“I don’t know if I can be who you need me to be.” “Your Grandma believed in you. It’s in your blood…” Paramount Animation has debuted the main trailer for animated action movie The Tiger’s Apprentice, adapted from the same book series. This was in the works for years, and after finally starting production in 2020, they scrapped the theatrical plans and will debut it streaming on Paramount+. Tom Lee, a Chinese-American boy, after the death of his grandmother, discovers he is part of a lineage of magical protectors known as the Guardians. With guidance from a mythical tiger named Hu, Tom trains up to take on Loo, a force that is as powerful as a Guardian but with evil intentions to destroy humanity. The Tiger’s Apprentice stars Henry Golding as Mr. Hu and Brandon Soo Hoo as Tom, with Lucy Liu, Bowen Yang, Jo Koy, Sherry Cola, Leah Lewis, Sandra Oh, and Michelle Yeoh. This is a much better trailer than the first teaser which didn’t show much, it actually makes this look like it might be mostly entertaining. Check it out.
Here’s the full official trailer (+ new poster) for Raman Hui’s The Tiger’s Apprentice, from YouTube:
