Summary: Tigger bounces back a little to strong.
Review: Tigger has been wandering throughout the whole Hundred-Acre Wood in hopes that someone will bounce with him. Unfortunetly, everyone is to busy getting ready for the coming Winter. When Eeyore's house is smashed, everyone pitches in to help. To everyone's (except Roo's) dissapointment, Tigger comes to help. Quite by accident Tigger ruines everything. A very angry Rabbit suggests that Tigger go off and find other Tiggers to bounce with. But Tigger is "The only one" of his kind. Or is he? After Tigger finds an empty locket in his closet, he is sure it belonged to someone in his family .Tigger begins a quest to find his family with Roo at his side. Soon enough, Roo suggests that they all write a letter to Tigger that's from his family. Once the fake letter arrives, Tigger believes that it's really from his family and he supposes they are coming to visit. The gang decides that the only way to make Tigger happy is to get into Tigger costumes and pretened to be Tiggers. Everyone (except Rabbit, who thinks everybody is crazy) arrives at Tigger's house and they all have a ball ,until Roo attempts to do a special bounce that only Tigger can do, and his costume slips off. Dissapointed, Tigger runs away into the fierce blizzard in the dark Winter night.
I found this movie a bit dramatic for a Winnie the Pooh movie. Disney's animation was to complex for this movie. Tigger seems to have gained weight since his last movie appearence in "Pooh's Grand Adventure." I'm very pleased that Disney incorporated Kanga and Roo into the movie though Roo's parts were incredibley dramatic, but Kanga stayed as her goodnatured, motherly self. I think the movie's plot was to sad and depressing. Tigger has lost his bounce. The Hundred-Acre Wood is to gloomy. The script is to much. The idea for Tigger setting out to find his family was a very good idea but Disney took it the wrong way.
The songs were fairly good. Occasionally, some scenes were good like when Pooh, Piglet, and Eeyore try to find Tigger's family in a swamp full of frogs!
If you do get this movie you will notice that Tigger's voice sounds slightly different. This is because Paul Winchell, the original, amazing voice of Tigger, does not reprise his famous role. Jim Cummings, the voice of Winnie the Pooh, learned to create the voice of Tigger and does so in this movie.
The meaning of the movie would be more touching if the drama hadn't been there. I would suggest that your child first see this at age four because of the strong use of drama. Don't get me wrong, I love Disney, but I just think this movie went the wrong way.
I did enjoy the credits. The artwork for the credits was based on the same artwork of E. H. Shepard (The original Winnie the Pooh Illustrator). Disney illustrated scenes from the movie in E. H. Shepard's fashion. A very creative and successfull idea. The song for the credits "Your Heart Will Lead You Home" was very touching. It was written and sung by Kenny Loggins, who also sang "Return To Pooh Corner".
If you don't want this movie, but still want something else with Tigger, Pooh, and the gang, I'd suggest "Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search For Christopher Robin". And if you are looking for something Disney that isn't Winnie the Pooh, try "Beauty and the Beast" or "Alice In Wonderland". And if you want Disney live action try "The Princess Diarys" or "Return To Oz". If you do pick "The Tigger Movie" I hope it is a very enjoyable experience. Bounce away!

Summary: Tiggerific!
Review: To start off, this is a really good movie, staring the one and ONLY Tigger. On a personal note, Tigger is one of my favorite cartoon characters of all time.

The animation in this film is great. The extreme squash and stretch that Disney is famous for is all over this movie. Very nicely executed.

The movie starts off when Tigger starts to notice that he really is the only Tigger. He goes though some of his old junk at home and finds a special locket. Roo tells Tigger that he should write a letter to his family, so Tigger does that and the story beings! All the characters are featured in this film only Tigger is the main focus.

If you're a Tigger or Winnie The Pooh fan, or you enjoy Disney films and you've never seen this film... you MUST see it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A notch above DTV
Review: When I first heard this movie was coming out, my main question was why a theatrical release instead of direct-to-video? Many Disney sequels have gone that route, including the last feature-length Winnie the Pooh film, The Search for Christopher Robin.

The simple fact of the matter is probably that Disney figured they could make more money with a theatrical release (it came out with absolutely no competition for its intended audience). Happily, it's also true that this movie was a step above the usual direct-to-video fare. Most of the animation was uninspired (it's easy to tell there are fewer frames per second than in major Disney theatrical releases), but the scripts and voice acting were actually quite good.

I've been a fan of the Winnie the Pooh stuff for what seems like forever, so it's hard for me NOT to enjoy any of it. But the simple, hearwarming story of Tigger's discovery of himself and how much his friends really care about him just works. Sure, it's a childlike tale, but isn't that the target audience? We're not looking for Citizen Kane when we turn to Winnie the Pooh. We're looking for comfort and support to be who we are. It's a great message for kids, and this movie does a great job of presenting it.

I was a bit trepidatious when I saw that Jim Cummings (the voice of Pooh in all but the original shorts) was taking over for Paul Winchell as the voice of Tigger. Turns out that he does an unbelievable Paul Winchell impression! Very impressive voice acting in this one -- really quite seamless.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Magical Journey Back To The Hundred Acre Woods!
Review: When I was younger, I would watch The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh. Tigger was always my favorite. If you remember the lyrics to his song, he sang a line that said "The Wonderful Thing About Tigers Is I'm The Only One!" Well, he hears of his family tree and he is sure it is in the Hundred Acre woods, so he sets out to find it. But it seems like there is no hope. When his friends dress up like his family to chear him up, he finds out and runs away in the middle of a giant blizzard. Now his friends have to save him. It's a very touching story You'll love no matter what age you are. Buy it today!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tender Friendship
Review: Wonderful production. Esthetically pleasing. Cute story with sweet, heart-warming characters. Depicts tender friendship role models. Offers an up-close look at real-life feelings and interpersonal relationships. Our children loved it and commented: "I love Tigger! He is so funny." "It was sad to find out that Tigger didn't have a family. Then, we found out that all his friends are his family and that is great." "This story is about helping others when they are lonely and sad." Best for ages 2 to 5.
