My daughter really enjoys the series, but lately has gotten bored of watching the same episodes. We loved the Christmas DVD, but this DVD had two episodes which were already shown of TV. Only one episode was new. It was rather disappointing.

My wife and I decided to get this for our daughter. The Pros: it holds her attention as it is her favorite show. The Cons: it repeats many of the same episodes that Disney already airs on TV. The Tigger delivery service, the Darby tail episode as well as a few other we had already seen are part of the DVD. The actual exclusive episode is standard length and it has about an hours worth of preview and Disney commercials....also it loops the menu only stay on for about 2 minutes and then the whole thing previews and all begin again....it works for when she wants to watch Tigger and Disney's not airing it.

This and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse are my daughter's two favorite shows on Disney Channel. Mickey is obviously orientated for the very young while My Friends Tigger & Pooh is better for 5-7 or so, not that younger won't enjoy it as well. It is not as interactive as some of the other young Disney Channel shows but I like that it repeats the problems solved at the end. Repetition is so important in teaching! It is a very cute show and does not bore the rest of the family when my daughter gets to watch it!

I was very disappointed when I watched this DVD with my son. There were 3 episodes and one new one that was very short. The other two I had seen many times on the Disney Channel.

I will never quite understand why Walt Disney Productions decided to "breathe some fresh air" into the Pooh Franchise by replacing Christopher Robin with Darby, as they did in MY FRIENDS TIGGER AND POOH. I understand it even less now having seen the upcoming trailer for the new theatrical movie, in which Christopher Robin seems finally to be given his due. If you already hate Disney Pooh, then shy away from this DVD, as you probably have already from the TV show it's based on.

But... if you're willing to take the TV show on its own dramatic merits, as I found myself doing despite myself when I reviewed this DVD, then you should really like this DVD. Darby and Christopher Robin would be "best buds" if only they were allowed to be together. Darby is a sweet, curious, thoughtful girl with a lot of ethics and an enviable ability to wear bright colors. She's also more physically active than Christopher Robin has usually been (this student of Jungian/Myers-Briggs personality types suspects she's an ENFP to Christopher Robin's INFP), and so can deal with Tigger's energy and exploit it in her "detective work" more readily. The animation is computer-generated, the action well-paced, and the stories less whimsical than the traditionally animated series starring Christopher Robin and Pooh which came out some years prior to this.

The one real drawback to this collection? In the UK there were two episodes in the series where Christopher Robin was featured, but they have never been shown in the US to my knowledge and you won't find them on this DVD. Too. Bad. Indeed.

Of all things, Disney cancelled the running of My Friends Tigger & Pooh. This DVD has saved my life. Having these 6 episodes keeps sanity in our household. If there any other DVDs of multiple episodes please sell them!!!

My daughter loves this movie!! As long as your child likes Tigger & Pooh I definitely recommend this movie!

My kids love this series of videos and they are very entertaining and a great learning tool.

My son loves this DVD, he laughs every time he watches it, and every time means many times for a 2 years old. I like too.

This movie is awesome for little toddlers! My almost 2 yr old grandaughter laughs out loud when Tigger gets the hickups. It is hilarious! The animation and graphics in this line of movies is out of this world. Makes the old movies look boring. You can't go wrong in buying this for your toddlers. It is really good in comparison to buying the cartoon character movies. It teaches and entertains.
