Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who knows cartoons aren't just for kids. Works for the whole couch, from little ones up.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Paced for all ages, at 6 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1972: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).

One day a large and friendly family gathered for tea. The family had a favorite porcelain teapot. The mother made some sweets for tea and went to the kitchen to make tea. Suddenly, she saw a tiger cub in the teapot, and somewhat rudely asked the tiger cub to come out, but it did not want to do so. The other members of the family also asked the tiger cub rudely, and only the youngest daughter was able to persuade the tiger cub to come out, because she asked it affectionately.
