Winnie: Eating disorder
Piglet: Anxiety
Eeyore: Depression
Rabbit: OCD
Tigger: ADHD
Christopher Robin: Schizophrenia
Owl: Dyslexia
Kanga: Social Anxiety
Roo: Autism
Winnie: Gluttony
Piglet: Greed
Eeyore: Sloth
Rabbit: Wrath
Kanga: Lust
i think rabbit should have dyslexia
@@imsocringeandidocringestuf7301 Piglet's not greedy. Nor is Kanga lustful!
@@nicholasemjohnson47 read the guy's username
Is dyslexia actually a disorder? If yes than it is not that bad of a disorder
I think Pooh has binge eating disorder too.
I can't take Po's illness seriously unless he actually throws up the honey and become thinner. The binging doesn't cut it for me.
Snap Chat Kween what
Snap Chat Kween binge eating disorder you don’t throw up after
I know that but I can't figure out how binging is an eating disorder. It's understandable if he's bulimic but he's not getting thin.
Snap Chat Kween you dont have to be thin to have an eating disorder. It basically means you have an unhealthy relationship with food. There are people who eat 2000 calories in one sitting everyday and then mentally punish themselves for having no self control. You dont have to puke or starve yourself to have an eating disorder.
I don't see how this ruins people's childhoods. For me, it makes Winnie the Pooh better because I can relate to the characters. Also, I thought Pooh had an eating disorder and Owl had Narcissistic Personality Disorder in this theory?
alex time low I agree as someone who suffers with a lot of these disorders it helps me feel less alone and feel a close connection to the characters
For me assumed eeyore had depression and piglet had anxiety right away
But I always thought Pooh had dyslexia
Owl has dyslexia but doesn’t like to admit it . Think pooh like the others just don’t know how to read yet so they rely on owl
I don't suffer from any disorders as far as I know, but I feel like it would be better if it was this way since the story would then have an even deeper meaning to it, plus it sounds much cooler.
why am i just realizing that christopher had imaginary friends ?
I don't really think that the characters have a mental disorder.
It's Christopher Robin who came up with the personality's of his stuffed animals right? Maybe their "mental disorders" are just over dramatic reenactments of his different emotions. Maybe when there's an episode dedicated to Eyor Christopher feels sad and his feelings come to life in his fanatsy.
+Ella That's actually a good explanation. Like, each character represents an emotion of Christopher Robin. :O
Well, this is just a theory so I dont think you should take it so seriously
It may not necessarily be his emotions. He might have been surrounded by neurotic, maladjusted adults and he was simply mimicking their quirky attributes through his imaginary friends.
Well the creater made it like that and I may each be based off of him (not provin just makes seance)
I feel like he has maladaptive daydreaming disorder
When I was younger I thought piglet was a girl
Just wanted to get that off my chest
+TheHeavenlyBuddy You're not alone. I did too.
I thought rabbit and roo were girls....
Glad I’m not the only one
sameee
I was shocked when my parents had to keep telling me it was a boy
This week's Cartoon Conspiracy covers... Pooh Problems! Watch the Winnie the Pooh Theory now: frdr.us/1BlTUhC
There is nothing wrong with A.D.H.D. and Depression! SO WHAT!
Aaron Berger
i have a.d.h.d and im slightly dislexic
a.d.h.d just distracts people
cbzpizza Yeah, and makes them run around and act crazy when they haven't had their medicines.
wrong again because 1. Pooh Bear always does what he does 2. piglet is a coward 3. dyslexia people can't write owl can 4. tigger is tigger. 5. rabbit is one of those follow the rules person and 6. stuff animal can't move by themselves so Christopher robin couldn't have pretend they're alive (possibly)
I always assumed Tiger had ADHD, piglet had anxiety and the donkey had depression. I never really thought about it but it was always in the back of my head. Like something I just knew so I didn't need to talk about it or think about it.So I'm kind of surprised everyone else is surprised by this theory.
I also believe flutter shy from MLP has aspergers.
***** It's a mental disorder where people have trouble talking and behaving around others. They also obsess about things they happen to like.
*****
she is very shy, has trouble speaking to people, yet obsesses over animals and once you get her started on them she can't stop. Try to get her to talk about something else and she will nope right out of there. Of course it has gotten better over time thanks to the rest of the crew.
Aspergers is a form of Autism
I don't really agree with your theory. I mean, you over-simplified the symptoms of Aspergers and didn't count the other ones. What about being startled by sudden sounds? Or having a bit of a robotic voice? Or having sensory issues? I know that some people have different symptoms or have them at different levels, but three isn't enough. And me and most of the autistic/Asperger kids I have seen/met aren't shy. We just have trouble with social skills or we just like being alone. Those are completely different from being shy.
