Trivia

Tiggerisms

Tigger is very definite about a great number of things:

"Iceskating! That's what Tiggers do best!"

"Honey! That's what Tiggers like best!"

"Yech! Tiggers *don't* like honey!"

"Tiggers don't jump they *bounce*!"

Tigger always refers to "tiggerS" (plural) but he is the only one!

ABCs

Although at the end of the movie, the narrator says that the animals don't understand what "ABCs" are, most of the characters can read, write or spell (at least somewhat):

Pooh says to Christopher Robin, "I think the bees S-U-S-P-E-C-T something."

Piglet has a sign outside his house that he points out, correctly, as reading "TRESSPASSERS WILL".

Eeyore points to the damages sign, which, after a storm, reads "TRESSPASSERS WIL" and says "W-O-L, that spells 'Owl'" (Owl replies, "Bless my soul, so it does!"

Piglet writes a message in a bottle, (in which he stutters) "Help!!! P-p-p-iglet (ME)"

Pooh's honey jars are all labelled.

Rabbit labels his garden vegetables, "Kerits", etc.

Tigger spells his name, to which Rabbit replies "Don't spell it, don't spell it!"

The Book

The movie is, of course, based on the Pooh books, and several of the characters in the movie are aware of this:

Tigger says "I almost bounced clear out of the book!", and "Who are you?" to the narrator.

Gopher: "He's sailing clear out of the book! Quick turn the page!"
