The Tigger Movie/Transcript

[We open outside a house before fading to the inside of a bedroom.]
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 100 Acre Wood. But of all his animal friends, Christopher Robin's very best friend was a bear called Winnie the Pooh.
[Suddenly, an animated Tigger appears.]
Tigger: Winnie the Pooh? Wait half a darn minute. It seems to me that most of these stories are about that silly old bear.
Narrator: Well then Tigger, who should this story be about?
Tigger: Well, I happen to know someone who's extremely fascinating. Not to mention handsome and debonair-y.
Narrator: But the title already says "Winnie the Pooh."
Tigger: That's easy to fix. 
[Tigger changes the title to the Tigger Movie.]
Tigger: There. Now that's a wonderful title. And speaking of wonderful things... Hoo Hoo Hoo!
[Tigger springs into the book as the pages turn to the animated Hundred Acre Woods.]
Tigger: (sings) The wonderful thing about tiggers is Tiggers are wonderful things. Their tops are made of rubber. Their bottoms are made of springs. They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy fun, fun, fun, fun, fun. But the most wonderful thing about tiggers is I'm the only one! That's why I repeat and repeat. The wonderful thing about tiggers is tiggers are marvellous chaps. They're loaded with vim and with vigor. They love to leap in your laps. They're jumpy, bumpy, clumpy, pumpy fun, fun, fun, fun, fun. But the most wonderful thing about tiggers is I'm the only one! I'm the only... 
[Tigger crashes into Winnie the Pooh.]
Tigger: Hello. I'm Tigger. That's T-I-double-geh-er. And that's me.
Winnie the Pooh: I know. You've bounced me lots and lots of times.
Tigger: Yeah. Fun ain't it? Say, you wanna go bouncin' with me? On account of bouncing's what Tiggers do the best.
Winnie the Pooh: I'd go bouncing with you, Tigger, except that I must count all these honey pots to be sure that I have enough for the winter. Let me get that please! Bother.
Tigger: Yuck! What do these Pooh Bears like about this icky, sticky stuff anyway? Well, no time for goofing off! I got dawdling to do! T-T-F-N. Ta-ta for now.
[?]
Piglet: Oh dear dear...
Tigger: Hiya Piglet, ol' pal! What say you and I do a little bouncing together?
Piglet: Bouncing? Oh my. I haven't enough firewood to last for the winter and...
Tigger: Why sure you do. Why, there's lots of firewood. It's lyin' all over the place.
Piglet: Whoa!
Tigger: There! See? Now we could go bouncing.
Piglet: But I would really rather prefer that my firewood not have quite so much chair in it.
Tigger: Well then... T-T-F-N! I Gotta be bouncing along. 
[?]
Tigger: Well hello there and good morning, Mrs. Kanga, ma'am!
Kanga: Well, good morning Tigger dear.
Tigger: She called me "dear." Pardon me for asking, but you wouldn't happen to be interested in doing a bit of bouncing with me, would ya?
Kanga: Well, I'm afraid I have just too much to do this morning dear.
Tigger: Well, if you have to. See ya later. Bye.
Roo: Tigger, Tigger! Tigger.
Tigger: I wonder why nobody wants to bounce with me. Oh well, what am I talking about? There's plenty of others I haven't even asked yet.
Narrator: And so, the others all came round to see what they might do to help. But the end of Eeyore's house was merely the beginning of a very unfortunate day.
Roo: Wow. Look at the size of it.
Rabbit: Your attention, please. I have officially completed the plans.
Winnie the Pooh: What plans?
Rabbit: The plans. For removing this boulder, and restoring to Eeyore his happy home.
Eeyore: No need to bother on my account.
Rabbit: All we need is a little team effort. Rabbit's Rock Remover. Now then. Pooh Bear! Release the counterweight! Kanga and Roo, start pressurising the granite extractor. Piglet! Piglet, start pulling your own weight over there.
Piglet: But I don't weigh anything.
Rabbit: Now, now, a little more over there. Yes, that's good. No, no, no. No. More pulling over here. This way. That's right. All right now. Oh, good. -I think...
Winnie the Pooh: Bother. Oh my.
Rabbit: Well now why didn't it work? Let's see here now. The counterweight...
Kanga: Perhaps we could use another helping hand.
Rabbit: Yes, all we really need is...
Roo: Tigger!
Tigger: Hello you blokes! Anyone up for a little bouncing?
Rabbit: No! No! No bouncing! Look! Just look at all this work we have to do!
Tigger: What? Moving that old thing? Not a problem. All you need is a little bouncing.
Piglet: How will bouncing move the rock Tigger?
Tigger: Tut, tut, tut. Not now Piglet. If maybe we had a little... Right there!
Rabbit: "Bouncing will move this boulder." It's almost amusing. Help!
Roo: Wow.
