Tigger

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. more...

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.

He is easily recognized 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 realize 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.
