After re watching this film I can safely say I thought it was terrible. Sure, despite the Tinkerbell movies (in my opinion) being TERRIBLE quality, this particular movie takes the cake for being the worst in my opinion.When focusing on the movies CGI the saturation is lovely however that doesn't make up for the dated look of the animation. In my opinion there are better movies made in 2010 with a lot clearer animation. Overall the only good things I can say about this movie is the color saturation, Background design and voice talent. Besides that, the film is ABYSMAL. I didn't care at all for the characters, the plot lacked any fret or tension and feels like barely anything happens. But the cream on top of the pile, is the black and white morals, the skeptic vs believer, and a very inane, and EXTREMELY sappy script.I also can't believe that a girl at 9 years of age, still believes in fairies. Girls at that age should be fully aware of the real world, and her reality SHOULD NOT be sugarcoated, and safety- blanketed, at that point.One thing that legitimately made me annoyed while watching this film, was the 'cat in the cradle' plot line. I don't like how the father was being portrayed as terrible for focusing on his job, and not his family; Sure parents need to focus on their families, but they won't have the money, or budget to be properly fed, or sheltered. Speaking of which, where's the mother? She's just non- existent to what the plot demands, which is sloppy writing!Overall, this movie was the worst Tinkerbell movie ever; It didn't have depth, complexity, intrigue, or thought-provoking messages. It instead shows a simplified, unrealistic, black and white view on the world, which is a RANCID message for little girls.Granted, I know that animated movies take a few years to make, but a finished product is a finished product.

This was my all-time favorite fairy movie. I sat down with my 2yr. old grand-daughter to watch this and neither of us moved except for her to giggle at parts and hug her silky pillow. To put a heart-warming real little girl in with fairies is a dream many of us have had and I found myself cheering. The visuals were excellent and all the pixie dust flying around made it a magical experience for both of us. I immediately let my friends with grandkids know how wonderful this movie was and strongly suggested they watch it with the kiddies. Although it is centered more for girls, I think boys will like it, too. The boy fairies are a big part of the rescue. I'm anxious to watch it again.

Saw the most disturbing anti-science propaganda in children's movie yesterday: "Tinkerbell and the great fairy rescue". Some highlights (lowlights?): - Tinkerbell laughing as she responds to a girl who explains the scientific reason behind seasons: "That's what we fairies want people to believe"A pro-science obsessive dad playing the role of a villain: ... He is so involved in his work that he is neglectful of his daughter. ... He gives his daughter a journal to document the natural world, daughter fills it with fairies, and he is oh-so-cruel to her when she fills it with pictures of fairies.Tinkerbell claims that leaves changing color, fireflies, and rainbows are all the work of fairies. Explanations for natural phenomena that fly in the face of everything science teaches kids - about chlorophyll, bio luminescence, and light refraction.Fairies ultimately showing how wrong the scientist dad was.I suspect the creationist propaganda machine was at work here. By the end I felt punched in my face and felt like the villain in the movie.Lizzie: I had no idea fairies were responsible for changing the seasons. I thought it had something to do with the earth's axis as it rotated around the sun. Tinker Bell: That's what we wanted you to think.

The third TB is like the first two - funny, clever, cute, visually stunning. My little one (4) absolutely loved it, so did I. It kept her attention from beginning till the end, what I don't see every day. It's useless to speak about visuals - the colors are wonderful, as we are used to, the objects are elastic and "real" in the way an animated fairy tale can be. The story is also nice. This time there's much more space for Vidia, which tries to show her better side. Tinker Bell's friends known from the first two movies are also present, we are missing the "management" and the background crew, so the storyline is much more intimate. The coping-stone of the action is a little over the top (=7/10), but what the hell, it's a fairytale...
