Synopsis
A tiger cub and little girl grow up together in a busy city. Inseparable, they do everything as a pair on an increasingly cramped bike. But as the tiger grows, their once big city doesn’t seem so big anymore! A short animation with a colossal heart, ‘My Friend Tiger’ deals with the subjects of companionship, personal growth, and self-actualisation.
