    78 minutes of my life I will never get back! I have never seen such rubbish acting in my life! I feel embarrassed for the "actors" of this "movie" I must say that I feel more for the poor dog that they try to pass as a boy when it is very clearly a girl! There is absolutely no structure to this awful movie and have no idea how it even managed to get onto screens in the first place! I just wish that I could rate no stars as giving it the one is more than generous! People who have voted this movie with more than one must have been looking in the opposite direction of their screens because I can't for the life of me see what they're rating!!

    My advice for anyone who is thinking of seeing this "movie" is: Don't do it! Save your money and watch some paint dry...... Trust me, you will find it much more enjoyable.

    The acting is terrible! The scenes appear to be made up of heavily edited bits and bobs. The actors eyes are all over the place. None of the characters are believable. Zachary Friedman as Koby Burrows is particularly awful, screaming and screeching like a banshee.

    The local school bullies are tiny Tim and a weaker looking kid, who are as scary as a popcorn bag at a weight watchers meeting.

    The plot? still somewhere in the twilight zone, I have no idea of what was going on. The heavy editing of flip screens and the awful acting made the plot as believable as David Ike shape shifting.

    I can't believe I paid £5 to watch this pile of horse poop. Avoid at all costs! Awful wooden acting, poor plot and screaming talentless kids.

    Very entertaining movie for the whole family, finally a movie you can watch with your kids. Beautifully directed, gorgeous picture, adorable little tiger hero. This is a movie the kids will watch over and over. Sweet little moments, great soundtrack, very cute cast. We've been waiting for a kids movie like that for a long time, that is real, honest with no monsters or some kind of magical elements in it, something the kids can relate to, there is only a handful of movies like that out there, but not enough to watch every weekend with your kids, so thank you A Tiger's Tail for coming up with this movie before my kids become teenagers and get hooked on vampire movies. The kids need to know and learn the value of real stories on screen, so we the parents can feel that there is some kind of educational value to watching TV.

    This movie was basically a vehicle to showcase an adorable tiger cub. Luna the cub was as cute as can be and steals the scenes she's in. End of positives for this film. The writing was unbearably corny; the acting, especially on the part of the children, was hammy and annoying. Stereotypes of fat kids and bullies abound, and the writing was so bad that my eyes were fatigued from all the rolling they did. Dialogue was cliché and poorly structured. The plot was a cookie-cutter sequence of devices from 10,000 other kids' movies. As a father of a young child, I sit through a lot of children's movies and I am able to enjoy many of them. This movie was an absolutely grueling chore to watch. I squirmed at the sheer awfulness of every aspect of it, especially the music video dream sequence in the middle of the movie that seemed to go on forever. My son sat through it, but luckily for me he didn't enjoy it enough to request ever seeing it again.

    If you are interested in movies with sensible plots and realistic characters, this movie is not for you. If you are interested in movies with adorable children, even cuter animals, and comedy from pure stupidity, this movie will be great for you. It starts with Billy and his friend Kobi at the zoo, where they run into Doreen, the girl Billy likes. Doreen is very interested in tigers and Billy decides he wants a baby tiger. Then the two least intimidating two-dimensional "bullies" show up just to torment Billy and Kobi, who cannot defend themselves because they are for some reason scared of the two foot bully and his slightly taller idiot partner. Sounds much more scary than having a tiger live in your room. The bullies throw Billy's backpack into the tiger exhibit. The zookeeper goes into get it, but for some reason does not close the gate all the way. I guess worse case scenario everyone gets eaten and the zoo is shut down. On the way home Billy talks to his parents about wanting a baby tiger, only to discover one in his backpack when he gets home. He tells his parents, who don't believe him and don't even bother to check. Billy hides the tiger in his room, worried that he might get arrested for the tiger who accidentally ended up in his backpack due to the zookeepers inability to close the gate. He is not at all worried about sharing a room with a tiger, when he already has a dog, and even baby tigers may scratch or bite if they're scared. Sadly, Billy is the smartest character. The dog and tiger seem to get along fine, until the tiger destroys the house and Billy let's the dog take the fall. Again, why doesn't he tell his parents the truth? He can't get in trouble because he already told hos parents about the tiger. Billy shows the tiger to Kobi and makes him promise not to tell. He almost immediately tells the bullies in front of all the popular kids. Doreen hangs out with the mean girls, even though she's super nice. The bullies threaten to beat up Billy and Kobi if they don't show them the tiger, and what can be scarier than getting beat up by a 2 foot tall boy? The bullies try to steal the tiger, but end up being scared, and the tiger is revealed to Billy's parents. Billy returns the tiger and everyone acts like nothing happens, when the zoo should be offering Billy a large sum not to sue them. The plot of this movie is so senseless that it's hilarious. I recommend it to people who like those kind of movies.

    This was a precious movie! So much fun! It has a nice storyline and was fun to watch! I loved the music too! Most of all, I loved all the animals, especially the baby tiger! It was filled with lots of unexpected, funny moments. It also has some great actors. It has clean language and teaches a great lesson for kids about honesty. This is a great movie to share with your church, daycare, elementary school, or even other grandparents. You could also give this movie to a young child as a birthday gift. This is definitely one movie you'll want to purchase and keep on your shelf for those unexpected young visitors!!! It's clean, safe, and entertaining for all ages.

    When Luna the baby tiger cub escapes her enclosure from Joe Camp's (Christopher Judge) animal sanctuary she crawls into Billy's (Will Spencer) backpack. Finding her on the car ride home he knows he has to hide the cub from his parents and get her back ASAP. The problem is he doesn't know how. To make things worse he's being teased by the neighborhood "cool" kids and has a crush on his classmate Doreen (Merit Leighton) who is part of that clique. He enlists the help of his best friend Koby (Zachary Friedman) and they come up with a plan that doesn't really work out the way it should. Coupled with trying to keep their secret from Billy's parents, played hysterically clueless by Greg Grunberg and Darlene Vogel, they get themselves in all sorts of predicaments! Billy, Koby, and Doreen feel like a modern take on Alfalfa, Spanky, and Darla from the lil Rascals. Not as many kids as in the My Gang series but just as much fun. The best part is all the action centers around an impossibly cute baby tiger. Good fun for children and adults alike.