Wait, you guys made it seem like the Pooh gang having mental disorders was a bad thing. I don't get it. What's so horrible about them having mental disorders? I actually take a bit of comfort in such a theory because it just gives me and who knows how many other people just that much more delight in watching these characters on all their adventures. What I mean to say is that I actually do have a mental disorder myself. I'm autistic, diagnosed with Asperger. It doesn't apply to everyone who has the same disorder, but mine makes it difficult for me to learn academically in the normal learning technique and even got me into quite a bit of trouble in elementary school because I had such problems learning unlike the other kids. I'm also a lot less active and social than others. But I still have my own strengths that have been able to take me pretty far in life. Even though it doesn't seem like any of the Pooh characters have autism, I find it comforting to know that some of my favorite childhood friends and even heroes may be disordered like me and that just makes me e able to relate more to them and hope that one day I can have my own fun adventures like them. Besides, whoever said being mentally disordered was a bad thing? In my opinion, being disordered doesn't make you weak or worthless. It just proves how much stronger you are compared to someone who is "normal", just as long as you don't give up!
Write a book people like you need to express thier opinion in order to have change maybe you are right or wrong I may not know you but thanks for making my day and making it where fasd is no big deal
I actually did write a book! It's a children's book about autism. It's called The Puzzle: Story of Autism, if you wanna check it out.
a lot of people say Roo was actually autistic :)
NO ONE EVER LET DAN HOWELL WATCH THIS
Why? Does he have schizophrenia?
+ATTACKONKITTENS no it's he grew up watching Winnie the Pooh and it's such a big part of him. Like he even used to talk the Winnie the Pooh, he said it in one of his videos
+cupkate o I thought he heard voices or something
+cupkate HE'S TOO PRECIOUS TO KNOW
Shit, now I want him to see this---
At least they're not all in a coma.
TRUE.
Or in purgatory.
or related
Stab me
Or Gaben
Sadly, I just can't believe the part about Christopher Robin. He's a young boy, and has anyone heard of...I don't know, IMAGINATION?! Every child imagines their toys being alive and interacting with them or each other! It's a natural part of growing up and subconsciously learning about the world and themselves!
Not to mention a lot of these are likely the kinds of characters a young child would come up with because they can't come up with anything more complex. Some of the characters may come off as having disorders, but that's only because they're all totally one-dimensional from the creation of a kid who can't devise anything deeper.
+gurvmlk I totally agree, good sir! Well done, I never thought of that before.
Dude there is something wrong with me because I never imagined my toys being alive even thought I have pretty active imagination
+Nja a No, no! There's nothing wrong with you! I may have overestimated it by saying "every child". Of course there's always gonna be exemptions. That doesn't make you weird. Children can use their imaginations differently. The most important thing is that you use it. You're just the way you are, and you're just perfect the way you are.
ty m8
I'm more convinced about the explanation offered by some of the commenters below, that rather than a mental disorder, each of the character represents Christopher Robin's own emotion. I mean, all of it happened inside his head, so everything is basically Christopher Robin's imagination.
Easily among the best cartoon conspiracies ever made.
Thanks!!
I politely beg to differ, as someone who struggles with ADHD
@@melonlord4889 i dont get your point. it is pretty clever.
@@melonlord4889 ok..........but the conspiracy is still pretty cool
I think we need more charthers to have mental disorders/illnesses it will help kids with them connect to the charthers and teach others about how difficult it can be as some one with high functioning autism I know how hard it can be because I have been around people who have had the misfortune to be worst then me and realised it is tuff
And I have related to many charthers
I know he isn't officially aurtistic but Sheldon
From The Big Bang Theory has many traits to someone like me
I see what you mean, I don't 100% know what it's like to have autism, seeing as only my twin brother has autism, but I can definitely see some traits of autism in some characters I have grown up with.
yes, I totally agree. I'm autistic too and seeing characters who have similar traits is so great because I feel like I can relate to them better. honestly it would be great to see more autistic characters in shows where they actually say they are autistic, instead of us having to guess that they are
Yeah, I actually have anxiety and depression. But I too feel like they are characters to relate to, to feel like I'm not the only one who goes through them.
The Godless-Nerd *characters ...
a very great interesting theory. but what makes it a theory is that, it has a flaw. cartoon characters are very abnormal and crazy in their own ways. im sure we dont question why tom the cat is always trying to murder jerry the mouse. no ones really complaining how spongebob and patrick lack education or common sense. no ones mad about how candace from phineas and ferb was always angry and on edge. so i dont think the creator of whinnie the pooh had intentions to make the characters represent disorders
Wait, so the only reason you didn't give this theory a perfect score was because the creator of the series isn't alive anymore? I don't think that sort of thing should have any effect on your scoring.
I hate that too.
They don't know that some of them will lie just to hide a secret.
The main guy at nintendo had to remake a game just to change one part that was obvious. He wanted to remove every hint that Luigi was married with Peach and that her girl was the Princess in a green dress.
You can't even find this version no more unless you order it on ebay or something.
