Fridge Brilliance:
- When Tigger is getting everyone to safety during the avalanche, where does he put them? His family tree!
- Pooh and his friends, including Tigger, are toys owned by Christopher Robin. So they really are Tigger's family (similar to how pets or adopted children might be considered part of a family).
- Some have complained that the scenes early in the movie when Pooh, Piglet, and Eeyore are looking for Tigger's family are simply filler to pad out the movie, but as it turns out, those scenes aren't filler. They're demonstrating the theme of the movie by showing that Tigger's friends are willing to go out of their way to help him find his family at the expense of their preparations for winter. And while the Lullabee sequence may seem like a Big-Lipped Alligator Moment at first, it's not. Because immediately after the song it shows that when Pooh gets distracted by Hunny, his friends will wait and make sure he's all right rather than going off to continue the search for Tigger's family without him.
- Kanga and Roo were Put on the Bus during the period that Pooh's Grand Adventure was made, which deconstructed a lot of the main cast's defining characteristics. This film therefore makes up for lost time and does so for them, both Kanga's motherly nature and Roo's idolisation of Tigger lead them to spearhead a well meaning plan to make him feel better, but are left shattered when it eventually explodes as an overblown lie and leaves Tigger feeling betrayed and even more lost and upset than before. Roo even undergoes a Heroic BSoD that is on level with those of the other characters in the former film.
- Also tied into Pooh's Grand Adventure, Pooh pretty much instantly decides Rabbit should be leader for their search. Why? Because he witnessed Rabbit evolve into a competent leader and seemingly find Christopher Robin for everyone in the last film.
- Kanga, Owl and Christopher Robin's gifts from Tigger seem like more amorphous knick knacks than the others' that have a more personal touch. However all three are generally the parental figures to Tigger and the others throughout the series, the ones supervising while everyone else has fun. Tigger giving them toys, giving them leisure for a change, is a humanizing gesture.
Fridge Horror
- Tigers are nearly extinct in real life as well, especially certain subspecies of them.
- "But the most wonderful thing about tiggers is I'm the only one"...left?
