Sherrill777 The Bad:Our title character has almost zero points in common with her character from Peter Pan, nor does Peter Pan seem to exist in this universe (we certainly never see him in any of the Tinker Bell series films). The plot is not terribly clever (and I don't feel that just because this is a film aimed at young kids that you need to be overly formulaic) and most of the fairies – who look so interesting – get very little screen time. Tinker Bell's "talent" feels like lazy writing rather than something clever (and, although this doesn't affect the rating on this movie, the rest of the series seems to mostly ignore this idea for Tinker Bell). The Good:Tinker Bell seems to have had a personality make-over (probably because she is actually so unlikable in Peter Pan). Now she has more emotions besides jealousy and anger. And she can speak! There's also a "village" beyond living with the lost boys – with more fairies! This is certainly the best part – all those other fairies have the potential to be so interesting! You want to get to know them and see their 'talents'. Tinker Bell's talent, is not a stereotyped "girl's skill", which is nice since this movie is heavily marketed towards little girls. The look of the film is nice. Although there has been much better CGI since this was made, it is still bright and colorful. The Mom view:There is nothing objectionable about the film and while predictable for an adult, a young child might not see the end coming and enjoy Tinker Bell's discovery along with her. The moral of the story – finding what you are good at and being happy in that – is not bad, but it might also be seen as "don't try things you aren't skilled at", which isn't as good of a lesson to absorb. I'd be willing to let my preschool/toddler kids see this – including the boys – but it's not the most interesting or well done movie out there for young kids. Uunless you have a child who absolutely loves fairies (NOT one who loves Peter Pan), this is pretty skip-able.

Jackson Booth-Millard I had seen the original 1953 Disney animated film Peter Pan, and its sequel made nearly fifty years later, and I guess a film focusing on the famous pixie fairy sounded relatively interesting, so I watched it. Basically, the story is set in the world of fairies, who create the four seasons of the year and all components of them, such as the colour of leaves, snow, and much more. Born into this world as a fairy herself is Tinker Bell (Independence Day's Mae Whitman), who before settling in has to find her skill and talent, like all the fairies have, and she is selected by her tool as a "tinker". The tinker fairies are responsible for fixing things for all the four seasons such as the contraptions that help make things and stuff, specifically for Spring, but this job isn't as important as the other fairies talents. Tinker Bell is fascinated hearing about the Main Land, i.e. the human world, but she is disheartened to find out that as a tinker she cannot go to the Main Land. She knows the only way to be able to go is to have a talent that would be useful in the human world, so she tries her hand at using new skills in the four season lands, with no success. Her friends Rosetta (RV: Runaway Vacation's Kristin Chenoweth), Silvermist (Lucy Liu), Fawn (Ugly Betty's America Ferrera) and Iridessa (Raven-Symoné) are supportive, but Vidia (Pamela Adlon) is mean and keen to see her fail, and makes her mess up big time. Overseer Fairy Mary (Jane Horrocks), and of course Queen Clarion (Anjelica Huston) are devastated to see all the preparations for Spring have been ruined by the disastrous events caused by Tinker Bell, but she redeems herself by helping to fix everything. In the end, Vidia gets what she deserves for being mean, and Tinker Bell proves herself the hero by saving the Spring season ready for the Main Land, and as reward she is allowed to see it, and return a toy spinning ballerina back to its owner, a little girl named Wendy (of course). Also starring Jesse McCartney as Terence, Jeff Bennett as Clank, Rob Paulsen as Bobble and Loreena McKennitt as Narrator. The voice casting is not bad, the Scottish fairy with glasses and the fat one are obvious comic relief, the computer animation is relatively good for straight to video, and it is an okay story, so all in all, not a bad family animated adventure. Worth watching!

brettster Saw this movie today (9/26/08) with my young nieces at a special El Capitan Theatre preview in Los Angeles. We were all delighted by Tink's excellent backstory, the ingenious story and the handsomely rendered 3-D animation. Cast is uniformly excellent, including Lucy Liu, Kristen Chenoweth and Anjelica Houston. This was much better than some of the theatrically released Disney animated films I've seen (notably "Atlantis"), making it among the best of the Mouse's direct-to-video titles. Well worth checking out with your kids, but don't be surprised if you find a tear in your own eye at the conclusion of this delightful surprise.
