Ursinho Puff e o Tigre Saltador

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.

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.

I don't think Tigger Too is quite as good as Honey Tree and Blustery Day, but I definitely recommend it. Sure there are no songs apart from the reprise of The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers, but the incidental music is absolutely beautiful.

The animation is spot on, and the story is still a nice idea. And it is entertaining, and what makes it entertaining is Tigger. What wonderful voice work from Paul Winchell.

The other voice actors also do very well with a good script, and Roo is really cute. There is one part that sticks out for me though- the part when Rabbit tells Tigger he can never bounce again, and Tigger goes off on his own, with his head down. That part never fails to bring tears to my eyes, and I still don't know why. Perhaps it was because I couldn't bear to see Tigger so sad.

Very sweet and memorable! 10/10 Bethany Cox

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 is the third of the four Winnie the Pooh featurettes. I should find this as satisfying as Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree and Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day. But it really focuses on Tigger. The voice cast is great as the other 2 films, and the music is great as well. And the plot? Well, let's say that it satisfies me. I am disappointed on one thing however. It was nominated for an Academy Award, but it lost to Closed Mondays. (I haven't heard of or seen that one yet, but it's not a Pooh film.) But still, I recommend this film as well as the other three. You should see them all. They can really satisfy you.
