Movie Reviews of Tinker Bell
Movie Review: best female protagonist in a Disney feature...ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
I never gave much thought to the female protagonists in Disney animated movies until I had children. Since then, it's hard to believe it took THIS LONG for Disney to develop a strong, admirable female lead for their animation franchise. When our family first watched this film, I thought it was a little cheesy, but, by the second viewing, really loved the film. The writers don't dumb things down for their audience, which I appreciate (my girls know what "elucidate" means because of this movie!) and the overall theme is really wonderful for girls of any age, but especially preschoolers. Tinker Bell is hardworking, creative, strong-willed, and a true inventor. There's a brief lovey moment with a boy fairy, Terrance, but this is a girl-centric Disney movie with NO ROMANCE! It is fantastic! There's no prince to rescue her, no damsel-in-distress scenario here -- Tinker Bell can figure things out for herself, and, happily, does.Movie Review: Great message and great fairie fun for all
Summary: 5 Stars
I was dreading watching this with my[...]... some of the Disney straight to video DVDs are downright awful. This was a pleasant surprise. I loved the animation, the colors and, for all you princesses - all the sparkle. This straight to DVD is nearly worthy of Cars and the Incredibles - my two favorite Pixar movies - high praise indeed.
The message was great, too - be proud of who you are. Each fairy has a special talent. Tinker Bell's is, well, to tinker, build and fix things, which she finds boring compared to the nature fairies who paint flowers, capture rainbows and make dew drops on spiderwebs. She tries to become a nature fairy and fails only to almost ruins Spring. Using her given talent, she is able to save Spring with the help of friends.
I would recommend this for children up to age 5, girls of all ages and adults that love the Disney/Pixar magic. This in now one of my favorites!
Movie Review: Best Disney little girls movie I've seen yet
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter got this for Christmas and has watched it by herself a couple of times. I finally sat down & watched it with her, and I have to say that 2nd to Cinderella this has to be the best Disney movie I've ever seen for little girls. Even for an adult, it was fun to watch and the message is wonderful -- be who you are. There are no scary parts or inapproprite things like so many other movies supposedly for little kids (we have yet to make it through any other Disney kids movie besides Cinderella because of a major scary element, such as the sea witch in LIttle Mermaid, Malificent in Sleeping Beauty, the witch in Snow White, the Beast in Beauty & the Beast). I hope Disney makes other movies to follow up on this, drawing on the great Disney Fairy books (also big faves in our house, including the audio books which are fantastic). I would give this 10 stars if I could. Get it!Movie Review: A great new story from Disney
Summary: 5 Stars
I was gladly surprised with this new flick from the Disney Studios. The animation was amazing: not a surprise, considering Pixar's boss John Lasseter was the Exec. Producer. But the visuals were not the only element that made Tinker Bell a great movie overall:
* The music very appropriately complements the whole fairy theme, courtesy of Sarah McLachlan, one of the world's greatest Celtic singers.
* The storyline takes this character born in the Peter Pan story and gives it a very detailed life, creating a whole mythology around her.
The result is a fun story that occasionally brought to mind Bee Movie (specially in terms of some of the elements of the story) but delivered in great Disney fashion.
I highly recommend the movie to anyone seeking a good family DVD to get for the holidays.
Movie Review: A Sweet Way to Learn a Lesson
Summary: 5 Stars
I had no expectations for this movie, other than the fact that my 4 year old wanted it for her birthday. I was pleasantly surprised that this movie not only told the wonderful story about the origin of Tinker Bell, but it also taught a valuable lesson in being proud of who you are (because we sometimes wish we were like someone else). The meaning of this would go over the heads of younger children, but it's perfect timing for my 4 year old who is more aware of the differences between herself and her friends. This helps me reinforce that it's GOOD to be different!
Besides the lesson to be learned, the scenes in the movie are breathtaking. The colors... the details... the characters... all of them come to life in a technicolor explosion! Gorgeous! Plus, the storyline is just very sweet.
