Did you know?!Facts and trivia about The Tigger Movie (2000)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Paul Winchell, the original voice of Tigger, was cast as Tigger when the film was titled Winnie the Pooh and the Family Tree and recorded one session in the spring of 1998, but the studio dropped him after finding his voice too raspy; the role went to Jim Cummings, who was already voicing Winnie the Pooh for the film.
- Robert and Richard Sherman wrote the film's songs, their first feature for Disney in over 28 years, since the Oscar-nominated Bedknobs and Broomsticks of 1971, and The Tigger Movie turned out to be the last film work the Sherman Brothers did.
- The film's story grew out of the Sherman Brothers song "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers", written in 1968 for the featurette Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day: its punch line, "But the most wonderful Thing About Tiggers is I'm the only one...", provided the basis of the plot.
- The Tigger Movie was slated for video or television release until Disney CEO Michael Eisner heard the demo cut of the score and liked it so much that the project was moved up to a theatrical release.
- "Your Heart Will Lead You Home" was the last song written for the film, a collaboration between the Sherman Brothers and singer Kenny Loggins, and it marks the only time the three of them worked together on a song.
