When Tiggers Attack

I always did think that Tigger charactor seemed a bit unstable.
He's flouncy, bouncy, full of vim and vigour and loves to leap in your lap, or so the song says. But Winnie the Pooh's Tigger has landed in trouble at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida - he stands accused of hitting a child while posing for a photo.
Jerry Monaco of New Hampshire was filming his son Jerry Jnr as he posed with Tigger at the Orlando theme park. But what he saw through the viewfinder was Tiger delivering Jerry an out of character whack. The footage, since circulated on the internet, shows the boy, two other children and his mother posing for a photo with Tigger.
A few seconds later, Tigger grabs and locks Jerry Jr's arm, then throws a punch at the teenager's face. Understandably perhaps, the boy lashes back.
"At first I was mad at my son. I thought he did something to Tigger, but then you review it and it is pretty clear he clocked him in the face," said Mr Monaco.
Officials at Disney World have suspended their employee Michael Fedelem while they investigate the accusations. "Naturally, physical altercations between cast members and guests are not tolerated," a Disney World spokeswoman said.
