History WesternAnimation / TheTiggerMovie

* AnAesop: Family isn't just about who you're related to; it's about who cares about you.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Not to the level of WesternAnimation/PoohsGrandAdventure, but still. It addresses the unfortunate implications of Tigger being the LastOfHisKind, talks about loneliness, depression, and the virtue of family, and even has the title character [[spoiler:''nearly get killed by an avalanche!'']]

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Rabbit, as usual, can quickly lose his temper with the others and ''especially'' with Tigger, [[spoiler: but he needs surprisingly little persuasion from the others to lead them in finding Tigger, in the middle of the winter blizzard he spent the film worrying about.]]

* IronicEcho: Pooh's "''Lullabee''" song. It would also count as a mild [[ShoutOut shout out]] If you think about it, [[Creator/JimCummings Winnie the Pooh]] [[WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967 is in a tree]], [[HypnoticEyes singing the bees to sleep]], [[ActorAllusion while preparing to eat their honey...]]

* TrueCompanions: The ultimate theme of the movie - Tigger's true family aren't the others of his kind (whether they exist or not), but the dear friends who stood by him no matter what and searched him out in a snowstorm out of concern for his safety. In the end, he realises that this is enough.

* CrisisMakesPerfect: Tigger shows Roo the Whoop-De-Dooper Loop-De-Looper Alley-Ooper bounce. Roo can't do it at first, nor later when he's practicing before bedtime. At the end, he has to do it to save Tigger from an avalanche.

'''Pooh''': [[OhCrap I don't think]] [[NotMeThisTime so, Piglet]].

* GoneHorriblyRight: Tigger using one of those terrific bounces to move the rock off of Eeyore's house not only works, it also destroys Rabbit's contraption and leaves most of the gang covered in mud.

%%* MarilynManeuver: Happens to a Tigger-esque Marilyn {{expy}} in the aforementioned DisneyAcidSequence.

* TranquilFury: Tigger does '''''not''''' take kindly to his friends' trick.

->'''Narrator:''' But his very best friend was a bear, called Winnie-the-Pooh.\\

* TheBusCameBack: Since around the middle of the ''New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh'' series, Kanga and Roo had more or less vanished from the Disney franchise besides a couple minor appearances. This film marked true return as mainstays, with Roo even becoming a more central character from this point.

'''Tigger:''' ''''WINNIE-THE-POOH!?'''' Wait half a darned minute! It seems to me that most of these stories are about that silly old bear.\\

->'''Narrator:''' But his very best friend was a bear, called Winnie-the_Pooh.

->'''Tigger:''' It seems to me that most of these stories are about that silly old bear.\\

-->'''Tigger''': : ''Exac-ti-cally!'' That's why you should all go home, where it ''is'' safe! But I've got to wait here in my family tree for my real family!

'''Pooh''': [[OhCrap I don't think so, Piglet]].

-->'''Tigger:''' Exackatackly nowhere ''per se'', 'cause with us tiggers, you got to read be-twixt the lines.

* OnlySaneMan: Chrisotpher Robin, as the end of the movie shows. When he appears to help find the others in the snow and hears about Tigger's quest, he gently tells him that Tigger's family is right here.

** In this movie, Tigger is incredibly sad about not having a family. Even his uniqueness, one of the things he most proud of, makes him realize that he's the only tigger. Needless to say, Roo wants to make Tigger feel better as soon as possible.

* PunctuatedForEmphasis: "For my! ''Real!'' '''''Family!'''''"
