Summary: Your New 5th Movie!
Review: In the classic tradition of Disney's animated feature films, the first Winnie The Pooh theatrical feature in 23 years weaves magical storytelling, charming characters and memorable songs into an enchanting tale of adventure and heart. As it happens, everybody - Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, Roo, Rabbit, Owl - is preparing a suitable winter home for Eeyore. When everything they do seems to get undone by Tigger's exuberant bouncing, Rabbit suggests Tigger go outside and find other Tiggers to bounce with - a notion Tigger finds ridiculous because, after all, he's "the onliest one!" Or is he? And so begins Tigger's amazing journey to find his family.The Tigger Movie is filled with the joy and wonder of what it means to be a family - and that families come in all shapes and sizes. Enriched with seven delightful Pooh songs, this whimsical and touching film will bounce right into your heart - and feet.

Summary: Great for kids, but even better for adults
Review: It's hard for me to begin expressing why I feel this is such a superior film. On one hand, the plot is something I, as a 21-year old male, can easily relate to. In addition, this film has an artistic beauty and quality to it that I haven't experienced since Beauty and the Beast. The Tigger Movie is a captivating, timeless movie-comparable to the NeverEnding Story. It gives us all a glimpse of what it's like to be a child, particularly in terms of innocence and imaginiation. Another quality it shares with the latter film is that the more times you view the movie, the more appeal you realize it has. Tigger is a lonely sort, despite his overconfidence and assertive personality. Something all children, teenagers and especially adults can identify with. His friends, being the ideal group of friends that they are, only mean to help boost his spirits, but unfortunately their intentions are mis-read by Tigger, who sees their masquerading as members of his family to be insensitive (excellent emotional development-something I wouldn't have imagined coming from past viewings of the previous Pooh series). After an emotional exit, he sets off on a quest to find his true family, the sort that bears legitimate resemblence to him. As could be expected, his friends worry about him and eventually go on a search mission for him. What ultimately happens is a revelation for Tigger as he discovers that bonds are made of emotional ties over physical resemblences. In addition to showcasing the ever-popular Tigger, I was pleasently surprised that this film also shows emphasis on some of the previously less-featured characters, in particular Kanga, Owl, and the eternally young Roo. All three characters are voiced and individualized very convincingly. Gopher is, fortunately, nowhere to be seen. The animation here is among the most inspired I've seen, featuring stunning backdrops. Some of the characters look a bit different (especially Rabbit) from what I remember, but overall the animation and artwork is obviously movie-quality, rather than the abysmal video-sequel stuff Disney's been churning out over the last several years. This is a vast improvement, both artistically and plot-wise, over the more recent Pooh animated series and D2V sequels, which gives me hope for more theatrical releases starring these always-refreshing characters. There are so many scenes in this movie that stand out to me. The beginning scene-a panoramic view of the bedroom of Christopher Robin-reminded me of my own childhood belongings. The scene where Kanga speaks to Roo at bedtime reminds me of the innocence I used to have at a young age, and the innocence I think we all tend to overlook or dismiss as "immaturity", when in fact it seems we'd all be better off retaining it. The obvious excitement Tigger has upon seeing his *masqueraded* "family", and the crushed blow it deals to his emotional high when it's revealed it was all an act, however well-meaning. Such a magnifently produced film, full of scenes that are filled with relevancy instead of pop-culture one-liners and sidekick-stealing shenanigans. All in all, this is a tremendous movie. It's a perfect movie to suit whatever your mood is, whether depressed, sad, neutral, happy, etc-with friends, family, or by yourself. It's a timeless film about hope, love, and above all else, being a true friend. What more could a person ask for? Highest recommendation for anyone of ANY age.

Summary: What happened to the voices
Review: None of the voices of the characters sound the same as when I was a kid. I just wanted to get that out of the way first. I thought it was a good children's movie and was very glad that it was released in theatres. That makes it a genuine movie unlike those that are made for video.

Summary: Tigger Can Jump High for a Tiger
Review: Okay, here's a rundown of what The Tigger Movie has to offer for teens who are trying to look cool so their friends won't totally hate them: 1. There's one interesting song number where Tigger talks about his family. You see all kinds of Tiggers, from a Jerry Springer Tigger to a Marilyn Monroe Tigger. It's pretty interesting. 2. The movie can be campy sometimes if you're in the mood. 3. If you play the guitar, try playing that simple guitar picking that's found in the movie and impress your little sister. 4. It'll make you appreciate good, family films like Fargo and Bringing Out the Dead. Go buy them so Amazon can make some money. Well, that's it. I wouldn't compare it to Disney's Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, etc., but for the wee kids, it's not bad. The songs aren't really memorable, but look at the bright side: that means they won't be stuck in your head!

Summary: The Silly thing about Tiggers
Review: One of the most funniest movies for a Pooh fan. After seeing Piglet's Big Movie, I felt like seeing this movie now. It was totally awsome. I like the part when Tigger's friends were dressed up as they were Tigger's family. My other favorite part is when Tigger was giving something to Roo and called him his brother. It shows how people should get another chance even though if they don't deserve it. It also shows good relationships and how everyone is diffrent. This whole world can't be bouncy as a kangaroo or like Tigger.

