Tinker Bell and the Legend of the NeverBeast

And this is coming from somebody who enjoyed all the Tinkerbell films, and thought that the series got better and better with each film. Tinkerbell and the Legend of the Neverbeast has everything that makes the previous Tinkerbell films as winning as they are, and delivers even more.

The animation was something was got better with each film, and Tinkerbell and the Legend of the Neverbeast for me was the best-looking Tinkerbell film along with Secret of the Wings. The animation contains some truly gorgeous colours,vibrant and stylish backgrounds, a lot of imaginative detail and all the characters are well-modelled with all their movements convincing and with little signs of stiffness. It looks and sounds great on the DVD, the clarity of the picture quality helps make the animation so striking, and makes it more vivid. While the sound soars just as well, the sound effects are authentic and those of the darker moments have a suitably booming intensity.

Tinkerbell and the Legend of the Neverbeast's music score is whimsical, energetic and beautifully done too, and while the songs are not many they are sweet and catchy (the opening song being the most memorable). The story is a little predictable but well-paced and full of charm, it also contains a lot more emotion than the previous Tinkerbell films and is the darkest of the lot without being too scary or misplaced. The final act is thrilling and remarkably poignant, and the 'don't judge a book by its cover' message is conveyed very appropriately and never heavy-handedly. The characters are very likable and engaging, and their chemistry still charms. Fawn and Gruff are particularly well-written, and it was easy to be moved by their relationship, and the conflict with Nyx is done believably without being too intense. The voice work is terrific, with Ginnifer Goodwin's lively turn being truly infectious and Mae Whitman, Rosario Dawson and Anjelica Huston are also strong.

My only real complaint with a film that has very little wrong with it is some of the dialogue. A good deal of parts are warm and witty, but others are a bit ropey and while it didn't hurt to keep the comedy scarce some of it is a touch too forced. In conclusion, a very enjoyable and well-executed film and the best Tinkerbell film to date. 8/10 Bethany Cox

This movie follows Fawn, an animal faerie, as she encounters a beast unknown to those of Pixie Hollow - the Neverbeast... all while going head to head with Nyx (a scout faerie), one of the protectors of Pixie Hollow.

I found this movie to be very endearing. It contained a level of emotion and depth that isn't always present in the other Tinkerbell movies... but it still contained that spunky Tinkerbell Charm. After watching this, I have a newfound appreciation for Fawn and her compassion for animals of all shapes and sizes. I'm hoping this might be the first of many Disney Faeries movies to focus primarily on Tinkerbell's close friends and their varying talents... rather than on Tink herself.

For anyone who has watched the other Tinkerbell movies, the plot is fairly predictable from the beginning... which is true of most of the other Tinkerbell movies.

I highly recommend this movie, but definitely have tissues at the ready! Trust me, I was not prepared to cry!

Not much Tinkerbell, but a good movie overall taking some risks by being a little darker in tone and not afraid to be emotionally poignant.

The plot isn't very new, but the execution makes it fit well into the world of Pixie Hollow and expanding its lore with the Legend of the Neverbeast.

Fawn is the star of this movie along with the beast she names Gruff. Fawn is an animal fairy who often gets caught in taking a liking to rather problematic creatures and therefore ends up hiding the Neverbeast from the stern Scout Fairies.

But there's more to the beast and it ends up being quite the opposite of what it's said to be.

The animation reaches a new height here especially in the climax with a great use of effects backgrounds looking grand. The fur on the beast is also quite well textured and the facial expression makes him convey convincing emotions with no need for words.

One of the best Tinkerbell movies even if Tink takes the backseat.

I'm so touched with this movie - I even cried twice. It is so bad when history write wrongly about us that lead to misunderstanding and misbehaviour towards us. It would be much worse when we do not know how or might not get the chance to explain. As people always refer to the past - this movie shows what written in the past is not always right. We need to open our heart and mind to accept what happen now.

This is my first time watching this sequel of Tinkerbell. I accidentally found the trailer of this movie on Youtube.com that lead me watching the whole story. I love this movie so much. Plus, the movie is not overrated (like any other movies), which is good. Now, I am digging the previous sequels of Tinkerbell and would like to see what the other movies will provide me.

By the way, I was thinking, why not the title be written as 'Fawn and the Never Beast' instead of 'Tinkerbell ...' as I guessed, the main actor for this movie is Fawn, not Tinker? I think I would find the answer if I watch the other Tinkerbell's movies.

Thank you for your time.

Tinker Bell and the Legend of the NeverBeast is an adventurous movie about Tinker Bell and her good friend Fawn, (Ginnifer Goodwin) an animal fairy with a big heart and an adventurous mind. As Fawn is flying through the forest, she notices a mysterious cave and hears a weird sound coming from inside. Fawn immediately flies inside the cave to see what is happening. Fawn discovers a mysterious creature that no one knows anything about. She begins to observe the creature and notices he does a lot of strange things. Fawn names him Gruff. Nyx and the other fairies try to capture the big green-eyed beast because they fear he will bring harm and danger to Pixie Hollow. Fawn tries her best to convince Tink, Nyx and their scout friends and fairies not to harm Gruff.

My favorite character is Nyx (Rosario Dawson). Nyx is apart of the Scout fairies. She protects the fairies in Pixie Hollow and tries to get rid of anything that would harm them. Nyx is very cool, confident and strong. She likes to get her job done.

My favorite scene is when Fawn tries to help Gruff hide from Nyx and the other fairies. As Fawn tries to hide Gruff in a secret place, he lets out a very loud and big sneeze and he sneezes on all the other fairies. It is really funny.

The message of this movie is not to judge people. Gruff is a creature that only wakes up every 1000 years for a special task. Everyone in Pixie Hallow thinks he is a bad beast. He is actually a nice creature.

The DVD/Blue-Ray combo has bonus features which include never before seen bonus extras, access to cool computer games, five ingredients to getting Gruff, The True Story of the Neverbeast and so much more!

Tinker Bell and the Legend of the Neverbeast is a fabulous movie. It will be available on DVD/Blue-Ray/Digital on March 3, 2015. I recommend it for boys and girls ages 3 to 10. I give this move 5 out of 5 shinning stars.
