The Tiger Who Came to Tea

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

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.

Any negative reviews clearly don't know the story. It's a tribute to the original. Elaborating and extending the story just enough to make it a watchable film without detracting from the original at all.

The animation is just like the book. So subtle, the fading in and out of the background is great.

The voices suit each character beautifully and the original music score fits really well. The song performed by Robbie Williams was a nice surprise.

My 2 year old was enraptured by it from start to finish. We loved it.

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.

A beautiful re-telling of the classic book. It retains the magic of the original story, adding to the beautiful illustrations with lovely music. It's obviously pitched for very young children, as an adult remembering being read the story by my mother, I found it really touching. It's about childhood imagination and adventure. The cat (seen at the beginning and towards the end), becomes a tiger to little Sophie.
