Created by A.A. Milne, Eeyore has always been the resident sad sack in Winnie The Pooh’s friend circle, but Brad Garrett is right that the character has a few more up-beat moments in Christopher Robin.
As the stuffy Christopher begins to let his inner-kid out again, it’s something that the little donkey recognizes, and it leads to a wonderful little moment of happiness for the famed depressive.
For example, when Eeyore reunites with his eponymous friend as an adult (played by Ewan McGregor), he is sure that he is actually a Heffalump who is there to eat him, but slowly that attitude begins to change.