I'm more concerned they almost did give a perfect score.
well, you can't give a conspiracy a perfect score if you don't have proof, which is confirmation from the creator in this case.
Well for it to be a perfect score the theory would have to undoubtedly be 100% true. How can they say this theory is definitely true without any actual proof? The Spongebob theory was 100% true, because they had proof for it, this is just something a fan of Winnie the Pooh thought up, which cannot ever be proven.
Here is a conspiracy of my own: Does Caillou have CANCER?!?!
I think that Caillou has cancer and that is the reason he is bald.
Caillou's parents have always been very protective of Caillou, and that is because they want him safe until he eventually kicks the bucket.
No one in the show refrences the he has cancer because they don't want to upset him and let him know that he is dying.
All of Caillou's Adventures are in his head, he creates friends in his mind to keep him company until he eventually meets his death.
Let me know what you think and please make this an episode of Cartoon Conspiracy.
I think you're reaching.
-I watched caillou as a kid and his friends are no imaginary friends. He found them all in a logical way.
.The ginger was a bully at first and he ended up becoming the friend of caillou.Why the hell caillou would imagine himself with a bully friend when that's the thing that all kids hate?
.The tall ginger guy was the Rival of Caillou because he was older and better than him in every sport. Caillou was jalous of that and since he met him, he kept on trying hard to surpass him. IF you can't understand rivalry as a kid, then il just assume that you never was a kid before.
.He also met an older friend who teach both Caillou and the ginger how to swear on the birds. Caillou and the Ginger used that knowledge on the Clementine(the black little girl) at first. Kids either learn from TV or from older friends how to be disrespectful and insulting others with words that no one want to hear so that's perfectly logical and they don't realize how it can affect them spiritually.
When Caillou meets new friends, he learns new stuff from them, new ways. This clearly prove that they are not imaginary.
Other than that,
-His parent's are nothing special when you compare them with other parents and the way they protect their child.
-Also, Caillou's parent pay even more attention for Muslin if you never noticed so this right there killed your whole theory.
I did 0 research, i used to watch caillout on TV, that's all.
First off, why does your theory have to say he is dying? Can't you just be optimist and say they're hoping for a cure? Secondly, a lot of children and people do beat cancer. Patch Adams, 5o/50, the TV show parenthood. I recently saw the real girl who had cancer from Patch Adams. She thankfully is doing well now. And that great film 50/50 will tell to all about it. Thirdly him being bald doesn't mean he has cancer anymore than it means Barney being purple means he gay. Charlie Brown and Homer Simpson and Arthur are all bald. They don't have cancer. Also his parents aren't anymore protective of him the other kids on there. I'm sorry if I was rude. I'm just putting in my 2 cents.
Caillou was initially created as a baby of nine months. When it was time for him to get older, the addition of hair made him unrecognizable. So we decided that Caillou would never have any hair, and he went on to become popular as a little boy who is bald. Caillou’s baldness may make him different, but we hope it helps children understand that being different isn’t just okay, it’s normal.
Isabella Rose We? Who is we? Were you part of the team or did you quote what you just said from a developer?
Or maybe the fact that they're all stuffed animals and Christopher Robin is a kid. I hate that doctors feel the need to prod kids making them feel weird for having an imagination. Did I have a disorder for playong with legos? No. I was just playing with legos.
I know, but did you see your Lego's as sentient? Or alive? No, we (I say we because everybody played with Lego) saw them as plastic
GlitchyShadow137 not sentient but when I play with action figures I imagine it happening in my head like I figure most did.
I used to make them talk to each other but I never thought they were alive
GlitchyShadow137 Lots of kids have imaginary friends. It's not really that unusual.
charley starks never watched toy story as a kid?
I personally always knew Eeyore had depression. It was what made him my favorite character. I struggle with depression and I felt I could relate to him.
Honestly, I think this theory is extremely interesting, and I don't think it's damaging my childhood at all. I love to explore the depth of stories and characters I like, even if the theories I have or hear about aren't necessarily true. :)
Oh god... KEEP DAN AWAY! KEEP DAN AWAY!!
Be my friend
hannah mitchell Your profile is enough for us to become the greatest friends ever.
Haha, Yaasss 😂
No we should sweet it to dan until he notices do we can ruin his childhood mwah ha ha ha haaaaa!!!! Jk no
don't u dare (we are talking about Danisnotonfire right?)
Remember, they only exist in Christopher Robin's mind.
+Attmay
I always figured the characters were supposed to be different emotions of Christopher Robin's. Eeyore was his sadness, Pooh his innocence, Piglet his fears, Tigger his excitement, Owl his intelligence, Kanga and Roo his love, etc...
