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.
... View MoreRoo is bouncing up and down on the tree branch. The scene was in it. There is Roo hold his two feet for a split legs to bounced down from the tree to the coat of Christopher Robin. Kanga caught him for rescuing him.Roo did that. The song from "Give a Little Whistle" with Jiminy Cricket and Jiminy bounced on the whistling saw. Those are my favorite scenes. Roo and Jiminy are split legs for bouncing. It was fun. There are awesome work, excellent work. In fact, Jiminy starting to bounce on the saw a bit. Then, he landed on one of the clocks, tap dancing a bit before changing the clock to 11:30. He then knocked on the door, marching while the wooden carving of a farmer, wife, and cow began ringing bells with the cricket leading them. Then, he stopped near the door as the wooden carvings began going in while the carving of the daughter was seen. Roo loved to bounced down from the tree.
... View MoreWinnie 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.
... View MoreThis is the third short of Winnie the Pooh and his friends. In my opinion, it's the funniest of all and just as good as the earlier 2 shorts. This one isn't simply the funniest, it is also the bounciest. This is full of classic humor and great fun! Yes, our friend Tigger bounces a lot here. He's full of surprises and he bounces to his friends when they less expect. He bounces to Winnie the Pooh, Piglet and Rabbit. He surprises Pooh, scares Piglet, angers Rabbit and amuses little Roo and Kanga. However, he does a special "small bouncing" for Piglet because he is so tiny and he doesn't really bounce to Roo or Kanga, perhaps in respect for Kanga.And oh, it's so delightful to hear Tigger amusingly saying «Hi hi! She called me dear!» - there's also some vanity in the way he says it. It's equally delightful to hear Tigger calling Pooh «the one who's stuffed with fluff» and «very comfy, too», as well as to hear him call "Long ears" to Rabbit.Rabbit, of course, likes Tigger as much as the others, but he doesn't accept very well Tigger's bounces. In fact, he decides to have a meeting of protest with Pooh and Piglet because he has a plan to "unbounce" Tigger. The plan consists in taking Tigger to the forest and leave him alone in a far place, so that he gets lost and stops bouncing.But the plan doesn't work the way they expect. Ironically, Rabbit, Pooh and Piglet are the ones who get lost and Tigger ends up finding them and bounces them, one by one. However, Rabbit is the one who feels humiliated after Tigger assures that «Tiggers never get lost» and keeps wondering «Why oh why oh why?». Tigger is just too smart to get lost.Later, Tigger decides to take Roo with him to teach him all about bouncing. Tigger gets overexcited, bounces until the top of a tree and that's when something hilarious happens: Tigger is too afraid of heights, so much that he doesn't have courage to even try to get out of that sticky situation. He even promises not to bounce anymore (without really meaning it, of course). It's so hilarious to see our friend Tigger scared of heights.These Winnie the Pooh's old shorts are real classics. Timeless and very charming. They also give us that "nostalgia" feeling about childhood and classic Disney. In Tigger's words, instead of a goodbye, I'll just say «Halloo!» :)
