Expected more

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Blistering performances.

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

I was never a fan of Peter Pan and I certainly didn't like Tinker Bell in that movie. However I do like fairies and was curious to see what they would do with a movie of Tinker Bell living her life in Pixie Hollow with the other fairies. At first I thought the digital graphics would bother me as I was used to the more classic Tinker Bell animation. This not only improved the whole magical atmosphere surrounding these fairy woods, it made it also into a highly entertaining movie. Right from the start you are drawn into an interesting story with a morale. Next to Tinker Bell's story we learn about the different kind of fairies, their abilities and duties, which came in really handy for me a storywriter. I was also glad to hear that this movie will have sequels which will probably end at the moment she meets up with Peter Pan. I liked Tinker Bell without Peter and the lost boys. This is now one of my favorite Disney movies. It's maybe not perfect as I would have hoped to get to know the other fairies better too, but I guess the sequels will work on that. Still a big 9!

This was a wonderful movie! I think it was as good as anything Disney has done in last 15 years. What really set this apart from most of the DVD fare is the incredible score, with music from Loreena McKennit! I could really relate to Tink's desire to find who she is and why. I looked everywhere for MY Talent, and it's taken a long time for me to really be happy with myself just the way I am. That's one of the most important and easily forgotten things you can learn in your life, and I'm glad to see that in any movie. The only thing I would have changed was the addition of so much Pop in the soundtrack. I much prefer the orchestral and Choir work to the latest Tween princess crap. Give this a chance, at least a rental. Just enjoy it for what it is, and believe again.

i am obsessed with Tinkerbell too, just like other people who wrote comments. also i have read peter pan and researched into James Barrie's life for hours on end, but I still loved this movie. it was adorable and cute and even though they changed the feisty Tinkerbell that was, it was placed before peter pan. no, she can't talk in peter pan but it's probably because she is so small maybe human's couldn't hear her but since peter pan was magical he could hear her so they just didn't make her lines. no, it's not exactly what Barrie wrote but i still think he would be pleased with the movie. it was very creative and i loved it!

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.
