Today marks two special Winnie the Pooh anniversaries. First, it's the fifth anniversary of Pooh's Heffalump Movie which was released in 2005. Second, today is the tenth anniversary of The Tigger Movie, the first theatrical Pooh sequel movie from 2000!
There are a few important milestones associated with The Tigger Movie. Thoughout the late 80s and all of the 90s, Paul Winchell, the original voice of Tigger, was sharing the role with Jim Cummings. They would alternate episodes in The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, and in Seasons for Giving Winchell provided Tigger's voice while Cummings provided Tigger's singing voice. The Tigger Movie is Cumming's first work as the official voice of Tigger. (Cummings had already been the official voice of Winnie the Pooh since 1988).
Also, The Tigger Movie sees the return of the Sherman Brothers who had not worked for Disney in 28 years! The Sherman Brothers wrote all of the music for the original Pooh movies in the 60s, including The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers, which serves as the basis of this movie.
The Shermans co-wrote Your Heart Will Lead You Home with Kenny Loggins which is played over the credits of the movie. It is a fantastic song and one that I hope will become a modern Disney classic, like I'll Try and When She Loved Me.
This song was covered in 2001 by eurobeat artist MATT LAND and can be found on EUROBEAT DISNEY PRESENTS WINNIE THE POOH
. As far as eurobeat covers go, this one is pretty good. The quality of the song shines through all the electronic noises.
