Tigger is a fictional tiger character originally introduced in A. A. Milne's book The House at Pooh Corner.
He is easily recognized by his orange and black stripes, beady eyes, a long chin, a springy tail, and his bouncy personality.
As he says himself, "Bouncing is what Tiggers do best." Like other Pooh characters,
Tigger is based on one of Christopher Robin Milne's stuffed animals.

Tigger is introduced in Chapter II of House at Pooh Corner, when he shows up on Winnie-the-Pooh's doorstep in the middle of the night,
announcing himself with a big bounce.
Most of the rest of that chapter is taken up with the characters' search for a food that Tigger can eat for breakfast .
Despite Tigger's claims to like "everything", it is quickly proven he does not like honey,
acorns, thistles, or most of the contents of Kanga's pantry.
In a happy coincidence, however, he discovers what Tiggers really like best is extract of malt.

 

From that point on, Tigger lives with Kanga and Roo in their house in the northeastern part of the Hundred Acre Wood near the Sandy Pit.
He becomes great friends with Roo, and Kanga treats him in much the same way she does her own son.
Tigger also interacts enthusiastically with all the other characters — sometimes too enthusiastically for the likes of Rabbit
, who sometimes seems exasperated by Tigger's constant bouncing,who is once bounced into the river by Tigger, and Piglet
, who always seems a little nervous about the new, large, bouncy animal in the Forest.
Nonetheless, the animals are all shown to be friends.
Tigger is a rash and bouncy animal.
He has the tendency to chance things without thinking.
Bouncing get Tigger often in trouble.
T - I - Double GG - ER.
He looks a bit as a tiger, but he is very friendly. And most wonderful thing is "He is the only one".

Tigger also appears in the Disney cartoon versions of the Winnie-the-Pooh stories, beginning with Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day in 1968.
He has even starred in his own film, The Tigger Movie Disney, 2000), along with his friends from the Hundred Acre Wood.
Tigger was originally voiced by Paul Winchell. Since 1990, he has been voiced by Jim Cummings (who is also the voice of Pooh),
with the exception of Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin (1997), in which Winchell reprised the role of Tigger one more time.
On June 24, 2005, Winchell died; John Fiedler, the voice of Piglet in some of those films, died the next day.
In the movies, Tigger has his own theme song, "The Wonderful Thing about Tiggers".
The music for it was written by Richard M. Sherman, with lyrics by Robert B. Sherman.

An interesting quirk about Tigger is that, according to his theme song, "the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is (he's) the only one."
This song leads to his search for his family in The Tigger Movie.
In The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and subsequent cartoons, Tigger lives in a large treehouse.
A tire swing hangs prominently from a branch of the tree.
In The Tigger Movie, Tigger builds a makeshift addition (gluing the shingles on with honey) in anticipation of a hoped-for visit by members of his family.
This "family room" is eventually relocated to serve as a replacement for Eeyore's collapse-prone house of sticks.
The Disney version of Tigger was featured in both the TV special Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue and the TV series House of Mouse.
