Tiger may be an Obscure and Forgotten Family Film over the past 25 years since its release back when the PS1 console was so popular and this is why no one talks about this movie nowadays. The plot involves a young boy named Josh living with his family in a suburban neighborhood in California and always wanted a dog but his parents played by the late Dana Plato (Different Strokes) and Miles O'Keeffe (Tarzan, the Ape Man) along with his Older Brother and 2 Sisters in which this family is fewer dysfunctional than the Bundys from Married with Children. Just then he finds an Abandon Puppy in the shed after his Mother Dog, and puppy brothers and sister and the Mother Dog's owner leave him behind and Josh names him Tiger and he somehow talks to Josh which is kinda similar to Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey in which some of Dogs and Cats mouths don't move when they talk. Soon enough his Family agrees to keep Tiger and then Tiger gets stolen by two neighborhood boys. The scene between Josh and his older brother John, when they attempt to locate Tiger with the aid of an alien-looking helmet is comical and has a Twilight Zone twist to it. Suffice it to say, Tiger is rescued. Overall Tiger is a really Slow Family Movie and lacks in pulling in an audience of 5 yr olds despite that nobody wants to talk about, the plot and story are just okay and the characters are just stereotypical at best and the voice of Tiger is just bland since it's nothing like in Babe when he gets separated by his Mother and other brother and sister piglets; even the music score is really kind catchy in today's standards and this obscure family movie from the '90s that kids today wouldn't want to experience.

wow. bad.

wow. this was bad. probably one of the worst. ever. i bought it for $1 at a dollar store called Four Quarters as a gag gift for a friend. wow. definitely worth that $1 for a movie this bad.
it's really just incredible that movies this bad were made, especially by real actors. I probably could have done about the same with a video camera and some friends. the problem is that you might have a hard time finding this movie. I'm pretty sure you couldn't buy it in any regular store anywhere.
Personally, i think the best part is that the dog speaks telepathically, across long distances, so the kid can hear the dog even when they're in completely different places. too bad the kid never thinks to communicate with the dog the same way... when they lose Tiger, it would have made him a lot easier to find.

Get it out of here.......this is Tiger

This film came bundled with a film called 'More than Puppy Love' (which I recommend you check out) which was bought as it was the most terrible film we had ever seen. As we prepared to watch Tiger, we didn't know what to expect......... but by the end we were gasping for more. Is it possible for a film to be more badly made? From the powerpoint opening credits, to the terrible overdubbing on the dog and the people, right through to the awful chase sequence at the end. The guy who played the older brother deserves massive respect for playing the scariest most bizarre character in the dog film circuit. If you ever get the chance, then you MUST watch this film, to see cinema at its lowest depths.
