The first feature film for Tiger & Bunny, titled Tiger & Bunny Movie 1: The Beginning, has arrived on Netflix with both English dub and subtitle options. This movie adapts the initial episodes of the original TV series, adding new scenes for a cinematic retelling of how the veteran hero Wild Tiger and the popular newcomer Barnaby Brooks Jr. reluctantly team up.
Produced by Sunrise, the studio behind Gundam and Cowboy Bebop, the film dives into a world where superheroes are corporate employees, complete with sponsored logos on their costumes. The series blends superhero action with workplace comedy and a touch of mystery, following the aging Tiger and the stoic Bunny as they navigate their partnership and the criminal underworld.
While the movie retreads familiar ground for fans of the TV series, it serves as a solid introduction to the franchise's unique premise and characters for newcomers. It sets the stage for the subsequent film, Tiger & Bunny Movie 2: The Rising, and the further adventures of the duo.
