When it comes to Pooh stories, a shortage of ambition and reluctance to improve on success should be counted as assets.

When Tigger doesn't appear to want to help the gang build a home for Eeyore, the donkey, Rabbit suggests he leave them behind and spend some time with other "tiggers." Convinced that he's the only Tigger in the world, he goes on a quest to find out if he is, in fact, an original, eventually learning a very valuable lesson in the process: there's no place like home. Featuring songs by the Sherman Brothers (MARY POPPINS, THE JUNGLE BOOK). Both the VHS and DVD releases include a special music video by Kenny Loggins. [More]

Reviews for Winnie the Pooh - The Tigger Movie
The songs seem to have been written over lunch at the Disney cafeteria.
Parents and older siblings, however, may grow impatient with the uneven execution that weakens the genuine charm the film sporadically exhibits.
This Tigger outing feels more like an overblown TV special than a grand theatrical release.
The dialogue is kid-level funny and the animation often has the manic energy of Alice in Wonderland.
In spite of its shortcomings, children love these characters and will enjoy Tigger.
The movie is so refreshingly subtle and sweet compared to other recent Disney features.
A conflicted entertainment, compromised by trying too hard to impress the restless, self-referential adults in the audience.
A pale imitation of the original Winnie the Pooh Disney shorts of the '60s.
One of the movie's strengths is the score by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman.
Anybody who first saw Tigger and learned the wonderful things about him more than 20 years ago is going to feel great, as will the very young who have been raised on Pooh and Co., one of the few cartoons that avoids hostility and violence.
There's something about The Tigger Movie that exemplifies the subpar state of movies today.
The magical world of Pooh is always delightful to watch, even through a dirty lens.
