The Tiger Who Came to Tea (2019 TV Movie)
6/10
I want a Tiger to come for tea!!!
28 December 2020
What a greedy little Pussycat the tiger is? I think if I had been the Mother I would have asked him to leave for being so rude, but what a curious thing to happen on a wet day, a tiger coming for tea?

It's a cute little story if a bit odd and without any specific destination.

I'm not sure it was worth paying such big names for the small amount of script that there was, but I did like Robbie Williams song that went with it. It just seemed oddly appropriate.

The artwork was brilliantly done. I liked the way the room was sometimes just a white background with a table like in a book, or that the background might change colour dependant upon what was happening or being said. The camera also seemed to follow them as if it was a live action film.

I could also appreciate the fact that they kept it retro with Milk that has foil lids and so on, which was an odd choice for kids of the day that might not know what it is now.

I would definitely read the original book to my own kids and show them the film to go with it, but I don't think that it's one that I need to see so regularly as an adult, unlike the Raymond Briggs Christmas Trilogy and 'The First Snow Of Winter', which I insist upon seeing at least once yearly.
