    One example for Eeyore's desire to make someone happy is, when Owl's home was destroyed by the wind in The many adventures of Winnie the pooh, and he went to look another home for him, and no one even asked him to do that, but he search it for long. (Until he stole it from Piglet,to Owl, but you got my point) But he did all that by him self to make Owl happy.

    It expands on the friendship between the two of them from Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too short/segment from The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, where Tigger takes out Roo to bounce and have some fun, including trying out ice skating (though it turns out it was harder than it seemed, causing him to accidently crash into Rabbit and send him into his house in a yet another mess that Tigger inadvertily but annoys Rabbit greatly, causes, which is why Rabbit gets annoyed with Tigger, as he tries to mind his own business, like harvest his vegetables or ice skate, only for Tigger to ruin everything for him, and the reason he wanted him to stop bounce so Tigger won't bounce on him again and cause more trouble for him, which is why he was the only who was actually glad that Tigger stopped bounced as he promised he would if he ever got down, though he does admit, although under group pressure by Pooh and the others, that Tigger was better when he was happy, and to discover that doing the bouncing himself is actually quite fun, which is appropiately consindering rabbits DO jump).

    The Tigger movie was a contrast to Tigger's iconic song "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers". At the end of the song, Tigger says "the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is that he's the only one". Tigger was usually happy to be the only Tigger, but the Tigger movie tried to contradict that fact by pushing maybe he ISN'T the only one and that there are actually more Tiggers

I like the message that you don’t have to find people who are Exactly Like You to belong. There’s this idea that your perfect friends/family are people who will never disagree with you but that’s not true.

    I mean, Rabbit is also a real animal… usually; “Many Adventures” had both an episode where he ended up in a toy shop (“How Much is that Rabbit in the Window”), but it also featured one where he’s obsessively preparing a party for *dozens* of bunnies… Like, they’re not explicitly stated to be his family to my recollection, but it’s in the subtext. And yes, it was by the looks of it a birthday; maybe his, but it’s funnier to me if it was all of theirs because subtle humour about lupine reproduction habits tickles me. :-D That aside, Rabbit is also deliberately not involved in the A-plot for characterization purposes, which is of course why he ultimately comes with them at the end. He really does care; he’s the most anguished-sounding when Tigger was swept away by the avalanche. ;-)

In the Disney stuff he’s more expressive with his wings, but in the book he’s mostly got them tucked away and uses his talons for everything. I mean, he’s not a plush toy in the traditional sense, but he still technically is.

    Winnie The Pooh has always been my childhood growing up, next to Toy Story and the Jungle Book. As a young child, my first introduction to the franchise was The Tigger Movie, which explains my love for Tigger, after that. This movie pretty much shows that there's more to Tigger than his bouncy reckless nature. And the way I see it, him always bragging about being the only one of his kind was more of a coping mechanism for his loneliness and it shows after the incident with Rabbit's Rock Remover. That scene along with that music score was a tear-jerker for me. Roo was definitely at his best in the film. It shows that there's more to him than just being a younger Tigger. The fact Roo always idolizes Tigger and treats him like an older brother is so heartwarming and he's probably the only one who genuinely cares about Tigger's happiness, I always loved the brotherly dynamic, especially after The Tigger Movie. My favourite part of the film was always the avalanche scene. It was such an intense moment from start to finish, with Rabbit being the only character with no soul whatsoever to Tigger lashing out at him (Totally deserved it) casing in the landslide. And a fact Tigger wasted no time bouncing everyone to safety including Rabbit, not having time to save himself only for Roo to master the Whoop De Duper bounce and the two rescuing each other back to the tree where the offers are at holding dear life, always gets me every time. Harry Gregson-Williams was DEFINITELY at his best as a music composer the music scores really make me feel for the characters and the situations they go throughout this film. Tigger has always been my favourite WTP character and that film showcases that. In my opinion, Winnie the Pooh as a franchise just doesn't feel complete without Tigger.

    Yeah, you really nailed my thoughts, I liked it about the movie, it showed there is more in Tigger and yes there is: and that in reality the "always be happy to be the only one of his kind" he does it to face his loneliness, that hit me, and he did have a character development here and what I also like is how more thoughtful Tigger becomes in the end, when he realizes his friends are also his family: giving gifts to his friends, thinking about what they like or need, he even maturely promises Rabbit to now pay more attention to where he jumps.. I also liked how Tigger and Roo's brotherly dynamic had more center, and Roo genuinely cares about Tigger's happiness.. and really the Winnie The Pooh franchise is not the same without Tigger

    @SilvanaPuris2310 I'm so glad we're on the same page. I doubt that I would have been into the franchise as much if weren't for Tigger. Pooh may be the titled character, but Tigger is what made the franchise alive from the 20s to the 2000s. (in my honest opinion). WickedBinge even said after The Tigger Movie, Tigger became an even better guy, a lot more considerate to the cast and a great role model to Roo. After watching The Book of Pooh, Piglet's Big Movie, Springtime With Roo, Pooh's Heffalump Movie and My Friends Tigger & Pooh, I can definitely see that, in his Tiggerish way, Tigger does become more helpful and considerate throughout the rest of the franchise. But at least he's still bouncy, that's one trait a Tigger will never lose.

