It featured the voices of Sterling Holloway as Winnie the Pooh, Paul Winchell as Tigger, John Fiedler as Piglet, Timothy Turner as Christopher Robin, Dori Whitaker as Roo, Barbara Luddy (in her final film role) as Kanga, Junius Matthews (in his final film role) as Rabbit, and Sebastian Cabot as Mr. Narrator.




Plot


During the fall, Rabbit becomes fed up with Tigger bouncing on everyone for fun, so he meets with Pooh and Piglet and comes up with a plan: the three of them will take Tigger on a long walk in the forest, abandon him, and find him the next day, in the hopes that he will stop bouncing on his friends unexpectedly.
Pooh, Piglet, and Rabbit execute the plan the next morning, and while they manage to lose Tigger, things soon go wrong when the three get lost and are unable to find their way home. After Rabbit separates from Pooh and Piglet due to a disagreement on how to escape, the latter two manage to find their way out of the forest on their own before running into Tigger, who had already found his way out. Upon learning from Pooh and Piglet that Rabbit is still in the forest, Tigger returns to rescue Rabbit and lead him out of the forest, much to the latter's humiliation.
Sometime later, on the first day of winter, Tigger arrives at Kanga and Roo's house so he and Roo can spend some time together. As they travel through the forest, Tigger and Roo decide to bounce up to the top of a tall tree, which they succeed in doing, but upon reaching the top, Tigger becomes too frightened to come down. Pooh and Piglet soon discover Tigger and Roo in the tree and recruit Christopher Robin, Kanga, and Rabbit to help get them down. Roo manages to make it down safely by jumping on Christopher Robin's coat, but a still-frightened Tigger refuses to jump and promises never to bounce again should he be released from his predicament, thrilling Rabbit. To help Tigger, the Narrator tips over the book to allow Tigger to slide down the book unharmed.
Tigger's joy to be back on the ground turns into depression when Rabbit reminds him of his promise. Feeling sorry for Tigger, his friends remind Rabbit of the joy Tigger had brought with his bouncing, causing Rabbit to realize his selfishness and take back the promise they had agreed on. An overjoyed Tigger then invites everyone to bounce with him, much to the joy of everyone, including Rabbit.