Summary: A standout children's DVD
Review: Sitting on the couch with my 2 year old son, I've become something of a connoisseur of children's movies at this point. To be blunt, most of the modern "Pooh" films from Disney are pretty much garbage. The Piglet and Roo movies are especially painful, and got tossed out after about 1/2 a viewing each. In both of those, the characters are just being yanked and shoved through the motions by a giant, souless marketing machine that is determined to squeeze yet more cash out of them, even if it has to kill them in the process. This "Tigger Movie" is different though. Again and again I found that it moved me to tears, and the story, animation and writing all hit home, almost like they were created by people who actually cared deeply about what they were doing. So far, it's the only one of the modern Pooh films I've seen that captures much of the original Disney/A.A. Milne magic. My son loves it too.

Summary: Classic Disney Characters Fail To Dazzle
Review: Tepid, dull Pooh movie that not only bored me but depressed me. One has to feel somewhat bad for Tigger and his lonely life as portrayed in the film. Even the songs are lackluster, all sounding very much like eachother with no real effect on the movie. Still the characters are cute and kids will probably like it. But in my opinion our kids deserve better entertainment.

Summary: Tigger and his friends are back.
Review: The Tigger Movie brings back the gang. But Tigger is now voiced by Jim Cummings (Who stills plays Winnie The Pooh). And it seems that Tigger does or doesn't have a family like his best friend Roo (voiced by Nikita Hopkins). But Tigger doesn't know that his pals is his family. And this time Tigger wishes that he has a Tigger family. But he is the only one? Or is he? So Tigger decides to find his family. And he brings his problem to the bird named Owl (Andre Stojka). Owl starts one of his family stories that he is famous for. This is right after a rock gets on gloomy Eeyore's (Peter Cullen) house of sticks. And Rabbit (Ken Sansom) comes up with a plan to remove the rock from Eeyore's home. And calls it, "Rabbit's Rock Remover". And Tigger shows up and gets it off by bouncing. And ruins Rabbit's plan. And Roo askes Tigger if he had a family out there. So Owl suggets that Tigger looks up his family tree. Winnie the Pooh, Piglet (John Fiedler), and Eeyore joins in on Tigger's and Roo's search for Tigger' family.

Summary: A good story....but is it Pooh?
Review: The Tigger movie is good harmless family fun. Something felt a little out of place in this little story though. I think my feelings can best be expressed by these two verses from Kenny Loggins song House on Pooh Corner. christopher robin and i walked along as the branches lit up by the moon posing our questions to owl and eyore as our days disappeared all too soon but i wandered much farther today than i should and i can't seem to find my way back to the woods so help me if you can i've got to get back to the house at pooh corner by one you'd be surprised there's so much to be done count all the bees in the hive chase all the clouds from the sky back to the days of christopher robin and pooh This is a tough review for me to write as I don't want to offend the people who liked this film. While I think it was a good story, I think it forgot its place. I would love to say The Tigger Movie is full of rouncy trouncy pouncy fun fun fun fun fun. But in spite of all the smiles on the cover. I was a little surprised to see Tigger spending most of the film in a blue funk and wrestling with some heavy duty family issues. Tigger being a little too much fun for the others is advised to go find someone who likes to bounce. Tigger goes out looking for someone like himself. Gone for days, Tigger returns disappointed. Hearing about how everyone has a "family tree" Tigger takes it literally and writes a letter addressed to his tree. Noticing how profoundly disturbed Tigger was getting waiting for a response, Roo gets everyone in on writing Tigger a phony letter from his family. The letter snaps Tigger out of his anxious state and begins planning a huge party. Tigger is totally invested in his excitement of having his bouncy family there. Uh oh, bigger trouble. The only way to maintain the illusion is for his friends to dress in Tigger outfits. The outfits are cute but one falls off and Tigger freaks out. He becomes very upset at having been betrayed and having his illusions dashed. Tigger now refuses to accept that he doesn't have a family goes of on a quixotic quest to find his family tree. Eventually he is overwhelmed by a terrible blizzard, but spots a barren tree he thinks must be his. Of course it is not really a tigger tree but Tigger convinces himself they must be on vacation and sits alone in the cold, warming himself with his delusion. Meanwhile everyone in the 100 acre woods are concerned about Tigger being out in the storm. Bravely they hunt him down and plead for him to come down from the tree. Clinging to the false hope of a returning tigger family and still angry and embittered he shouts "NOOOOOO!" with such force that he creates a snow avalanche. This disaster snaps him out of his delusion and eventually Tigger realizes that its really his friends who are his family and having a real family is not so important. Tigger fortunately becomes his old self again. But while watching the film I was saying to myself..."Wow, Tigger is having some real heavy duty psychological issues." Tigger is struggling with the idea of not being accepted for who he is, family abandonment, and has became obsessively delusional because he is unable to cope." For me it was a strange choice to have a character in a Pooh story to be spend 90 minutes trying to fill a psychological void in his personality. What a departure from the simple Tigger who only loved to bounce and tell the world how unique he was. I was not sure I wanted to see a Tigger who can become brooding and enraged and I would rather remember him as the simple joyful expression he was. Everything about the world of Pooh is uncomplicated. And in the world of cartoons, Poohs gentle emotional simplicity made it unique. I think children will (and do) find the movie entertaining. Yet I wonder if we ever will be able to find our way back to the 100 acre woods where the biggest problems were helping Eeyore find his tail, or watching Pooh struggling to remove his nose from a Hunny jar.
