Anyone who knows me knows that my all-time favorite Disney character is Winnie the Pooh. For as long as I can remember, I've loved the silly old bear and his dear friends. So it is with great sadness that I share the following news with those of you who haven't heard yet:
Both Paul Winchell, the voice of Tigger, and John Fiedler, the voice of Piglet, passed away over the weekend.
Though both men had many other memorable roles, they will always be remembered as the cuddly creatures from the Hundred Acre Wood.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Winchell.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Fiedler.
You will remain alive in the hearts of children forever.
The wonderful thing about Tiggers,
Is Tiggers are wonderful things!
Their tops are made out of rubber,
And their bottoms are made out of springs!
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy,
Full of fun, fun, fun!
The most wonderful thing about Tiggers is,
I'm the only one!"
Oh, the wonderful thing about Tiggers is,
Tiggers are wonderful chaps.
They're loaded with vim and vigor.
They love to leap in your lap.
They're jumpy, bumpy, clumpy, thumpy,
Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun!
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is...
III'm the only one!
~Tigger
"What would I do," I said to Pooh,
"if it wasn't for you?"
And Pooh said, "True."
~Piglet
Sorry to Pooh and his friends.
