Movie Reviews of The Tigger Movie
Movie Review: Tiggerific!
Summary: 5 Stars
A new opening takes us into the storybook where Pooh and his friends live, deep within the Hundred Acre Wood. Here, we find the usual gang, with the exception of Gopher (Why is it that in every Pooh movie after The Many Adventures, someone always has to be left out? Oh well, he's not in the book...), all voiced exceptionally well and mostly drawn with the original charm. Tigger is bouncing around, as usual, singing a longer version of his wonderful theme song, and the story begins.
To sum it up, Tigger, who has always found pride in being "the only one," is starting to feel some of the effects of being an endangered species. As far as he can see, there's no one in the 100 Acre Woods who shares his interests, which are mainly bouncing. All the while, Roo is constantly trying to show Tigger that HE is every bit as bouncy, but Tigger is soon obsessed with the idea of finding his tigger family. He searches through his treehouse, but finds nothing more than an empty locket. Roo suggests Tigger write a letter to his family, and when he does, Roo, Owl, Pooh, Eeyore, and Kanga write him a reply, signing it, "Your Family." Rabbit is too busy preparing for winter to get involved. But the plan to cheer Tigger up backfires immediately. When Tigger recieves his reply, he is suddenly convinced that his family is coming for a visit!
Well, any more info would spoil the movie for you. Let's just say that it is a wonderful film in the spirit of the original Pooh movie. The only part that might not fit is a decidedly flashy and modern sequence where Tigger describes how his family might be. We see Tiggers in the roles of people such as Marilyn Monroe and Jerry Springer. True, that one scene is a bit odd to see in a Pooh movie, but this is in fact "The TIGGER Movie," and Tigger himself IS a bit odd. Anyway, this sequence is soooo entertaining that I wouldn't think of suggesting that it be left out of the film! The music in "The Tigger Movie" was written by the legendary Sherman Brothers, so, of course, it is perfect. When I first saw this film, I was a bit uncomfortable with the modern sound of one of the songs as it played in the credits, but it is a beautiful song nonetheless, even if it was sort of reminiscent of some "Savannah Smiles" seventies type music. It really grows on you. By the way, for anyone who has said otherwise, this animation did NOT look like television quality! It was much better than that! Sure, it was less high tech than the usual stuff we see nowadays, but thank goodness in a Pooh movie! The story was handled very well, and the classic characters were honored far better than in "Pooh's Grand Adventure: the Search for Christopher Robin." That one wasn't horrible, but it shows how much better and more worthy of the big screen "The Tigger Movie" is. This film definitely belongs in everyone's DVD collection, and there are some nice extras on the DVD too. There are two games, the Kenny Loggins music video for the movie, and some other nice items. Nothing as overwhelming as the extras on the "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" DVD, but still nice. If you are a fan of Tigger or Pooh, pick up this movie! One of my favorite parts is when Pooh lulls the bees to sleep! Ha ha! Any Pooh movie is a great hot cocoa on a cold evening experience, especially if you have someone to cuddle with, and "The Tigger Movie" is no exception!
Summary of The Tigger Movie
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.Similar DVD Movies
