This film’s premise may promise many flights of fantasy and endearing whimsical humor, but what it delivers is something else entirely. A group of modern street kids must work together in a re-imagining of classic fairy tales. Sounds a bit like last year’s The Kid Who Would Be King, doesn’t it?

Can their belief in the power of those iconic stories and characters save these urchins, or will their sense of wonder lead them to their doom? Maybe they can learn to become fearless since Tigers Are Not Afraid.
