Tyger

Tyger is a magical short film from 2006 by Brazilian director Guilherme Marcondes. This ‘cityjungle’ animation is based on the William Blake poem ‘The Tyger’. What I like about it, besides the visuals, the rhythm (very much like a poem) and the intentionally visible puppeteers, is that it avoids the pure romantic dystopian vision of society by making the tiger not only dangerous, but also a creator of natural beauty along the way. Humans are animals, after all.
