Our family has always enjoyed "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" (A compilation of the first Winnie the Pooh shorts), and have enjoyed the simple, easygoing stories. The more recent Winnie the Pooh offerings by Disney have been disappointing, often relying on Indiana Jones-ish action sequences, forgettable songs, and poor animation.
I was expecting about the same from this film. Thankfully, the creators of this film have gone back (almost) to the style of the first shorts. This film relies more on the relationships of the characters rather than using a fast-paced action-based method of storytelling. The animation is quite good, and the songs fit well with the story.
However, the songs aren't woven too tightly into the story (you can always see one coming). There is one song in the tradition of the past Disney films where all the visual references go way over the kids' heads; then there is the finale which really did not need to use a major action sequence to make its point.
Despite these things, "The Tigger Movie" is very well done and is an enjoyable film for the whole family.