Tigger: Now that that's outta the way, who's up for a little bouncing?
Rabbit: What is it with you and bouncing? Just look at my rock remover! Everything's ruined. And all you can think about is bouncing!
Tigger: But that's what Tiggers do best.
Eeyore: Exactly. Unlike us.
Kanga: I'm afraid he's right, dear.
Piglet: What we're trying to say is that we really can't bounce like Tiggers, anyway, because...
Winnie the Pooh: We're not Tiggers.
[?]
Tigger: Who needs them other fellas anyhow? (sings) Mostly I'm happy and I'm bouncy, because I am the onliest one. 
Hummingbirds: (humming) Hmm hmm hmm hmm.
Tigger: (sings) But now all at once I feel so lonely for someone like me. 
Mice: (singing) Someone like me.
Tigger: (sings) Right now I'm sorta feeling downcy. I'm just about the loneliest one. 
Hummingbirds: (humming) Hmm hmm hmm hmm.
Tigger: (sings) And deep in my heart I'm sorta wishing for someone like me.
Bats: (singing) Someone like me.
Tigger: (sings) Somebody with springs and things who laughs and sings and jumps every day. Somebody who's fun, fun, fun. Who loves to trounce and pounce and bounce their gloomies away. Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo. How I dream there is another, a double, or a triple of me.
Fish: (singing) To keep him company.
Tigger: (sings) But since I'm awake I feel so lonely, because I know it can't be.
Animals: (singing) It never can be.
Tigger: (sings) Being that I'm the one and onliest. Someone like me. Someone like me.
Roo: Tigger? Don't be sad, Tigger. Why don't you go bouncing? That'll cheer you up.
Tigger: No one to bounce with, Roo Boy.
Roo: Well, what about another Tigger?
Tigger: Another Tigger? No, it's... It's impossibibble. It's crazy. I'm the onliest one.
Roo: But aren't there other Tiggers? I've got a mama. Don't you have a family somewhere too?
Tigger: Why, that's... I mean... A family full of Tiggers, you say. Can you imaginate such a thing? There'd be more Tiggers than you could stick a shake at! And we'd all be bouncing! Bouncing, morning, noon and nighty-night!
Roo: But I could still bounce with you, right Tigger?
Tigger: My very own Tigger family!
Owl: You wish to find your family. A most noble quest indeed. Here we are. Help yourself to the cream and sugar. The search for Familius Genus Tiggeris. That is Latin, I believe. Or is it Greek? Speaking of family, why, my very own family portraits hang right over there, a collection I've gathered throughout the years. Notice the interesting twists and turns of its many branches stretching out across the ages. It all comes from having strong roots, you know and plenty of time to grow. In fact, I do believe that the very seed of my family began to germinate as far back as the 14th century when a great-great-great-grand Uncle Torbett of mine went out on a limb and proclaimed his blossoming love to a blooming young maid. As their love blossomed, they eventually were blessed with nine fine, young saplings. Never a bough did break in that... Oh, my dear boy, are you quite all right? Have some more tea. Anyway, if I may go out on a limb here, I would first and foremost suggest for Tigger that to find one's family, one must first look up one's family tree. It does bring to mind a distant nephew of mine. A handsome fellow who became a sailor and fell in with a member of the feline...
Tigger: My family tree. My family tree! Why didn't I think of thinking of that? So long, Beak Lips! Thanks for the tip!
Owl: I say, was it something I said?
Narrator: And so began Tigger's grand search for his family tree. He searched high. He searched low. He searched near. And he searched far.
Tigger: Yoo-hoo! Family! Halloo!
Roo: Tigger, how are you gonna know which tree is your family tree?
Tigger: Why, that's obvious Roo Boy. My Tigger family tree has got to be the biggest, hugest and most gigantical tree in the entire 00 Acre Woodses on account of all the enormous, numerical, numerous numbers of Tigger family members that'll be on it. And besides and furthermore, it'll be all stripedy, just like yours truly. The only question is, where could my family tree be?
[?]
Rabbit: There! Good as new. Or maybe even better, if I do say so myself.
[?]
Eeyore: Could be a bit drafty. Might leak some. Sort of lopsided. Kind of cramped. Otherwise, a dream house.
[?]
Tigger: Hiya, donkey boy!
Roo: Hiya, donkey boy!
Pooh: Tigger.
Piglet: Tigger!
Rabbit: Tigger? 
Eeyore: Back to his bouncy old self.
[Tigger checks around a big oak tree.]
Tigger: Oh, is this perhaps a tigger family tree up there?
Pooh: Were you asking us to bounce with you? Because, you see, we would be glad to--
Tigger: Hello, tigger family! Hello! Uh, no, not this one. Hello!
Roo: Hello!
Tigger: Other tiggers, come out, come out, wherever you are!
Roo: Other tiggers!
