But over time, he feels another presence, learning that this world is home to both unimaginable danger and beauty.

The Tiger Who Came to Tea:
Based on the classic picture book written by Judith Kerr OBE, 'The Tiger Who Came to Tea' is a hand-drawn animated film which tells the story of a mysterious tiger who turns up unannounced and invites himself in for afternoon tea. Young Sophie and her mummy watch in fascination as the tiger proceeds to eat not only their tea, but the entire contents of the fridge and everything else in the house.
