Those of us who grew up with the wonderful inhabitants of the Hundred Acre Wood were pleased as punch to see Winnie the Pooh and friends get a full-length animated movie. Still, while Pooh has always gotten the lead role in most of the Pooh cartoons, it always seemed to be Tigger who was the most popular character. So, logically, it seemed the right idea to make him the star. While the movie enjoys the songcraft of Richard and Robert Sherman (the team responsible for most of the great Disney songs of years gone by), it sorely misses the vocal talents of Paul Winchell and Sterling Holloway (although the ageless John Fiedler soldiers on). "The Tigger Movie" makes wonderful rainy afternoon viewing both for restless tykes and nostalgic Disneyholic adults. But be warned; bouncing can be habit-forming!!!
