Saw this movie today (9/26/08) with my young nieces at a special El Capitan Theatre preview in Los Angeles. We were all delighted by Tink's excellent backstory, the ingenious story and the handsomely rendered 3-D animation. Cast is uniformly excellent, including Lucy Liu, Kristen Chenoweth and Anjelica Houston. This was much better than some of the theatrically released Disney animated films I've seen (notably "Atlantis"), making it among the best of the Mouse's direct-to-video titles. Well worth checking out with your kids, but don't be surprised if you find a tear in your own eye at the conclusion of this delightful surprise.

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.

I never thought I would enjoy a movie centered around Peter Pan's anger-prone fairy compagnon, but she was surprisingly likable in this prequel spin-off thingy.

Story's pretty standard, she comes to the land of fairies and must prove that she fits in among the orher fairies, gets into a feud with one and ends up discovering that being herself is her own talent.

And to its credit, it looks really good for a direct-to-video movie.

I saw this movie last Saturday when they showed it randomly on Disney Channel (in Norway) and I was pleasantly surprised. I've seen some trailers and clips from this movie and the animation looked quite good, so although my expectations weren't the highest, I still hoped that "Tinker Bell were going to be a watchable picture - which it turned out to be.

It's a shame that this film wasn't released on theaters, cause, like Brettster said, it was much better than Disney's recently theatrical releases ("Chicken Little", "The Wild") and a whole lot better than the previous "Peter Pan"-cartoon, "Return to Neverland".

Anyway, about the movie; It is very sweet in many ways. The mood is reminiscent at the Disney features from the 90's. The animation is absolutely beautiful and detailed and the delightful score (which is sometimes Irish inspired) provides the sweet, enchanting mood of the film. The characters are cute and adorable and the moral is a good one. The movie is a film that families can safely watch together.

And then there's the songs; "Tinker Bell" doesn't contain many songs, which is good, cause often the songs on Disney's non-theatrical releases are quite mediocre. While the songs on "Tinker Bell" aren't memorable, they are not disturbing neither and are quite all right.

So do your self a favor and check out "Tinker Bell"

I admit, I am a fan of Tinker Bell (something a 22 year old MALE wouldn't approve of, like me), and I've always wanted to see this enchanting but short film. It's magical in every way.

Tinker Bell is born as a tinker, a fairy who makes teapots out of nuts. She does not approve of this and wants to be like the other fairies that travel to the mainland. But when she tries to be something that she isn't, she creates disaster. She soon learns that being who you really are can be useful if you just believe in yourself.

What really surprised me in this film was the cast. Most of these cast members you'll already know, like Mae Whitman (best known as Katara from Avatar: The Last Airbender), America Ferra (TV's Ugly Betty), Rob Paulsen (Danny Phantom) and even Steve Valentine (TV's Crossing Jordan).

Overall, this is a very sweet and funny film that, despite its short running time, will leave its magic mark of pixie dust with you forever. It certainly did it on me! ^_^

i am obsessed with Tinkerbell too, just like other people who wrote comments. also i have read peter pan and researched into James Barrie's life for hours on end, but I still loved this movie. it was adorable and cute and even though they changed the feisty Tinkerbell that was, it was placed before peter pan. no, she can't talk in peter pan but it's probably because she is so small maybe human's couldn't hear her but since peter pan was magical he could hear her so they just didn't make her lines. no, it's not exactly what Barrie wrote but i still think he would be pleased with the movie. it was very creative and i loved it!

I think what one can say about one Tinkerbell movie (Peter Pan doesn't count) can be said for all of them.

They are not the pinnacle of Disney excellence but they are all a pretty safe. If you want to hedge your bets and find a movie you can watch with your little sister (or brother, I'm a male myself) then these are worth being familiar with.

Although TInk herself has a design that translates awkwardly to CGI, watch you can count on is majestic world building, rich scenery, several sexy girls with with those enchanting American accents, a swell sense of humour and a life affirming message in the end. They do not over stay their welcome either.

You know what you're in for from the very title. They're made on a conveyor belt to satisfy little girls (yes, they're targeting girls no matter how much us boys enjoy them) in that short span of time after they've learned to talk and before they discover what make up is.

But it's a superior conveyor belt and is at the very worst a distraction that won't leave a sour taste in your mouth.

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.

My 3 year old daughter absolutely adores this movie. In fact, she likes it better than many of the more highly touted Disney theatrical releases.

The character of Tinker Bell is truly charming, and in my opinion, much more enjoyable than the classical portrayal in Peter Pan. Sue me, I LIKE that Tink can speak. She's still gutsy, and independent, but in this movie has far better motivations for her actions than jealousy over Peter Pan.

