From Parents' Choice®
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.

This "Tigger Movie" is different though. Again and again I found that it moved me to tears, and the story, animation and writing all hit home, almost like they were created by people who actually cared deeply about what they were doing. So far, it's the only one of the modern Pooh films I've seen that captures much of the original Disney/A.A. Milne magic. My son loves it too.
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.
It is rather cute and the songs that go along with the movie are great. My son and I will dance to a couple of them. It is also fun to watch all of the Pooh friends try to dress up like Tigger and "do as Tiggers do." My son loves this movie! Even as an adult I enjoy sitting back and watching this film.
Cute story, a little humor,and kid-friendly... this movie is highly recommended.
Thank you!