Tigger: Come out, come out, wherever you are! And aren't! Et cetera! Hello! Tigger's family!
Roo: Hello! Tigger's family!
Tigger: Where are you?
[?]
Piglet: Pooh bear? I didn't know Tigger had a family.
Pooh: Yes. Only it appears… that he has lost them. Seemed to be lookin' for 'em.
Piglet: Uh, was that something we were supposed to be doing too?
Pooh: Why, I believe it must be, Piglet. I quite often remember to forget these sorts of things.
Rabbit: (offscreen) Oh, no, no.
Pooh: Aren't you coming, Rabbit?
[?]
Rabbit: Huh? To look for more tiggers? As if one wasn't bad enough. No, no! No! I have too many winter preparations to make. And-- And if you three had any sense, you'd be doing the same.
Pooh: Come on.
[?]
Tigger: Hello! Hello!
Roo: Hello!
Tigger: Tiggers! Come out, come out, wherever you aren't!
Roo: Tiggers! Hello! Tiggers!
Tigger: Just where aren't those tiggers anyway? We looked every which and where… not to mention right over there… and not a single stripedy tree in sight.
[?]
Tigger: Maybe I've been going about this all the wrong way upside down. Maybe what I need to do is find some sort of clue… as to where are their whereabouts.
Roo: What kind of clue?
Tigger: Maybe in here. Some thingamabob or an heir-i-loom or something. Oh! Maybe this belonged to my uncle! Whatever. And just think… if there are other tiggers, we could all bounce… the Whoop-de-Dooper, Loop-de-Looper, Ali-Ooper Bounce! 'Cause it's the bounce that tiggers do best.
Roo: The Whoop-de-w– What kind of bounce?
Tigger: Oh, you know, that bounce I bounc-ed when I bounced that big rock… the most hardest bounce of them all that only the very bestest bouncers can bounce. You know.
Roo: Only the very bestest bouncers… can bounce it.
Tigger: Oh! Could my auntie have made this for me?
Roo: I could bounce it.
Tigger: It looks like she made a pair.
Roo: If you could teach me the Whoopy Super-Duper Bounce, then I could--
Tigger: Teach ya the W-D-double-L-A-O-B? (stammers) What? That's ridickerous! Why, it-- it's a– It's a very powerful bounce, and it's only… for professional bouncers.
Roo: But I'm a real good bouncer.
Tigger: Hoo, hoo, hoo. No offence there, Roo boy… but I think you're a little on the smallish side of tiny… and kinda lackin' in perpendicaler.
Roo: I-l could do the Whooper Dooper, uh– The Looper Dooper, uh– If you teach me.
Tigger: Oh, you can't bounce the bounce… if you can't even pronounce the bounce. Repeat after Tigger. (sings) The Whoop-de-Dooper Loop-de-Looper, Ali-Ooper Bounce. The Whoop-de-Dooper Loop-de-Looper, Ali-Ooper Bounce. It's got the zip that makes you flip and that's what really counts in the Whoop-de-Dooper Loop-de-Looper, Ali-Ooper Bounce. (speaks) Now, half this bounce is 90 percent mental. If you calculate the specific tiggerjectory of your stripecelleration dicipherus by the square boot of your rebounce, your vertical situituation indicator and your stripersonic springnertia should ric-a-ticochet your hydranific fu-silly-age into an accelerometric de-orbit! Any questions?
Roo: When do I get to learn the Whooping Looper Whooper– I mean, the Looper Dooper Whooper, uh--
Tigger: (sings) The Whoop-de-Dooper Loop-de-Looper, Ali-Ooper Bounce. The Whoop-de-Dooper Loop-de-Looper, Ali-Ooper Bounce. The more you try, the more you fly and that's what really counts in the Whoop-de-Dooper Loop-de-Looper, Ali-Ooper Bounce. (speaks) Now, you swing your legs up high, and you twist your tail in tight. Wind up all your springs and with your eyes situated straight ahead… you let it all loose.
[?]
Roo: Um, is this right?
Tigger: (sings) It's best when done by tiggers 'cause ourtiggerific figgers Are filled with vim sand vigours and that's the thing that triggers the Whoop-de-Dooper Loop-de-Looper, Ali-Ooper Bounce. The Whoop-de-Dooper Loop-de-Looper, Ali-Ooper Bounce.
Roo: (sings) The more you try, the more you fly and that's what really counts.
Tigger: (sings) Right. It activates, it elevates, accelerates, and more.
Roo: Whee!
Tigger: (sings) You're bouncing off the ceiling like you never did before. The Whoop-de-Dooper..
Roo: (sings) Whoop-de-Dooper…
Tigger: (sings) Loop-de-Looper..
Roo: (sings) Loop-de-Looper…
Both: (singing) Ali-Ooper Bounce!
[?]
Tigger: Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo!
[?]
