Did you people see the same film I saw?
best movie i've ever seen.
The acting in this movie is really good.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
I loved this movie. I don't have kids, but I love so many movies for kids because many of them are safe for viewing and they hold a magic absent from adult movies. I didn't find this one to have those ever increasing double entendre jokes that are meant to entertain adults with their children. I also like that there wasn't a villain, unless you would consider the quickly approaching freeze line a villain.I didn't find the dialogue cheesy like others have mentioned. I found the animation to be spectacular, the story simple and pleasing (who needs complicated stories anyway? We have enough of those in our own world.), and the characters vibrant. I did have two points of contention. First, the first Tinker Bell movie depicts winter fairies when Tinker Bell is born and then chooses her talent. One of them puts a snowflake in the talent circle. They seem to be fine and aren't in danger of their wings wilting. The minister of winter flies with other warm fairies outside of the winter woods and seems fine, too. As a reviewer elsewhere stated, how do they fly to the mainland to bring winter if they can't get warm? Second, there is a character who is a comic relief that seems like he was fashioned after pothead/stoner characters, which I don't like. At one point he is meditating yogi style to bring back the pixie dust. I would rather see a praying character, as they are rare, but as Disney doesn't eliminate them entirely from other movies, I'll hold my peace on this one.Overall, though, I really liked this movie. I can overlook my points of contention because there is enough to redeem the film.
Innocent and endearing Tinker Bell (Mae Whitman) returns with another tale from the magical realms of faeries. Summer fairies and winter fairies don't mix, as nature has planned each of their roles with forethought. The wings of one will freeze in the cold, while the others whittle away in the heat. Thus both lands are separated with fairies in both quarters bringing harmony across the divide. Nonetheless Tinker Bell was never one to avoid adventure and enchanted by the snowy bliss of winter decides to cross to the forbidden other side, where see encounters her white-haired twin Perriwinkle (Lucy Hale). These events counter the rules of both faerie clans, placing them in conflict with Lord Milori (Timothy Dalton) of the Winter Faeries and Queen Clarion (Anjelica Huston) of the Summer Faeries.Full of sparkle and some charming characters, Tinker Bell's adventures in Never Never Land are just what they must be: an engrossing experience of wonder for youthful eyes, devoid of unnecessary brutality or subtextual messages for adults (well... not entirely... but almost). Thus a movie focused directly towards its target audience, but with enough sweet allure to at least keep parents in focus. Nonetheless Disney fails to avoid worrying trends to 'barbiefy' the faeries into slender voluptuous dolls. Never a Disney classic, but solidly entertaining with some dazzling Indian made animation (apparently a stark improvement on previous Tinker Bell movies) and enchanting enough to satisfy youth, while not dissuading adults.
Secret Of The Wings continues the story of the Tinkerbell series, with voice overs provided by Lucy Lui and Timothy Dalton. The story concentrates strongly on Tinkerbell's curiosity of what is on the other side of Never Never Land, which is where the warm fairies are forbidden to go. Sure makes sense, because it's pretty frosty on the other side, it's a wonder why Tinkerbell even wants to go there. She steps on the other side just for a few seconds, and her wings begin to sparkle. She wants to know why, and her quest takes her on a journey to the other side, where she is forbidden to go. (Can't tell this fairy no, but you can sure try!). Answers are quickly answered, and she discovers much more then she imagined possible. The computer animation dazzles you with some great effects and powerful imagery, where the other three Tinkerbell movies failed. Although the story line suffers a bit, it's quite a trade off to see something of Tinkerbell that you've never seen before. Great family movie and fun for all.
We took our 3.5 year old daughter and a friend of hers to see the movie and they enjoyed it very much. It's good to see a movie with no villain and evil antagonists, and much like the previous Tinkerbell movies we saw before (on TV) this movie is a great joy for little kids. I see its currently low ratings in IMDb and it bugs me that people are rating children movies as if they were meant for adults... Yeah, for me and my wife the movie was pretty simplistic (don't go to see it without the kids :)) but for children it was excellent. Good graphics and great visuals, Good story, No scary things for young children, Not too long for children to sit through, Includes famous beloved character and characters from previous movies. a clear 10/10
