The Tigger Movie features the lovable feline from the Hundred Acre Wood looking for his roots and family tree. On the soundtrack, Tigger's tale comes complete with a narrated 12-minute version of the story and a hardbound book. But the songs threaten to steal the show. Written by the legendary Academy and Grammy Award-winning songwriting duo Richard and Robert Sherman, the artful tunes are trademark old-school feel-good Disney. The Sherman brothers, after all, have penned some of the most memorable Disney songs ever, from the immortal songbook for Mary Poppins to Disneyland's lyrical romp "The Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room," and many others--including that global kid anthem "It's a Small World After All." With Tigger, the Shermans again pen the lovable lyrics kids and their grownups will be singing together. A bluesy ballad, a big production number called "Round My Family Tree," and other uptempo tunes such as "The Whoop-de-Dooper Bounce" embrace not only Tigger's character but the poetry and all-too-human sensibility (and occasional imbecility) of the Winnie the Pooh stories. Add a collaboration with Kenny Loggins on "Your Heart Will Lead You Home" (a typically sweet and saccharine Loggins treatment) and you've got a classic Disney soundtrack from Tigger's corner of the Hundred Acre Wood. --Martin Keller

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't wait for the video?, March 31, 2000

"The Tigger Movie" is Better than "Pooh's Grand Adventure". I saw the preview for it and I discovered that Kanga and Roo are in it, too,but not Gopher. People who loved the Movie will have this as a keepsake. Did you Know "Your heart will lead you home is on 2 Cds including this one. It even has Dialougefrom the film,too!

...this CD would have been better if they had left out the story part, and filled the rest of the CD up with some of the score's from the movie. Look for a used copy of this CD, because you will be sorry you bought this at retail price.

3.0 out of 5 stars tigger is wonderful, August 29, 2003

By	"perryink2" (castle rock) - See all my reviews

If it takes Tigger to get a new song out of Long John Baldry, then so be it; his croaky ode to Winnie the Pooh is a sparkling jazz number and a wonderful finale for this 14 song soundtrack of lovable, huggable, bouncy, wouncy singalong kiddie songs. Rather than using Tigger as an excuse to pinch out a shedload of new Elton John/Tim Rice stinkers that parents will love and kids will hate, the album collaborators (which include Michael Becker, Dick and Bob Sherman, Kenny Loggins and Mike Abbott) have created a traditional collection of outrageous singalongs which mix elements of jazz, blues and showtunes in a colourful storybook of sound as loony, absurd and appealing as its rubber-tailed star. Few children's movie soundtracks ever aim this high anymore.
