The Tiger Who Came to Tea

This is a simple tale of a child who's evening is changed when a Tiger decides to visit for Tea. Based on the time honoured and beautifully charming book by the late Judith Kerr, the animation is delightful in its faithfulness to the original book as drawn by the author. It is beautiful and heart warming in its simplicity. A must watch for families and anyone that grew up knowing the story of Tiger.

What a wonderful animation of a family favourite loved by each generation.

The somewhat bizarre reviews on here that give low scores seem to overlook this is a faithful bringing to life of the original story written by the author and a production I'm sure she would have been pleased with.

A new family favourite and Christmas tradition

Beautiful animation, great voice acting and true to the original source material

Just watched this with my 4yo and 8yo and I don't think we have ever seen anything that we have all loved so equally. Not even ashamed to say that I shed a wee tear or two, but this was partly down to watching the sheer delight on the kid's faces as they watched the tiger eat all the food etc etc.

We are all huge fans of the book so I suppose the tv adaptation could have let us down...but it most certainly didn't. And I was very happy to note that David Oyelowo did the tiger's voice exactly in the same tone I do when I read it to my kids.

It only fails to get a full 10 out of 10 because of the Robbie Williams song - that bit wasn't really necessary and I would have preferred someone who is actually cool, like Willie Nelson or Snoop for example, to provide the music. Busta Rhymes or Dolly Parton would also have been better alternatives. But that is just cos I can't stand Robbie Williams. Other than that, The Tiger who came to Tea was utterly wonderful and I can't wait to watch it again.

Watched this with my 3 year old at christmas and she was gripped from the start until the end. She loved the story and couldn't believe when the tiger ate and drank all the food and drink. She said at the end she hopes he doesn't come and do that at our house lol. Was well done, I watched it with her and found it to be very watchable and thoroughly enjoyed it.
