Final words
The Tiger’s Apprentice is finally coming out in 2023 on Friday, February 10, 2023.
It’s exciting that Hollywood is starting to double down on Asian representation in its animated films (even if a few of them are transparent attempts to appeal to the Chinese box office), with films like Abominable and Disney’s upcoming Raya and the Last Dragon.
But while The Tiger’s Apprentice is steeped in Chinese mythology, particularly the mythology of the Chinese Zodiac, the children’s books are firmly rooted in the Chinese-American experience, with its setting in modern-day San Francisco.
While Paramount Animation hasn’t yet had a major critical hit (the biggest movie to this fledgling animated studio’s name is currently Sherlock Gnomes) it seems like it’s investing in good creative and voice talent for The Tiger’s Apprentice, especially with a former Pixar animator on board.
