OUR REVIEW
It's strange seeing the normally joyful, bouncing Tigger depressed, but he is. Tigger is down because he's started wondering about his family and if he has one. Surely there must be other bouncing Tiggers out there, but Tigger has no idea where to start looking and he soon spirals into an Eeyore-like funk. However- I gotta say, that I liked getting a peek into the ever happy-go-lucky Tigger's other side. Not to say I liked seeing Tigger depressed but it is nice to see he has more layers than just bouncy. I think underneath it all, it shows kids that even Tigger isn't happy all the time, and that's OK. The picture is as good as it ever was, but this movie is not that old. I loved that the normal main character Pooh is more of an afterthought and a supporting character. I loved how they try to cheer him up by dressing up as him. Giana is getting a little old for Tigger & Pooh but she watched it with her little sister anyway! Devonny doesn't know Pooh & his friends as well as Giana did. When Giana was little there was the (back-then) new Tigger and Pooh cartoon on Disney which doesn't even come on anymore. Also, we don't have cable anymore, so the only time she would see Pooh and his friends is when I put the old DVDs of Giana's on. Since she monopolizes our TV with girly characters, such as Bratz and Barbie ( & so on) Pooh has a rare appearance on our television in our home. So - that turned out to be a good thing, since she hasn't seen it that much, it isn't something she has grown tired of, like- The Little Einsteins and been played to death. We have watched the movie twice, and though she is a bit young to sit through the whole movie, she definitely expresses interest in it. I love that the set comes with a regular DVD and a BluRay since the only BluRay we own is in the living room. That way- if the kids want to watch it, while I am watching something else, I don't have to sit though a kiddie movie I have already seen. :)
Giana had a peek at the Special Features, and played around with them for a while. When asked what she thought of them, she said she liked them better than the movie. (The first thing she does upon inserting ANY disc, is check to see what the Special features offer.. (: Of course, the movie has a happy ending and they band together to cheer Tigger up (without the help of Prozac! LOL) .
