All and well good this is a good move but the Tinkerbell here is not the Tinkerbell this dad with 2 daughters and a son grew up to love. I don't know why when a character is altered i.e. flat drawn to computer drawn or graphic to live person, The character of the character is changed. The addition of a voice also changed her. Gone is the impish fairy I grew up with and in her place is just another, albeit who can fly and is only inches tall, person.
She is now encumbered with situations that we earth-bound giants have. She now has common obligations and a work-a-day job. In "Peter Pan" she was a free spirit simply ruled by her emotions and her friendship/love of Peter Pan.

I bought this for my daughter's 3rd birthday, and it's her first full length Disney movie. Having a child makes you really rediscover and appreciate the wonder and magic of Disney and this movie is no exception. We watch it several times a week and I have yet to tire of it. It is a wonderful message for little girls, as opposed to the shameless incessant marketing of the Disney Princesses (when did they take ownership of all fairytales?). Tinkerbell is a working woman with big aspirations that are only realized when she is true to herself. The movie has very few scary scenes - nothing near as frightening as Ursula from Little Mermaid, or Cruella De Ville, or the death of Mufasa in the Lion King, so okay for even the youngest preschoolers. Good story, beautiful looking movie, very entertaining.

irst off, this movie had the potential to be interesting and magical and exciting. the elements for what could have made this movie great were there somewhere, they just weren't touched upon. this turned out to be a movie about 'everyone's and individual, just like you' and near the end when i discovered that this was the only moral i felt really disappointed. it's just one of those movies that will leave no mark on you, washboard quality. if you've ever seen the sequel to snow white, the cartoon version, i forget what it's called because yes it was just that bad, it is reminiscent of that.

now this would all have been fine and dandy if it was just another movie to sucker people out of 30 bucks or however much it costs... but it is a story about tinkerbell... from peter pan. it almost seriously offended me that anyone would stray so far from a wonderful, classic story like that and steal one of it's signature characters and turn it into this. such a bastardization of arguably one of the most memorable characters in children's classical literature... some one should be slapped, really hard. it offended me enough to go out and write this review, which probably isn't even that articulate because my mind is still boggled by the fact that these greedy, money sucking... people at disney wouldn't just create some other nameless character, not drag a classic one through the dirt. .. of course i doubt anyone would buy that nameless character because of late their story writing ability is far from decent... as this little jem proves.

there are other fairy stories out there, don't support this one.