The theory I heard was extremely similar to this one and it's that instead of /having/ mental disorders, the characters /represented/ disorders/problems. That Christopher Robin's father was a psychiatrist and so the little boy knew a lot about such things from his father's "after work" ramblings. Also that his father would teach him about he problems he saw in his patients. Bc of his father being gone for long hours each day and his mother being busy with work, he plays with the toys he has had since he was small. He has retained enough of his fathers ramblings to have a general understanding of some of the problems and he projects them into his stuff animals during pretend. Pooh is actual a representation of "addiction". Piglet is, yes, a representation of anxiety and PTSD. Tigger represents ADHD (i said it was really similar) just as Rabbit is OCD. Eeyore is manic depression as well. Kanga and Roo are codependancy. And Owl is actually just a reflection of his father, whom makes comments about 'misreading' things and 'seeing things wrong'. The reason that Christopher Robin's adventures seem so extremely realistic is because he suffers from Dissociation. His lovable friends are all a connection to his beloved father and when he detaches from reality he comforts himself in these traumatic times by having wild adventures with his stuffed animals. Just thought I would share?
Interesting. So if that one is true is it a touching story rather than a depressed one. Could you tell me if that's what you're saying? I'm trying to see if there is good in it. Even if they were disorders, I have no problems. I have OCD and get depressed. That being in a book would be a good lesson. I just don't know if that was the lesson. So please if you know if this is supposed be a touching meaning or not, I'd like a reply. Thanks
Well my theory is that Owl is just the biggest troll ever... Driving his friends to dangerous missions and not joining them himself. When falling down to the pit with his friends acting like he can't fly up to help them out. Or stealing Eeyore's tail to keep it as a door bell string and pretending not to know where it is even though the friends organize a competition to find it. : D
Dan Howell would die if he saw this
From everything I've read and self examination I think the best diagnosis for the Winnie the Pooh characters are Pooh with Addiction/Eating disorder- binge eating, Tigger with ADHD, Piglet with anxiety,
Rabbit with OCD, Eeyore with depression, Kanga and Roo with MPD, Owl with narcissism, Lumpy with PTSD, Gopher with aspergers, and Christopher Robin with schizophrenia.
Nice job scientists! Now, back to that boring old cure for cancer.
Honestly this just makes the show better for me, because it just makes the show try to relate to all kinds of children.
Wait.....this is a conspiracy? I thought this was just fact.....idk, I think I had a firmer grip on reality as a kid.
I don't like how you guys are treating it like its bad, to me I feel better about the show 'cause it's basically saying there's nothing wrong with having mental illnesses and that you can still have a nice group of friends and shit... It's like they're saying it doesn't matter if you're depressed, schizophrenic, have ocd, adhd, anxiety, they're basically saying your mental illness doesn't define you. (Or that's at least what I'm getting.)
Something about lilo and stitch ?maybe? Pls?
I love Lilo and Stitch! Thanks for the suggestion
On a similar literary note Toad from The Wind In The Willows, was written to have Bipolar Personality Disorder, previously known as Manic Depression. The author wrote the book to help describe to his kids the behaviour of their uncle who had it.
can I make a depressing theory that MIGHT blow your mind??
- what is Christiphor Robin WAS ALL OF THOSE THINGS! and all of this is a dream?! what if all of the characters disorders was a symbol of his own?
but I bet your wondering- what about Kanga and Roo?
what is they symbolise his mother and a possible little brother of his? and he sees her as a sweet and kind loving person?
-Lady Fandoms - out!
fandoms 'n' stuff! I was thinking that too. What if Christopher has all that and acts it out with his stuffed animals
I have a disorder called maladaptive daydreaming disorder and a lot of ppl in that community believe that Christopher has it too, basically creating imaginary words or ppl in thier heads as a coping mechanism to deal with reality loneliness and their own mental disorder. And it makes a lot of sense because I created fictional characters with mental disorders like bipolar depression, adhd, PTSD but I only have depression.
Looking back to fun videos gives me comfort some how.. I hope Emily is doing well, I some how have a soft spot in my heart for her.Her performance made me smile.
In college I did a paper that expanded on this, not only did I do the Pooh characters but I also did sever al DC and marvel Characters, and a few other childhood cartoon characters. Needless to say I ruined a lot of people's childhoods
Interesting!
Which DC and Marvel characters did you do ? This sounds like a really interesting thing you had to research.
simone robson I agree. I'd like to read this.
Considering the fact that Winnie the Pooh was written by a loving father for his son, Christopher Robin, about the toys in his room, I wouldn't believe that he would make his son have Schizophrenia. The others hold up but it doesn't change much. Disney's own stories which get referenced here, probably due to it being about cartoons, seem to lose the jokes put into the books. Owl was always the cleverest and knew a great deal of things which everyone else didn't know, even Rabbit, I think Disney changed some of the characters when they made the feature length stories and so the Disney versions of the characters may have the disorders but for the original characters that A A Milne wrote I think they each had their personalities assigned to make each of them unique.
Didn't Pooh have autism in the original theory?
I think so
Kirby the Fedora I would say that or I've seen eating disorder.
