I saw this on TV the other night but to me it looks as if the kid was doing something behind poor tiggers back!!! :o As usual the parents of this kid are all over the news and not happy with the park but SWEAR it wasn't their kids fault. I have been to disney on a number of vacations and never had a problem .  Hey Wade how about you ?? Your always there any problems ?? I wouldn't think so .

amen

what a dork.  The video shows clear as day the kid tugging on the back of tiggers head.  He has to swing around to get him off before the kid pulls him backwards.  And honestly, did the hit really look that hard?  From a SOFT plush tiger paw LOL

jerks - Doesn't the news think there is a reason why Tigger won't apologize?

sigh, this makes headline news

As a former-Tigger, I can tell you...

After seeing the video several times, I can see that the "kid" was actually pulling on Tigger's upper-back. There are only two things there: A zipper, and Neck-cowel.

The first, well, we know why Tigger would want to protect that.

The second, if pulled, severely chokes the performer.

Furthermore, Tigger's hand came up as a reaction, unknowingly, he "brushes" the kids face -not punching him as the accusations imply. I know the sight-lines in that costume, there is no way Tigger was aiming for the kid, it was a reaction only.

That's the news. Good luck, Tigger!!!

It's a shame about that. I can't believe how those parents reacted to this and I can't believe all the media this thing attracted.

That kid probably deserved at least a push...you can't physically hurt a costumed character. That's a no-no. From the looks of it, especially in the news vid, the kid and the dad were hiding back smiles as they complained of neck pain ::). Jerks.

Tigger should have called in the Heffalumps and Woozles on this kid.

"we just want tigger to come out and apologize..."

Translates to:

"we just want Disney to give us a free stay..."
