Clochette et la Fée Pirate

Once again the people at DisneyToon create a girlie fairy movie, and again I find myself enjoying it. How is this possible? I'm a serious, adult animation buff! I'm supposed to snort and say: Bah, this straight to DVD drivel is beyond me! Oh well, credit where credit is due, the people at DisneyToon sure know how to craft an entertaining bit of fluff. The animation looks good, the plot twists keep the story chugging along nicely, and how can you not like Tinkerbell and her adorable friends? Plus, there are some cool nods to Disney's original Peter Pan movie.

Bring on the sixth Tinkerbell movie I guess...

I'm sure anyone who is a dyed-in-the-wool follower of the Tinkerbell series of movies (like me) will be more than delighted with the latest instalment - Tinkerbell and the Pirate Fairy. A year ago, Tinkerbell and the Secret of the Wings totally blew me away. (So much so that I was extolling that film's praises for several months afterwards.) Well, I'm delighted to say that the same thing (extolling of praises) is pretty much certain to happen with me about this film too! Tinkerbell and the Pirate Fairy simply brims with delightful characters old and new. The plot is superb. Original, intelligent, witty and well constructed (ie there are no discrepancies in the narrative and all loose ends are satisfyingly tied up by the end of the movie). Zarina, the new fairy, is a wonderful addition to the cast. In many ways Zarina's particular 'talent' drives her to behave in ways we have become used to associating with Tinkerbell herself - ie she is inquisitive, takes risks and feels herself impelled to go beyond Pixie Hollow's previously established (and generally accepted) boundaries. I liked that there was plenty of good natured interaction this time among Tinkerbell's regular cohort of friends (Vidia, Iridessa, Silvermist and Rosetta) and many times something one or another of them said would cause me to chuckle with mirth. The action of the skirmishes between the fairies and the pirates is thrillingly animated. Finally, I thought the artwork throughout was top notch and the music, whether sung or instrumental, was both subtle and fitted well with the visuals. There is vastly more that I found enjoyable in this film (told you I'd be extolling the film's praises didn't I!) but I think you've probably heard enough from me by now. Whatever your age or gender (I'm a sixty something male), give yourself a treat ... go see Tinkerbell and the Pirate Fairy. My bet is you won't be disappointed. (Go with a little 'faith, trust and pixie dust' and you'll enjoy it even more!) 10/10.

Not even sure why I ended up watching this movie but as I like animated movies I gave it a try. Yep, it's meant to be for kids but ... but I just loved it. It's one of those feel good movies. It's funny, witty and just cute ;) Characters are excellent (even those mean pirates), animation and music is top notch as well with kind of old-school feeling. And voice casting is just lovely :) I will probably even check out some other stories from the "fairy" universe. As I am from Czech Republic I do not know much about Peter Pan and Tinker Bell as those characters aren't so famous in my country. Anyway I am giving 10/10 and I recommend this movie to anyone who is 2+ or just in mood for little bit of childish fun ;)

Basically, it's the same story as the first movie, but that's not entirely a bad thing for this fifth enstallmen in the fairy franchise. We do get to see how Capt. Hook and his crew came around.

But the story is this misunderstood fairy gets in trouble and is banished from the Hollow. She joins up with the pirate crew to get it her way, but ends up getting stabbed in the back. But luckily she is rescued by Tinker Bell and her friends who are not amused by her ways as a pirate.

Entertaining movie, maybe not that much to grab adult viwers, unless you're a Disney fan like I am. But credit to the creativity by incorporating familiar faces into the movie to make it more connected to Peter Pan.

The only thing wrong with this film is the title. It is a story about 'pirates', but it's actually a 'Tinker Bell' movie and she should have been included in this title...Such as 'Tinker Bell's, The Pirate Fairy'. We watched this last night (07/21/2017), me, my mom, and my aunt and we are all beyond 50 years old. Then again, we love Disney! And we all thought this film should get more exposure. It is a gem indeed! If we all had pixie dust and believed in it, we wouldn't be so cruel to each other in this world. Why is the world so mean? Maybe we all need to spend more time watching Disney movies instead of focusing on each other's problems! Way to go Disney!! Keep the movies coming please!