That makes more sense then article they found as Pooh is to calm for ADHD.
I think it was aspergers or ADD
No the original was that pooh has a binge eating disorder and Roo had autism
I assumed all the characters balanced each other out and in term were metaphors for the complete personality of Christopher Robin. Example Pooh is very unorganised yet Rabbit is the other way round or Ee-or is depressed yet Tigger is super positive
I believe disorders like autism, ADHD, OCD, ect are real, they make some people's lives terrible and can be devastating.
I also feel that doctors misdiagnose kids for having disorders when really they are just being kids. I think doctors use these serious mental problems as means to prescribe drugs and make money. There are times when a kid is being a kid and doesn't need drugs to make him or her "normal".
Well u cant take drugs for autism anyways
I am going to throw this out there. I might be a bit late on this one, but what if Christopher Robin is autistic? Every single one of the problems that each of his friends has can also be found in most autistic people. I myself have ADHD, OCD, had trouble reading, and have had to deal with depression brought on by social anxiety. Recklessness and impulse control are also problems that often appear in the stage of development that Christopher Robin is in. This play therapy could be Christopher Robin's way of coping with the world. By giving his stuffed animals traits that he himself has he is able to better deal with them.
I have ADHD.
I love these, they make my day, but at the same time I feel my childhood slipping away bit by bit haha
I though pooh would have an eating disorder
I'm pretty sure he has binge eating disorder.
+Bethany Herman he is a fucking bear. Did you expect him to have a single olive and be full?
+ultimateworkouttactics I was just referring to something I read, no need to be a bitch.
+Bethany Herman u right babe
*****
just admit you're wrong.
I think the creator meant for all the characters to be a little messed up. the whole point of the show is that everyone is a little messed up and can be diagnosed with some kind of mental disorder. but any good kids show teaches you things, and Winnie the Pooh teaches how people with all these disorders coexist and interact.
You know when the society of man starts to go downhill when scientists and doctors use their college degree, which no doubt have taken years and huge amounts of dollars to obtain, to diagnose mental disorders of FICTIONAL characters from a fucking CHILDREN'S CARTOON. Money well spent, guys!
I heard that a scientist analysed ALL James Bond littreature and found out he would been an alcaholic in real life. It is debeatable if it was time well spent.
Quote _ I'm kinda not sure what you're getting at. Are you talking about James Bond himself or the author/creator of James Bond was an alcoholic? Either way, I still think it's a waste of time to be analyzing such things if there's no point or need to analyze them. Then again, that doesn't mean they shouldn't do it, everyone has their own opinions and things they want to focus on, but all I can say is just WHYYY? Considering that one of James Bond's most famous line's is "shaken, not stirred" and he often known for drinking alcohol , it's a bit of a no brainer. You don't need a scientist to tell you that much. But I digress.
I'm not saying that such things should never be studied or speculated by the masses and fans, because it's a fun thing to wonder about and there are some stories that are purposely created to have a air of mystery to them. But the fact that actual SCIENTISTS come in and take an innocent kid's cartoon and turn it into a mental hospital filled with disorder-ridden patients seems just a bit extreme to me. Not only that, I didn't like the way that it's being portrayed here, as if having these disorders where an abomination of nature. It just seems a bit insulting to the people that have these problems and to the fans of adults and children alike who enjoy watching the show.
***** I talking about the carakter James Bond, not the creator. And I agree that over-analyzing a cartoon is stupid.
Quote _ Ah, ok. That's what I figured. And yeah, that is. lol
I agree with you there, although i'm fairly certain that diagnosing the characters probably didn't cost them anything and took maybe twenty minutes at most. I mean these conditions all have fairly obvious symptoms that fit the animals perfectly. although I probably would have written pooh off as just A.D.D.
I think that Pooh and Tigger are both ADHD, with Pooh representing the Attention Deficit side (Lust for honey, disconnection from outside word, constant cravings, ect.) and Tigger being the Hyperactive side (He literally bounces off of walls. He also talks fast.)
Damn, these lesbians are beautiful!
it goes
pooh : eating disorder / depression
piglet : anxiety / low self esteem
eeyore : depression
rabbit : ocd / anxiety
owl : narcissistic personality disorder/ alzheimers
tigger: bipolar/adhd
roo: a.d.d.
gopher: ocd
lumpy: ptsd
Christopher robin: schizophrenia
they are still finding more to this day and the list keeps growing
i forgot about owl also being dyslexic
so you were wrong about roo as well as lumpy the heffalump they both have disorders but ill give you credit because kanga is the only normal one
well now i just did a bit more research i found out that kanga actually has social anxiety meaning that in public she tends to freak out a bit which can be represented by the fact she is alittle too overprotective with roo
+Andrew Valenti seriously pooh doesn't have depression where are you getting this from
I never watched Winnie the Pooh. But I knew about the conspiracy and it really does’t change my thoughts on the show. I have social anxiety, depression, a real low self-esteem, and I used to have a small eating disorder(basically eating two pieces of bread a day) and I have panic attacks.
