* Two new Tigger Tales from The Adventures of Winnie The Pooh
* Sorry, we do not know which of the Pooh Adventures TV series these “new Tigger Tales” are from — could be the 1977 series The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh or The New Adventures of Winnie The Pooh which premiered in 1988. (The 10th Anniversary Edition of The Tigger Movie included two cartoons featuring Tigger from the 1988 series.) And we assume by “new” that it refers to new to Blu-Ray, not new animated cartoons created just for this release.
Back in 2009, toonzone.net provided an opportunity for Voice Actors in the News to do a phone interview with Jim Cummings (voice of Tigger and Pooh) to tie in with the release of The Tigger Movie 10th Anniversary Edition DVD, which you can read by clicking here. Excerpts and outtakes from that interview that didn’t make the cut for toonzone were published on our former blog — now archived on voiceactor411.com.
We will finally release the actual audio from Jim’s interview here on voiceactor411.com in the near future.
You can also read a review of The Tigger Movie 10th Anniversary Edition by Ed Liu on toonzone.net.

UPDATE: 1.25.12, 1:05 pm — Our source has clarified exactly how the (tentative) packaging describes the two “new” Tigger cartoons:
– Two Tigger “Tails” From The New Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh:
— “King Of The Beasties”
— “Tigger’s Houseguest”
Sadly, this means neither cartoon is “new” — these are the same two titles included on the 10th Anniversary Edition DVD release of The Tigger Movie.
