Too much of everything

Really Surprised!

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

I watched The Pirate Fairy with my nieces and it actually was quite interesting and entertaining.Now I enjoy animation movies from hand drawn to Computer animation and this one is enjoyable for fans of Disney and families to enjoy.The Pirate Fairy centers on Tinkerbell (Voiced by Mae Whitman) and her friends trying to stop a rouge fairy named Zarina (Voiced by Christian Hendricks) from stealing the Blue Pixie dust to help her crew along with James (Voiced by Tom Hiddleston).The plot of the movie is one of the strong points for the movie which is what make my nieces interested through out the film. I do say it is a very good plot that we don't see too often these days in animated films. I like how they have a rouge fairly in the role of a villain. Disney always been known for their art work and this one is no different it is one of their brightest films.The animation is very well done with great backgrounds and the character designs are very well done so the animators really took their time to make sure each picture of animation is top notch.The animation is clearly made for High Definition it is the only way to give the animation for the film justice.The voice acting is very good as well I was quite surprise that Tom Hiddleston was in this film but again he did well as James hope he can do more animated films in his career. But every did well for the film as you can normally expect nothing less but well done voice work in Disney films.I just can't find anything that would not make you want to enjoy watching this with your family. My nieces and I enjoy it very much so with great animation, amazing voice talents and beautiful animation there is nothing to make you turn away from this movie.I give The Pirate Fairy an 8 out of 10

All of the Tinker Bell films personally were surprisingly enjoyable films, not perfect but great for its main target audience but sadly falling victim to "target audience stereotyping". Tinker Bell and the Pirate Fairy is the fifth film and quite possibly the best one, though all five are ranked very close together in terms of ratings. Maybe a few parts are a tad rushed and the dialogue is ropey at times, but what was good about the previous Tinker Bell films are evident also in Tinker Bell and the Pirate Fairy. The animation is not quite as beautiful as The Secret of the Wings but it is still very smooth moving and the colours are so warm and elegant, a far cry from "all gloss, no depth" quality. The action is thrillingly animated with no jerky editing in sight really. The music score has a Celtic touch but also have rousing and ethereal qualities too, that is sympathetically used, doesn't detract from the storytelling and match the visuals remarkably well. The songs are not the best in the world but for both the pirates and the fairies are cute and surprisingly hummable, with plenty of rouse and charm. The dialogue does have good-natured and suspenseful parts as well as the at times ropey ones, and of all the five films it's Tinker Bell and the Pirate Fairy that has the most eventful story that is bright, breezy and mostly solidly paced if rushed in spots. It has bags of charm and not only has parts that are genuinely funny like with Zarina but also some heartfelt ones too like Tinker Bell's return of the blue dust. Predictable? Yes. Charmless? Certainly not. The characters carry the film very nicely, James is an interesting villain, Zarina is a amusing addition and Tinker Bell is still a good identifiable role model. The voice acting is wonderful, especially from Christina Hendricks who makes a sassy contribution and Tom Hiddleston who shows with his suave yet subtly menacing delivery how he is born to play villains. Mae Whitman is very emotive though too, and the pirates and fairies are voiced with no obvious problems. To conclude, a pleasant and good film that is my personal favourite of the five and should be given a chance without prejudice. 8/10 Bethany Cox

So as a lover of animated films since I was born,I decided to buy the DVD of Tinkerbell and The Pirate Fairy,as I sen the trailers and thought it looked good so on to the review.Zarina(voiced by Life as We Know It's Christina Hendricks)loves experimenting on Pixie Hollow's dust. So when her latest creation goes wrong,she is sent off away from Pixie Hollow and must never come back. A year later and there is a tournament on and things start going awry for Tinkerbell and the Winter/Summer fairies as they are all put under asleep,it is of course Zarina who is out for revenge and has joined forces with a bunch of pirates led by James(Tom Hiddleston from Thor franchise)who is really Captian Hook before he lost his hand and grew a big mustache and wore a curly black wig,like the original 1955 Peter Pan he hates ticking and comes across the first alligator that chases him away later in the film.So when Tinkerbell and her fairy pals try to stop Zarina getting any more of the blue stones that create the magic in Pixie Hollow,Zarina changes all their talents.Now Tinkerbell is a water fairy,Rosetta is a animal fairy and the rest get different talents.SO can Tinkerbell and the gang bring back the magic back to Pixie Hollow and make Zarina go back with them?Overall this 1hr and 15 minute feature will surely delight the Tinkerbell fans out there and for those who are like me a die hard fan of animated movies preferably Disney will also love this movie too. I like how we are introduced to new charcthers like Zarina,and Captian Hook as a young man before he met Peter Pan,and other new fairies. The fairies from Secret Of The Wings also makes a brief cameo in this movie too so yeah I found it entertaining and its a worthy addition to the Tinkerbell Franchise. With music from Natasha Bedingfield The Pirate Fairy is a B +.7/10

Yes, I get it: this movie is intended for little children. Sadly it seems to be appropriate these days to underestimate children's minds really bad. One other reviewer posted "Compare it to the original Disney Peter Pan movie, and it is striking how aged and inappropriate for young children that one feels." No, it's striking how less confidence we have these times when it comes to children. They are far more observant, intelligent and bright than this movie would suggest. The old Peter Pan story surely had it's flaws but it was challenging children and their minds in a good way. This movie is the equivalent to so many sketchy and shallow-brained movies that are made for adult that do not want to think, but just be entertained with their brains shut down.The animations are poor, but would be OK if the movie had depth. The soundtrack is really bad, consisting of sub level pop songs with no charm at all. The characters are super slim beautiful young fairies, that seem to be more obsessed with their look than anything else. Most males are ugly and stupid or at least vengeful and too proud to let the girl fairies to be more than wage slaves. The story is flat and it's clear from the beginning what will happen.If you need to dampen then brain of your kind to prepare it for shallow talk shows and sketchy movies please go on. Otherwise please please appreciate your child more than to feed him/her this fast food movie.
