Paul Winchell, voice of Tigger from Disney's Winnie the Pooh series, dies at age 82

Two voice actors for the popular animated characters Tigger and Piglet from Disney’s Winnie the Pooh series died this past weekend.

Paul Winchell, who voiced bouncy Tigger, died on Friday in his sleep. He was 82.

Winchell not only came up with the voice of Tigger, but he also coined Tigger’s catchphrase “TTFN - ta-ta for now!” He first voiced Tigger in Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day.

Winchell also voiced the character of Spider-Man and Gargamel in the Smurfs cartoon series. Winchell hosted some children’s shows, as well. He put his ventriloquism skills to use in Circus Time and The Paul Winchell-Jerry Mahoney Show. He was also an inventor, creating what could be considered precursors to the artificial heart and the disposable razor.

In addition, John Fiedler, voice of shy character Piglet from Disney's Winnie the Pooh series, died on Saturday: John Fiedler, voice of Piglet from Disney's Winnie the Pooh series, dies at age 80
