Watched online; visually ok, but even with sound at max on Chromebook, it was not really loud enough.

7 songs in the Soundtracks, all Music and Lyrics by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman, who mostly wrote for Disney in the 60s and 70s.

UGH. Kiddie Korn, and it feels old-fashioned, in story, animation and songs. It really didn't engage me, and my attention really strayed about 1/3rd in.

No, the Tigger voice is not Paul Winchell here. But sounds plenty like him, by design, but to my annoyance.

IMDb trivia: "Stayed on American screens for 23 weeks."

Spoiler alert: his family turn out to be the other toys and owner Christopher Robbin. The End.

I find it interesting that the not-so-visible pirate Disney animation site doesn't have this film.

Rated: 6.3 (15,251)
