Tigger Accused of smacking a young child.

[Wizard69]

Looks to me like he was trying to undress Tigger (based on where his arm is and the position of his arm).

from what i could see, it looks like the kid in question was leaning on tigger too hard and tigger lost his balence
(and since he didn't have time to allow his tail to become springy and bounce back up :D: ) he had to turn and face the kid for support. his head was the thing that kept tigger from falling.

and i just looked at it again, and i do indeed see the kid not letting go and his arm bulging. he was probably grabbing onto the costume or clawing at tigger's back or something.
tigger should claim self-defense!!! :D:

That kid looked like he was up to no good. He looks as if he is hanging onto Tigger and wasn't going to let him go. I am sure the investigation will prove that Tigger didn't do anything. I understand why the CM did it after reading posts here and other places about kids hitting, chasing, and pushing characters in big costumes. I agree with self-defense and think the family is a little crazy.

If they were so angry about the Tigger incident why did they send the two younger ones back to get more pictures? Wouldn't they be afraid of Tigger hitting the smaller ones too?

Reminds me of years ago (like 1976) when my brother pulled Eeyore's tail. Eeyore swatted him, and my siblings and I cheered. Parents said it served him right, and he'd better behave!

Heck, yes, it's obvious the kid (and they should say teenager because he's no little child) is up to something. The look on his face tells it all.

Another idiot SG (the father) looking to stick his hands in the deep pockets of Disney.

Thanks to Darwin Families like this one and the phony molestation idiot, I forsee the day when character interactions will be a thing of the past. You'll get to wave to them from behind an electric fence with barbed wire topping (not a simple rope, because of course all good Darwins know that ropes were mean to be hopped over, under, etc., not as a barrier).

WHOA,I just perused polar33s link. This is no 'young' child.To me a young child is 5-8yrs old. This 'kid' looks like a teen to me,( I may be wrong) . Other than that " Good F-in luck, Mr.what-ever-your name is". ;)

Here's a link to actual incident report. Tigger says he was knocked off balance becuase the teen pulled on the costume! Intentional or not the little shit deserves it!
Imagine what he could have done!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ch2MJAQ5vac

That kid looks SO guilty in the video interview. He went to the hospital for a sore neck...You SURE it wasn't from your ride on star tours or tower earlier that day? Oops...maybe theyll sue for that instead :mad:
I hope that Disney stands strong against this. I do agree with suspending the CM however...as long as he is re-instated and compensated with backpay and his seniority intact. It lets the public rest knowing the CM is not inside the tigger they're seeing, allowing the guests to be less likely to try and claim another incedent assuming its the same CM.

BTW Jerry....thats a soft, padded SLAP, not a suckerpunch. Go back to your meds for your "sore neck"
