One of my all time favorites.
i must have seen a different film!!
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
This was the third 'act' of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, which is how I first saw this as a very young child (probably a baby, now that I think about it). Though the whole feature was kind of ingrained into my system at an early age, I think this final section always left an impression on me. It was because of Tigger being this main subject here - in later years he'd get his own movie, The Tigger Movie as it was pretty obviously called - though really moreso about how he was perceived, that made it so funny and captivating and even a couple of times scary and almost-borderline sad.The two things that happen in Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too involve Rabbit in a big way, and it's little wonder from a storytelling perspective; they're diametrically opposed, with Tigger and his, to put it lightly, carefree attitude, and Rabbit being, to also put it mildly, fastidious. He likes his garden and Tiggers bouncy ways mess it up. Can the bounce go away for a while? A personality adjustment could do it, so he, Pooh and Piglet go out into the woods with the plan to abandon him (just for the night, as Rabbit proposes to a hilariously sleepy Pooh by the way), but it backfires as Rabbit is the one who gets stuck (not unlike, say, Snow White in her feature).The other thing is that Tigger does get some emotional shock when he is stuck up high on a tree - he even talks to the Narrator Sebastian Cabot, which I found both young and today absolutely hysterical - and maybe does, just for a moment question or lose his bounce (by, you know, 'request' of a sort). This second part may not be completely as masterful as the first segment, but the two compliment each other and work together as two stories in one whole: what does it mean for other people around Tigger? Or just Rabbit, for that matter? If all you do is bounce around and have fun, is it fun for everyone else around you, or will some people not 'get' it, or completely match up to that fun (ala Roo, if memory serves).Ultimately, as it's shown, being 'bouncy' is a good thing, certainly if one is a Tigger. But what I've always liked about these stories here is that it's actually not Pooh challenging the springy fella, it's the character who we probably shouldn't stand really, the 'grown up' curmudgeon guy. Maybe some day kids will have to stop bouncing, but for now, it's alright, and certainly for comedy sake, that is.
This is a great cartoon short with lots of (almost) everybody's favorite, Tigger. Rabbit is tired of Tigger bouncing on him so he comes up with a plan to stop it. It backfires and he winds up having to be rescued by Tigger. Later, when Tigger is stuck up a tree, he makes a promise to never bounce again if he is saved. But can Tigger possibly keep such a promise? Will his friends even expect him to? This is another Pooh classic. Some great animation and wonderful voicework, especially by Paul Winchell as Tigger. A sweet, memorable, fun cartoon with terrific characters and lots of heart. Great for kids but for adults as well.
This video is hard to find, and I have been looking to find it for a long time, so I could add it to my Pooh collection. This is a great Pooh story, and the story is so much fun. The Honey Tree, the Blustery Day, and the Day for Eeyore,( even though Day for Eeyore was released later), are better than this. Even though Day for Eeyore was released later and this is older, it is better , because the fist two and the last one are better than this, because two of the best characters are missing. Eeyore did not appear, and Owl did not either. I think that the ones that are missing some of the characters are not as good. In this story, they take Tigger on a long explore to lose him, and Rabbit gets lost, and is scared, and the rest make it back. In the next part, Roo and Tigger get stuck in a tree, and if they help Tigger down, he can not ever bounce again. The story is a little dark and mean.Despite the characters are absent, this story is still good, and your kids will love it so much. It is great.
Disney has been criticized (often justifiably) for the sometimes very loose adaptations of other works to animation. But they generally have done quite well by the Winnie-the-Pooh adaptations. This short, nominated for an Academy Award in the excellent year of 1974, is a first-class adaptation of the denizens of the 100-Acre Wood. Personally, Tigger is my second favorite character (after Eeyore) so I particularly like this one. Disney used animation to actually create the feel of the A.A. Milne books and did very well by the stories. Highly Recommended.
