Go To

Tigger invents a machine that clears snow and does many other things. Unfortunately, his invention seems to do more harm than good.


This episode provides examples of:

  • Actor Allusion: Tigger's voice actor Paul Winchell was also an inventor – his inventions included an artificial heart, a flameless cigar lighter, and single-use shaving razors, though not a snow-shoveling machine.
  • Big Damn Heroes: When Piglet is snowed in, Tigger kicks his invention out of frustration, sending it towards Piglet's house and clearing the snow away.
  • Bungling Inventor: Tigger definitely becomes one here.
  • Department of Redundancy Department: After spending almost an entire year inventing something, Tigger comes out to announce, "My invention has been invented!"
  • Heroic RRoD: In the end, Tigger's invention falls apart after it uses up all its strength clearing away the snow from Piglet's house.
  • Malaproper: When showing his upgraded invention, Tigger says "Behold the dawning of a new error!"
  • Mook Maker: Tigger's invention ends up building a trio of pumpkin-headed robots that cause even more trouble.
