Tigger is having a hard time finding anyone to play with him, so he decides to track down his family tree and find other Tiggers. Concerned that their friend feels sad, Winnie and his friends dress up like Tiggers so he won't feel so alone. But once Tigger finds out who they really are, it makes him even more determined to find his real family. As Tigger heads out in search of others like himself, he accidentally makes his way into a snowstorm, and Winnie and friends must find him before he gets lost in the cold. The Tigger Movie was originally produced for home video and then upgraded to a theatrical release. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
When it comes to Pooh stories, a shortage of ambition and reluctance to improve on success should be counted as assets.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Even though the animation is still sharp, the writing is flat.
Robert Horton, Film.com
There's something about The Tigger Movie that exemplifies the subpar state of movies today.
Joan Anderman, Boston Globe
The Tigger Movie falls short of recent children's animated features.
Jeff Millar, Houston Chronicle
Cute.
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
A conflicted entertainment, compromised by trying too hard to impress the restless, self-referential adults in the audience.
Nell Minow, Common Sense Media
Tigger's bouncy quest will appeal to younger viewers.
Joly Herman, Common Sense Media
Tigger's bouncy quest will appeal to younger viewers.
Phil Hall, EDGE Boston
Everyone knows that tiggers are wonderful things, and the bouncy striped feline is more than wonderful in this delightful 2000 animated feature.
David Cornelius, DVDTalk.com
Even at a brief 77 minutes, we're left feeling the story and its characters have been stretched too thin.
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...designed to appeal primarily towards younger audiences...
James Plath, Movie Metropolis
While The Tigger Movie may be the best-selling preschool DVD of all-time, it's going to make older children wander off in search of their own families . . . who will have abandoned the TV set.
James Plath, Movie Metropolis
It's not just the pacing. The Tigger Movie just doesn't show a lot of imagination.
Ed Gonzalez, Slant Magazine
If this 10th Anniversary Edition of The Tigger Movie is remembered in the future, it's for introducing a new generation to the music of Kenny Loggins.
Staci Layne Wilson, StaciWilson.com
Flouncy, trouncy feel-good fun!
Chris Gore, Film Threat
Perfect for the single-digit aged set, who will love it, and not terrible for adults since the film moves fast at a quick 75 minutes.
Kim Newman, Sight and Sound
There is something badly wrong with the film's premise, which contradicts Milne's lessons that Tigger can't climb trees ... and that, crucially, Tigger can't be unbounced.
Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
I was pleasantly surprised.

The story is darker than most of Winne The Pooh's previous adventures, and the story wont appeal to anyone over the age of 9 or 10, the film is a positive installment into the Pooh adventures, and will be great entertainment for children.

The Tigger Movie is one of the most tear triggering, exhilarating, and fun family movie ever. It may lack great songs or a story but it still satisfies. Overall Rating:78
