Tinker Bell and the Pirate Fairy (2014)

Redundant and unnecessary.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

While the film doesn't give you a date, it apparently takes when Captain Hook still had hands and Peter Pan was not a round. Zarina tinkers with pixie dust and becomes a master alchemist to the dismay of her boss. She runs off with a group of pirates (that explains the hair) and robs the community of all of their dust. Our brave group of fairies, lead by Ms. T. Bell go after the dust...but wait! Zarina has swapped their powers which creates some fun confusion.This was an enjoyable film, one you will have fun sitting through with the kids/grandkids. The fairies provide a positive role model for girls as they are assertive and perform typical male tasks, but do so in a fashion as to still be girls

Review: This movie is definitely for kids. When I first heard the singing at the beginning, I was really tempted to switch it off, but it does pick up once the pirates get involved. There are a couple of amusing moments, but it's your typical fairy Disney movie, which the kids will always love. The whole fairy dust thing does become a bit tedious after a while, but if your into the Tinker Bell franchise, then you will know what to expect. I was surprised that this was the 5th instalment of Tinker Bell, so I'm completely new to this whole world. Anyway, the kids will love it and I'm sure some adults wouldn't mind it either. Not For Me!Round-Up: No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get to grips with this film. I totally understand that it is not made for us older male folk, but I thought that I would give it a go for my younger nephews sake. Anyway, the audiences must have loved this movie, judging by the takings, so for family fun, I'm sure that it works in many aspects.Budget: N/A Worldwide Gross: $42millionI recommend this movie to people who are into the Tinker Bell series, which is full of fairies and magical fairy dust. 3/10

I went to see this at the cinema and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think out of all the TinkerBell movies that I have seen (I have watched all of them apart from 'Secret of The Wings') this is possibly the most interesting as the plot happens outside Pixie Hollow and it also has a bit of a mystical feel to it. Most young girls will like this film, but also, people like me who like fantasy, fairies, animations and bright cheerful things. It is very neat and tidy. The only slight let down is that this movie would have been a good opportunity to feature Captain Hook, but then again, perhaps that would have got it too mixed up with the Peter Pan franchise. All in all, a wonderful movie to brighten up anyone's day. I gave this an 8/10 because it was so great!

I'm sure anyone who is a dyed-in-the-wool follower of the Tinkerbell series of movies (like me) will be more than delighted with the latest instalment - Tinkerbell and the Pirate Fairy. A year ago, Tinkerbell and the Secret of the Wings totally blew me away. (So much so that I was extolling that film's praises for several months afterwards.) Well, I'm delighted to say that the same thing (extolling of praises) is pretty much certain to happen with me about this film too! Tinkerbell and the Pirate Fairy simply brims with delightful characters old and new. The plot is superb. Original, intelligent, witty and well constructed (ie there are no discrepancies in the narrative and all loose ends are satisfyingly tied up by the end of the movie). Zarina, the new fairy, is a wonderful addition to the cast. In many ways Zarina's particular 'talent' drives her to behave in ways we have become used to associating with Tinkerbell herself - ie she is inquisitive, takes risks and feels herself impelled to go beyond Pixie Hollow's previously established (and generally accepted) boundaries. I liked that there was plenty of good natured interaction this time among Tinkerbell's regular cohort of friends (Vidia, Iridessa, Silvermist and Rosetta) and many times something one or another of them said would cause me to chuckle with mirth. The action of the skirmishes between the fairies and the pirates is thrillingly animated. Finally, I thought the artwork throughout was top notch and the music, whether sung or instrumental, was both subtle and fitted well with the visuals. There is vastly more that I found enjoyable in this film (told you I'd be extolling the film's praises didn't I!) but I think you've probably heard enough from me by now. Whatever your age or gender (I'm a sixty something male), give yourself a treat ... go see Tinkerbell and the Pirate Fairy. My bet is you won't be disappointed. (Go with a little 'faith, trust and pixie dust' and you'll enjoy it even more!) 10/10.
