SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

From my favorite movies..

An absolute waste of money

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

I have to say I liked the last two Tinkerbell movies, and wasn't expecting much. But once again I got a very sweet film, albeit one with imperfections such as the short length, one or two moments that could have been better paced and the odd moment of dialogue that doesn't quite convince. The animation once again is gorgeous, the music is memorable, the story is a cute and charming one with a message that is good and doesn't feel forced in how it's incorporated, the characters including Tinkerbell are likable and the voice work, what a delight it was to hear the wonderful Michael Sheen, is top notch. Overall, very sweet and I recommend it. 7/10 Bethany Cox

Oh the challenge of reviewing a children's movie! I've just watched this with my six year old. She was reasonably entertained by it. I find myself comparing this sequel to 2008's "Tinkerbell." I thought that movie was better, in that it seemed to have a purpose to it - which helps to maintain the attention of an adult. The earlier movie introduced us to Tinkerbell in more detail than we've ever known her, and it provided an imaginative look at fairy life. This was a more straightforward adventure type movie. Tinkerbell finds herself captured by a little girl and the rest of the fairies set out to find her and bring her back to Pixie Hollow. There's a cuteness involved in watching the relationship between Tinkerbell and the little girl develop. There's some humour - particularly as the cat chases the fairies over the flying plates. Still, it seemed less substantial than its predecessor; the story not as interesting; the music (usually a strong point for Disney) very minimal.Make no mistake about it. This will please a six year old girl. For an adult the most satisfying part of this will not be watching the movie; it will be sitting and snuggling with the six year old girl who's watching the movie!

Usually, a spin-off such as this would only appear as a straight-to-DVD movie, but due to the amazing sales in the UK, Tinkerbell and the Great Fairy Rescue will see Peter Pan's favourite fairy get a cinematic release; the first of the Disney fairies to be granted one.Tinkerbell, as any Pan fan will know, is a mischievous but resourceful individual who always manages to get herself into trouble. On the first day of Fairy Camp, Tink (Mae Whitman) gets distracted by a passing car and goes to investigate, dragging friend Vidia (Pamela Adlon) along for the ride. The car belongs to Dr. Griffiths (Michael Sheen) and his daughter Lizzie (Lauren Mote) who accidentally captures Tinkerbell.Vidia sees that Dr. Griffiths has a large butterfly collection and fears that Tink will also end up in a display case so she races back to Fairy Camp to enlist the other fairies, Rosetta (Kristin Chenoweth), Silvermist (Lucy Liu) and Iridessa (Raven-Symoné), to help rescue her. Luckily for Tink, Lizzie loves fairies and the two have a great day together but what will happen when Dr. Griffiths finds her? The animation isn't particularly impressive but it definitely has touches of Disney flair, particularly in the charming pastel colouring and the storyline based around a single parent family – the Disney special. The film's heart revolves around the relationship between Lizzie and a father who has no time for her and dismisses her love of fairies as fantasy. Michael Sheen's voice takes on sweeter tones as a busy father whereas Lauren Mote comes across as almost too English – there's more than a little stage school training here.Kristin Chenoweth lends her considerable vocal talents to Rosetta, the Southern Belle fairy who doesn't like to get her hands dirty. I would have thought that a trained singer like Chenoweth would be included in the soundtrack but for some reason the director opted for the distracting tones of Disney brat Bridgit Mendler – more than a little oversight.With a running time of just 75 minutes, it might be a tad too short for the big screen but I'd definitely recommend a DVD purchase as it's short and sweet enough to keep the kids entertained at home, but might not be worth a trip to the cinema. It's fairly simplistic stuff but young children will get a dose of humour, action and heart without the trappings of a boring Summer blockbuster.

I'm not sure what makes Tinker Bell so irresistible to small children, but Disney managed to expand upon the Peter Pan mythos and flesh out Tink as an independent, curious, kind yet temperamental fairy.This is Tink's third adventure, after Tinker Bell (2008) and Tinker Bell and The Lost Treasure (2009). This time, her native curiosity in how things work and her fascination with humans gets her in trouble and her friends must organize a rescue party, also a good opportunity for Vidia, the antagonist, to show her better side.The production values are good but not incredible compared to Pixar movies or even to Disney's own Bolt; still, I doubt that any child will notice that Cheese's fur doesn't sway for example.About the only thing that disappoints me is that the whole Disney Fairies franchise is more aimed at girls rather than boys, which is quite a shame, given Tink's personality.Overall, it's a nice family movie. My 6 years old son loved it and that's all it matters.
