Movie Reviews of Tinker Bell
Movie Review: A surprising delight
Summary: 5 Stars
Much as I dislike the phrase "feel good movie" this is probably the way I would describe Tinker Bell.
I had my reservations simply because kids films these days seem to center around body humor(ie fart "comedy"), kids that are smart mouthed knowit alls, falling down comedy, or smarmy awww situations.
Tinker Bell has none of that.
Born of the first laugh of a baby; we see a dandelion seed make it's way to Neverland. Guided by a pixie; it lands in the great tree of Pixie Hollow and Tinker Bell appears. One thing I thought was clever was the fact her dress still looked like a dandelion feather. She is greeted by the other fairies and soon the queen appears to set her wings and see what skill she has to offer. I liked the fact she picked things such as a little girl would choose. Flower, dew drop, light and she ignores the hammer which in turn goes to her. She is a tinker. At first she thinks it's interesting but instead of the great beauty of the garden fairies, the light fairies or the water fairies, she finds it to be rather "nurdy" and can't accept it. Why can't she be one of the other fairies? Add to the fact Tinkers do not go to the mainland which she want's to see simply because of the lost stuff she finds. Tink decides she doesn't want to be Tinker and wants to learn one of the other skills. Everything just doesn't work. In the end, she learns she is a tinker.
Many comments have said the plot is weak. Some times you simply have to sit back and take in the story and be entertained versus look for some meaning in every shot. This film is aimed at children and should be viewed as such; which if you are young at heart, it will be fun.
I found the characters to be engaging and fun in their own way. The animators did a good job in giving Tink that childlike fascination with the unknown which most adults seem to loose.
The animators also stayed true to Pan especially when you see Neverland and when they eventually make it to London. My daughter was excited to see a cameo by the young Wendy Darling.
The scenery was brilliant. They really did a good job of creating a new world with the linking of nature to the magic of the fairy. Each character is influenced by nature as you will see in the personalities, clothing, etc.
One scene I just can't help laughing is when Tink shoots a squirrel in the head with a nut. He just looks, makes a sad face and walks away trying hard not to cry. My daughter keeps getting mad every time I laugh.
This type of film can fall to "smarmyness" and such areas were adeptly handled as when Tink talks to the dust handler and he tricks her into realizing her job is important and she should be proud of it.
The music of the film has a Celtic style which just goes with the imagery.
I found the extras interesting. Especially the making of piece and the tour of Pixie Hollow. At first I thought they cut corners and you don't get a tour of all the areas of pixie hollow; then I remembered we didn't get heavily into the other areas so a discussion of the winter fairies would have been wasteful.
There are the usual deleted scenes. Some were good to be cut, one was a nice looking scene but it really didn't have a place, another that should have been in the movie was Tink trying to be a Garden fairy.
Do watch the making of piece as it explains their process and I found it reminded me of what Disney did to make Bambi. They made a real effort to be faithful to Pan and to interject nature and the artists wandered through nature looking for inspiration for ideas. If you didn't pick up on it in the movie, it will be made clear.
Again, this was a fun film and it's the first of a series. I was not interested at first but I am glad I did watch and am looking forward to the next installment. I will add this movie interested my girl into wanting the books for the Disney Fairy series. Anything that makes a child want to read is a mark of quality in itself.
