Tiga (1987) is this curious animated short that explores the haunting presence of the Tasmanian tiger, long since gone. It juxtaposes rich, hand-drawn environments, like the zoo and bushland, with real-life accounts from locals who claim to have seen these elusive creatures. The animation is simple yet effective, lending a nostalgic feel, almost dreamlike at times. The pacing is reflective, allowing the viewer to absorb the stories and the melancholic beauty of the scenery. It’s not flashy but rather carries a somber tone that resonates with the themes of loss and memory. What stands out is how it captures a specific moment in the cultural consciousness of the time, making it feel both personal and universal in its storytelling.
