Trilli e la creatura leggendaria

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.

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 is by far my favorite Tinkerbell movie. Like the other reviews have stated, Fawn is the main character, but this makes no difference. The storyline is strong, the characters are fun, and the movie all over heartwarming. Make sure you have a box of tissue, this is a tearjerker. Of course like all Disney movies, we have a happy ending, but I enjoyed this as a strong finish to a delightful series. As far as storyline strengths, I would compare this to the great fairy rescue. Both story lines have a strong appeal that can be entertaining for even adults. Although these are geared for children, anyone can enjoy them. If you are a Tinkerbell fan and love the series, this does not disappoint. I would love a neverbeast of my own. I actually liked the change that it wasn't completely focused on Tinkerbell. It's fun to see the dynamic of the other characters as well. Until now, we really have not had a strong idea of who Fawn was. Good job Disney!

While I initially considered the Tinker Bell films to be for girls, it is interesting to note that the male directors do a better job with these films than the female directors. In this installment it is Fawn's turn to steal the show. For the first time since the first film, Clank Bobble, and Fairy Mary does not feature in this film.

The film is not so much about Tinker Bell anymore, as she (again) takes a back seat in this adventure. This is a truly great installment with action, adventure, and suspense. This is the darkest entry in the series yet, and refreshing, actually, although it might give young kids nightmares. I also found this film's humor funny rather than silly, and none of the animation or events cartoonish. I also really enjoyed the new character, Nyx, who is probably the strongest character of any Tinker Bell movie yet.

The film was cute and sweet, as well, and has a beautiful ending. I loved it!

I have no reservations in describing Tinkerbell and the Legend of the Neverbeast as "another perfect gem added to what is an already flawless series". In this, the sixth of the series so far (and hopefully not the last), Tinkerbell takes a back seat, while animal fairy Fawn finds herself thrust into the spotlight due to her double penchants of firstly following her heart rather than her head, and secondly of steadfastly believing that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Shifting the focus away from Tink is fine by me because Pixie Hollow is simply bristling with interesting characters who I feel I want to know more about. In this story Fawn proves herself to be a character with many endearing qualities - inquisitiveness, intrepidity, persistence in the face of obstacles, a sense of humour and ... lovely long hair. (I came out of the cinema feeling more than a little 'smitten' by Fawn in a similar way to how I'd been smitten by Tink a few years earlier. Just saying.) She also has awesome high-flying skills it seems. As with the other Tinkerbell films there are three or four better than average songs (also the incidental music throughout is worth noticing), sumptuous artwork, an absorbing story and the usual comical shenanigans amongst the fairies. Give the kid in yourself a treat and go see this (maybe even take the kids with you? Boys will probably like this as much as girls will.) I'm hoping to see Neverbeast at least once more before it finishes its run at the cinema - after which I'll be looking forward to buying the bu-ray as soon as it's released (probably early summer next year?). Has to be a 10/10. Love it.
