Piglet is a fictitious character from the A. A. Milne Winnie-the-Pooh book. Piglet is Winnie-the-Pooh's closest friend among all the toys and animals featured in the story. Though he is a "very small animal" who is usually shy, he tries to be brave and sometimes conquers his fears.

In books
Piglet was introduced in the text of Chapter III of Winnie-the-Pooh, although he was shown earlier in one of the illustrations for Chapter II. He also appears in Chapters V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, and X, as well as every chapter from The House at Pooh Corner . Piglet is a good friend of Pooh and is also very close to Christopher Robin and the rest of the main characters.
Like most characters, Piglet is based on one of Christopher Robin Milne's stuffed animals. In the original color version of the Ernest H. Shepard illustration in the Winnie-the-Pooh book, Piglet has pale pink skin and a green jumper. He is smaller than most animals, just a bit taller than Roo. Her voice is described as "shrill".
Piglet's adventures in the first book include hunting Woozles, trying to capture Heffalumps, giving Eeyore a birthday balloon (popping), emulating Roo in an attempt to deceive Kanga, join the Expotition to the North Pole, and get trapped by the flood. In the second book, he helps build a home for Eeyore, meets Tigger, finds Little while stuck in a gravel pit, plays Poohsticks, gets lost in the fog, and helps rescue Pooh and Owl after they are trapped in Owl's fallen home. For his latest achievements, Piglet is the subject of the seven verses of Pooh Song Sincerely that Pooh made for him.
Piglets themselves can read and write, at least well enough for short notes. In the illustration for The House at Pooh Corner , it appears that Piglet spelled his own name "Piglit", even though it was translated as "Piglet" in actual text even when describing his signature. In one chapter, Piglet is referred to as "Henry Pootel" by Christopher Robin, who claims he did not recognize Piglet after he was completely cleansed by Kanga. Eeyore likes to call him "Little Piglet".
Piglet's favorite foods are acorns (or, as the book often says, "straw flakes"). At one point he planted one outside his home, hoping to one day have a useful inventory. He lives in a house on a beech tree in Hundred Acre Wood, next to a sign that says "TRESPASSERS W". An illustration shows that the sign is broken after "W." According to Piglet, it is "short for Trespassers Will, which is short for Trespassers William," which is the name of his grandfather. Then at The House at Pooh Corner, Eeyore mistakenly offered Piglet's house a new home for Owl, after Owl's home exploded. Piglet agrees to let Owl have a house, where Pooh asks Piglet to stay with him and Piglet receives.

Adaptations
In 1960 HMV recorded a dramatized version of the songs (music by Harold Fraser-Simson) from two episodes of The House at Pooh Corner (Chapters 2 and 8), with Penny Morrell as Piglet, which was released on the 45rpm EP.
Disney adaptation
Piglet was originally omitted by Disney in the first Pooh movie, Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree (1966). According to the film's director, Wolfgang Reitherman, Piglet was replaced by Gopher, who is considered to have more "simple, all-American, and deep-rooted images." Many are familiar with Milne's classic books protesting against Disney's decision to exclude Piglet, and Disney relented. Piglet appeared in the next Pooh film, Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day (1968).
Disney's interpretation of Piglet has pink skin and magenta jumper. His fears and nerves are more playable, as he runs and hides when unnecessary and often stutters when nervous. He has a lot of hidden courage and often faces danger to help others, even when scared. The story of him tends to revolve around these traits and their small size.
In the Disney cartoon, Piglet loves beautiful things like flowers, is very kind and obsessed to keep everything neat and tidy. He sometimes has a sense of inferiority, even though his friends are very concerned about it. However, he often leaves a better job for someone bigger and stronger, as in some episodes of New Adventure of Winnie the Pooh or movies of 2011.
Piglet can be found at Walt Disney Parks and Resorts to meet and greet. He appears less frequently than Pooh, Tigger, and Eeyore, but more than a Rabbit. Piglet also made a brief cameo in the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit . She is featured as one of the guests in the House of Mouse. Piglet also made a cameo appearance in the DreamWorks animated film, Bee Movie along with Pooh, at one point, a Pooh spy man and Piglet eating honey and Barry telling him to "take him out" with a child's sedative arrow.

Track history
John Fiedler voted for Piglet from 1968 until his death on June 25, 2005, except at Welcome Pooh Corner where Phil Baron voiced it. Fiedler's last appearance as Piglet's voice is in Heffalump Halloween Pooh Movie. With the exception of voice actor Christopher Robin Bruce Reitherman and Jon Walmsley, Fiedler is the last surviving member of the original sound of Winnie the Pooh.
Travis Oates has voted Piglet since the death of Fielder, including the Kingdom Hearts II and the Heffalump Halloween Pooh Film (only for the latest material as many dialogues are still voiced by Fiedler). His first big show as Piglet was at My Friends Tigger & amp; Pooh . He and Jim Cummings are the only actors returning for 2011's Winnie the Pooh . Piglet was voiced by Nick Mohammed for a live-action movie 2018 Christopher Robin .
Soviet adaptation
In the Soviet Union, the three stories of Winnie-the-Pooh, (written in Russian as "Vinni Pukh ") (Russian: ????? - ???), were made into a trilogy short film by Soyuzmultfilm (directed by Fyodor Khitruk) from 1969 to 1972. In all three Piglet films, renamed Pyatachok (???????) and voiced by Iya Savvina, was Pooh's constant companion, even taking the place of Christopher Robin in a story adapted from Chapter I (about Pooh and the honey tree). Unlike Disney's adaptation, animators do not base their portrayal of characters on Shepard's illustrations, creating a different look.
Influence on popular culture
Te of Piglet written by Benjamin Hoff after the publication The Tao of Pooh . Both of these books feature original images of E. H. Shepard. The Te Piglet specifies Piglet's example of the Taoist concept of "the virtue of the little one." In 1982, while studying at Oxford University as a scholar, columnist and commentator Andrew Sullivan adopted Piglet persona in holding offices at Pooh Sticks Club University as cited in 1987's book "The Oxford Myth".