Roo: Wow! Now me! Now me!
Tigger: Tut, tut, tut! Hoo, hoo, hoo. Wait a minute. We haven't gone over all the safety rules and regularations.
Roo: Aw!
Tigger: Rule number one: Always bounce in a well-lit area. Rule number the-next-one: Never bounce near an open flame. Rule three: Never bounce right after eatin', or you'll get tail cramps.
[As Tigger talks, Roo prepares himself.]
Roo: First you-- And then you--
Tigger: Rule number four: Do not forget rule number--
Roo: And then you let it all loose with a--
Tigger: Rule number--
[?]
Roo: Whoo! Whoa!
[?]
Tigger: I think you let it a little too loose.
Roo: Maybe another lesson? I could– What is this doohickey?
Tigger: Why, that's no doohickey. It's a thingamabob. Been in the family for generations. And I never even knew I had a doo-- Hoo, hoo, hoo! This is the exact thingamabob I was lookin' for. And it must have a picture of my tigger family inside it.
Roo: Oh, boy!
Tigger: Oh! I can't wait. I'll bet I got my mother's eyes… and my father's tail and-and– one of my sister's chins, of course. My grand pappy's stripes.
[?]
Roo: It's kind of, sort of--
Tigger: Empty. Completely tiggerless. How am I supposed to find my family now?
Roo: M-Maybe there's another way to reach 'em.
Tigger: Another way? 
Roo: A letter! Why don't you write 'em a letter?
Tigger: Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo!
[?]
Pooh: Hello!
Piglet: Hello?
Pooh: Hello out there.
Piglet: Hello! Tigger's family?
Pooh: Tigger's family tree.
Piglet: Hello! Uh, how will we know a tigger family member… when we see one?
Pooh: I suspect that he, or she… would be rather more bouncy than usual, Piglet.
Eeyore: I found 'em. Tigger's family.
Piglet: Really?
Pooh: Oh! Where, Eeyore?
[?]
Eeyore: Here they are, bouncin' like anything, stripes and all. No need to thank me.
Pooh: Do these particular tiggers seem… rather strange to you, Piglet?
Piglet: Y-Y-Yes, and rather f-fierce.
Pooh: Still, I suppose you never can tell with tiggers. Pardon me, Mr– or Mrs-- Tigger… but could you perhaps accompany me back to Tigger's house? He misses you very much, you see. And he– Oh, bother.
Piglet: Uh-- Uh, hello, tigger family member. Uh, uh, I was wondering– That is, i-i-ifyou're not too busy– Oh! Whoa! D-D-Dear.
Eeyore: Sinkin'? Figures.
Pooh: If I could just have a moment?
Piglet: But-But please come back! 
Pooh: We really need your help. It would just take a minute. Oh, bother.
Piglet: Nice tigger. Ooh, hoo! I-l don't remember tiggers being quite this s-slippery, do you, Pooh?
Pooh: Well, now that I think of it… I don't remember a tigger making quite that sort of sound either. Piglet.
Piglet: Yes, Pooh bear?
Pooh: I don't think these are the right sort of tiggers after all.
Eeyore: Not that anyone will miss me.
[?]
Tigger: Let me see now. "Dear T-l-double-geh-ers. Tiggers. Greetin's and salivatin's! Please drop by any old time on account of my house is your house, and vice-y verse-y. Love, Tigger." Hoo, hoo. There! That oughta do it! 
[?]
Tigger: Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo! Now there's nothin' to do… but wait.
[?]
Eeyore: Hello, Tigger's family.
Pooh: Hello!
Piglet: Hello. Tigger's family?
Pooh: Are you out there?
Eeyore: Anybody out there?
[?]
Pooh: Why, if my tummy is not mistaken… this particular family tree… is a bee sort of family tree. And where there are bees, there's honey. Um, I think there may be something moving… in this tree. 
Piglet: D-Do you think it could be Tigger's family up there, Pooh bear?
Pooh: I suppose there's only one way to find out, Piglet.
[?]
Pooh: Just as my tummy suspected.
[?]
Pooh: Ow! Bother. If only these bees were a bit less… busy. Perhaps if I hummed a soothing sort of song. Like such… (sings) Go to sleep. Shh, quiet. lf you're a bee. A lullaby. Lullabee, lullabee. Honey bees in the tree rest your wings till the morning light. Lullabee, lullabee, honey bees in the tree. Your honey is safe tonight. Just dream to the tune I 'am singing. Time to stop all that buzzing and stinging. Mm, ouch. Lullabee, lullabee, honey bees in the tree. All I want is a smackrel or two or three. Don't sleep lightly. Sleep very tightly. Happy slumbers to you. Shh.
[Soon, the bees all fall asleep and Pooh starts eating honey.]
Piglet: Pooh bear's been up in that tree an awful long time, don't you think?
