Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too (1974)

The Worst Film Ever

That was an excellent one.

Simply Perfect

I'll tell you why so serious

Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too (1974)*** (out of 4)Charming Disney short has everyone growing tired of Tigger bouncing around and especially annoyed at him bouncing on people. Owl, Pooh and Piglet come up with a plan to finally teach Tigger a lesson. WINNIE THE POOH AND TIGGER TOO certainly has its charming moments and these here are enough to make it worth viewing even to a somewhat non-fan such as myself. There were some very good moments scattered throughout this film but the highlight from me was a very funny sequence where Rabbit is trying to ice skate when Tigger comes along, bouncing, and makes a mess of everything. While all of the supporting players are on hand here, there's no question that the film belongs to Tigger whose bouncing ways make for many great scenes. This includes the ending, which I won't spoil but it's quite funny to see the trouble that Tigger gets himself in.

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.

I have watched and reviewed a ton of Academy Award nominated animated shorts and this is a rare situation where I saw two films in this category in the same year that I think earned a 10--one of which was this wonderful film from Disney. The other, CLOSED MONDAYS, I loved because of its amazingly cranky main character and the uniqueness (at the time) of Claymation. Both are great and worth seeing, though I can't help but prefer WINNIE THE POOH AND TIGGER TOO!--it just had a timeless magical quality about it.However, I can certainly understand the Oscar people not giving this Pooh film an Oscar--after all, in 1969, WINNIE THE POOH AND THE BLUSTERY DAY earned the award in this category, so it wasn't like this Tigger film was super-unique--which CLOSED MONDAYS certainly was.As for this film, it is available now in a DVD with several other early Pooh shorts and is a must-have for fans of Pooh. It is simply perfect--charming and expertly crafted--with some of the best Disney animation you'll ever see.

This was another chapter in the very popular short Walt Disney animation cartoons. Winnie the Pooh, bear with little brain, meets the well loved Tigger again. He keeps bouncing into everyone, he even ruins Rabbits vegetable patch. Rabbit is so sick he proposes to get Tigger lost in the forest to stop his bouncing. Unfortunately, Rabbit, Pooh and Piglet end up getting lost themselves in the mist. Eventually when they get out of the forest they end up in snow. Tigger unfortunately while playing with Roo ends up in a high tree, and he is afraid of the height that he can't find the courage to get down. A good story with a loved character, kids will love it. It was nominated the Oscar for Best Short Film, Animated. Winnie the Pooh was number 55 on The 100 Greatest Cartoons. Worth watching!
