In fact, the film is not only have thought-provoking philosophy of life, the visual effects become the biggest highlight of the film. Especially Tigers(Richard Parker) debut as a second protagonist, have to say great performances in the film, like the real tiger. In order to create a heavy 450 pounds of Richard Parker, R & H specifically recalled the successful experience of past film, for example "The Chronicles of Narnia"and" The Golden Compass "and other films. The special effects team collect lots of information, spent hundreds of hours of reference videos to research four tigers, finally created a real Richard Parker in the film. [2]

The most impressive was the process of Pi taming Richard Parker, the tiger from the original wild and intractable to hesitate to finaly obey Pi, the tiger's movements and facial expressions are very good making.