Eeyore: Most likely he's stuck. Been known to happen.
Piglet: Oh, d-dear! Then l-- I'd better climb up and-and see if he's all right.
[Piglet climbs up the tree and reaches Pooh as he's eating honey.]
Piglet: Uh, Pooh bear. (taps his bottom) Uh, a-a-are you stuck?
Pooh: Oh!
[Pooh falls in and splashes in the honey, waking up the bees.]
Pooh: Oh, bother.
Piglet: Uh, Pooh bear?
[?]
Pooh: Oh! Piglet.
Piglet: Yes, Pooh?
[?]
Pooh: I have come to the conclusion that--
Piglet: Whoa!
[?]
Pooh: …that these bees are definitely not the right sort of tiggers!
[?]
Eeyore: It doesn't look good.
[?]
Piglet: Bees! Run!
[?]
Narrator: At last, the day had come to an end as days often will. And what had begun as a very exciting idea had changed to a rather discouraging one.
[?]
Roo: Tigger? Uh, I gotta go home now. Mama will be worried about me. Tigger?
Tigger: Oh, what, am I kiddin' myself? They're not comin' 'cause I might as well face it– there aren't any other tiggers. I guess that means this silly old thing's just gonna stay empty for all of forever.
Roo: But isn't that the wonderful thing about tiggers being the only one?
Tigger: You betcha, Roo boy. Oh, the most wonderful thing about tiggers is I'm the very only last, lonely, single… S-s-s-solitary… one.
[?]
Roo: First, l– And just so– And then l– Like this. And then a little twist, like such. And then I let it all loose with a–
[?]
Kanga: Oh! Whatever are you doing, Roo, dear?
Roo: I'm practising the Whoop-de-Doop-Tee Bounce. Maybe if I do it really good for Tigger… he wouldn't miss not having a family so much. But I can't bounce it yet.
Kanga: Well, I'm sure you'll be able to do it in time, dear.
Roo: But Tigger seems awful lonely, don't you think, Mama?
Kanga: I suppose he might be every now and again.
Roo: Mama?
Kanga: Yes, dear?
Roo: I wish I had a big brother like Tigger.
Kanga: Now, why wish that… when you have a Tigger like Tigger?
Roo: 'Cause then I'd be his little brother… and he'd be just like one of our family. Wouldn't that be great?
Kanga: But, Roo, dear… Tigger is one of our family. And as long as we care for him, he always will be. Sweet dreams, Roo, dear.
Roo: I still wish I could do something to make him feel better.
[?]
Owl: I say, young Roo, if you suggest that a letter would bring cheer to our friend Tigger... then we shall, by all means, write one! Now, uh, what sort of letter is this to be?
Roo: It's by us from them to him. 
Pooh: By which from what to whom?
Roo: From Tigger's family to Tigger.
Owl: Ah, yes! "Dear Tigger, Just a note to say--" Uh, "just a note to say"? What shall it say?
Kanga: Well, uh… I suppose it might say… um, "dress warmly"?
Owl: Oh, oh, I see. Excellent advice.
Pooh: Oh, Owl? Perhaps-- "Eat well"?
Owl: Good point, Pooh bear. 
Piglet: "Stay safe and sound"?
Pooh: Oh, a very good idea, Piglet.
Eeyore: "Keep smilin'."
Roo: "We're always there for you."
Owl: "Wishing you all the best. Signed, Your Family." There.
Kanga: Won't Tigger be pleased?
Piglet: Yes, yes, how wonderful for Tigger.
Pooh: What a splendid idea.
Eeyore: Nice, everybody.
Owl: Yes, marvellous work, everyone.
[?]
Narrator: And so, the next morning…
[?]
Tigger: Hello, everybody! Pooh boy! Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo! Pigilet! Kanga! Kanga! Roo! Roo! Roo! Hoo, hoo, hoo! Eeyore! Eeyore, old buddy! Look at what I got. A letter, a letter for me! That's who. Hoo, hoo, hoo! T-l-double-geh-er spells Tigger!

Roo: Tomorrow?
Winnie the Pooh: Tigger, I can't wait to meet them.
Owl: Now where did it say that, exactly?
Tigger: Exackatackly nowhere per se, because with us Tiggers, you gotta read betwixt the lines. I'm gonna see my whole family, because my whole family is all coming to see little ol' you-know-who! But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is I'm not the only one!
Narrator: Now Tigger was so enormously excited that his friends couldn't help but feel, well, a bit concerned.
Roo: Tigger?
Tigger: Hiya Roo!
Roo: What are you doing Tigger?
Tigger: Why I'm building a family room onto my house, so my family will have plenty of room. They gotta live somewheres after the big family reuniting party.
Roo: Party?
Tigger: Why sure! Boy, it's gonna be great. It's all right in my letter. Speaking of which, you wanna hear me read it once or thrice again?
