Gopher ( Winnie - the - Pooh ) - Wikipedia Gopher ( Winnie - the - Pooh ) Jump to : navigation , search This article needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( December 2009 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Gopher is a typical American animal . Gopher is a fictional grey anthropomorphic gopher , character who first appeared in the 1966 Disney animated film Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree , introducing himself as Samuel J. Gopher . He has a habit of whistling out his sibilant consonants , one of various traits he has in common with the beaver in Lady and the Tramp , by whom he may have been inspired . While he never made appearances in any episodes of Welcome to Pooh Corner , Gopher was fleshed out a bit further in the television series The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh . He is portrayed as generally hard - working , especially in his tunnels ( which he inevitably falls into at least once ) . He does not appear in the original books Winnie the Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner by A.A. Milne until 1966 ( a fact that is regularly pointed out in Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree , when he breaks the fourth wall by saying he 's `` not in the book , y'know '' , also trying to say that he would not be in a phone book ) . Gopher 's voice was originally done by Howard Morris , who retired from the role and was replaced by Michael Gough . Gopher 's most recent appearances were in A Winnie the Pooh Thanksgiving and Winnie the Pooh : A Valentine for You . He also made minor appearances in A Very Merry Pooh Year and appeared in Boo to You Too ! Winnie the Pooh , which was included as part of Pooh 's Heffalump Halloween Movie . To date , this is Gopher 's last appearance in the Winnie the Pooh media line . Gopher does not appear in the 2011 film , Winnie the Pooh . Trivia ( edit ) The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh episode `` Lights Out '' revealed that Gopher has a fear of the dark , although he loses this fear at the end of the episode . Gopher is mentioned in the My Friends Tigger and Pooh episode `` Tigger and Pooh and a Musical Too '' . After Beaver ( a similar character that first appeared in `` Lady and the Tramp '' ) correctly guesses the password to Tigger 's territory of the Hundred Acre Wood , Tigger turns to Pooh and says `` I miss Gopher '' . In the new interactive queue of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh ride at Walt Disney World , Gopher can be seen popping in and out of Rabbit 's garden . Gopher also has a spell card in the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom game , `` Gopher 's Demolition Dynamite . '' Gopher makes a speaking cameo appearance in the Goof Troop ' episode `` Terminal Pete .
