Two Brothers
Two mischievous twin tiger cubs live a carefree life in an exotic jungle amidst beautiful ancient ruins. But one day, an act of fate forces them apart, as one is sold off to the circus and the other becomes the pampered pet of a governor's son. Witness the remarkable journey as these tigers grow up, reunite, and embark on an incredible adventure to find their way home.
From Jean-Jacques Annaud, the highly-acclaimed director of The Bear, comes a heartwarming story about the power of friendship and the bond between brothers. Guy Pearce (Memento, LA Confidential) stars as a treasure hunter whose own spirit is unexpectedly tamed by the tigers in this timeless tale for the whole family!

I recently watched this movie with my niece and nephew 7 and 3 respectively. Both kids are animal lovers and they don't watch a lot of TV so I thought they would love two brothers.
They found the movie really borning and I would rather watch paint dry. The tigers were cute and they also were the best actors in the movie.Who doesn't love tigers? - Filmgal
I’m a sucker for animal movies- decent animal movies- and Two Brothers is one of the best of the bunch.
A mundane story line- two tiger cub brothers are separated from each other- is actually quite exciting and moving as each cub grows up in a differently as one becomes a pampered pet for colonists and the other becomes a show animal at a circus. When each are brought face to face in what is to be a battle to the death, will they recognize each other as family or foe?
The tigers are the stars of the film and deservedly get top billing over the human cast. Great cinematography and direction, this film is shot like a National Geographic film with a plotline.
A good film for all ages although some intense scenes might be too scary for the youngest viewers, Two Brothers shouldn’t just be relegated to the “family” film category as it is a good film that should be seen by a wide range of animal and cinema lovers alike.Warm and fuzzy family film - Baboonvideo
Director Jean-Jacques Annaud is a passionate nature lover. Having triumphed with the 1989 ursine film The Bear, Annaud returns to his conservation-minded passion with Two Brothers, an appealing family film (suitable for kids age 6 and older) that may ultimately place too much of an emphasis on humans, but still makes for a satisfying nature adventure when focusing on its cuddly title stars, two tiger cubs living in Southeast Asia (the picture was filmed in Thailand and Cambodia). The magic of Annaud's vision is apparent in the distinct personalities he allows to emerge from the tiger brothers - one is bold, the other hesitant - as the two are separated due to fate and the actions of meddlesome humans (at various points, the tigers become the property of a treasure hunter played by Guy Pearce, a circus owner, a prince and a young boy). Every step of the way, the tigers outact the humans (even Pearce and Finding Neverland star Freddie Highmore) and Annaud's love of animals in their natural beauty (no fake human traits here) succeeds in pushing the audience to develop a real affection for his giant cats, allowing even the most cold-hearted viewer to anticipate the inevitable moment when the striped brothers are reunited.
