Product Description

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, the whole gang is busy preparing a suitably gloomy 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. This whimsical and touching film will bounce right into your heart -- and feet.

Review

This delightful animated movie is based on the characters first brought to life in A.A. Milne's accounts of Winnie the Pooh and his friends. This time, the focus is on the usually irrepressible, and ever-bouncy Tigger. The writing is faithful to Milne's characters, and there are enough twists and subplots to keep the older viewers interested.

The action focuses around Tigger's attempts to find his family and the unforeseen consequences when the other creatures (Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, Owl, Kanga, Roo and Rabbit) try to help. The plot covers issues related to loneliness, family and cooperation, in useful and realistic ways. There are several songs integrated into the movie, in a rather seamless fashion. The animation is high quality and the voices are both creative and humorous. (As an aside, I liked the occasional visual references to books, showing that the basis of the story is a book, not a video, and drawing young viewers into the excitement that books can offer.) This is a strong movie, illustrating the timeless value of attractive characters, strong writing; plot development and interesting animation which supports the script, instead of distracting from the plot. "The Tigger Movie" is generally suitable for young children, with only one sequence (of an avalanche), which might upset the youngest of viewers. A 2000 Parents' Choice® Silver Honor.
