Tinker Bell's curiosity gets her captured by a human girl who is obsessed with fairies. Overall this is a good movie. There is an expansion of the characters of Tinker Bell's fairy friends and Tink's characterization remains strong enough that I anticipated her actions. Lizzy, the human girl, is an idealistic version of a young girl and her father's character only serves the narrative. Which leads me to the finale that I felt was too convenient and the resolution was too sudden. I believe this movie is on par with the first in the series and therefore worth a watch.

I've seen the previews two Tinker Bell movies and by far this one is the best. This is how movies for young children should be made - yes it has adventures, fantasy creatures and magic, but at the same time the focuse is about the relation between a little girl and her father who dosen't aprove her to believe in faeries and magic. It's very ratable, sweet and charming, as well the bond between Tinker Bell and little girl. There are actually some funny jokes when it comes down to humor which is 100% safe for kids (no shock value) and it's great to see a film that dosen't really on pop-culture reference which is rare this day. Animation is good, characters are sympathetic, it's charming and has more then one good message for the kids. If you have kid between 4 and 7 they will love it! P.S. It's good to see Vidia becoming a good character :) In first movie she was almost a villain so the fact she evolves into much more positive character not only makes her more 3-dimentional but I think it's good for kids when you can have a very nasty character turn for better :)

I always forget how much I enjoy the simple world-building and sweet magic of this series. This was the last one I needed to see, and it only confirms my surprising fandom of the franchise.

Considering I wrote the film, and it mirrored the relationship I had with my daughter at the time, I may have to recuse myself from a review. I know she loved it as did many kids around the world. Tinker Bell is a rockstar.

Silly and glittery, with bog-standard animation, but efficient entertainment for the tweenie demographic.

Normal paint-and-brush animation. Normal Hollywood fairies, looking like Barbie and sounding like Valley High school graduates.

It's not that the film says, explicitly, 'science is bad and girls shouldn't be scientists'. It is much odder than that.
