As for the incident.. Tigger should have hit him harder.. heck he should have gone back and gotten Pooh, Piglet, Roo, Eeyore, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Chip AND Dale, and any other character who was in the back to come hit the kid too.. and given his dad one as well.. aleast then they might have some merit for the case.. Oh and it's so convenient that the video just happens to pan down the second Tigger hits the kid.. doesn't show the kid hitting Tigger back clearly
And the hospital.. please... If the kid had been hit hard enough that he had a neck injury and needed to go to the hospital there would be more than a "red mark" on the side of his face... and its not like Bruce Lee was in the Tigger suit.. how would the CM have gotten enough momentum behind the punch to do that kind of damage anyway? I mean have you ever tried to throw a punch across your body like that? It's hard to put momentum behind a swing, without wearing a giant padded orange suit... the whole thing is just dishonest BS. Sure hope that it doesn't effect future interactions with characters... and hopefully the poor CM doesn't lose their job over this.. thats the real tragedy here... Disney can afford to pay if they indeed chose to but that surely means the CM is out of a job.. That's just wrong for that family to make money by causing other's to lose out..
