Review #27 | The Tigger Movie

I loved Winnie the Pooh that I had to watch an extension of that world. So I went 'back' in time and watched a spin-off movie, The Tigger Movie.

The Tigger Movie, 2000

In this animated story for the whole family, Disney brings A.A. Milne's classic characters from the Winnie the Pooh stories back to the big screen. Tigger is having a hard time finding anyone to play with him, so he decides to track down his family tree and find other Tiggers. Concerned that their friend feels sad, Winnie and his friends dress up like Tiggers so he won't feel so alone. But once Tigger finds out who they really are, it makes him even more determined to find his real family. As Tigger heads out in search of others like himself, he accidentally makes his way into a snowstorm, and Winnie and friends must find him before he gets lost in the cold. The Tigger Movie was originally produced for home video and then upgraded to a theatrical release.

Tigger in my opinion is not an appealing character to have its own movie. I watched this movie with curiosity of how the filmmakers would make the story go around a character who only comes to screen for ‘bouncing’.

For the most part The Tigger Movie fails to entertain many audiences but it all comes to the heartwarming ending of finding true family. A family is not far away dream but right there for you even if it was not what you imagined it would be.

Tigger goes too far to look for his family and has trouble realizing that he already has a family. The animation is pretty decent but I wouldn't say it’s the best quality. The songs are forgettable and the plot is recycled. However you cannot turn away from this movie unhappy because of its sweet moral of family.

Memorable Quote: (Tigger) ‘Cause there’s nothin’ best than the best!
