Wikipedia article
'Tigger & Pooh and a Musical Too' is a 2009 American direct-to-video animated musical film produced by Walt Disney Television Animation, based on the hit Playhouse Disney series 'My Friends Tigger & Pooh'. The film, which is the second film of the series, was released on DVD on April 7, 2009. It follows over Darby, Tigger and Pooh making a musical concert for the Hundred Acre Wood. It premiered on Playhouse Disney less than a week later on April 11. Unlike the 'Super Sleuth Christmas Movie', it was treated more like a regular film than as part of the series.
Plot
In a plot similar to 'Singin' in the Rain', Rabbit is named the first mayor of the Hundred Acre Wood for his great effort on planning their best friends picnic. Unfortunately, when Darby says that a mayor is in charge of everything, this goes to his head and he makes up a lot of rules, like "No Bouncing", "No Honey" and everything is by a schedule. By and by everyone gets annoyed by the new rules and finally when everyone (especially Tigger) can't follow the rules, Rabbit and Beaver, who becomes the vice-mayor, decide to divide the wood so that Rabbit could be mayor on one side. They give Tigger a break of bouncing, but it doesn't work. They then decide that rabbit and Tigger can be mayor.
They have Beaver draw a white line through the Hundred Acre Wood. The problem is that the white line separates the people on each side from their friends. Everyone, except Darby and Buster, is to stay on their side which results to problems and chaos. Tigger and Pooh can no longer sleuth, Roo and Lumpy can't visit each other, Tigger and Rabbit no longer be friends, and goods, supplies and materials can't be traded (which means no thistles for Eeyore and no cookies made by Kanga). Rabbit sees the sadness and decides to cheer everyone up by having a picnic on his side and Tigger does the same. But the picnics are no fun due to everyone being separated until Darby hatches a plan to reunite the Hundred Acre Wood and have everything go back to normal, and it worked. Rabbit and Tigger, having seen the error of their ways, both step down from being mayor and order Beaver to remove the white line, restoring peace to the Hundred Acre Wood.