All of the faeries' characterizations were entertainingly done, and I like that they all had their own "thing" going on. Other plus points include some really pretty animation (young girls in particular will love the eye-popping colors and the liberal use of sparkle) and a good overall message. Both my daughter and myself enjoyed the celtic-inspired score and tunes, so if your child likes different types of music other than just top 40 pop, she/he should enjoy this as well.

My only minor quibble is that at times the dialogue is a tad insipid and inane, and the over-use of the term "Sweetie" when the faeries are addressing each other.

For a movie that was designed for the home DVD market, I think that this one delivers much more bang for your entertainment buck than many of the big budget theatrical releases.

Wow Mae Whitman also voiced Amity Blight ( The Owl House), Kristin Chenoweth voiced Gabby ( Río 2) and Maleficent ( Descendants). Even though I like The Owl House, Río 2 and Descendants, i think this movie ruined the Peter Pan franchise i would prefer to watch Bolt and Wall.e better than this movie.

At first, I was not expecting much from Tinkerbell, but it was much better than I expected. While too short with some moments of insipid dialogue, Tinkerbell is a cute and entertaining movie that never tries to be anything more than it is.

The film looks surprisingly great, initially I was expecting something along along the lines of all gloss no depth, but the look is clean and quite warm with gorgeous colours and all the fairies look convincing.

The music I also loved. The score is somewhat Celtic-inspired, and it is really lovely and soothing and the tunes are memorable without being too twee. The story is very simple, but it is very sweet with a good message that doesn't feel forced or preachy.

The characters are really quite engaging. I have never hated Tinkerbell as much as others did in the Disney Peter Pan movie, which is not a Disney favourite but I like it very much for the music, but she is much more likable here and the fact that she isn't jealous or stubborn here will make her easy to relate for the younger crowd.

The voice work is on paper of high-calibre, and in the film they do do sterling jobs. Mae Whitman is very emotive and resourceful in the title role, but the standout for me was the immensely talented Anjelica Huston who is really quite excellent, also she is a presence that adults will thoroughly enjoy.

In conclusion, a cute and fun little movie. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Tinker Bell was surprisingly entertaining, I appreciated the jokes and found that she was more than just Peter Pan "sidekick". Will watch all of the series like I did with Bhc and Garfield.

As is always the case with Disney movies, the animation in "Tinker Bell" is absolutely top notch - drawn with an obviously delicate touch, realistic and very, very beautiful. I also have to also give credit to whoever thought up the idea of making the movie. Tinker Bell is a Disney character everyone knows, but about whom we know virtually nothing, so the idea of filling in the little fairy's past was a good one, as was the thought of giving us a glimpse of how fairy life is organized. Personally, though, I thought the story was a bit too advanced for little ones. I also didn't think that - aside from Tinker Bell herself - any of the characters in this movie were particularly memorable, and I was extremely disappointed with the music. Disney can usually be counted on for finding memorable songs to go along with their movies, but the music here was, again, not something that I thought young kids would relate well too, and certainly I won't be singing any of the Gaelic-inspired tunes that were used here. Essentially, it was a nice idea that could probably have been better presented. 5/10

we,people from India(me and many friend) Like all part of tinker bell.we need or want more like these.so kindly create more animation specially tinker bell. i think this kind of concept and imagination is great.it also better for children.and also these animation make mind free,nice,peaceful. make you a dream man. there is another animation which help to thought about animals.yes its about ice age.i know its not yours.but good is good.however we wait for tinker bell part 7/8/9/10,………………… i don't know about other country or other people but we Indian,king of emotions.always like these movie

I really liked this movie very much. The story is really beautiful and also the animation is very lovely. If you consider what kinds of rubbish the kid's channels on TV present to us nowadays you have to consider this movie a masterpiece really. The audience group would be mostly little girls I guess but even I as an adult enjoyed watching it because it's such a nice story with lovely characters and a predictable but beautiful ending.

One must not expect the Tinkebell in this movie to be the one from Peter Pan, the character here is a lot different, however I wouldn't let this fact influence my rating for this movie because I think it would be unfair to give a good movie a bad rating only because of this.

So to anyone who loves Fantasy stories and fairy tales I would definitely recommend to watch this movie (with or without children).

For me that cartoon is good, but Tinker Bell here is not the Tinker Bell from Peter Pan... It might be the same person but she's not the same person, not same character... Just not the same... But still good and cute. Not really any bad character in the movie, that is relaxing and very different of most where there are villains... The worst "villain" here is another fairy, jealous for actually no reason, just like kids fight, not real ones... But just forget about Peter Pan and all that, it's not the same... If you think it's Peter Pan fairy, you'll hate that movie... If you see it differently well you might like it :)