    I recently got back into the WtP franchise, and rewatched the movies/specials/cartoons from my childhood. And one in particular, Springtime with Roo, hit me particularly hard. One of the most popular WtP theories is the whole "the characters have different mental illnesses" theory. I don't really have a lot of thoughts/feelings about that theory. But rewatching this movie brought the "Rabbit has OCD" theory to mind. For a good chunk of the movie, Rabbit's obsessiveness with detail, order, and refusing to play along at first, and how it's portrayed...it brought back certain feelings and memories for me. I'm on the spectrum, and have recently developed Religious OCD. I don't think I can accurately describe in words how terrible my experience with the latter was; I wouldn't wish it on anyone else. And the former really effected how I interacted with people and developed emotionally growing up. And why am I telling you this? Well, the way Rabbit kept getting upset when things weren't going right, and is constantly told "You're making everyone else upset", reminded me of the way I processed things and how my feelings were constantly overlooked in favor of others, how I would never understand why people were upset with me growing up (since everyone just expected me to understand and didn't bother to explain anything). To this day, I still have trouble expressing how I feel, have turned into a chronic overthinker and over-apologizer that lets people walk all over her, and even when I was dealing with things, I guilted myself out of going to therapy with the thought of, "If you go, you'll be taking that therapist away from someone that actually needs them. There's always someone that has it worse than you. You have no right to complain." But then I saw the scenes where Roo brings everyone to his house, and has them repair his Easter Bunny hat. They cared enough that they were willing to compromise to understand Rabbit and help him feel better. Seeing that...made me so happy, and made me wish I had that growing up. I'm slowly but surely getting better, and have chosen to forgive the people who wronged me. But I wish people would treat those with mental disorders as nicely and as understanding as the residents of the Hundred Acre Wood. Also, 22:07 to 23:09 was spot on! You talking about how, even though Rabbit can be harsh he still cares about Tigger, reminds me of my own parents. They're human beings like me, meaning they're not perfect and still have their own issues to work through. And I'm sure it wasn't easy raising someone like me, especially with my lack of social awareness and often being in my own little world. They could be harsh at times, and it sometimes felt like they didn't care to listen to how I felt, but now that we're all older and have matured, it's getting easier to communicate and understand where they were coming from. I love my parents, and I know they love me. Between Springtime and the Tigger Movie, it gives me hope that, even though people don't understand us, there's still someone out there that loves us and will always be there for us. Jesus loves you! Have a blessed day!

It's actualyl pretty shocking to me why no one ever talks about how great The Tigger Movie is (I recently re-watched it for the first time since I was a kid, thanks to this video, and it's still great.).

Heck Tigger's Super bounce would have been more useful in Pooh's Grand Adventure.

But I guess it was essential in forming my opinions of how family really works because the points you made at the end there are things that I've had internalized for decades!

That motif that plays while Tigger gazes at Owl's family tree portraits, and towards the end when he realizes "You mean you fellas are my family?" filled me with waves of emotion when I was young, and still does. Same with "Your Heart Will Lead You Home" by Kenny Logins. Fantastic job to these writers and background artists. Just a wonderful example of how family movies (pardon the pun) can explore such emotional climaxes and lowkey dangerous stakes. Another reason why I also love Piglet's Big Movie and Pooh's Grand Adventure so much. Same with Pooh's Heffalump Movie capturing that feeling of getting lost in a forest that seems infinitely bigger than yourself, or at least from a child's perspective.

Also, there were so many wholesome in the The Tigger Movie, including Pooh just eating honey.

    One lesson I love in this movie is that families are loving, even when angry with each other. Members make mistakes but their love for each other is more important. Pooh, Piglet, and Eeyore are frustrated with Tigger's antics early on, but they look for other Tiggers if it means making him happy. Later Tigger is angry with his friends for tricking him, but when the storm gets worse, he begs them to go home where it's safe, before rescuing them. He's angry with them and claims he doesn't want to see them again, but his love for them is more powerful than that anger

And I loved the late 90s/early 2000s films. Warm beautiful things. I remembered as a child how surprised I was by the melancholy atmosphere of this film. Being 'The Only One' had never bothered Tigger until Rabbit pointed out the rest of the gang were not Tiggers. My heart really hurt for the guy. It's not right to see Tigger looking so sorrowful and haggard. I wish they still put this sort of effort and care into children's shows, expressing depth and empathy. Not afraid to broach mature or frightening situations. And the artwork! Mein Gott!

    This was a movie I'd had on rewatch. This movie was fun! And Tigger is my favorite character from the Winnie the Pooh series. Plus, Jim Cummings does a tremendous job as Tigger

    The color theory in this film is fantastic! It switches between orange and blue, which are complimentary colors. (Also, bonus points for this film including other creatures that we would find in the woods!)
