== Adaptations == In 1960, [[His Master's Voice (British record label)|His Master's Voice]] recorded a dramatised version with songs (music by [[Harold Fraser-Simson]]) of two episodes from ''[[The House at Pooh Corner]]'' (Chapters 2 and 8), with [[Penny Morrell]] as Piglet, which was released on a 45rpm EP.<ref>{{cite web |date=July 23, 2010 |title=Ian Carmichael And Full Cast – The House At Pooh Corner – HMV Junior Record Club – UK – 7EG 117 |url=http://www.45cat.com/record/7eg117 |access-date=November 5, 2011 |publisher=45cat}}</ref> ===Disney adaptations=== {{Infobox character | franchise = [[Winnie the Pooh (franchise)|Disney's ''Winnie the Pooh'']] | name = Piglet | image = [[File:Pigletdisney.jpg|Disney's Piglet]] | first = ''[[Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day]]'' (1968) | creator = [[A.A.

According to director [[Wolfgang Reitherman]], Piglet was replaced by [[Gopher (Winnie the Pooh)|Gopher]], which was thought to have a more "folksy, all-American, grass-roots image".<ref>[http://www.pooh-corner.org/general.shtml The Page at Pooh Corner --- General Information] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080612185305/http://www.pooh-corner.org/general.shtml|date=June 12, 2008}}</ref> Many familiar with the classic Milne books protested Disney's decision to exclude Piglet, and Disney relented. Piglet appeared in the next Pooh film, ''[[Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day]]'' (1968). [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]]'s interpretation of Piglet has pink skin and a magenta [[sweater|jumper]]. His fears and nervousness are played up more, 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 afraid. Stories about him tend to revolve around these traits as well as his small size. The Disney version of Piglet is very kindhearted, loves beautiful things like flowers, and prefers keeping things neat and tidy. He sometimes has an inferiority complex, although his friends think highly of him. However, he is often left performing tasks better suited to someone bigger and stronger, such as in several episodes of ''[[The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh]]'' or [[Winnie the Pooh (2011 film)|the 2011 film]]. Piglet can be found at the [[Walt Disney Parks and Resorts]] for meet and greets. He appears less frequently than Pooh, Tigger, and Eeyore, but more than [[Rabbit (Winnie-the-Pooh)|Rabbit]]. Piglet also made a brief cameo in the 1988 movie ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit]]''. He was featured as one of the guests in ''[[House of Mouse]]''. Piglet also makes a cameo appearance in the [[DreamWorks Animation|DreamWorks]] animated film ''[[Bee Movie]]'' along with Pooh; at one point, a man spies Pooh and Piglet eating honey and Barry tells him to "take him out" with a tranquiliser dart. ====Casting history==== [[John Fiedler]] provided the voice for Piglet from 1968 until his death on June 25, 2005, except in ''[[Welcome to Pooh Corner]]'' where [[Phil Baron]] voiced him.<ref name="btva">{{cite web |title=Piglet Voices (Winnie the Pooh) |url=https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/characters/Winnie-the-Pooh/Piglet/ |access-date=May 20, 2025 |publisher=Behind The Voice Actors}} A green check mark indicates that a role has been confirmed using a screenshot (or collage of screenshots) of a title's list of voice actors and their respective characters found in its credits or other reliable sources of information.</ref> [[Travis Oates]] has provided Piglet's voice since Fiedler's death, including in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' and ''[[Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie]]'' in certain scenes that Fiedler was unable to record before his death.<ref name="btva" /><ref>{{Cite web |last=Nunneley-Jackson |first=Stephany |date=November 11, 2018 |title=Kingdom Hearts 3 trailer shows Sora return to the 100 Acre Wood and Winnie the Pooh |url=https://www.vg247.com/kingdom-hearts-3-winnie-the-pooh |access-date=May 20, 2025 |website=VG247 |language=en}}</ref> His first major performance as Piglet was in ''[[My Friends Tigger & Pooh]]''.