I don't think those really count as mental disorders. They're just personality traits, like any good characters need to have. Even though there are some legit points, Piglet in "Piglet's Big Movie" had to overcome his fears to save Pooh from falling down a waterfall. It never says in any of the movies that it's Christopher Robin who's personally imagining all of this. And if he is, who says it can't be all a dream? Or is there some sort of disorder for having dreams too?
I have Dyslexia, but I'm in advance classes. I also have Depression, Anxiety, and OCD. so dealing with these; I think that who ever came up with this doesn't know much about mental disorders. Plus I'm pretty sure Dyslexia is a learning disability, not a mental one.
I feel like Pooh has an eating disorder- not ANY of those other diseases. (and yes, and eating disorder doesn't have to be anorexia [a.k.a. not eating] or bulimia [a.k.a.Throwing up/purging] it can be things like eating your feelings as Pooh clearly does) As for the other characters, everything seems to be in order. I'm completely on board with this theory.
This made me cry. I have A.D.H.D. And depression, I make great grades and have good friends. I often volunteer and donate what I can to charity. some "troubled youth" huh.
Rabbit doesn't have OCD, he has OCPD
It's possible for the animals to have those disorders, but we know that Christopher Robin wasn't schizophrenic because in the original book, you'll see that all of his adventures with his stuffed friends were told to him as stories by his father, the author.
It’s obvious that Pooh has a binge eating disorder too
Okay so my mom was friends with a close relative of the creator in high school and apparently the "disorders" are just WAY over dramatized emotions, or at least thats what they creators relative said... (Sorry i forget some names)
POOH: happy
TIGER: excited
PIGLET: scared
EOR: sad
RABBIT: neatness (okay not an emotion but you get it)
OWL: smartness/pride (also not an emotion)
Big kangaroo (XD): motherly/caring (also idk about emotion)
Baby kangaroo: childishness
See, just emotion type things, sorry if i forgot some people, i only watched it when i was very young :p
Narrator: But what Martin did not know, is that when he clicked on this video, His childhood would be ruined forever...
POOH BEAR is the representation of Taoism, and the fact that the medical studies was conducted makes this more ironic. Taoism is the ultimate state of "not giving a f*** and just be one with nature" The fact is Pooh is like a child doesn't think very much, but he is also carefree, and teens and adults envy him not caring when shit goes down. We all want to be in the state of "Pooh" but you might ask what about the other characters. Yeah whatabout Eeyore, rabbit, owl, and tiger. They're all the excessive characteristics of how not to reach taosism. Eeyore believes things are hopeless before event trying, believing everything is a lost cause.Rabbit is OCD because he is like the adverage adult stressing over every little thing and can't focus on the everything's in life. Owl is stupid, he tries soooooooooo hard to act smart, but he actually isn't very. Tigerr is hyper active because he is reckless, and doesn't go with the flow, if he wanted to fly he will try to go against all odds to achieve it, not matter how impossible. That's why Pooh is just perfect, because he's the epitome of spiritual enlightment, and we envy him.
Maybe Tigger just has too much coffee every morning.
Bears aren't known for not having impulse control.
The way I see this is a series or stories to help kids learn empathy and patience for others with these disorders, and to give kids with these disorders someone to both associate with and to some degree look up too, as even though they all have disorders the characters are all good, caring, and look out for each other. I know a child therapist who specifically uses whinnie the Pooh and Inside Out to help kids and parents cope and understand their own disorders.
My theory on Winnie The Pooh is that each character makes up a part of Christopher Robbins. Such as tigger is his bravery and adventurous part of him. Kanga is like his mother figure loving and over protective and roo is the little brother he always wanted but never had. Eyor is the part of him that doubts things and represents his sadness. Rabbit is the part of him that needs control in his life. Piglet is the part of him that worries about everything way to much. Owl is the prt of him that wants to be smart. Pooh represents one of three things either his personality as a whole, his best friend, or his childish playfulness
That little jingle in the beginning is priceless.
Actaully, its Tigger that says that "Falling on the jagged rocks below is no different than (pause as he thinks) tumbling out of bed!"
At this point Piglet becomes hopeful (he's tuck on the top of his tree)
But then Tigger adds "except for the splat at the end"
So no, piglet did not compare fallling out of bed to tumbling onto jagged rocks, Tigger did, and he compared fallling on rocks to falling out of bed as a way to comfort, not scare.
I don't think you should feel depressed about this diagnosis. One of the wonderful facets of Winnie the Pooh is how all these characters with their individual struggles and problems can come together and support one another.
