In a city ruled by a diabolical mayor, only one thing can save the old botanical garden from demolition: the magical blue tiger. Now it's up to friends Johanka and Matyas to protect the tiger from the evil clutches of the mayor and his henchmen and save the garden from the nefarious redevelopment plans of the mayor. They'll have to rely on their intelligence and imagination, not to mention the mysterious powers of the blue tiger to save the day. Combining live-action and clever animation flourishes, The Blue Tiger is a visually stunning tale of heart and hope, encouraging us to care for our local environment while respecting the past.
