A vibrant look at the magical world of fairies and the wonder of the changing seasons, Tinker Bell is the captivating story of one of Disney's most beloved fairies. Pixie Hollow is a land where fairies constantly create and improve upon the beauty of the four seasons and prepare to bring the changing seasons to the mainland. When Tinker Bell is born, she discovers she is destined to be a Tinker fairy; one who invents gadgets to help fairies do their jobs more efficiently, but she is disappointed with her supporting role and yearns for a more impressive job. While her fellow fairies assure her that she plays a vital role in the arrival of spring, Tinker Bell shuns her calling and attempts to become something she's not. In the end, Tinker Bell's efforts cause a disaster that threatens to delay or even cancel the coming of spring and only inspiration and a firm belief in her own strengths can lead Tinker Bell to fulfill her destiny and save spring. This CGI product ion features truly breathtaking vividness and clarity, does a great job of portraying the world of nature from a fairy's perspective, and creates a nice sense of consistency between its final frames and the opening of the original Peter Pan film. Notable voice talent includes Mae Whitman, Kristin Chenoweth, Jane Horrocks, Anjelica Huston, Jesse McCartney, and Raven-Symone. Other DVD bonus features include the interactive "Tinker Trainer" game, tour of the realms of Pixie Hollow, a look at how fairies put the wonder in the world around us, Selena Gomez's music video "Fly To Your Heart," and deleted scenes. (Ages 3 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

 Ding Ding Ding...we have a winner! December 4, 2008
My grandkids are a super gauge of what is good or not, they've watched this one literally 14 times or more and can't get enough of it, this one I've watched with them a few times and it's great!
 traditionalist December 3, 2008
All and well good this is a good move but the Tinkerbell here is not the Tinkerbell this dad with 2 daughters and a son grew up to love. I don't know why when a character is altered i.e. flat drawn to computer drawn or graphic to live person, The character of the character is changed. The addition of a voice also changed her. Gone is the impish fairy I grew up with and in her place is just another, albeit who can fly and is only inches tall, person.
She is now encumbered with situations that we earth-bound giants have. She now has common obligations and a work-a-day job. In "Peter Pan" she was a free spirit simply ruled by her emotions and her friendship/love of Peter Pan.
Cute, Fun and Entertaining December 3, 2008
I got this movie for my almost 3 year old daughter, who loves Tinker Bell(at the opening of Disney movies, she says it is Tinker Bell's castle). When I saw the movie was coming out, I knew we had to get it for her and went to Amazon first. When we watched the movie, I was surprised to see her sit and watch the movie most of the way thru, she usually will never sit still for more than 15-20 minutes. She was entertained and as we watch it more, she will learn that not everyone is good at all things and that is ok.
BEAUTIFUL MOVIE December 3, 2008

I bought this for my daughter's 3rd birthday, and it's her first full length Disney movie. Having a child makes you really rediscover and appreciate the wonder and magic of Disney and this movie is no exception. We watch it several times a week and I have yet to tire of it. It is a wonderful message for little girls, as opposed to the shameless incessant marketing of the Disney Princesses (when did they take ownership of all fairytales?). Tinkerbell is a working woman with big aspirations that are only realized when she is true to herself. The movie has very few scary scenes - nothing near as frightening as Ursula from Little Mermaid, or Cruella De Ville, or the death of Mufasa in the Lion King, so okay for even the youngest preschoolers. Good story, beautiful looking movie, very entertaining.

irst off, this movie had the potential to be interesting and magical and exciting. the elements for what could have made this movie great were there somewhere, they just weren't touched upon. this turned out to be a movie about 'everyone's and individual, just like you' and near the end when i discovered that this was the only moral i felt really disappointed. it's just one of those movies that will leave no mark on you, washboard quality. if you've ever seen the sequel to snow white, the cartoon version, i forget what it's called because yes it was just that bad, it is reminiscent of that.
now this would all have been fine and dandy if it was just another movie to sucker people out of 30 bucks or however much it costs... but it is a story about tinkerbell... from peter pan. it almost seriously offended me that anyone would stray so far from a wonderful, classic story like that and steal one of it's signature characters and turn it into this. such a bastardization of arguably one of the most memorable characters in children's classical literature... some one should be slapped, really hard. it offended me enough to go out and write this review, which probably isn't even that articulate because my mind is still boggled by the fact that these greedy, money sucking... people at disney wouldn't just create some other nameless character, not drag a classic one through the dirt. .. of course i doubt anyone would buy that nameless character because of late their story writing ability is far from decent... as this little jem proves.
there are other fairy stories out there, don't support this one.
