The story: despite years of taking pride in the fact that "the most wonderful thing about Tiggers" is that he's "the only one," Tigger decides to seek out his blood relatives. The search goes poorly and his friends start lying to him like crazy in a misguided bit of comforting, but after the deception is revealed he still decides, predictably, that they have been his true family all along.
This picture book adaptation pares the words down to a minimum -- which is nice in picture books, as too many authors feel the need to plaster them with text -- but still manages to effectively convey the heart and tone of the story in a fun way. Well done!
Side note: There are several distinct adaptations of The Tigger Movie. Several of the adaptations like this one have different text for the story but use the same art that is credited in The Tigger Movie (Disney's Songs & Story) (ISBN 0763406007) as, "Illustrated by the storybook artists at Disney Publishing Creative Development," with art direction by David Braucher. It was an added bonus to reading this book to compare it to that one (which I'll officially read in a few days) and compare how the designer of this one chopped, cropped, photoshopped, and flipped the images which were apparently all drawn originally as big horizontal rectangles but now fit in a variety of shapes and spaces.
The actual movie credits: directed by Jun Falkenstein; story by Eddie Guzelian; screenplay by Jun Falkenstein; based on characters by A. A. Milne.
(My Pooh Project: I love Winnie the Pooh, and so does my wife. Having a daughter gave us a chance to indoctrinate her into the cult by buying and reading her every Pooh book we came across. How many is that? I’m going to count them this year by reading and reviewing one every day and seeing which month I finally run out. Track my progress here:
