Disturbing yet enthralling
... View MoreIt's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
... View MoreThe tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
... View MoreThe story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
... View MoreRoo is bouncing up and down on the tree branch. The scene was in it. There is Roo hold his two feet for a split legs to bounced down from the tree to the coat of Christopher Robin. Kanga caught him for rescuing him.Roo did that. The song from "Give a Little Whistle" with Jiminy Cricket and Jiminy bounced on the whistling saw. Those are my favorite scenes. Roo and Jiminy are split legs for bouncing. It was fun. There are awesome work, excellent work. In fact, Jiminy starting to bounce on the saw a bit. Then, he landed on one of the clocks, tap dancing a bit before changing the clock to 11:30. He then knocked on the door, marching while the wooden carving of a farmer, wife, and cow began ringing bells with the cricket leading them. Then, he stopped near the door as the wooden carvings began going in while the carving of the daughter was seen. Roo loved to bounced down from the tree.
... View MoreThis is the third short of Winnie the Pooh and his friends. In my opinion, it's the funniest of all and just as good as the earlier 2 shorts. This one isn't simply the funniest, it is also the bounciest. This is full of classic humor and great fun! Yes, our friend Tigger bounces a lot here. He's full of surprises and he bounces to his friends when they less expect. He bounces to Winnie the Pooh, Piglet and Rabbit. He surprises Pooh, scares Piglet, angers Rabbit and amuses little Roo and Kanga. However, he does a special "small bouncing" for Piglet because he is so tiny and he doesn't really bounce to Roo or Kanga, perhaps in respect for Kanga.And oh, it's so delightful to hear Tigger amusingly saying «Hi hi! She called me dear!» - there's also some vanity in the way he says it. It's equally delightful to hear Tigger calling Pooh «the one who's stuffed with fluff» and «very comfy, too», as well as to hear him call "Long ears" to Rabbit.Rabbit, of course, likes Tigger as much as the others, but he doesn't accept very well Tigger's bounces. In fact, he decides to have a meeting of protest with Pooh and Piglet because he has a plan to "unbounce" Tigger. The plan consists in taking Tigger to the forest and leave him alone in a far place, so that he gets lost and stops bouncing.But the plan doesn't work the way they expect. Ironically, Rabbit, Pooh and Piglet are the ones who get lost and Tigger ends up finding them and bounces them, one by one. However, Rabbit is the one who feels humiliated after Tigger assures that «Tiggers never get lost» and keeps wondering «Why oh why oh why?». Tigger is just too smart to get lost.Later, Tigger decides to take Roo with him to teach him all about bouncing. Tigger gets overexcited, bounces until the top of a tree and that's when something hilarious happens: Tigger is too afraid of heights, so much that he doesn't have courage to even try to get out of that sticky situation. He even promises not to bounce anymore (without really meaning it, of course). It's so hilarious to see our friend Tigger scared of heights.These Winnie the Pooh's old shorts are real classics. Timeless and very charming. They also give us that "nostalgia" feeling about childhood and classic Disney. In Tigger's words, instead of a goodbye, I'll just say «Halloo!» :)
... View MoreThis 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.
... View MoreDisney 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.
