Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too

1974 animated short film directed by John Lounsbery

Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too is a 1974 animated short film from Disney released as a double feature with The Island at the Top of the World. A soundtrack album was released simultaneously and featured such songs as "The Honey Tree" and "Birthday, Birthday." The film, whose name is a play on the slogan "Tippecanoe and Tyler too" made famous during the 1840 United States presidential election, is based on the fourth and seventh chapters of The House at Pooh Corner, the second Winnie-the-Pooh children's book by A. A. Milne.

The film's plot is based primarily on three A. A. Milne stories: "In which Tigger is unbounced" (Story VII from The House at Pooh Corner), "In which it is shown That Tiggers don't climb trees" (Chapter IV from The House at Pooh Corner), and "In which Pooh & Piglet Go Hunting and Nearly Catch a Woozle" (Chapter III of Winnie the Pooh),

Dialogue

Narrator: Now on this sunny day Pooh was a bear of very little brain tried very hard to think of something.
Winnie the Pooh: Think, think, think, think, think, think, think.
Narrator: And while he was thinking, all of a sudden-
[Tigger bounces Pooh from sitting the log]
Winnie the Pooh: Ooof!
Tigger: Hello, Pooh! Grrrr. I'm Tigger! T-i-double guh-er! That spells Tigger!
Winnie the Pooh: I know. You've bounced me before.
Tigger: I did? Oh, yeah! I re-cog-go-nize you! You're the one that's beast tuff with fluff!
Winnie the Pooh: Yeah, and you're sitting on it.
Tigger: Yeah, and it's comfy, too! Hoo-hoo-hoo! Well, I gotta go, now! I got a lot of bouncing to do! Hoo-hoo-hoo! T-T-F-N! Ta ta for now!
Narrator: Well, there goes Tigger, always bouncing in on his friends when they least expect him. [Piglet is sweeping outside of his house, until Tigger bounces him, making his broom flying]
Piglet: Ooof!
Tigger: Grrrr! Oh, hello, Piglet! I'm Tigger!
Piglet: Oh, Tigger! You scared me!
Tigger: Oh, shucks! That was just one of my little bounces!
Piglet: It was? Oh, thank you, Tigger.
Tigger: Yeah, I'm saving my best bounce for old long ears! Hoo-hoo-hoo! Ta ta!
Rabbit: Hum-de-dum-dum. Hum-de-dum-dum. Hum de-dum-dum-dum-de-dum-dum. There! That should do it! Oh no! Stop! oh come back. [Tigger bounces him, making his carrots flying, ruining his garden]
Tigger: Hello, Rabbit! I'm Tigger! T-I-double guh-
Rabbit: [pushes Tigger out of the way] Please, please! Don't spell it! Oh, dear. Oh, dear. Just-just looks at my beautiful garden! [Tigger's foot is stuck inside the pumpkin]
Tigger: Yuck! Messy, isn't it?
Rabbit: Messy?! Messy?! It's ruined! It's ruined, Tigger! Oh, why don't you ever stop bouncing?
Tigger: Why? That's what tiggers do best! Hoo-hoo-hoo!
Rabbit: Tigger! B-b-but you're supposed to be lost.
Tigger: [patting Rabbit's cheeks] Aw, tiggers never get lost, bunny boy.
Rabbit: [dazed] Never... get... lost?
Tigger: Of course not!
Rabbit: Oh, no.
Tigger: [as Roo is swinging on his tail] S-s-s-s-s-stop that, kid! Please! S-T-O-P, stop! You're rockin' the forest!
Roo: Christopher Robin, I like the old, bouncy Tigger best.
[cut to Tigger sadly walking away]
Christopher Robin: So do I, Roo.
Piglet: I do, too.
Roo: Me, too.
Kanga: Of course, we all do. Don't you agree, Rabbit?
Rabbit: [realizing what is going and stops smiling] I uh...
Christopher Robin: Well, Rabbit?
Rabbit: Well, uh, uh, that is, I-uh, what I mean...
Winnie the Pooh: Well?
Rabbit: Uh, I uh... [sighs] Oh, all right. I guess I like the old Tigger better, too.
Tigger: [Pounces Rabbit-Overjoyed] Oh, boy! You mean I can have my bounce back?! Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Come on, Rabbit! Let's you and me bounce, huh?
Rabbit: Good heavens! M-m-m-me bounce?!
Tigger: Why, certainly! And look, you've got the feet for it.
Rabbit: [looking at his feet eagerly] I have?
Tigger: Sure! Come on, try it! It make ya feel grrreat!
Tigger: Not even just... one teensy weensy bounce?
Rabbit: Not even a smidgen of a bounce!
The Narrator: [chuckles] Well, Tigger, your bouncing really got you into trouble this time.
Tigger: [puzzled] Say, who are you?
The Narrator: I'm the narrator.
Tigger: [pleads desperately] Oh, well then, please, for goodness sakes, narrate me down from here!
The Narrator: Very well. Hold on tight.
[Turns the book sideways as Tigger yells and yelps in fright]
Christopher Robin: You can let go now, Tigger.
Tigger: [stammers in panic, then covers his eyes] N-n-n-n-n-n-n-never!
The Narrator: But Tigger, look for yourself. You're perfectly safe. [Tigger peeks down at the text, then gingerly lets go of the tree, and sits on the text as the Narrator chuckles] What did I tell you, Tigger? [Tigger smiles] Come on. [turns the book again, this time slanted] Back we go! [Tigger yelps as he slides down the text, then lands in the snow]
