One can hardly go wrong with anything involving
Winnie the Pooh. A.A. Milne’s beloved
characters are (rightfully so) a staple
of childhood. From mine over 40 years ago
to my daughter’s love of her Tigger
doll. We watch the movies together, but
more importantly we read the books together.
Let me tell you, seeing your little girl
successfully read the name Eeyore is one
of life’s greatest experiences.
Over the years, there have been many movies
and TV shows, some better than others. The
newer CGI version with the little girl as
their friend instead of Christopher Robin
is ok, but doesn’t entirely capture
the innocence of Pooh. But, better that
than most of the children’s shows
you’ll find these days.
“The Tigger Movie” tells the
‘tail’ (appropriately enough)
of Tigger’s search for his family.
Generally believing he is the ‘only
one’, as he has sung for so many years,
has made him a bit melancholy.
|
Hoping to brighten his spirits Winnie and company
decide to pretend they are his family and write
him a letter. When Tigger finds out about the
deception, he opts to leave the Hundred Acre Woods
forever. Worried about their friend, the gang
heads out to find him, finding adventure along
the way.
Originally released in 2000, “The Tigger
Movie” is making a comeback on Disney DVD
for its 10th Anniversary. This 2-disc set offers
up all of the special features that were available
on its original run, including the interactive
storybook version of “The Tigger Movie”,
a matching game, a sing-along version of “Round
My Family Tree”, and a music video for Kenny
Loggins’ “You Heart Will Lead You
Home.” New to this set is Tigger Movie Trivia
Game that unlocks an Easter Egg if you finish
and two episodes of “The New Adventures
of Winnie the Pooh.”
The best part however is the Digital Download
copy of the film. This is something I’m
hoping to see more and more with classic and kid’s
films.
“The Tigger movie: 10th Anniversary Edition”
is well worth your dime, if you don’t already
have a copy of the film in your collection.
