I remember enjoying The Tigger Movie a lot when I was younger, so it was a thrill to view the film again many years later. I can say with great joy, that this film is just as good, if not better, than I remember it.
In fact, I think adults and older children may get more out of the film than youngsters, because a toddler is not going to appreciate Tigger's rambunctious grammatically incorrect/correct speech, like an adult might.
The songs enhance the film greatly. While some were made directly for the kids, there are plenty of tunes that will get the parents in the audience giggling too.
All the classic Winnie the Pooh characters are here, though Christopher Robin only appears at the end for a brief amount of time, and it was obvious that he was somewhat forced into this film, and has very little, if anything to do.
The actual story line is surprisingly emotional, and as much as I laughed during this film, there were times where I felt like getting up during the film to go to the bathroom (sob quietly).
Winnie the Pooh is a fond childhood memory of mine, and even today, I enjoy it as much as ever. Winnie the Pooh is not a kid's movie; it's a GOOD movie.