Roo: Tigger...
Tigger: "Dear..." They call me "dear." It's embarrassing, ain't it? The way us Tiggers go oozing oodles and doodles of affection.
Roo: Yeah, but...
Tigger: "Dear Tigger." Ya see that? Us Tiggers always call us Tiggers by their firstest names. "Dress warmly." They're worried sick about me. "Eat well. Keep smiling. Stay safe and sound." And here is the best part of all. "We're always there for ya." Isn't this the all-time greatest?
Roo: Yeah, the greatest. I was gonna tell him, but I couldn't. Pooh, do you think you could?
Winnie the Pooh: Why certainly Roo. Could what?
Roo: Tell him about the letter?
Winnie the Pooh: Why certainly.
Tigger: Could that be them already? Tiggers are usually fashionabubbly late. Welcome dear brothers, to the house of Tigger. Hiya buddy bear. You're just in time to help me finish up with the finishing up. Hold these while I put those there.
Winnie the Pooh: Tigger, there was a very important matter, which I must discuss.
Tigger: You're right Pooh Boy! I could use another balloon or 2 dozen!
Winnie the Pooh: Tigger.
Tigger: Something isn't right here. Much better. Now what'd you wanna talk about Pooh Boy? Pooh?
Winnie the Pooh: Perhaps I'll need a bit of help.
Narrator: Tigger was so very excited and had so very many things to do, he heard very little of what anyone else was saying. But as it so happened, none of his friends had the heart to tell Tigger very much of anything anyway.
Eeyore: Not like he won't find out for himself sooner or later.
Kanga: Oh the poor dear. He'll be so disappointed.
Piglet: Dear.
Owl: Indeed. What have we done?
Winnie the Pooh: Or, perhaps his family will come and everything will be fine.
Roo: That's it!
Owl: There! A veritable work of art.
Kanga: And just how will this cheer up Tigger?
Roo: Well, the stripes look okay. But what we have to do is act real Tiggery. We gotta do a lot of bouncing and say a lot of Tigger stuff.
Owl: Such as, "Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo."

Winnie the Pooh: Also.
Rabbit: Thank goodness I found you all here. There's a terrible storm headed for... What on earth are you doing? Stripes? Springs? Have you lost your minds? You should be covering the windows, counting your supplies, gathering the firewood! The winter is here and you aren't even ready. What are you doing wasting your time with... What am I doing wasting my time? I've got serious work to do! At least I haven't lost sight of what's really important.
Piglet: Well, I really didn't have enough time to gather any firewood.
Winnie the Pooh: I am down to this last, lonely honey pot.
Owl: Well, come to think of it, we don't really look or act very much like Tiggers.
Eeyore: Thought I was pretty convincing.
Roo: Wait! Wait! We gotta do it! We have to do it! Think how sad Tigger's gonna feel.

Tigger: I wonder where they could be. What if they got the wrong directions? What if they strayed off the beaten path? What if they're out there, hopelessly lost? Clutched in the cruel grapst of the winter? Hold on Tiggers, I'm coming to get ya!
Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, Kanga, Roo and Owl: (in disguise) Surprise!
Tigger: Is it? Is it? Is it really you? My very own, one and only family? Come in. Come in. Come in. Lots of catching upping we gotta do! We haven't seen each other in... We haven't seen each other!
Roo: (in disguise) Gee it's nice to have all us Tiggers getting together like this. Huh?
Owl: (in disguise) Oh yes, yes. 
Kanga: (in disguise) It certainly is.
Tigger: What am I... Where the heck are my mannerisms? Refreshing refreshyments for all, coming right up! Help yourself. Don't be shy. Here you go! Take 2, you're small. I mean, they're small. Have another. Lot of vitamins and minerals...
Winnie the Pooh: (in disguise) Bother.
Piglet: (in disguise) My, what a nice home you have.
Kanga: (in disguise) Yes and what a lovely decorations. So bouncety and stripedy.
Eeyore: (in disguise) Nice weather.
Tigger: Party flavor? Now this party's really starting to pick up. So what you been up to, cousin?
Piglet: (in disguise) I've been...
[?]
Roo: (in disguise) Bouncing. Bouncing, bouncing! Morning and noon and noon to night.
Tigger: Why, that's what I been doing too! It must run in the family. Hey! Who's up for some family-type fun and games? You look like a fun-loving type of fella. I got a great party-type, family-type game we can play! How about "Pin the tail on the don..." 
[?]
Tigger: It looks like you already been playing it.
Pooh, Piglet, Kanga, Roo and Owl: (in disguise) Phew!
Tigger: I know. Let's all do what Tiggers do best! That would be bouncing of course.
Owl: (in disguise) Of course! Bouncing! 
Eeyore: (in disguise) Absoposilutely.
Roo: (in disguise) Yeah!
