Dialogue
edit- [opening scene]
- Narrator: Now, this might be the room of any small boy. But it happens to belong to a boy named Christopher Robin. And like most small boys, Christopher Robin had toy animals to play with. And together, they had many remarkable adventures in an enchanted place called the Hundred Acre Wood. But of all his animal friends, Christopher Robin's very best friend was a bear called Winnie the Pooh.
- Tigger: [pops up] Winnie the Pooh?! [shuts the book] Wait half a darn minute! It seems to me that most of these stories are about that silly old bear.
- Narrator: [opens the book] Well, then, Tigger, what should this story be about?
- Tigger: Well, I happen to know someone who's extremely fascinating. Not to mention handsome and debonairy.
- Narrator: But the title already says Winnie the Pooh.
- Tigger: Oh, that's easy to fix!
- [he disassembles the title and assembles a new title: The Tigger Movie]
- Tigger: There! Now that's a wonderful title! And speaking of wonderful things... [giggles; bounces back into the book]
- Roo: [observes an unfamiliar object] What is this doohickey?
- Tigger: Why, that's no doohickey. It's a thing-a-ma-bob.
- Tigger: [removes Roo's Tigger disguise] Roo! What are you doin' impersonisin' a Tigger?
- [one by one, he removes the others' disguises]
- Tigger: Piglet? Kanga? Owl? Eeyore!
- Eeyore: Hoo-hoo-hoo.
- Pooh: We only wanted to help, Tigger.
- Tigger: Oh. Oh. Now I understand. It was all a big joke. Well, that's all right. 'Cause somewhere out there, there's a Tigger family tree full of my real Tigger family. I got a letter to prove it! And I'm gonna find 'em. So, T-T-F-E. Ta-ta forever! [heads out the door]
- Tigger: [notices his friends approaching] What are you guyses doin' here?
- Rabbit: Doing? What are we doing here?! We came all this way to look for you! Now, forget about all this other Tiggers nonsense and come home.
- Tigger: [taken aback] Nonse-- NO!
- Rabbit: Are you crazy?! It's not safe out here!
- Tigger: Exacti-cally! That's why you should all go home, where it is safe! But I've gotta wait here, in my family tree, for my real FAMILY!
- [the gang hears a loud rumble]
- Piglet: Is that a rumbly in your tumbly, Pooh?
- Pooh: I don't think so, Piglet.
- Owl: [recites the letter] Dear Tigger, just a note to say:...
- Kanga: ...dress warmly...
- Pooh: ...eat well...
- Piglet: ...stay safe and sound...
- Eeyore: ...keep smilin'...
- Roo: We're always there for you.
- Owl: Signed...
- Everyone: Your family.
- Tigger: For Eeyore, a new family room for your lovely home.
- [Eeyore trots into the new hut]
- Eeyore: Seems kinda big. Bit on the comfy side. Not very drafty. But I suppose I'll get used to it.
- Tigger: You didn't think I was gonna disremember you, did ya?
- [he presents Roo with a gift]
- Tigger: Go on. Go on. Open 'er up. It's all yours.
- [Roo opens the box and looks inside]
- Roo: [extracts the locket from the box] Is it really for me, Tigger?
- Tigger: [puts it around Roo's neck] Only the best for my bestest little brother.
