had become upset after last year's celebration. When the friends wanted a fun Easter, rather than the orderly one Rabbit had planned, they had chosen Tigger to be the Easter Bunny over Rabbit. Roo wants Rabbit to be happy, and so he and the others try to make a plan to cheer Rabbit up. They begin to work, when Rabbit comes in, having had a change of heart, and Easter goes on as planned. In the film, he acted as Tiny Tim [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Tiny_Tim ] from The Christmas Carol. ° Pooh's Heffalump Movie: Roo is the protagonist in this film. Here, Rabbit, Tigger, Piglet, Pooh, and Eeyore head off on the very first Heffalump Expedition. However, Roo is excluded because he is too young. After the gang heads off into Heffalump Hollow, Roo decides to head in to catch a Heffalump himself, proving to be a hero. Instead, he meets and befriends a young Heffalump named Lumpy. The two become very close but Lumpy is soon enough ambushed by Tigger, Rabbit, Piglet, and Pooh, who think Roo is being attacked. Lumpy gets caught in a Heffalump trap but Roo frees him. Lumpy then departs the scene but Roo ends up trapped in a thicket made of trees. Lumpy quickly calls his mother for help and the large Heffalump succeeds to vacuum up Roo with her trunk. Thanks to the friendship of Lumpy and Roo, the Heffalumps make peace with Pooh and the others. ° Winnie the Pooh: Roo plays a supporting role in the this last animated feature. He is more often seen in his mother's pouch. He was first seen with his mother, receiving a message from Pooh about an important meeting to take place. There, Roo and his friends learn that Eeyore's tail is missing and a prize is to be distributed to the one that can find it, or a substitute. Roo suggests a firecracker as the prize but the rest of the gang decide on honey. At Owl's house, Owl tries to interpret a note left by Christopher Robin and Roo openly questions the fact if Owl can or not. Eventually, Owl deduces that Christopher Robin was kidnapped by a creature called the Backson. The others are curious to know what the beast looks like, and Roo provides some chalk for Owl to draw it. Roo and his mother join the rest of the gang on an expedition hunt for the beast. Roo uses his crayons and toys as bait to lure the creature into a deep pit. Later on, something is caught in the pit and Rabbit, Kanga, and Owl argues about who should check until Roo suggests Piglet. It is revealed that Pooh is trapped, and soon enough, the rest of the gang is as well. Once they escape, Christopher Robin appears, explaining that he was only at school. When Pooh finally finds Eeyore's actual tail, Roo and the others reward him with an oversized jar of honey. ° Christopher Robin: In the beginning, Roo is seen celebrating Christopher Robin's good-bye party with his mother and friends. Roo eats some of the cake that Christopher baked for everyone and bounces with Tigger before passing out, sleeping in Kanga's arms. Years later, Roo and his friends mysteriously disappear due to Owl's broken weather vane making a scary noise which caused Roo and the others to think that a Heffalump is nearby. This prompts Pooh to reunite with a grown-up Christopher Robin where he returns to the Hundred Acre Wood for the first time in years. However, Roo and the others don't recognize Christopher, thinking he is a Heffalump. It is Roo who convinces Christopher to prove to them that he is their friend which he manages to successfully do by pretending to defeat a Heffalump. Roo embraces Christopher and reassures him that he'll find Pooh somewhere after the two had an argument earlier on. This gives Christopher the realization where Pooh is and meets him at their usual spot where the two reconcile. The next morning, when Christopher realizes he's late for work and says his daughter is important to him, Roo asks why she isn't with him if she is so important to him. At the end of film, Roo meets Christopher Robin's daughter Madeline [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Madeline_Robin ] (whom he takes a liking to) and wife Evelyn [ https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Evelyn_Robin ]. As Roo and his friends enjoy a picnic together, Roo starts to bounce with Tigger and Madeline.
• Television appearances: ° Welcome to Pooh Corner: In this series, Roo was represented by a standard puppet, unlike the other characters who were played by humans in adult-sized puppet costumes. In early episodes, Roo is a toddler and is usually seen either in Kanga's pouch, a high chair or on the back of Eeyore or Tigger. In later episodes, he appears to be preschool age and walked around more. He shares a song with Tigger called "Be a Buddy, Be a Pal". ° The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh: Roo is a secondary character in the animated series. He features prominently in the episodes "The Old Switcheroo" and "The Bug Stops Here". In "The Old Switcheroo", Roo is trying to avoid a bath, so Tigger switches him with Piglet. However, Kanga believes that Roo is merely acting like Piglet. In "The Bug Stops Here", Roo, along with Owl's young Cousin Dexter, is being babysat by Pooh. Pooh takes the pair to see Christopher Robin, who shows them his science project, a bug. When the bug disappears, Roo must help Pooh and Dexter find a new bug.
