Tigger is a fictional tiger-like character originally introduced in A.

Like other Pooh characters, Tigger is based on one of Christopher Robin Milne's stuffed animals.

So, is Tigger really a fictional tiger or a tigger?

One debate from votes of many fans of the Winnie The Pooh have decided fairly that Tigger is indeed a Tigger, not a Tiger.

Tigger is bottom left.

Most of the rest of that chapter is taken up with the characters ' search for a food that Tigger can eat for breakfast-despite Tigger's claims to like " everything ", it is quickly proven he does not like honey, acorns, thistles, or most of the contents of Kanga's larder.

Tigger also interacts enthusiastically with all the other characters — sometimes too enthusiastically for the likes of Rabbit, who is sometimes exasperated by Tigger's constant bouncing, Eeyore, who is once bounced into the river by Tigger, and Piglet, who always seems a little nervous about the new, large, bouncy animal in the Forest.

In addition to chapter II, Tigger also appears in chapters IV, VI, VII, and X of The House at Pooh Corner, and is mentioned in several others.

Though Tigger is described by Rabbit and Piglet as " large ", he does not seem particularly big in the illustrations.

Pooh states once " He always seems bigger because of his bounces ", implying that the other animals think of Tigger as being larger than he truly is.

Tigger also says Tiggers " never get lost "; unlike most of his other claims, this one seems to be true-he is able to find his way through the Forest even in a thick mist, despite Rabbit's attempts to lose him.

The term " Tigger " is used instead, both as the character's name and as a description of his type of animal.

Since 1990, he has been voiced by Jim Cummings ( who is also the voice of Pooh ), with the exception of Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin ( 1997 ), A Winnie the Pooh Thanksgiving ( 1998 ), and Winnie the Pooh: A Valentine For You ( 1999 ), in which Winchell reprised the role of Tigger.

According to the song, Tigger is " the only one " — a fact that leads to his search for his family in The Tigger Movie.

Tigger is always filled with great energy and optimism, and though always well-meaning, he can also be mischievous, and his actions have sometimes led to chaos and trouble for himself and his friends.

When Tigger introduces himself, he often says the proper way to spell his name is: " T-I -' Double -/ G /'- Er ( T-i-gg-er ), which spells ' Tigger '".

In The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Tigger is often well-meaning but usually does more harm than good.

" The bouncy toy-tiger character of Tigger is not introduced until the sequel, The House at Pooh Corner.

The series departs from many of the established facts of Milne's books ; for example, Tigger resides in the Hundred Acre Wood from the start, and Kanga and Roo are later introduced as newcomers.

Chapter 2 was also released from Disney as a book, under the title " Winnie the Pooh meets Tigger ".

He has voiced Piglet in Kingdom Hearts II, Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie ( only for the newest material since much of the dialogue is still voiced by Fielder ) the My Friends Tigger & Pooh television series, and the 2011 film Winnie the Pooh.

" It was given as a " strengthening medicine " by Kanga to Roo and Tigger in The House at Pooh Corner.

No other " Tiggers " appear in the story, and at one point Tigger ( who has just seen his reflection in a mirror and mistaken it for another individual ) comments he thought he was the only one.

On at least three occasions, he has nearly fallen off a cliff, and has fallen two of those times, to retrieve something important ( Half of the map in Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin, his locket in The Tigger Movie, and a page of Piglet's scrapbook in Piglet's Big Movie ).

Tigger also appears in the Disney cartoon versions of the Winnie-the-Pooh stories, beginning with Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day in 1968.

Also, Will Ryan voiced Tigger in the Disney Channel program Welcome to Pooh Corner.

In The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and subsequent cartoons, Tigger lives in a large treehouse.

In one episode, he invented a bulldozer-like contraption intended to provide convenience for Pooh, Piglet, and Rabbit, but the invention proved to have disastrous results, and Rabbit insisted that Tigger shut it down ; however, in the winter, a depressed Tigger accidentally started the machine up, and it proved to be useful by plowing snow around Piglet's house before malfunctioning.

In response, Pooh, Rabbit, Gopher, and Owl ( unaware that the Masked Offender was actually Tigger ) staged a hoax in which they made an inanimate monster from a sticky glue-like material.

The plan worked, revealing Tigger as the Masked Offender, but the fake monster ( which was on wheels ) turned on its makers, ultimately resulting in Pooh, Rabbit, Gopher, and Owl hanging by the glue from a rickety bridge.

However, on Tigger-related merchandise, Disney often indicates Tigger's birthyear as 1968, a reference to the first year Tigger appeared in a Disney production, Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day.

* Tigger has appeared in the Mad episode " Pooh Grit " ( a parody of True Grit ), where Christopher Robin hires Marshall Pooh to capture Tigger after he bounced his father.
