Love it!
Watched TinkerBell this weekend and absolutely loved it! I am a casual movie fan, so I don't analyze the graphics, the music, etc. I just know my 6yo daughter and I both enjoyed it. It was sweet, funny, and had a great message. What more can we ask for in movies for our kids?
Utterly gorgeous to look at and sure to delight all young children
I just finished watching a preview copy of TINKER BELL and I was quite impressed. Time was that direct-to-DVD meant, well, bad. Low production values, second tier talent, and a disposable story. Lately, however, a number of studios have begun struggling with ways to develop a business model that allowed them to make profits on projects that bypassed theater releases. For instance, MGM has had some success with the Stargate movies, which have a solid but niche market, enough fans to buy DVDs with enthusiasm, but not enough general public support to justify a general release into theaters. Universal has reputedly been thinking of the possibility of doing the same with a SERENITY sequel, a film that merely broke even (after international sales) in the theaters, but has been a huge success on disc. My point is that it is no longer possible to dismiss anything that makes its debut on disc.
TINKER BELL is a great example of the greatly increased quality of direct-to-DVD productions. Visually, this is just a stunning movie. Story apart, there is never a moment when the film isn't utterly riveting. As an adult I found it great to look at from beginning to end. I think small children, especially young girls, will find it entrancing. The story isn't very complex or nuanced, but there are some nice messages of empowerment. If classic Disney frequently was mired in notions that the primary hope of women was for someday their prince to come, this one's theme is of a young fairy striving to be all that she can be. The emphasis is on what she can make of herself, not only the need for a romantic Other to make her life complete.
I mentioned the relative lack of talent in traditional direct-to-DVD releases. That is not the case here. Tinker Bell is voiced by Mae Whitman, who many will know as the delightfully forgetable Ann on ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT (viewers of the show will know what I meant by that). Some of the main fairies are voiced by such excellent performers as Kristin Chenoweth, America Ferrera, Angelica Huston, Lucy Liu, and Jane Horrocks.
Honestly, the movie is not going to blow most adults away. This is very definitely a kids film. As someone who raised a daughter as a single dad, however, I am confident that small children, especially young girls, are going to love this movie. And it is something that adults will be able to enjoy watching a first time and not find too unpleasant on the unaccountable repeated viewings that very young children love to engage in (there are still many animated movies that my daughter watched a few dozen times that I have nearly every scene memorized).
If you have a small child, this is a very good movie to consider picking up, especially if the child in question is a girl. It features very high production standards, is unbelievably beautiful to look at, and has a much better than average moral. And it is clearly intended to be the first of at least two films, since an insert inside the case advertises a new Tinker Bell film to be released in the fall of 2009.
A great new story from Disney
I was gladly surprised with this new flick from the Disney Studios. The animation was amazing: not a surprise, considering Pixar's boss John Lasseter was the Exec. Producer. But the visuals were not the only element that made Tinker Bell a great movie overall:
* The music very appropriately complements the whole fairy theme, courtesy of Sarah McLachlan, one of the world's greatest Celtic singers.
* The storyline takes this character born in the Peter Pan story and gives it a very detailed life, creating a whole mythology around her.
The result is a fun story that occasionally brought to mind Bee Movie (specially in terms of some of the elements of the story) but delivered in great Disney fashion.
I highly recommend the movie to anyone seeking a good family DVD to get for the holidays.
