I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

In vacations with my 7 years nephews, the evening was dedicated to a kid movie. This day, they chose this movie and I decided to watch it with them as I have always like the magic and poetry of the Peter Pan's world (and also because i told them that Thinker would be my wife...).In less than five minutes, I knew that this movie was a failure: it was a bit like the body snatchers has invaded Neverland: the characters were there (Tinker Bell, the young daughter, the blind parents, the English countryside) but inside, they were unrecognizable due to the huge appliance of clichés:First, the fairy world looks a lot like the hobbit and the Shire! Next, the fairies looks like models and their friends are the usual nerd and the gentle obese. We don't know why there's no mother in the movie and the father's working obsession is very badly explained: Spielberg's "Hook" was more natural (Robin hadn't enough time to do all things) but here, it's nearly as the father locks his kid in her room to work easily! The rescue operation is highly inspired from "Honey, I shrunk the kids" and we have always the American negative attitude towards cats!In conclusion, it's a soulless, industrialized, marketing animation that hurts severely the Disney's magic and that makes Funland far, far away indeed!

I received this as a Christmas present last year gone and I decided to watch it last night. At first I had low expectations on it as it was a movie for 4 year olds to watch but I decided to hell with it to check it out.The story is based on the popular fairy Tinkerbell from Peter Pan. It's about Tinkerbell and her fairies who are not allowed to interact with humans So Tinkerbell later befriends a young girl named Lizzie who made a fairy house and Tinkerbell's friend accidentally locks her in the house. At first Tinkerbell is afraid of the young girl but later in the movie they become best friends. Lizzie's father in case you are wondering is apparently working in a museum and he doesn't believe in fairies at all(like Robert Philip in Enchanted if any of you seen or heard of this film). As for the film itself I truly enjoyed it as its all about befriending a fairy and I like watching movies like these even though I am so old and I should be watching R rated movies but I always loved kids movies as they are so fascinating and wonderful to watch.If you are like myself then check it out.Best scene:Where Tinkerbell sprinkles magic pixie dust on Lizzie and she can fly.Worst bit: None really If you liked Enchanted(the whole father daughter thing with the girl believing in fairy tales and the father not to believe in fairy tales) or the Tinkerbell franchise you will like this.

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.
