Description:
The paucity of quality family movies available is underscored by the fact that everything about The Tigger Movie screams direct-to-video, yet it has put up some impressive box-office numbers. Its very premise belies Tigger's memorable song, "the most wonderful thing about tiggers is, I'm the only one," as our bouncy, flouncy hero decides, apropos of nothing, that he has family out there, somewhere, and he's determined to find them. Well, a 6-year-old can figure out that in the end, Tigger'll realize his pals in the Hundred Acre Woods are, in fact, his family, and that a locket introduced early on will wind up in little Roo's hands. The animation may be acceptable on the small screen, but looks pretty cheesy by contemporary feature standards, although an avalanche near the end is kind of cool, and the songs, by Disney legends Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman (their first Disney music in nearly 30 years), are virtually tuneless ditties. --David Kronke
