I think having a live tiger would’ve been really nice. I like cats! But having a live tiger would’ve been a liability. Animals are unpredictable. And I mean, we weren’t standing around saying, ‘I wish we had a real one.’ We were all going, ‘Jeez, how did they do that?’ This tiger is really amazing. Just the animatronics alone. I’m anxious to see, once they get the special effects added to it, how neat that’s going to be.