That makes so much sense. I grew up with Winnie the pooh . I have now suicide thoughts, depression anxiety, and eating to much . But I go to therapy in getting better
I've heard this one before, and was actually just thinking about it earlier today, and as I thought about it I came to the conclusion that rabbit does not have OCD he's just really tidy, and you can see this just in the way he gives in. While he does try to hide his things to keep them neat and well stalked he doesn't freak out when they inevitably find it, he just lectures them slightly and moves on something very few with OCD would be able to do.
emily, you asked what is happening to your childhood, and i say, IT DIED!
I heard another theory that Pooh had bulimia or just any eating disorder because he only eats honey and would do anything to get it. Also that Owl has narcissism because he always says how brilliant and smart he is
FINALLY!!! A CONSPIRACY THAT HOLDS UP!!! Every-other it's these characters are dead or based on real people that are dead.
And so what if may be true, name someone that isn't even a bit quirky and is perfect.
These are fun, I subscribed over the summer and although I haven't admittedly watched all of these cartoons, this one was one of my favorites as a kid. I had heard of this theory before and I can't remember where I first heard of it but the version I heard was a little different: Some of the characters were meant to represent different mood extremes or different aspects of Christopher's psyche. This kinda made the theory seem more balanced and also gave Christopher more depth, considering that all the other characters are just part of his own imagination... Although, this does make him seem a little schizo I suppose but kids tend to have pretty vivid imaginations.
I have no idea why but out of all the conspiracies in this show this one made me the most saddest . I think maybe it's the fact that they all have horrible disorders and they were all from my childhood
a gang of troubled youths? I have adhd and anxiety and that doesn't make me a trouble maker!
Pooh - ADHD, OCD, Eating disorders
Piglet - anxiety
Eeore - depression
Tigger - ADHD
Rabbit - OCD
Owl - dyslexia
Christopher Robin - schizophrenia
Kanga + roo - just normal
I am going to say something now. Having a disorder is not to be glorified, and listen to the reasons why. First off, there is a big difference between romanticizing an illness and being accepting of it. For instance, many people believe that having depression or anxiety is 'cute' or 'cool', when in actuality it can be debilitating for people, and will only serve to belittle a person's actual problem when it is seen as something to take pride in. However, you should also never feel like a lesser person because of your illness either, as it does not make you any less of a person.
Second, glorification of mental illnesses can and have been known, to lead to severe and negative repercussions. This is something that should be obvious, but, sadly, it is not. If someone goes around stating how cool it is to have depression, or how cute anxiety is, all you do it belittle those who suffer because of it. You create a general consensus that the problem isn't actually one because it is something 'cool'. A person could be seriously considering taking their lives, and not be taken seriously because others have been taught that 'depression is cool and everyone has it, so it's okay not to take someone seriously when they tell you about it'. It makes it seem so common that you can treat a threat of suicide as a joke. No matter what, if you speak of committing suicide or self harm, there is an issue. It should never be seen as something that is a trend, and it is sickening to see so many people state that they're 'proud' to have a disease. It is not a source of pride, but also not as a source of shame. People with an illness are just that: people. No more, and no less.
I agree with everything about Tigger having ADHD, Rabbit having OCD, Eeyore (obviously) having depression, and Piglet having anxiety. But Christopher Robin having schizophrenia just seems dumb? I think maybe the creator pulled the personalities from the stuffed animal from mental disorders, but I doubt he just decided to write up a child who hallucinates adventures with his teddy bears. I think Christopher Robin's character is just a little kid who imagined playing with his toys. It just seems ridiculous to write up a little kid with schizophrenia for a childrens show. Especially the reasoning, because all little kids imagine playing/going on adventures with their toys.
my continuation of the theory= criss robin is in an asylum because of hallucinations, and is imagining his friends as weird looking animals. kanga is a therapist, and roo is a young coworker, that kanga feels like protecting because... ya know... crazy people. you could make the argument that ocd and dyslexia don't belong in asylums, but criss probably sees the more serious disorders as normal, and doesn't include them in his hallucinations because he thinks of them as negative personality traits, and all the hallucinations are idealized views of his life.
I have OCD, ADHD, and ADD. If this is conspiracy is real, I think we should just except it. Life is tough for me and many others with these conditions.
The tough ones are pooh and owl. The others are pretty obvious. When it was written, it would make sense pooh was just meant to be simple-minded in the old sense. Owl is narcissistic and uncaring as well as illiterate, Tigger is hyperactive, rabbit is angry and obsessive, piglet is tense and hysterical, eaore has bad mood and is depressive. Christopher sees things that arent there. Kanga is an overprotective mother and roo is infantilized forever a child.
All of these things existed 150 years ago and had been identified we just call them different things now.
I still think it makes more sense that they embody the extremes of Christopher’s personality as its his imagination that created them.
I would say that Pooh seems more like he has Binge Eating Disorder (not to be confused with Bulimia). Also, here's a thought: What if, the whole show actually takes place in an psychiatric clinic? (In Christopher Robin's mind it's the Hundred Acre Wood). If this is the case, then Kanga could be the doctor that runs the facility and Roo could be her son who keeps on slipping in and playing with the patients.
