Movie Reviews of Tinker Bell
Movie Review: Three years old, three days owned, three days watched.
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter received the new Tinkerbell DVD from her Grammy for her third birthday this weekend. She was already a Tinkerbell fan, and I her rather grudging dealer of Tinkerbell paraphanalia. I knew she'd love this movie, but I had my doubts; after all, the Tinkerbell I knew from Peter Pan was pretty headstrong, shallow, selfish, and even impulsively murderous. (Not exactly my favorite role model for my little girl.)
However, this re-created Tinkerbell is much more appropriate-- to my delight! It's definitely a movie for children (ie girls), not for the adults-- but there's nothing violently scary, and plenty to love about what they might absorb by watching:
You don't have to be the "star" to be vital and important.
Value does not lie in glamourous appearance or work.
There is happiness in being who you really are and not trying to imitate others.
There can be forgiveness from your authorities if you make a big mistake.
Helping others succeed is joyful and meaningful work.
Recycling and reusing is a virtue.
Always try to fix what you've screwed up.
...and probably more, but those are my favorites. All in all, I'm delighted. Hooray for the new Tinkerbell, who has a job other than flitting around trying to off Wendy and keep Peter all to herself.
Movie Review: Very cute!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very cute movie all about the origins of Peter Pan's sidekick Tinkerbell, and the trials and tribulations she goes through in her quest for self-discovery. I showed this movie to the students in my classroom during our Halloween party, and they all loved it, even the boys! I loved it, too!
It's a very easy movie to fall in love with, really. Tinkerbell is such a sweet, kindhearted and determined character, it's hard to believe she's the same jealous, spiteful little witch who tried to kill Wendy in Peter Pan. Her gaggle of pixie girlfriends are all very cute and likable, and her nerdy guy friends are really funny. The storyline is typically Disney, all about loving and accepting yourself as you are. And just like a typical Disney flick, it brought a tear to my eye!
This is an adorable, enjoyable film, and extremely well-made considering it is a straight-to-dvd movie. (let's be honest folks, As good as Disney movies are, their straight-to-dvd selection is sorely lacking in the quality department.) And from what I understand, this film suffered a number of setbacks and the original script had to be scrapped as it was practically unwatchable. Well, they certainly came a long way! I'll definitely be picking up subsequent Tinkerbell films, much to the delight of my students.
Movie Review: Solid movie even parents will enjoy
Summary: 5 Stars
My 2 year old girl loves Tinkerbell. After being scared to death by "Peter Pan" at first, she really took a liking to Tinkerbell later on. So, we thought she would enjoy this movie. She really did, and to my surprise, my wife and I did as well. The story and execution are on a level that will keep adults engaged, as in all the best Disney outings. Technically, "Tinkerbell" is a very well done movie, with smooth animation and creative artwork, and top-notch voice talent. Kristin Chenoweth is always good, and "Tinkerbell" is no exception. The story is also a great one for little girls, with the theme that you should follow your special talent and do what you like and are good at, no matter what other people might think. And, as an engineer myself, I like the fact that "Tinkerbell" informs us that Tinkerbell is an engineer, and she's good at it. Not every girl will grow up to be an engineer or scientist, but it's good to make sure they know that it's OK to do that if they want. Tinkerbell is a good sci/tech role model for little girls, as she singlehandedly uses her advanced engineering skills to save the day. And that is a sentence I never thought I would ever write!
This is a slam-dunk no-brainer buy for any girls 2-8, and probably even a little older.
Movie Review: Very cute movie, can't wait for the sequel
Summary: 5 Stars
Enter the magical world of fairies and meet the enchanting creatures of Pixie Hollow, who bring about the change of the seasons. Changing the colors of the leaves, melting snow, waking animals from their winter slumber, or giving blooming flowers a sprinkle of water are all within the realm of these seasonal specialists. Tinker Bell thinks her fairy talent, as a "tinker" isn't as special or important as the other fairies' talents. So Tinker Bell tries to change her specialty that has been chosen for her and she creates nothing but one disaster after another! With encouragement from her friends Rosetta, Silvermist, Fawn and Iridessa, Tink learns the key to solving her problems lies in her unique tinker abilities and discovers that when she's true to herself, magical things can happen.
Tinker Bell is an amazing film and probably my favorite Disney film so far. Tinker Bell was released in October of 2008. The sequel is going to be released soon and is available for pre-order Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure. I heard that a third in the series called Tinker Bell A Midsummer Storm is in production and will be released next year. I highly recommend this film.
Movie Review: Simply dazzling!
Summary: 5 Stars
I will not get into the plot of "Tinker Bell" as other reviewers have touched on it. I just want to say that I am a nearly 58-year-old married man with no kids but I really, really enjoyed this DVD! I am a serious DVD collector with 2,000 DVDs. I have an animated section in my collection and "Tinker Bell" will now be one of the top picks in that section.
The color, the graphics are simply dazzling! I cannot even watch the old Disney classics anymore because they look so stone age compared to the animated DVDs that are being put out now. In fact I have traded all the old Disney DVD classics like "Snow White", "Bambi" because they look so ancient.
We watched "Tinker Bell" on our Sony 55-inch LCD TV last night and the colors are so rich and vibrant! I must mention that I also have a Sony upconvert DVD player as well that I use. It has made all the difference in the world. I do not have a Blu-Ray player yet because they are over-priced and they have their problems still.
But treat yourself by getting this DVD and be sure that you have an upconvert DVD player (they sell for about $75 or so at Wal-Mart). They play the regular DVDs at a higher quality level (not quite Blu-Ray) but it still looks nice! This is sure to be a true Disney Classic!
