As a "gut" reaction, after seeing the clip, I instantly thought, rightly or wrongly: "Here is a family out to sue a large corporation for a quick gain". Probably just a reaction to what seems to happen on a regular basis nowadays, with our sue-happy society.

Tigger was obviously trying to kill him.

Sorta' thought that too, but again, I wasn't there. For all we knew "Tigger" either just patted the kid on the head all friendly like or flat-out sucker punched him. Since we weren't there, how can we know?

Let the lawyers fight it out at this point - they're the ones that are going to end up sitting back and raking in the bucks from it at the end of the day anyway. . .

If they are talking about the "punch" tigger delivered in that video, I think they are reaching. Looks like it might have been an accident... hard to see out of those outfits; almost no peripheral vision at all.

I can't imagine having to go to the hospital from a "hit" like that one.

looking at tiggers heels it looks like he was against the curb behind him and when jr. reached behind him it looks like tigger simply lost his balance.....watch tiggers feet closely........

Good observation. Case closed.

I was a disneyworld a couple of years ago... I was playing around with the guy in the Bluto outfit (yeah, from Popeye).

so he puts me in a headlock and my wife snaps a photo.

I thought it was the funniest thing... never thought of suing them.. I was 30 at the time.

This is the single most ridiculous non-event ever reported in the history of network news.

Here's the story that is coming out now. The kid that was hit was pulling Tiggers' tail. When that didn't get a rise, he grabbed Tiggers' a$$. The person in the costume (could be a female), reacted. Of course the source of the video (the plaintiff) doesn't show that part.........

you're right. i so the video again more closely.

it was a natural reaction, he was about to lose his footing and he swung his arm around, got the kid in the face my accident..

I too thought it looked like Tiger lost his balance. Give me a break though, the kid was barely even touched.

Watch it again. Tigger drops his right foot back for better balance, puts an arm-lock on the kid, then knocks his glasses off. IMO, the kid was taunting him in some manner, and Tigger got tired of it, opened up a can of cartoon whoop-ass.

The kid is damned lucky it wasn't Elmer Fudd he was taunting, lest he'd have taken a shotgun blast to the face.
