The Review

      Tinkerbell has been one of the faces of the Disney franchise since she was first introduced in 1953’s Disney classic Peter Pan.  Although a minor character in the film, the fairy gained a lot of attention among fans of Peter Pan and as recently as 2008, Disney decided to create their “Disney Fairies” brand and gave Tinkerbell her first solo film. The direct to DVD and Blu-ray film became such a hit, that Disney has given the green light to produce four more sequels. Tinkerbell and the Great Fairy Rescue is the third film in the series, and is the film in which Tinkerbell has her first friendly human encounter.

   In this adventure, Tinkerbell encounters her first human. It’s not Peter Pan, Wendy or any of the other characters from Nowhereland.  Those are characters she will meet later in life, but before them, there was a young girl named Lizzy. Lizzy captures Tinkerbell, when Tink and her friends visit the flowering meadows. After being captured Tinkerbell is not sure of her fate, and her friends have already mounted an effort to rescue her. However, Tinkerbell and Lizzy develop a great friendship and with danger at every turn Tinkerbell will put her own life at risk to do what’s right.

   The Blu-ray DVD combo pack is packed with many features both discs include, deleted scenes, an all new music video for the song “How to Believe” performed by Bridgit Mendler and two interactive features “Design A Fairy House” and “Fairy Field Guide Builder”.

                The Tinkerbell franchise is going to be around for a while, and each film is one step closer to her joining Peter Pan and The Lost Boys.  He first film we saw her birth, the second film was about her growing up, and this film is about friendship.  Unlike the first two films I really felt the story worked in the development of the Tinkerbell character and her relationship with humans. I felt the film also had some very good lessons to be learned from it. I think the film is best suited for children over the age of four.  While there is mild animated violence in the film, for the majority of the movie there really is no concern to not let children of all ages watch the film. However, I noticed while observing my own daughter and her cousins that the older kids tended to be more interested than the younger kids in the movie.  It’s a cute film that I’m sure most little girls (and maybe some boys) will watch over and over again.
