Summary: 4 Stars
The Tigger Movie is one hour and eighteen minutes long and was released in theaters on February 11, 2000. The movie starts off with Tigger bouncing around the Hundred-Acre-Woods and in doing so bothers some of his friends with his bouncing. When Tigger bounces off a rock, the rock lands on Eeyore's home and smashes it. Rabbit has come up with a plan to fix Eeyore's home. Tigger show up and does his Whoopty-Dooper-Loopty-Looper-Alley-Ooper bounce. Tigger had good intentions, but his Whoopty-Dooper-Loopty-Looper-Alley-Ooper bounce send everybody into a mud pit and they wind up getting covered in mud. This gets everyone upset saying the reason they don't with Tigger is because they are not tiggers. Tigger leaves his friends felling a little down on himself and Roo find Tigger and tries to cheer him up. Roo asks Tigger does he has any family Tigger is awestruck that there might be other Tiggers out there and Tigger and Roo head over to Owl's home for help to find his family. Owl talks about his family tree and Tigger start immediately looking for a tree with Tiggers to it. When Roo and Tigger do not find the tree the two of them head back to Tigger's home and Roo suggest that Tigger write a letter to his family. After waiting for a long period of time, Tigger gives up that there are other tiggers out there.
Roo, feeling sorry for Tigger, gets Piglet, Owl, Kanga, Eeyore, and Winnie-the-Pooh together to write a letter to Tigger to cheer him up. Tigger finds the letter the next day in his mailbox and is excited about the letter and wakes everybody up about his letter. Tiggers tells everyone that his family is coming to visit him. The gang is shocked because no one put that in the letter. Owl asks Tigger about the letter and Tigger tells him you have to read between the lines. Tigger sets off to his house to get ready for a family reunion. One by one the gang tries to tell Tigger that there is no family reunion, but just don't have the heart to do it. Roo comes up with an idea to disguise themselves as others tiggers. The plan starts off perfectly, but when Roo decides to do the Whoopty-Dooper-Loopty-Looper-Alley-Ooper bounce his mask comes off and Tigger believes that the gang thinks that Kanga, Roo, Owl, Piglet, Eeyore, and Winnie-the-Pooh are all trying to make him look like a fool. Tigger leaves his him vowing not to return and goes out looking for his family in the middle of a snow storm. Roo is upset and goes over to Pooh's house and Winnie-the-Pooh suggests that an expedition and goes to Rabbit's house to lead the expedition. Rabbit leads the expedition with Roo, Pooh, Piglet and Eeyore to assist in finding Tigger. The group finds Tigger and during the middle of the conversation Tigger causes an avalanche with his shouting. Tigger is able to get all his friends in a tall tree, but is unable to save himself. Roo uses the Whoopty-Dooper-Loopty-Looper-Alley-Ooper bounce to go after Tigger and the two uses the Whoopty-Dooper-Loopty-Looper-Alley-Ooper bounce to rescue them from the fall. In the end Tigger realizes that the residents of the Hundred-Acre-Woods are his family. Overall I did enjoy the with the exception of the rescue part. I just thought the movie could had have a better ending to it. The Tigger Movie gets a B+.

Movie Review: Great movie for Kids and T-I-DoubleGER-ERs of all ages
Summary: 4 Stars
Every review so far has noted the plot to this movie so I'll skip that and move onto my thoughts of the movie which is an excellent movie for kids and Tiggers of all ages. Simply put, Disney once again has given the world a movie that is clean and fun for everyone and is very well done. Sure the animation is a few notches down from their typical theater run movie but its still effective enough and is a bit above the typical Pooh fare. I was very stunned to see how well Jim Cummings did replacing Paul Winchel as the voice of Tigger - while still doing Pooh on top of it. The movie itself is wonderful and once again I stress that its perfect! On DVD itself however, its a tad far from perfect. The Dolby Digital 5.1 mix is mostly front and center based with very very little activity on the rear channels at all - very disappointing considering the amount of things that could of been placed there. Another thing is Disney lied about the aspect ratio of the movie itself - on the box it states 1.66:1 (as that's the ratio its supposed to be) but anyone with enough knowledge of ratios can easily tell its 1.83:1. While I can understand Disney reframing the matting for viewing on HDTV, at least be honest to the public about what ratio it runs at.
Beyond those two complaints which is the main reason why I gave the movie only 4 out of 5 stars, the DVD is excellent. Picture is very clean as it should be for a very recent Disney film with no compression artifacts, dust, or edge enhancement noticed. The audio, despite not being a great surround mix, is very clear - sound effects are bright, dialog is very understandable, and the movie's music score and songs sound sweet on the DVD. Plus the extras on the disc are also nice - the Kenny Loggins video is very well done and is worth at least one viewing as the song fits wonderfully in with the films themes of family, not to mention a nice song all around.
Overall, The Tigger Movie is a wonderful movie and is great for Kids and T-I-DoubleGER-ERs of all ages!
Movie Review: A notch above DTV
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Movie Review: A fable about friendship and family
Summary: 4 Stars
Funny, joyful, The Tigger Movie comes to our screens bringing to our memory old animated film, with their simple figures, sometimes hand drawn, a candid touch, melancholic songs and a tender story about the courage of friends and the definition of family according to the vision of the cute animals of the 100 acre wood.
This time, our hero is the wildly orange feline Tigger, who in the eve of winter doesn't want to get ready like the rest of his friend, but instead wants to pay and have fun. The rabbit suggests finding other tigers to share his childish pleasures. And that's how Tigger begins the search of his family.
Even without being fans of the tales of A.A. Milne, creator of Winnie the Pooh, children and adults will enjoy this lovely movie. The story is simple and easy to follow, the visual content is attractive and even it didn't use the flashy animation of movies like Finding Nemo or The Incredibles, it stays true to the original drawings, forming at atmosphere of childhood nostalgia rather uncommon in the present animated features
In its own terms, this adventures mixes humor, emotion and honest feeling to teach us that, in Tigger's case, family are Piglet, Pooh, Eyeore, Christopher Robin, Roo and Owl. In other words, family is not necessarily creatures like you, but those who love you unconditionally.
