If half of your family has superhero fatigue but the other half still can’t get enough of superpowered stories, then «The Tiger’s Apprentice» is the perfect way for you to bridge the gap on movie night. It’s based on a middle-grade fiction book from Newbery Honor-winning author Laurence Yep, and it perfectly captures what made the novel popular enough to spark a trilogy.
It follows a Chinese-American boy named Tom Lee (Brandon Soo Hoo), who just wants to fit in at his San Francisco High School. One day, Tom meets a man named Mr. Hu, who has the ability to transform into a tiger. Mr. Hu (voiced by «Crazy Rich Asians» star Henry Golding) reveals that Tom comes from a long line of Zodiac-powered beings called Guardians, and he wants to train Tom to use his own abilities to save the world.
«The Tiger’s Apprentice» is a little bit of Marvel and a little bit of Harry Potter all wrapped up in a deeper cultural story. Does it bring a bunch of new elements to the table? No, but it does expertly combine ideas and themes that have worked in the past, and the visuals from Paramount Animation are gorgeous enough that you could watch the whole thing on mute and still have a great time.
