Featured reviews
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
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.
*** (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.

- TriviaThis featurette accompanied the theatrical release of L'île sur le toit du monde (1974).
- GoofsAfter Piglet, Pooh, and Rabbit lose Tigger in the mist, the surroundings of the sand pit on page 123 are the fallen tree and little trees. Then when Piglet, Pooh, and Rabbit return to the sand pit, there are more bigger trees and bushes within the pit's surroundings and there's a bigger tree where the fallen tree was.
- Crazy creditsThere are no end credits at the end of this feature. All credits are at the beginning of the feature.
- Alternate versionsAn airing on NBC circa 1975 had a sped up intro that contained male voiceover whom announced the title and a sponsorship from Sears which was in charge of Winnie the Pooh merchandise at the time. The 1986 VHS release and 1987 laserdisc release had this same variant except for fading to black for about a nanosecond after the title when the sponsorship was announced on TV which meant that the sponsorship was cut from the 1986 VHS release and 1987 laserdisc release.
