amour88 Tinker Bell is a surprising good direct to DVD. It tells the story of Tinker Bell's origins. It has plenty of charm and is pretty funny too. this movie shows you should be proud of your talents and not to try and be something you're not.At first Tink does not want to be a "tinker" but she comes to realize that she was born to be a "tinker". Her friends are supportive and always encourage her. Tink is a great character,she is hard working and loyal. She is a great role model to girls. She loves and is great at building things which you don't see too much in kids movies. Unlike most Disney movies she does not need a boy to rescue her.

Jackson Booth-Millard I had seen the original 1953 Disney animated film Peter Pan, and its sequel made nearly fifty years later, and I guess a film focusing on the famous pixie fairy sounded relatively interesting, so I watched it. Basically, the story is set in the world of fairies, who create the four seasons of the year and all components of them, such as the colour of leaves, snow, and much more. Born into this world as a fairy herself is Tinker Bell (Independence Day's Mae Whitman), who before settling in has to find her skill and talent, like all the fairies have, and she is selected by her tool as a "tinker". The tinker fairies are responsible for fixing things for all the four seasons such as the contraptions that help make things and stuff, specifically for Spring, but this job isn't as important as the other fairies talents. Tinker Bell is fascinated hearing about the Main Land, i.e. the human world, but she is disheartened to find out that as a tinker she cannot go to the Main Land. She knows the only way to be able to go is to have a talent that would be useful in the human world, so she tries her hand at using new skills in the four season lands, with no success. Her friends Rosetta (RV: Runaway Vacation's Kristin Chenoweth), Silvermist (Lucy Liu), Fawn (Ugly Betty's America Ferrera) and Iridessa (Raven-Symoné) are supportive, but Vidia (Pamela Adlon) is mean and keen to see her fail, and makes her mess up big time. Overseer Fairy Mary (Jane Horrocks), and of course Queen Clarion (Anjelica Huston) are devastated to see all the preparations for Spring have been ruined by the disastrous events caused by Tinker Bell, but she redeems herself by helping to fix everything. In the end, Vidia gets what she deserves for being mean, and Tinker Bell proves herself the hero by saving the Spring season ready for the Main Land, and as reward she is allowed to see it, and return a toy spinning ballerina back to its owner, a little girl named Wendy (of course). Also starring Jesse McCartney as Terence, Jeff Bennett as Clank, Rob Paulsen as Bobble and Loreena McKennitt as Narrator. The voice casting is not bad, the Scottish fairy with glasses and the fat one are obvious comic relief, the computer animation is relatively good for straight to video, and it is an okay story, so all in all, not a bad family animated adventure. Worth watching!

flyingamon 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!

dragoness My toddlers who are two and three love this movie, but it's so packed with kitsch that I can't bear to watch it.It's cloyingly sweet all the way through, reminds me of Thomas Kinkade paintings.I can't imagine it's good for little minds to form their visual taste on this kind of cheesy junk.I'm just surprised a respectable actress like Anjelica Houston would associate herself with such a project, but it makes sense that it went straight to DVD. Let that be a lesson to me never to buy straight-to-DVD anything in future.
