Tiger (2024)

Jack and I loved, as expected, the latest animal documentary from Disneynature. Narrated by Priyanka Chopra Jonas and directed by Mark Linfield, Vanessa Berlowitz, and Rob Sullivan, it follows a tiger and her cubs in the forest of India. Its website tells us its hour and a half length was cut from 1500 days of filming.

The Indian-influenced soundtrack by Nitin Sawhney is available on Apple Music and probably elsewhere.

I noted that some of my favorite moments were the peacock, the "frog fu fighting" (my invention), the langur monkey ballet, and the fireflies. 

Here's my list of Disneynature documentaries and here is Disney's. Remarkably, there are no computer generated effects in these docs.

Jonas was last blogged for (the scripted feature) The White Tiger, Linfield and Berlowitz for the Disneynature Elephant, and Sullivan makes his feature co-directing debut after a handful of nature TV serieses.

Rotten Tomatoes' critics are purring with an average of 88 and its audiences' claws are still retracted at 75. We watched it on Disney+ with our subscription on April 23. It can also be rented on the usual outlets.
