What Happened To The Gopher Character In Winnie The Pooh?

[Noitartst]

He was a DIsney add-on character to the cast, but I haven't seen him since the late-eighties TV show. Copyright issues, somehow?

[B00]

doesn't say what happened to him, but there's a teeny tiny bit of ifno about him here.

It may be nothing more than him being superfluous to any of the plots.

nothing happens to characters who don't appear in shows; they just sit on drawing boards waiting to be used again (unless you specifically see him being run over by a train or something).

Or maybe he needed to gopher a rest.
