Movie Reviews of Tinker Bell
Movie Review: Fairie Fix
Summary: 5 Stars
My 4 yr old has been asking for this for months. It gave her a constant fairie fix and she is thrilled with it.Movie Review: Enchanting, Magical, and Simpy Sparkling!
Summary: 5 Stars
Reasons the movie, Tinkerbell is enchanting, magical and sparkling:
1. The computer graphics are unlike anything I've ever seen before. They are clear, crisp, and the colors are so magical and vivid you feel as though you are there.
2.It is obvious that the creators of this movie had a tremendous respect for faerie-lore because it is NOT hokey or "cheesy" in any way. The realm of fairies is sacred to me and I was not insulted in the least.
3. Never a dull moment. There was always something magical happening on screen.
4. The imagination was ASTOUNDING. The creators of the show blew me away with their imaginative creations.
5. A lot of emotion and feeling behind the film, deep messages and meaning.
6. Many people might view this next point as a negative, but I do not: there were NO musical moments--no singing and no over-the-top cheesy, kiddie songs.
7. Speaking of music, the orchestral music played throughout the film was touching, soft and sparkly. It had a very Celtic vibe which fits into the genre of fairies. Hence, why I agree with #6. Musicals would not have suited the film. I believe that the creators made the correct musical decisions.
8.Children and adults are mesmerized by the film. This is not just a children's movie. My husband actually liked it as much as I did!
9. Character development was strong. All characters are likable.There are male characters who bring much humor to the film.
10.Very unique, atypical fairy story, very enchanting.
Movie Review: This is how Disney should be done!
Summary: 5 Stars
You see a lot of reviews saying how little kids will love this movie, well, I'm 43 and I don't have any kids, and I thought this was one of the best Disney videos I've seen in years.
Full of color and light and fun, an uplifting message, gorgeous animation, and a wonderfully imaginative take on the fairies' world, I enjoyed this movie so much I went to work the next day and told everyone about it.
If you want to recapture that feeling of innocence, joy, and imagination that you used to have as a kid watching the Wonderful World of Disney or seeing the Disney cartoon movies for the first time, this is the way to go. A sweet, charming, cheerful movie, with great characters that I'll be happy to see again. And I'll get to, since there are apparently a couple of sequels coming out. I sincerely hope they hold up to this standard.
By the way, I watched my copy in 3D with a pair of TV Eyes 3-D glasses I found online. This movie looks fantastic in 3D, almost like it was made for it! That may be responsible for part of my enthusiasm. I definitely suggest watching it in 3D if you have the chance. It's amazing.
I've noticed Disney has finally started to go back to it's roots, making more imaginative, wonderful, and heartwarming stories again (instead of just refilming old movies) if this video is an example of the way they're headed, then I'm back on the train for the ride. This may be about an old character, but it's a fresh new movie in it's own right. If I'd never heard of Tinker Bell I'd still think it was excellent entertainment.
Movie Review: The dust she sprinkles still has great potency
Summary: 5 Stars
J.M. Barrie first created the character Tinker Bell to appear in a play (Peter Pan) and then in a novel (Peter and Wendy) but her worldwide popularity is no doubt largely the result of her appearance in the Disney film that first appeared in 1953, Peter Pan. Tinker Bell later became the official Disney "mascot" in versions of the television series variously known as Walt Disney Presents, Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color, The Wonderful World of Disney, and The Magical World of Disney. The point is, she has been a major entertainment figure for more than 50 years and, at one point, was so popular that she received more fan mail than all others, including Marilyn Monroe.
Of course, children could not care less about her history but they continue to be delighted by her charm and energy. Tinker Bell is by nature a creature whose greatest talent is to "tinker" with whatever needs to be repaired; rather than pots and pans, she uses fairy dust that enables children to fly. Children love to explore secret places as when following Alice down a rabbit hole, or Peter Pan and the Darling children through an open bedroom window and then high above London at night, sailing with Geppetto, Figaro, and Cleo into Monstro's stomach, or visiting Pixie Hollow where Tinker Bell and the other fairies live. As in countless other Disney features, the production values in this film are outstanding, the music is seamlessly integrated with the plot developments, and the humor is appropriately playful. Also, I think the running time (78 minutes) is just right for younger children.
No need to list the special features. Others have listed them and they do add substantial value, although the younger grandchildren with whom I see them seem interested only in the games whereas I much prefer the background material. Some animated features (including the Disney classics as well as several produced by DreamWorks and Pixar) have an almost unlimited shelf-life, retaining great appeal throughout and among various age groups. I doubt if that will be true of Tinker Bell or, for that matter, Peter Pan. However, that said, I think that as for those who have seen it, as they grow older, they will still enjoy seeing it again and again if only to observe the delight of their younger companions. The fairy dust has lost of its potency after all these years...and never will. How wonderful!
Movie Review: Finally! A Disney movie that didn't scare my girls!
Summary: 5 Stars
We love Disney, and their movies...but it is so nice to finally have a movie that I don't have to skip through the "scary parts" for my two young girls. They absolutely loved every beautiful moment of this wonderful family movie. I also thoroughly enjoyed it myself!
