Tigger
From Free net encyclopedia
Tigger is a fictional character from A. A. Milne's book, The House at Pooh Corner. He has starred in his own film, The Tigger Movie (Disney, 2000), along with his friends from the Hundred Acre Wood.
Some of Tigger's friends include Roo, Kanga, Pooh, Rabbit, Owl, Piglet, Eeyore, Heffalumps, Christopher Robin, and many other friends that the gang makes on their journeys. Image:Plush tigger.JPG
He is easily recognised by his orange and black stripes, beady eyes, a long chin, a springy tail, and his bouncy personality. As he says himself, "Bouncing is what Tiggers do best".
Tigger is very confident and often undertakes tasks with gusto, only to later realise that they were not as easy as he had originally imagined. When Pooh met Tigger (in the book), he had trouble finding food that Tigger would eat - however the problem was soon solved when Tigger tasted extract of malt, which Kanga gave to Roo as medicine. Tigger is also known to hate hunny unlike his friend Winnie-the-Pooh.
An interesting quirk about Tigger is that, according to his theme song, "the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is I'm the only one." This song leads to his search for his family in The Tigger Movie.
Tigger was originally voiced by Paul Winchell. Since the 1990s, he has been voiced by Jim Cummings (who is also the voice of Pooh). On June 24, 2005, Winchell died; John Fiedler, the voice of Piglet in some of those films, died the next day.
Tigger's birthday is believed to be in October, with year around 1928, this being the year that The House at Pooh Corner was first published. On Tigger-related merchandise, Disney often indicates Tigger's birthyear as 1968, a reference to the first year that Tigger appeared in a Disney production, Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day.
