http://www.cfnews13.com/News/Local/2007/1/7/tigger_in_trouble_with_the_law.html The Orange County Sheriff's Office is investigating a Disney employee who plays Winnie the Pooh's friend after a New Hampshire family accused him of punching their 14-year-old son at Disney-MGM Studios.
I saw that on the news tonight! I think the kid must have tried SOMETHING like... with his hand behind tiggers back, I think maybe he could of tried to pull a zipper or something? ??? I find it hard to beleive that tigger would attack someone for nothing!
Yeah I saw the clip as well shortly after I posted this, it looked like Tigger was loosing his balance and tried to grab onto something palming the teen in the face.
yeah a bit of a pie face maybe but nothing that'd leave a mark or hurt or anything... Although it's still bad show tho
the boy doesnt look harmed in any way so it cant have been that hard. i dont think it was done on purpose at all.
For those of you that haven't seen it I found an article with the home video. http://www.local6.com/news/10685989/detail.html
lol the radio was talking about that this morning. And the video is on YouTube, too! The cast member is question is suspended (and probably going to be fired). I can't beleive that! To me, it just looked like he was turning around or lost his balance or something. Good thing I'm not in such a huge and bulky costume because I'd probably be batting kids left and right by accident!
If you read the other stories tho the guy in the costumes apparently had problems with guests before, something mentioned about 2 CMs shopping him to security for sexual haressment?
I heard he has been fired and believe me I don't doubt it. While it may not have been his fault, he "ruined" the show and was caught on tape. Disney's pretty strict about things like that.
I don't believe the suggestions that he slipped, but i do think he maybe retaliated to something the kid has done, its just not the best idea to get caught doing it,lol
Assuming I know where he was in the park, I think there's a short half a foot to a foot tall ledge right behind his ankles that he could have tripped over. But why he was stepping I dunno.
simple accident! what do they expect!! that is absolutly right !! the victim is the guy behind the mask!! .terrible, its obvious he didnt do that on purpose!!!! Poor boootiful tigger
LOL!!! This is dumb!! This is just people wanting to steal Disney's money. What’s next? Minnie accused of hugging a kid?
hahaha, i saw the video and for the reaction i tought maybe the boy was trying to unzip the costume or something cuz first he down the arm and turn, like trying to get the boy away of the custome...but maybe cuz im trying to justificated he hahaha... but it doesnt seem like he do it on porpouse and that he hit him hard! but well
He got him in an arm lock then smacked him in the face,lol, i think it might have been intentional, given the guys record as well! molesting 2 CMs a few months before as well apparently?
can be many things... i just think is stupid! lol, maybe he try to do something fun ald lose control or something..,. i remember a tigger in MGM who was covering my face with my cap since my mom was taking the photo.. and ofcourse later got a good photo with my face lol... maybe was upset cuz my cap was of pooh and not him hahaha...but can be anything... maybe the boy its right..maybe the CM its right... but well is USA oinly there that can be a scandal