Tigger: Let the bouncing begin!
Everyone: Yeah!
Eeyore: Bounce, bounce.
Piglet: I do enjoy bouncing!
Kanga: Don't bounce too high now Roo... Tigger. Tigger dear.
Winnie the Pooh: You certainly have a wonderful family Tigger.
Roo: Wait a second! We gotta bounce the Whoop-de-Dooper, Loop-de-Looper, Ali-Ooper Bounce!
Tigger: What a Tiggerific idea! Guests first.
Roo: Ya gotta swing your legs up high. And ya twist yer tail in tight. Ya wind up all yer springs. And with your eyes fixed straight ahead, ya let it all loose with a...
[He performs the Whoop-de-Dooper, Loop-de-Looper, Ali-Ooper Bounce, bouncing all over the place until he crashes into the closet, moving his mark up a bit. Confused, Tigger lifted up the mask, revealing Roo.]
Tigger: Roo! What are you doin' impersonisin' a Tigger? 
[He realizes the party is all a trick, so he unmasks everyone else.]
Tigger: Piglet? Kanga. Owl. Eeyore! 
Eeyore: Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo. 
Winnie the Pooh: We only wanted to help, Tigger.
Tigger: Oh. Oh. Now I understand. It was all a big joke. Well, that's all right. Because 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! 
[He storms out of the treehouse and walks through the snowstorm. The others sadly watch through the window. Later, Pooh stares out the window of his house, worrying about Tigger.]
Pooh: Poor Tigger, all alone in the cold. He must be very sad… and perhaps lost. And maybe even a bit… (his stomach growls) hungry.
[He checks the cupboard, only to find empty honey pots.]
Pooh: Bother.
[?]
Roo: Pooh, you gotta help me find Tigger. It's all my fault. He never would have left if it wasn't 'cause of me. I didn't mean to make him feel bad. I just-- I-l just wanted him to-- to be my big brother.
Pooh: Oh. Oh.
Roo: We gotta go find him. We just gotta.
Pooh: And so we will. What we need is– think, think, think– an exposition.
Roo: An expotition?
Pooh: Yes. To the place where Tigger is. Or was. Or will be? I believe Rabbit should lead us.
Roo: Rabbit?
Pooh: Oh, yes. He's the only one who ever says he knows what he's doing.
[?]
Rabbit: Absolutely not. I mean, uh– Well, after all, he, uh– I-It was not, uh, my– he, um-- He wanted to leave, uh, didn't he?
Pooh: But, Rabbit--
[?]
Pooh: He could always give that extra little push… when you needed it.
[?]
Rabbit: Oh, thank you, Roo.
Piglet: I-It was n-nice to have him here when things were fr-frightful.
Eeyore: Sort of lit up the room when he came in.
Rabbit: Uh, well, uh-- Y-- Well-- What do you need, uh, me for? Why don't you, uh, go find him yourselves?
Pooh: But we're just not clever enough, Rabbit.
Roo: Rabbit. (sniffs) I miss him.
Rabbit: Well, l, uh, oh-- Oh, very well.
[?]
The Gang: Tigger! Tigger! Tigger!
Rabbit: Now, now, uh, careful, everyone. It's a bit windy!
Piglet: Are you all right, Eeyore? Eeyore? Oh! Oh, d-d-dear! Help! Ooh!
Pooh: Uh, we must take care… to stick together. Perhaps not this stuck, Piglet.
Piglet: P-P-P-Pardon me, P-Pooh.
The Gang: Tigger! Tigger! Tigger!
Eeyore: Where are ya?
The Gang: Tigger! 
[Fade back to Tigger walking through the snow.]
Tigger: Tiggers! Tiggers! Where are you, tiggerseses? I-- I hope they're all okay. Tiggers! Tiggers!
[?]
Tigger: (gasps) The biggest, hugest… and most gigantical, stripedy tree… in all the entire Hundred Acre Woodses! Is it-- Is it– My family tree! My family tree! I found it. I found it. I can't believe it! Hello! Hello up there! Where are you, tiggers? It's me, Tigger! Hello! Hello, family! I got your letter, and-- and I came to see ya! Hello! Hello? Hello? Maybe they forgot I was comin'. But… I thought-- I thought you were always there for me.
[?]
The Gang: Tigger! Tigger! Tigger!
Pooh: Where are you, Tigger?
Piglet: T-Tig-- g-g-g-er!
[?]
Piglet: Oh, th-th-th-th-than– th-th-th-th-th--
Rabbit: Oh, you're-- you're welcome.
Roo: Tigger!
[?]
Roo: (reads the letter) "Dear Tigger."
[?]
Roo: Tigger? Is that you? Tigger! Tigger, it's me, Roo! Down here!
Rabbit: Oh, Tigger. Thank goodness.
The Gang: Tigger! Tigger! Tigger!
