Kingdom Hearts

The 100 Acre Wood is an optional world based on the fictional locale of author A. A. Milne and Disney's twenty-second animated feature, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. It is notable in both Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II as a "world within a world" because it is entered through a book in Traverse Town and Hollow Bastion/Radiant Garden, respectively. The world takes the form of a magical book located in Merlin's house. As Sora collects Torn Pages, new areas of the 100 Acre Wood become available as the story is retold. It appears in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and, maybe, in the new Kingdom Hearts Coded of 2009.

When Sora enters the book, he lands on a version of the flat map of the 100 Acre Wood. Classic locations such as Pooh and Piglet's House appear as well as the Muddy Path and Spooky Cave. In each location is usually a minigame with prizes which help Sora on his journey.

100 Acre Woods Characters:

Winnie the Pooh:

Winnie the Pooh, known to his friends as Pooh Bear, is the main character of the Hundred Acre Wood world of Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts II. He is based on his apperance in Disney's Winnie the Pooh franchise. Pooh's role is very unique to the Kingdom Hearts universe, as he lives in a world within a world, whose inhabitants are blissfully unaware of the battles waged outside of their peaceful forest.

Piglet:

Gopher:

Gopher is a resident of the 100 Acre Wood. Though the 100 Acre Wood has been in the previous games, Gopher did not appear until Kingdom Hearts II. He was first met in PIglet's House. Of all residents, he is the only one who literally lives underground, and digs through the ground to make a living. During the Hunny Slider mini-game, Gopher helps by acting as a buffer between Pooh and pieces of wood or other obstacles.

 Tigger:

Tigger is a friend in the 100 Acre Wood. He made his first appearance in Kingdom Hearts, alongside with Roo to train Sora how to "jump", which requires jumping on a specific tree coordinate and reach to the finish line. Tigger mostly uses Rabbit's farm as a jumping spot, therefore ruining his vegetables, much to Rabbit's chagrin.

Tigger's original voice actor, Paul Winchell, was already long retired even before the Kingdom Hearts series was conceptualized and did not reprise the role, all the more in II as he had already died in the time period between the releases of Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II. Tigger is instead voiced in both games by Jim Cummings, his current official voice-actor, who also in the games voices Winnie the Pooh, Pete and others.

Kanga:

Kanga is a character from the 100 Acre Wood world of Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts II. Though her world has been shown in the games, she does not appear until the third installment. She is based on her appearance in Disney's Winnie the Pooh franchise. Kanga is Roo's kangaroo mother, very gentle and a typical mother figure.

When she first appears, she hears from Piglet that Pooh has forgotten everything about his friends and makes a medicine in attempt to restore his memory, but Tigger takes it, thinking it is a present to him. Though they get it back, Pooh never drank the medicine.

Roo:

Roo is Kanga's son. Whenever he goes out with his mother, he goes inside her pouch. Roo, like Tigger loves to bounce.

Roo appears in many of the mini-games in 100 Acre Wood. The games he shows up in are Tigger's Giant Pot, Pooh's Muddy Path, Balloon Bounce, and The Exposition. In Kingdom Hearts, he is a big help in the Bouncing Spot page area where he helps Sora by catapulting him into the trees to get special items or Rare Nuts for Owl and he helps Sora with advice with Tigger's challenges.

Owl:

Owl is one of many animals who live in the 100 Acre Wood. He helps Sora while he is in 100 Acre Wood with advice on mini-games and how to find more Torn Pages.

The wisest resident of the Hundred Acre Wood. Whenever anyone has a question he can't answer, he asks the Owl... though Owl isn't always right! Owl likes to talk, but sometimes he puts his listeners to sleep.

He showed us the wisdom of his ways in "Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree" (1966).

Eeyore:

Eeyore is the character of the Hundred Acre Wood world of Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts II. In the first two games, he doesn't have a voice role, but is voiced by Gregg Berger in the English version and Taro Ishida in the Japanese version of Kingdom Hearts II. He is based on his appearance in Disney's Winnie the Pooh franchise. Eeyore lives in a world within a world, whose inhabitants are blissfully unaware of the battles waged outside of their peaceful forest.

Rabbit:

Rabbit is a character inhabiting the 100 Acre Wood. He spends most of his time gardening and trying to protect his stash of honey from being eaten by Winnie the Pooh.

His house is the host for the Block Tigger minigame in the 100 Acre Wood, whilst the gate at the back of his house is the host for the Veggie Panic minigame (Kingdom Hearts: Re:Chain of Memories).
