Storyline

Rabbit is tired of Tigger always bouncing him, so he get's Pooh and Piglet together to come up with an idea to get the bounce out of Tigger. Rabbit suggests they take him into the middle of nowhere and leave him overnight. The idea backfires and Rabbit, Piglet and Pooh find themselves lost, but Pooh's tummy guides them home. Then, Tigger and Roo go out for a bounce and get caught in a tree, which Tigger is too afraid to get out of, and Rabbit makes Tigger promise that if they help get Tigger down, that Tigger can never bounce again. So Tigger is rescued and feels sad that he can no longer bounce, but everyone, including Rabbit, agrees they liked the old bouncy Tigger better.

User Reviews

A really great short film.

This 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.
