Tigger attack, or brat kid?

Ghoulish Delight · 01-08-2007, 09:57 AM

Hmm, what exactly are we seeing in this video?

http://www.nbc4.tv/news/10694676/detail.html

I've watched it a few times. It looks to me like Tigger is reacting to something the kid is doing with his left hand as he puts it around Tigger's shoulders. And the "hit" seems to be a miner accidental brush of the face was Tigger turns to stop the brat from pinching him, or whatever he was doing.

Considering the stories I've heard, it's a wonder we don't hear about more of these punks getting the back of a furry hand to the head.

Brat kid.

Add to that, how awkward it must be in that costume and what could the Tigger actually see? The 'slap' is more like an accident swap of the hand.

Brat kid, no doubt. Can anyone read what logo is on his t-shirt? I can't make it out...

Why is it always Tigger that gets in trouble? And yeah, totally not Tigger's fault.

Majorly brat kid, although he looks like a teen to me. It definitely looks like Tigger is reacting to something we can't see behind his back. Poor Tigger!

Brat kid perhaps...or set up by the whole family. The Dads reaction on the video seems a tad staged to me.

I don't have sound at work, so I haven't heard dad's reaction.

It looked like a defensive move by Tigger to me. Notice how he immobilized the kids (probably) offending arm before cuffing the head. It didn't even look like he hit very hard. The teen wasn't moved very far backwards. Plus, he's got those squishy paws. Not that I think Tigger did the most appropriate thing. I'm sure costumed characters have to deal with worse than a pinch behind the back, or whatever, but he or she was probably caught off guard and reacted without thinking.

Is it possible the kid was trying to undo the costume? That would make a bratty kid-approved photo moment...
