The Tiger's Apprentice (2024)

‘The Tiger’s apprentice’ brings new flavor to a very basic storyline. Directed by Raman Hui alongside Paul Watling and Yong Duk Jhun, the new movie features the voices of Michelle Yeoh, Henry Golding and Brandon Soo Hoo.

Launching on Paramount+ February 2nd, ‘The Tiger’s Apprentice’ represents a solid dose of forward momentum for the portrayal of Chinese mythology on screen for more general audiences. It’s a shame, though, that the film –– which we’d recommend for its entertaining voice cast more than anything in the script itself –– is an entertaining enough romp for younger audiences but seems unlikely to come across as anything other than second tier when truly boundary-pushing animation exists.
