Sitting on the couch with my 2 year old son, I've become something of a connoisseur of children's movies at this point. To be blunt, most of the modern "Pooh" films from Disney are pretty much garbage. The Piglet and Roo movies are especially painful, and got tossed out after about 1/2 a viewing each. In both of those, the characters are just being yanked and shoved through the motions by a giant, souless marketing machine that is determined to squeeze yet more cash out of them, even if it has to kill them in the process.

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.

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.

I like this movie mostly because I have no problems with my son watching it, as with all Winnie the Pooh movies. It is a Pooh movie that doesn't have the five minute stories but one large story. In this movie, Rabbit suggests to Tigger to go find other Tiggers to bounce with and so Tigger is off to find his family tree, which must be the greatest tree in the hundred acre woods.

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.

This is a fantastic DvD for the whole family. This movie is my favorate of all the pooh movies.Tigger is given alot of depth here. Great story line and Grade A animation. If you own a surround system your in for a treat. Incredible music and effects. I hope disney does another film someday with Tigger as the main character.

This movie is a must-have for ANY Disney collection! It is, in a word, ADORABLE! Made in the "old-syle" Winnie The Pooh, this new release does NOT disappoint! My husband and I found it incredibly entertaining; never boring, and of course, our five year old daughter is just crazy about it! In the movie, Bouncy Trouncy Tigger, tired of being the "only one" I guess, sets out to discover his "family tree." In the end, though, he discovers who is REAL family is, and has been, all along. Very cute, very watchable, really funny at times, and just an all-around wonderful movie to own for the entire family! My opinion is, if you haven't seen the Tigger Movie yet, your family is REALLY missing out on a good one! TTFN!

Wonderful production. Esthetically pleasing. Cute story with sweet, heart-warming characters. Depicts tender friendship role models. Offers an up-close look at real-life feelings and interpersonal relationships. Our children loved it and commented: "I love Tigger! He is so funny." "It was sad to find out that Tigger didn't have a family. Then, we found out that all his friends are his family and that is great." "This story is about helping others when they are lonely and sad." Best for ages 2 to 5.

First of all, this is an excellent movie for kids -- my 3 year old son loves this movie. However, as a lover of A. A. Milne's Pooh books and of the original shorts, I have to wonder why every contemporary Disney movie has to be so angst-ridden and concerned with self-improvement. In the original books and movies, Pooh and his cohorts are simple, silly characters who have simple, silly adventures. The Tigger Movie is a group-therapy session for stuffed animals. What's next -- Roo's search for his father? Pooh's attempts to overcome an eating disorder?

Bit it should have been a bit longer. 77 minutes is not enough. I have always loved Disneys animation of the Winnie the Pooh tv show and I was way excited when I first learned of this movie. 100 acre wood looks magical and is presented very well on DVD.

The story itself is a bit childish but still manages to have balls when it has Tigger FAIL to find his family. Although I would have liked him too I respect the ending they went for.

Although this film isn't to everyone's tastes (I know it seems a little fruity a guy of 20 can like this film) I say you should buy this DVD. It's pefect child fodder and good entertainment. Not just family entertainment. Should be longer though.

The DVD is in Dolby 5.1 and is anamorphically enhanced at 1.66:1.

Though not as great as the original "Pooh" cartoons, The Tigger Movie is a magical, gentle addition to the Winnie the Pooh franchise. The story centers around comic relief character Tigger, and his search to find others of his kind. It turns out that being the only one is not all it's cracked up to be. When the other residents of the Hundred Acre Wood, lead by a well-meaning Roo, write a letter to Tigger from a fictional "family" of Tiggers, Tigger thinks it's all working out perfectly. Unfortunately, the charade can't go on forever... and it all leads to a thrilling snowy climax at the edge of the Hundred Acre Woods.

Tigger Movie is a story about belonging... about being part of a family. The message of this heartwarming film is that your family consists of those who love you as well as those who look like you. Everyone can belong, and the bonds of friendship are stronger than steel.

Kids will relate to the wonderfully acted Roo, and parents and adults will appreciate and be touched by this tale of courage, loyalty, and love.

The animation is much like that of the original cartoons, and the backgrounds are beautiful. The film's songs were written by the Sherman Brothers, who wrote the original Pooh tunes. I give this film my highest recommendation.

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.
