- Akaji, on 10/12/2007, -4/+269Freaking A, the dude in the tigger mask probably couldn't even see where his arm was in relation to the kid and just wanted to move the guy away a bit.
That kid needs to grow some balls. - MyNameIsNotBob, on 10/12/2007, -1/+179It looks like "Tigger" tripped on the curb behind him and was trying to catch his balance before he fell backwards. It didn't look like a punch at all. At worst, he was clumsy. The dad is probably just trying to cash in.
- stlcadet11, on 10/12/2007, -9/+187There's a person inside the costume...!?!?!?
- NtHammer, on 10/12/2007, -6/+145first off, the kid is a pussy "i could feel it through the padding", WTF GROW SOME BALLS KID!
and it looked like it was an accident, i can imagine that inside of those costumes its hard ot know exactly where everytihng is around your body and what not, but because they didnt have the actually guy in the costume talk on the show i cant be sure. - fitzfan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+104Someone needs to punch the Dad and the kid in the face for real, so they know what a real punch feels like... I still cant believe they are serious about that.
- spyder91, on 10/12/2007, -0/+91Uh... the first time I watched it I thought I missed the "punch." It looked about as hard as a light push.
- WillHutch5, on 10/12/2007, -0/+70That kid is the biggest pussy I've ever seen.
Also, that father appears to be a gigantic meat head. - EsotericBoredom, on 10/12/2007, -1/+70I thought punching wussy kids is what Tiggers do best?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+72If that is a hit, then I'm suing Gap.
My Gap shirt hits me everytime I try to put it on.
***** people wanting some money.... That's what this is all about. - tidu, on 10/12/2007, -6/+73It's not like Tigger's a robot or anything... why don't they take off the mask and hear his side of the story?
nvm, forgot that this was the media - lightmywifire, on 10/12/2007, -0/+63Look at Tigger's feet. Looks kinda like he tripped on the curb behind him and tried to get his balance. After he slaps the kid, Tigger nodded at the kid and shook his hand. I call *****. Looks like pops is looking for a new car.
- sockpuppets, on 10/12/2007, -2/+64Ya know life's gotta suck bad enough walking around in a friggin tigger costume, do these people really need to make this guy's life more difficult?
- br549, on 10/12/2007, -0/+56Dad probably didn't think anything about it until he played back the video and saw all the dollar signs.
I hope Tigger sues dad! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+54TIGGA PLEASE...
It seems that being hit by a tigger makes people contract vaginitis. Anyone can tell that was an accident, but I bet the cast member was still fired. - TwoSlick, on 10/12/2007, -1/+52It's pretty obvious to me, that Tigger was trying to shift his weight, but the curb right behind his feet made him lose balance. He just swung around to catch himself, and smacked that kid in the face.
- wingnut21, on 10/12/2007, -3/+51If I could, I would make every other comment on this page disappear, and highlight, bold, italicize, underline, and make 36pt. your comment in their place.
- RobbyDigital, on 10/12/2007, -3/+49Now I ain't sayin you a gold digga, but you ain't messin wit no broke Tigga...
- Baconn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+43I like the arm lock.
- slicedoranges, on 10/12/2007, -1/+38I seriously couldn't even tell he hit him. What a whiny bitch.
- Springs, on 10/12/2007, -6/+40d i double guh er
- morninglorii, on 10/12/2007, -0/+30the dad sounds like a huge dick, the kid sounds like a punk, and the character OBVIOUSLY tripped. stuff like this pisses me off, especially when it's so obvious what happened, but the people involved try to play it up.
- All4ninjas, on 10/12/2007, -11/+41@ButtholeSurfer
Tigger is a Tiger; plus when Tiggers attack makes no sense as there is only one Tigger. - felchdonkey, on 10/12/2007, -4/+32I'm tired of all this use of the T-word. It's Tiger-Americans, alright?
I tell you, you let Michael Richards name ONE Disney character, and it all gets out of hand... - shoeshine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+28@ Akaji
As somebody who has had to wear a mascot costume, I agree with you. It is hard to be completely aware of what is going on inside those suits. You're sweating(although I think the ones Disney people wear have those nice fans inside), you've got a giant helmet on that you can barely see out of, and your arms and hands are a lot bulkier than usual. Your hands are bigger than they are normally, so you may accidentally hit someone instead of moving your hand over them. Unfortunate that people keep making big deals out of honest mistakes. - sicc, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27What a crock of *****. People are just looking for any reason to sue. Maybe they should spend more time working and less time taking trips to Disneyland if they are that hard up for cash.
- uptown, on 10/12/2007, -0/+26Next up .... Kid sues Digg.com community for mean-spirited comments.