Tigger: What? Hello? Did s– (gasps) Could it be?
Rabbit: Tigger, look. Tigger, down here. 
Tigger: It looks like the whole family is finally here! I'm comin', tiggers!
[He leaps down, only to find out it was his friends, not his family.]
Tigger: Hey, you're not Tiggers. 
Winnie the Pooh: It's so wonderful to see you. 
Tigger: What are you guyses doing 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: Nonsense? No! 
[?]
Rabbit: Are you... Are you crazy? It's not safe out here. 
Tigger: Exactakly! 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! 
[?]
Piglet: Is that a rumbly in your tumbly, Pooh?
Winnie the Pooh: I don't think so, Piglet.
[?]
Tigger: Come on, hurry up. No time for dawdling. Not a second to waste. 
[?]
Tigger: Watch yourself there, Roo boy. Take care, Pooh bear! Don't be scared, Piglet. Up ya go, donkey boy!
Rabbit: Help! Oh, no, no!
[?]
Roo: Tigger!
Rabbit: Oh, no! Oh!
Roo: The Whoop-de-Dooper, Loop-de-Looper, Ali-Ooper Bounce. The more you try, the more you fly. And that's what really counts!
[?]
Roo: Tigger! Tigger! Wake up, Tigger! Wake up!
[?]
Roo: Tigger?
Tigger: Yes!
[They climb down the tree.]
Rabbit: We're alive!
Piglet: You saved him, Roo.
Pooh: That was just wonderful, Roo.
Rabbit: Oh, Roo, that was very brave.
Eeyore: Hooray.
Tigger: What a Whoop-de-Doopin', Loop-de-Loopin' Ali-Oopin' Bounce that was!
Roo: It was, wasn't it? I mean, I really did it, didn't l?
Tigger: Did ya? Come here, you. Why, that bounce was just as good as any old tigger fa– Tigger… family member.
Roo: Tigger? Please don't go.
Owl: There they are! We found them! We found them! There's Tigger!
Kanga: Roo! 
Roo: Mama! Mama! 
Kanga: Oh, Roo, we've been searching all over for you. Oh, Roo, dear, I was so worried. 
Roo: I'm sorry, Mama. I'm all right. 
Kanga: Oh, my little Roo. 
Christopher Robin: (in the distance) Pooh Bear! Pooh Bear! 
Winnie the Pooh: (recognizes the voice) Christopher Robin. 
Christopher Robin: Pooh Bear! Pooh! There you are! Silly old bear. 
Owl: Oh, my! 
Piglet: Christopher Robin! 
Eeyore: Nice to see you. 
Christopher Robin: Where have you all been? 
Winnie the Pooh: We were looking for Tigger looking for Tigger's family. 
Christopher Robin: Tigger's family? You didn't have to go looking for them.
Tigger: But I got a letter and it said that... That... It was right... I musta lost it in the avalanchee. I can't even remember the words.
Owl: [reciting the letter] Dear Tigger, just a note to say:...
Kanga: ...dress warmly...
Winnie the Pooh: ...eat well...
Piglet: ...stay safe and sound...
Eeyore: ...keep smiling...
Roo: We're always there for you.
Owl: Signed...
Everyone: Your family. 
Tigger: You mean, you fellas are my family? 
Winnie the Pooh: I'm afraid we have nothing better to offer. 
Tigger: Well, of course not, Pooh Boy. Because there's nothin' better than the best! I shoulda seen it all along.
[Everybody walks back to the Hundred Acre Wood.]
Owl: Spotted you a mile away! 
Eeyore: Oh, it was very frightening. 
Roo: And then the whole mountain came down on top of us, but Tigger saved us. 
Winnie the Pooh: I wasn't worried at all. Except for the part where I was worried, of course.
[?]
Tigger: Ahem, ahoom and et cetera. In honour of this most occasional occasion... my firs test ever family reunitin'... I'd like to present each ofya with a present! Firs test, for Eeyore! A new family room for your lovely home.
Eeyore: Seems kind of big. Bit on the comfy side. Not very drafty. But I suppose I'll get used to it.
[?]
Rabbit: I love parties so much.
Tigger: And for Pooh boy, enough honey to last all winter. Or till next Thursday anyways.
Pooh: Why, thank you, Tigger. It looks good enough to eat.
Tigger: And for Piglet, old pal, a winter's worth of firewood. Keep warm.
Piglet: Oh, thank you, Tigger!
Tigger: Well, you're very welcome. I think I'll eat a piece myself. (to Rabbit) And for you, long ears, I promise from now on... I'll always watch where I'm bouncin'.

Roo: Is it really for me, Tigger?
Tigger: Only the best for my bestest little brother. Wait halfa minute. We still need a family portrait to put in it.

Christopher Robin: Look this way, everybody. Closer. Smile.
