Tigger & Pooh and a Musical Too is a 2009 American direct-to-video animated musical film produced by Walt Disney Television Animation. The film is based on the hit Playhouse Disney series My Friends Tigger & Pooh . [2] In the film, Darby, Tigger and Pooh make a musical concert for the Hundred Acre Wood.

Contents

The film, which is the second film of the series, was released on DVD on April 7, 2009. It first aired on Playhouse Disney less than a week later on April 11. Unlike the Super Sleuth Christmas Movie , it was treated more like a regular film than as part of the series.

Plot

Rabbit is named the first mayor of the Hundred Acre Wood for his great effort on planning their best friends picnic. Unfortunately, when Darby says that a mayor is in charge of everything, this goes to his head and he makes up a lot of rules, like "No Bouncing," "No Honey," and everything is by a schedule. By and by everyone gets annoyed by the new rules and finally when everyone (especially Tigger) can't follow the rules, Rabbit and Beaver, who becomes the vice-mayor, gives Tigger a break of bouncing, and no honey for Pooh, but it doesn't work making Rabbit upset. Rabbit then decided that Tigger can be mayor on his half of the wood, while Rabbit continues being mayor on his side.

He has Beaver paint a white line down the middle of the Hundred Acre Wood and even divides Piglet's house in two. The problem is that the white line separates the people on each side from their friends. Everyone, except Darby and Buster, is to stay on their side which results to problems and chaos. Tigger and Pooh can no longer sleuth, Roo and Lumpy can't visit each other, Tigger can no longer be friends with Roo and Rabbit, and goods, supplies and materials can't be traded (which means no thistles for Eeyore and no cookies made by Kanga). Rabbit sees the sadness and decides to cheer everyone up by having a picnic on his side and Tigger does the same. But the picnics are no fun due to everyone being separated especially trying to sing a song. After a storm hits and everyone feeling overwhelmed and sad for not being able to see each other because of the line, Darby hatches a plan to reunite the Hundred Acre Wood and have everything go back to normal, and it worked. Rabbit and Tigger, having seen the error of their ways, both step down from being mayor and order Beaver to remove the white line, restoring peace to the Hundred Acre Wood.