- tatltat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+25I've been in one of those costumes before, and let me tell you, you have extreme tunnel vision. You have no idea what is going on behind you, and anyone can come up and mess with you. The kid probably scared him, tigger tripped, and then tried pushing the kid away reacting to the feeling that he was going to fall on him.
Last time I checked, a punch is made with a fist, not a padded hand. - cyanid3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+26Youtubed - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_HcSnrBprg
Wait for a couple of minutes, just uploaded it. Might take a couple of minutes to show up on youtube. - doskir, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26what a pussy that boy is god damnit the guy in the costume lost his balance and its pretty hard not to fall over if you lose balance in a heavy costume that makes you EXTREMLY fat the guy lost balance tried to catch himself and accidentially hit the boy god damnit
- FTLJohnson, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25Yeah, he wheat slapped that biotch. Probably knocked him into a maize haze. You'll have sore gums when you get smacked with some sorghums. He'll have to put it on ice when you get hit with the rice... It feels insane when you take some grains to your brains. (ok, I'm done)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22Watch his feet right before he punches. You can see that he hit the curb and panicked. In an effort not to fall he grabbed the boys arm and accidentally hit him in the face. If they had showed more of the video you probably would have been able to see "tigger" trying to apologize. This article was obviosly biased towards the cash hungry family.
In any case, that kid needs to grow some balls. - NSMike, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21Nope, but I'm pretty sure the dad is.
Dad: "How hard did he hit you?"
Kid: *What did Dad tell me to say.... Ermmm...* "...Uh, pretty hard. I could feel it. Through the padded glove. Yeah." - TheGilmanator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19The costumes are NOT air conditioned. I have a buddy who used to perform as Tigger. When he left Disney about 3 years ago this was still the case.
The visibility in these costumes is awful. Ever wear something like that? You're lucky if you can see the ground 20 feet in front of you let alone a little kid next to you. Anyone working as a character would have to be brain damaged to intentionally do something like hit a kid. That's an INSTANT suspension, possible termination. Odds are, even if he's cleared, the guy won't be working as a character anymore. He'll be transferred out of entertainment and be stuck doing park ops picking up trash or something. The guy's career with Disney (Yes, "career") is basically ruined because of some asshat, redneck dad. - cwalk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19It did indeed look like Tigger lost his balance and accidentally tapped the teen on the head trying to regain his balance. I think we can all agree this is just a lame attempt to extort money from Disney.
- SatansMagicHat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20Yeah, the kid's a pussy and the father's an *****.
- canyonclimber, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18On this page there is a link to another problem with Tigger: Tigger' Found Not Guilty Of Molesting Girl
Tigger faced up to 15 years in prison.

- Paul1489, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18White trash holiday checklist:
1. Go to theme park
2. Find Tigger
3. Pull Tigger toward you
4. Cry and complain all day
5. Contact lawyer - PeTeRZz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15wow, he barley touched the kid. come on.
- kingkorek, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16Man some little tiger was having a bad day at work. Did't look like a punch at all. Probably just lost his balance and swung his arm. Anyways.... I need to go find a life now.
- Rodzirra, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13It's pretty obvious that the kid was yanking on the Tigger mask. You can see the mask jerk off to the side right before Tigger goes for the arm lock. I think the kid was afraid of getting a whuppin' from dad, so he claimed that he didn't do anything.
- nickstl77, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Learn the difference between Tony the Tiger and Disney's "Tigger" before you try your next terrible pun.
- Dipsomaniac, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Jeebus, my girlfriend's hit me harder in her sleep.
Man up, nancy boy. Get a spine. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I'm pretty sure the reason why they don't talk to the mascot directly is because they don't want to reveal that a person is inside the mascot so as not to freak out the kids.
Anecdotally, during one of the first few days Hong Kong Disneyland opened, one of the mascots fainted from the heat (if you've been to Hong Kong, you KNOW how hot and humid it is), and he had to be carried out by stretcher. However, the Disneyland people didn't want the medics to remove the helmet so as not to freak out the kids and 'spoil the experience'. Suffice it to say, it was rather amusing watching a huge Pooh being carried out of the park by stretcher :). - AppleTamer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12On the bright side, the kid looked like a douchebag.
Tigger ftw. - khag7, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10yeah watch his feet he trips on the curb
- foshizlak, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10You can clearly see the kid was trying to unzip his costume or do something to his back, even after the slap the kid is still hanging onto the back of his suit.
- ShuttleDisaster, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13He's a Tigger! He's a Tigger!
- jsdratm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9I'll punch that ***** kid and his dad for whining about this.
- Rockmaninoff, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Judging the son's reaction, I really think the dad is pushing this a bit too hard. The kid didn't seem too angry about it...I think this is a case of a publicity-hungry father who's pushing his son a bit too much.
