The Sherman Brothers (THE TIGGER MOVIE, MARY POPPINS, CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG, CHARLOTTE'S WEB) provide a terrifically witty score for this musical retelling of the King Kong story. I had the opportunity of seeing this film in a theatre when it first opened in 1998 and the audience actually laughed out loud at some of the lyrical humor. The ballad, "I've Known You All My Life" is beautiful and may one day be thought of as a classic! Dudley Moore's vocal portrayal of C.B.Denham was terrific-- sadly, it may have been his final performance. He sings in the film as does Jodi Benson (ALADDIN).

The Tigger Movie
(2000)

A gentle metaphor about modern family structure and what really makes a family, THE TIGGER MOVIE is a heartfelt, beautiful film well in the tradition of Walt Disney. It marks a return of The Sherman Brothers to Disney. This is their first feature film with the company in nearly 30 years. BEDKNOBS AND BROOMSTICKS (1971) starred Angela Lansbury and won the Shermans two Oscar Nominations for Best Song and Best Song Score. There is already Oscar talk about three songs: "The Whope-Dee-Dooper Bounce" "Tigger's Family Tree" and the haunting end title piece: "Your Heart Will Lead You Home" which was sung and co-composed by Kenny Loggins. Jim Cummings provided the voices of both Tigger and Winnie The Pooh. The film was produced by Cheryl Abood and directed by Jun Falkenstein.
