- Paul Winchell, the original voice of Tigger, was replaced by Jim Cummings, who had voiced Tigger in a number of later stories of The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1988). (Although Winchell did provide Tigger's voice for a number of stories from that series.) The reason given was the 76-year-old's voice was just too scratchy now to properly portray the character. Walt Disney Imagineers heard about this and insisted on hiring Winchell to provide Tigger's voice for the new "Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" attraction at Walt Disney World. He was and it's Winchell's voice that is used in the ride.
- This was the first Disney movie in 29 years, since Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971), to have songs by former Disney mainstays Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman.
- The original trailer for the movie, as well as some of the TV spots, had the song "Semi-Charmed Kind of Life" by the rock group Third Eye Blind. This had to be changed because the song is about being addicted to crystal meth.
- When Tigger is searching through his barrel looking for some evidence of his family, a ship's life ring is thrown out. The name "RMS MILNE" is clearly visible on it, referring to the author A.A. Milne.
- Art Direction, character designs and storyboarding were all done in the United States, while the rest of the animation, about 60% of the total, was done in Japan.
