This is the third and last of the Winnie Pooh trilogy by Wolfgang Reitherman and Sterling Holloway. Just like the second, it got nominated for an Academy Award, but this time it did not win. After watching all three of these I have to say that I prefer the 3 Soviet Films about Winnie Pooh. They have as much action as these American films, but it's much more essential as not all of the Russian films run for 20 minutes. There's just not enough happening in here. I even wondered after the first how Rabbit became a friend of everybody and after watching this third film I have to ask that question again. I mean he is really mean to Tigger here. Yes the bouncing may be annoying, but why forbid him to do it. And what was up with that Hansel & Gretel idea of leaving him alone in the deserted forest? Seriously? That's just cruel. In any case, I do not recommend this third film either.

Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too (1974)*** (out of 4)Charming Disney short has everyone growing tired of Tigger bouncing around and especially annoyed at him bouncing on people. Owl, Pooh and Piglet come up with a plan to finally teach Tigger a lesson. WINNIE THE POOH AND TIGGER TOO certainly has its charming moments and these here are enough to make it worth viewing even to a somewhat non-fan such as myself. There were some very good moments scattered throughout this film but the highlight from me was a very funny sequence where Rabbit is trying to ice skate when Tigger comes along, bouncing, and makes a mess of everything. While all of the supporting players are on hand here, there's no question that the film belongs to Tigger whose bouncing ways make for many great scenes. This includes the ending, which I won't spoil but it's quite funny to see the trouble that Tigger gets himself in.

This is a great cartoon short with lots of (almost) everybody's favorite, Tigger. Rabbit is tired of Tigger bouncing on him so he comes up with a plan to stop it. It backfires and he winds up having to be rescued by Tigger. Later, when Tigger is stuck up a tree, he makes a promise to never bounce again if he is saved. But can Tigger possibly keep such a promise? Will his friends even expect him to? This is another Pooh classic. Some great animation and wonderful voicework, especially by Paul Winchell as Tigger. A sweet, memorable, fun cartoon with terrific characters and lots of heart. Great for kids but for adults as well.

I don't think Tigger Too is quite as good as Honey Tree and Blustery Day, but I definitely recommend it. Sure there are no songs apart from the reprise of The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers, but the incidental music is absolutely beautiful.The animation is spot on, and the story is still a nice idea. And it is entertaining, and what makes it entertaining is Tigger. What wonderful voice work from Paul Winchell.The other voice actors also do very well with a good script, and Roo is really cute. There is one part that sticks out for me though- the part when Rabbit tells Tigger he can never bounce again, and Tigger goes off on his own, with his head down. That part never fails to bring tears to my eyes, and I still don't know why. Perhaps it was because I couldn't bear to see Tigger so sad.Very sweet and memorable! 10/10 Bethany Cox
