Featured reviews
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.

Beautiful animation, great voice acting and true to the original source material
It is a very sweet animation of the tiger and the generous host. It is great for children and adults!
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.
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.

- TriviaDespite the smallish fee on offer, Robbie Williams was only too happy to co-write and sing the song featured as he was a huge fan of Raymond Briggs 'The Snowman' animated short film of the mid 1980s as a child and wanted to be part of something equally magical that children would still be watching at Christmas decades later. And despite being a major Hollywood film and television star, Benedict Cumberbatch's involvement was also because of his fond childhood memories of The Snowman.
