What do you think about the incident with tigger hitting the kid at Disneyland? To be honest I saw the video and it looked like to me that the kid was reaching behind to try and unzip tiggers suit. I think that tigger was just trying to push him away to make him stop. I believe that tigger was in the right. The boy said that tigger hit him hard but it looked more like a push to me and I do believe that the kid was up to no good. Let's see if all of a sudden the kid sues for mental distress.

It did look like more of a push, but in either case, Tigger should NOT have acted the way he did. He is a cast member at Disney and I'm sure he will be fired. I worked at Disney and there's no way that they would put up with the way he acted, whether provoked or not.

I agree with you but to be honest I don't think that he really meant to do physical violence but he did. I think firing him would go too far, maybe a suspension or something.

I saw the video and it really doesn't look like Tigger punched him as the father of the kid claims. The teenager had ahold of Tigger from the back, and it looks like the guy in the costume lost his balance. Whether the boy intended to cause trouble with the character or not is hard to tell. I saw the "Early Show" interview with the kid, the dad and their lawyer. The dad said he had to take the boy to the hospital! What a joke! I think the family (mom/dad) saw an opportunity to make a little money, so decided to pursue the incident. Look at the video if you can. It really all looks pretty innocent to me.

I agree with you 100 percent. It seems that now a days people look for every opportunity to make a little cash. Unfortunately some people don't care who they hurt or how wrong it is to do it.

The kid was in his teens mind you. He should have known better and acted appropriately. There are younger kids there that believe that is tigger and would be very dissappointed by this kids prank.
