Great family entertainment!
By Dave
“Tinker Bell” has gotten a lot of online commentary, most of it negative, so I wasn’t really excited to watch my preview copy of this movie. I was VERY pleasantly surprised by what I saw. “Tinker Bell” is an enjoyable movie, perfect for children and even entertaining for adults. Based upon what I’d read previously, I would not have gone to a theater to see this; however, after watching it, I believe this movie is worthy of both big screen AND home entertainment viewing. Unfortunately, most of the banter has focused on the fact that Tinker Bell speaks. Personally, this is a minor point, as the animators have done a tremendous job of having Tinker Bell retain her spunky nature and movements that we all know from “Peter Pan (2-Disc Platinum Edition).”The story is fairly simple; Tinker Bell arrives in Pixie Hollow, where all the Fairies have talents. It is discovered that (no surprise) Tinker Bell’s talent is “tinkering” or fixing things. However, in Tink’s opinion, this is not very exciting. She’d rather be one of the Fairies who gets to take Spring to “the mainland” (aka London). As you can imagine, Tink’s early time at Pixie Hollow is filled with figuring out who she really is and that she is just as important as the other fairies who have more glamorous talents. There is plenty of humor, emotion, and visual beauty that helps elevate what seems like an oft-told tale.The animation is fantastic; although it is obviously computer generated, it is apparent that the level of the animators doing it is such that they focus on camera movements, lighting, color, and emotional nuances rather than just the basics. Still, the characters do still have somewhat of a doll-like/mechanical quality. The movement and facial emoting is a vast improvement over some of the early computer animation, but it does still have a little way to go.There is also a first-rate cast behind the scenes, giving the voices to these animated characters: Anjelica Huston (Queen Clarion), Lucy Liu (Silvermist), America Ferrera (Fawn), Kristin Chenoweth (Rosetta), Kathy Najimy (Minister of Summer), and my favorite, Jane Horrocks as the sassy Fairy Mary. The Celtic-inspired score by Joel McNeely is also enjoyable and the perfect accompaniment to the film.The extras include:* Tinker Trainer: Hone your skills as a Tinker Fairy in this activity* Magical guide to Pixie Hollow: Discover the Ancient Realm of Fairies with Tinker Bell* Ever Wonder: Discover how Fairies put the “wonder” in natural wonders. Combining special effects with live action, you are “shown” how grass grows between the cracks in the sidewalk, etc. A cute little featurette.* Creating Pixie Hollow: See how the filmmakers created this magical realm.* All-new music video, “Fly To Your Heart,” by Disney Channel’s Selena Gomez.* Deleted scenes include optional introductions by Bradley Raymond (director) and Jeannine Roussel (producer): “Queen Clarion’s Pixie Dust,” “Fairies Venture to the Mainland,” “Becoming a Garden Fairy,” “Tinker Bell’s Tinkering Talents,” “Vidia Tricks Tinker Bell,” “Fairies Express Tinker Bell’s Importance”While enjoyable, they are not really missed from the film.* Sneak previews, most notably the Blu-ray version of 1940′s “Pinocchio.” It looks fantastic! Being released March 2009.Blu-ray exclusive content:* Disney BD Live: Connect with Family & friends through this innovative movie-watching experienceMovie specs: on Blu-ray, 1080 HD/1:78:1 video, with English 5.1 Uncompress & English 5.1 Dolby Digital audio.

Seen it, LIKED it LOTS
By Manzoni
Saw this a week ago in Los Angeles at the El Capitan Theater. If you’re expecting a Pixar caliber story – look elsewhere. If you’re looking for Pixar artistry, this doesn’t quite reach those dizzying heights. But if you’re after quality Disney entertainment for the little ones in your family (especially the female ones) you can’t really do much better. I have a four year old girl, and this was the first movie (of three that we’ve seen together on the big screen) that she absolutely loved. She enjoyed Wall-E, but much of it went over her head. Horton Hears a Who, was also enjoyable and slightly too manic – but again, a lot of the wry humor and topical stuff she missed completely.This movie had her enthralled from beginning to end – and I have to say was far less than painful for me to watch as well. Now this isn’t a ringing endorsement that could be afforded a Toy Story 1 or 2 or Cars (which are great films for BOTH parent and child to enjoy) but I have to say this film completely outclasses the Disney straight to DVD sequels that I’ve seen (dreck like Cinderella 3 and Alladin 2 – YUCK) and simply blows away the Barbie movies (which though excruciating to watch at times, do captivate my little girl and are surprisingly pro-female).Tinkerbelle, ultimately, is not a film for the young and young at heart – as the great Disney movies are; but it is leaps and bounds above the usual straight to DVD product that they have been shilling for the past decade.The visuals are also light years beyond anything previously released in a straight to video format, and hold up to and even exceed the previous Disney CG features such as Chicken Little or Meet the Robinsons.If you’ve got a 3 to 8 year old little girl – this is a must get. Young boys will enjoy it too, there’s more than enough to sustain interest.

Lucky me! Saw it today at Disney World…sneak peak!!!
By Helen E. Ling
We are Disney passholders and were lucky enough to be invited to watch the movie this afternoon in it’s entirety at Disney World! Let me just say it was wonderful!! Both myself and my almost 4 year old daughter were mesmerized by the graphics, the color and the story. It is very well done and I hope everyone has the opportunity to see it on the big screen like we did today because it is just beautiful. FYI, there are 3 more movies to follow this one, hopefully on the big screen. The message of the movie is also great for kids, that we can’t all be good at everything but that’s ok! Tink is such a cute character as are the other fairies, I sometimes forgot they weren’t real! LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!