Pooh- Bulimia
Piglet- Generalized Anxiety
Eeyore- Depression
Rabbit- OCD
Tigger- ADHD
Kanga- Social Anxiety
Roo- Autism
Owl- Dyslexia
Christopher Robin- Schizophrenia
I don't think this is ruining someone's childhood. Mental disorders are very common and having characters represent them can help some people. For example the character piglet has kinda helped me with my anxiety in some ways. I think that if this theory is true it is a really nice way to make the characters more relatable and can help some people.
THE KID: was just a normal kid, maybe a bit excited ;)
ChannelFrederator, I've always wondered, if Pooh is a stuffed bear, where does all the honey he eats go? I have a theory. First off, I'm assuming that Christopher Robin's friends are part of his imagined world. So with that in mind, I think Christopher Robin (consciously or unconsciously) made it so Pooh bear can't ever have the feeling of a full stomach. That's part of the reason why he has such an obsession with honey. He's never able to get enough of it because Christopher Robin made it that way. And if Christopher is projecting such a problem onto one of his stuffed friends, then it must be an issue that he has seen or dealt with in his everyday life at home.
This brings me to my other theory. I think Christopher Robin's family members have these problems and since he's had to live with them and have them be a constant presence in his life, their mental health disorders have seeped into his 100 acre world and influenced Christopher to project those behaviors onto his stuffed friends. In the 100 acre woods, these problems are presented as an adventure instead of the ever real nightmare that he sees at home.
i thought roo had autism and his mom had social anxiety and was liked scared to let roo go out and stuff
As a child, I was nicknamed Tigger as I have ADHD, but this was WELL before I got diagnosed with ADHD, but this was kind of the big hint to me having ADHD
It was also said that roo has autism because of his lack of understanding or danger and kanga has separation anxiety and possible PTSD due to her worrying and protectiveness of Roo. Also pooh has an eating disorder
I think winnie has addiction. Because he always wants honey and can't live without it
There goes my childhood. Jumped out my window and flew away before I finished the video.
Being honest about people and the world around our children is not harmful. It's preparing them for the world they will be navigating as an adult.
I always thought they just portrayed different emotions. Pooh = Calm, Tigger = Happy, Eeyore = Sad, Piglet = afraid, Rabbit = Angry
Yeah its almost conformed that they are just emotions, read my earlier comment
Tigger seems to be the only one who lines up. Piglet is just scared because he's a piglet and Christopher Robin is just a kid playing with his toys. Eeyore could suffer from depression or he could just be that way so that Christopher Robin always has the opportunity to say "why the long face?" It seems that Christopher Robin just based their personalities off of what animal they are. They already said that when they compared Pooh to an actual bear. Rabbits move really fast and all over the place and they run away from other animals, which sort of explains his personality. Again, Tigger is the only one who doesn't match up with his animal, being a tiger in this matter. Also, they forgot Gopher.
That damn tiger must be the reason of why I grew up with OCD, i felt so bad for the rabbit.
In my opinion, Roo has autism spectrum disorder and Kanga has post-partum depression. I take comfort in knowing that my friends in Winnie the Pooh had mental disorders. I can relate to Piglet lol!
Owl isn't dyslexic- in fact he's a genius.
He's the only character (including Christopher Robin, in some of the earlier episodes and movies) who can read and write.
However, he's constantly talking about his family. His parents, his uncles, cousins, aunts, grand-parents - Owl had a massive family, but these people are never seen in the show. Another family obsessed animal is Tigger, who is always boasting that 'I'm the only one!' and, in Tigger's Big Movie, goes off to look for other Tiggers. Piglet and Eeyore never mention their families- but isn't it a bit weird that two domestic herd animals would be left in a forest alone? Only rabbit actually has family- and they all only visit rarely.
I think that Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, Tigger, Kanga and Roo all escaped from a local zoo (perhaps with a heffalump.) The native animals all fled the hundred-acre-wood- except Owl, who wanted to study them, and rabbit, who wouldn't leave his garden.
+Cheeseanonioncrisps Now, that's more depressing than Fry's MOM being worried sick over him, or even worse, THIS THEORY!!! Why? Because, if what you said about Christopher Robin is true, then I'm starting to think that maybe he IS a schitsophreniac!!
1:34 scared da hell out of me for no reason
I just have to get this off my chest: This theory was DEPRESSING!!! Although, Owl having dyxlexia is actually a smart choice, in the case of Pooh's Grand Adventure and even the 2011 film of the same name!!
Hey guys! =)
This topic is exactly what I'd like to write about in my term paper this semester. Where did you find all these informations? Is there anything I could use for academic writing?
Thanks for your help and this video!
Figured this on out in Abnormal Psych, however they missed that poo is an Addict (to Honey) which is a better explanation than OCD and I would describe Tigger as more Bipolar 1, Manic Phase.
