Boring for big kids but perfect for littles

Our “babies” (2+) loved this movie. They love Tigger. The kids got into the emotions of the movie, which I was pleased to see. Yes, there’s some sadness and Tigger gets upset with his friends. It teaches kids that emotions are okay. I grew up with Winnie the Pooh, and they were some good memories. My babies love Winnie the Pooh. What I like most is the innocence. There’s nothing terribly scary compared to other things they’re exposed to. There’s child- like dialogue, there’s not too much going on, and there’s still a story. It is boring for myself and the bigger kids, but the target audience isn’t big kids or adults. Winnie the Pooh was made for toddlers and preschoolers, which is who it’s appropriate for.

What's the Story?

When the rambuctious Tigger destroys Eeyore's home, everyone in the Hundred Acre Wood gets so upset that they ask him to leave them alone. Tigger feels so dejected that he wonders why no one appreciates his Tigger-ness. In fact, he wonders, why aren't there more Tiggers around like him? So begins a determined search for his family tree. Can Pooh and pals convince him that no matter what he finds on his quest, they will always be there for him?

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (11 ):
Kids say (17 ):

Though the first 20 minutes of this addition to the Pooh series provide lots of giggly Tigger moments, his quest to find his own family feels a little over-extended as the movie wears on. It's not a new theme, and Tigger's search might feel somewhat predictable to adults. Plus, Tigger's decision to find his own family that "looks like him" has him ignoring his friends, which causes hurt feelings all around.

Despite its shortcomings, this playful, musical peek into Pooh's Corner does illustrate why it's such a special place. And viewers learn that true family might not look exactly the way one expects. Sometimes what we're looking for is bouncing along next to us the whole time.
