Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue (2010)

I wanted to but couldn't!

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

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

In vacations with my 7 years nephews, the evening was dedicated to a kid movie. This day, they chose this movie and I decided to watch it with them as I have always like the magic and poetry of the Peter Pan's world (and also because i told them that Thinker would be my wife...).In less than five minutes, I knew that this movie was a failure: it was a bit like the body snatchers has invaded Neverland: the characters were there (Tinker Bell, the young daughter, the blind parents, the English countryside) but inside, they were unrecognizable due to the huge appliance of clichés:First, the fairy world looks a lot like the hobbit and the Shire! Next, the fairies looks like models and their friends are the usual nerd and the gentle obese. We don't know why there's no mother in the movie and the father's working obsession is very badly explained: Spielberg's "Hook" was more natural (Robin hadn't enough time to do all things) but here, it's nearly as the father locks his kid in her room to work easily! The rescue operation is highly inspired from "Honey, I shrunk the kids" and we have always the American negative attitude towards cats!In conclusion, it's a soulless, industrialized, marketing animation that hurts severely the Disney's magic and that makes Funland far, far away indeed!

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 :)

Oh the challenge of reviewing a children's movie! I've just watched this with my six year old. She was reasonably entertained by it. I find myself comparing this sequel to 2008's "Tinkerbell." I thought that movie was better, in that it seemed to have a purpose to it - which helps to maintain the attention of an adult. The earlier movie introduced us to Tinkerbell in more detail than we've ever known her, and it provided an imaginative look at fairy life. This was a more straightforward adventure type movie. Tinkerbell finds herself captured by a little girl and the rest of the fairies set out to find her and bring her back to Pixie Hollow. There's a cuteness involved in watching the relationship between Tinkerbell and the little girl develop. There's some humour - particularly as the cat chases the fairies over the flying plates. Still, it seemed less substantial than its predecessor; the story not as interesting; the music (usually a strong point for Disney) very minimal.Make no mistake about it. This will please a six year old girl. For an adult the most satisfying part of this will not be watching the movie; it will be sitting and snuggling with the six year old girl who's watching the movie!

This British Disney Toon studios production is true pixie-dust for the hopeful family viewer. Astonishing 3D-like 2D imagery (why can't all films look this amazing?) is completely captivating and as an adult I felt myself being whisked into the genuine Disney magic of 60s films like MARY POPPINS and POLLYANNA......TINKERBELL FAIRY RESCUE has the absolutely most breathtaking visuals, computer driven but timeless and earthy in beauty and fantasy. This is a simple but clever and funny animated feature. And for little girls and their 56 year old daddies, there is a few tears and a lot of excitement to be shared. I really applaud the tone story and sheer gorgeousness of this utterly enchanting family film. TINKERBELL herself reminded me of 50s MGM Musical star and singing sensation Jane Powell at her most beautiful. What a success TINKERBELL FAIRY RESCUE is. If you were also gob-smacked at ARTHUR AND THE INVISIBLES' imagery that looked 3D but was actually 2D, then this too is for you and your family.
