Sherrill777 The Bad:Our title character has almost zero points in common with her character from Peter Pan, nor does Peter Pan seem to exist in this universe (we certainly never see him in any of the Tinker Bell series films). The plot is not terribly clever (and I don't feel that just because this is a film aimed at young kids that you need to be overly formulaic) and most of the fairies – who look so interesting – get very little screen time. Tinker Bell's "talent" feels like lazy writing rather than something clever (and, although this doesn't affect the rating on this movie, the rest of the series seems to mostly ignore this idea for Tinker Bell). The Good:Tinker Bell seems to have had a personality make-over (probably because she is actually so unlikable in Peter Pan). Now she has more emotions besides jealousy and anger. And she can speak! There's also a "village" beyond living with the lost boys – with more fairies! This is certainly the best part – all those other fairies have the potential to be so interesting! You want to get to know them and see their 'talents'. Tinker Bell's talent, is not a stereotyped "girl's skill", which is nice since this movie is heavily marketed towards little girls. The look of the film is nice. Although there has been much better CGI since this was made, it is still bright and colorful. The Mom view:There is nothing objectionable about the film and while predictable for an adult, a young child might not see the end coming and enjoy Tinker Bell's discovery along with her. The moral of the story – finding what you are good at and being happy in that – is not bad, but it might also be seen as "don't try things you aren't skilled at", which isn't as good of a lesson to absorb. I'd be willing to let my preschool/toddler kids see this – including the boys – but it's not the most interesting or well done movie out there for young kids. Uunless you have a child who absolutely loves fairies (NOT one who loves Peter Pan), this is pretty skip-able.

Eric Stevenson I guess I didn't like this as much as most people, but it's still a good movie. This is notable in marking the end of the direct to video Disney sequels everyone was complaining about to make room for the Tinker Bell movies. I think they were actually made by the same studio, but these do seem to be a step up from them. This movie actually tells us about Tinker Bell's name. I never thought of her as an actual tinkerer. In this movie, she tries her hand at various other things besides tinkering. There's some pretty creative ideas here.I just like the idea of the tulips running around with their little legs. I actually find the ending to be quite unique. It turns out that her special talent was tinkering all the time. I mean, that's pretty original for a kid's movie. She tried to do other things, but it turns out she was best at the thing she was originally supposed to do. That is a pretty interesting message for a movie. There's some pretty amusing moments in here and while not a Disney classic, certainly not bad at all. I like when they use all the objects at the end. ***

Kristine One of my favorite childhood films is Peter Pan, the Walt Disney version. Say what you want about it, it may be flawed, but I still love watching it today. It also introduced us to one of Disney's ultimate bad girls, Tinker Bell. She was sexy, she was bad and she didn't hide it whatsoever. Modeled after Marilyn Monroe, she's one of Disney's true little beauties who fought for her true love and despite everything that she did to hide it, she really does have a good heart. I think that's what makes her so appealing to a lot of girls, we could relate to her. How many of us are "friends" with a guy that we are in love with, but he doesn't notice back and falls for another girl? Same with guys, we've all been in that situation. So Tink really is really true to the song "Stand By Your Man". Well, Disney saw her popularity and naturally made a spin off making her the star. I wasn't sure how it would work but decided to give it a shot.Tinker Bell is born from the first laugh of a baby, and is brought by the winds to Pixie Hollow. She learns that her talent is to be one of the tinkers, the fairies who make and fix things. Two other tinker fairies, Bobble and Clank, teach her their craft, and tell her about the fairies who visit the mainland to bring each season. Tinker Bell is thrilled and cannot wait to go to the mainland for spring. After meeting other nice fairies, she notices Vidia, a fast-flying fairy who immediately dislikes her because of her unusually strong talent. Vidia challenges her to prove she will be able to go to the mainland, and Tinker Bell creates several inventions, which she shows to the Minister of Spring. But Tinker Bell soon learns from Queen Clarion that only nature-talent fairies visit the mainland. Tinker Bell still wants to go to the mainland and asks Vidia for help in becoming a garden fairy. Vidia craftily tells her that capturing the sprinting thistles would prove her worth. However, once she sees Tinker Bell making progress, she lets the captured thistles loose, and in attempting to recapture them, Tinker Bell destroys all the preparations for spring. So can she get the land back to it's magical way and find her true talent? You'll have to see.Honestly, I should've known what I was getting into because I really didn't like this film. It was directly made for little kids, girls to be more specific, which I'm a woman, but the dialog and animation is just for a certain age group. The story is very predictable and Tinker Bell is completely different than what I grew up with. She's so cute and kind and like America's Sweetheart in this one. There's nothing about her that is like her original story, so if that's what you're looking for, don't bother seeing this film. Not to completely demolish it, the animation isn't the best but is very pretty to look at. I'd also say this movie would entertain your kids very much, it's got the good morals going on and a nice story. What kid doesn't want to believe in fairies after all? As a child, magic is wonderful and mysterious and fairies just make you feel good inside. Tinker Bell is still a little beauty that could melt your heart. So I would just recommend this one for the kids, it's not much that the adults could get into.5/10

Vastarien202 This was a wonderful movie! I think it was as good as anything Disney has done in last 15 years. What really set this apart from most of the DVD fare is the incredible score, with music from Loreena McKennit! I could really relate to Tink's desire to find who she is and why. I looked everywhere for MY Talent, and it's taken a long time for me to really be happy with myself just the way I am. That's one of the most important and easily forgotten things you can learn in your life, and I'm glad to see that in any movie. The only thing I would have changed was the addition of so much Pop in the soundtrack. I much prefer the orchestral and Choir work to the latest Tween princess crap. Give this a chance, at least a rental. Just enjoy it for what it is, and believe again.
