Tinker Bell
Even if Tinker Bell had an of import part in helping Peter Pan present the Darling siblings to the fantastical world of Neverland , there ’s so little about her story and personality that ’s known . Fortunately , Disney’smost notable fairy has a serial publication of 3D - animated motion picture that explicate everything her fans always wanted to know about her . Some of them are genuinely heartwarming little films which are deserving see for those who ’ve never quite let go of their intimate child . Others , however , are made - for - tv abominations which serve to dilute the account and slander the classic Disney animation . As it tends to be with most Disney sequels and twirl - offs , the Tinker Bell movies are a full mixed dish .
From the meaning of her name to uncover how her earlier adventures connect up to the events of the originalPeter Pan , these movies show a whole young side of Tinker Bell that most viewers would not be expecting . So , without further ado , here ’s a spry round - up of every Tinker Bell movie released on video , rank from uncollectible to best .
Tinker Bell & The Legend Of The Neverbeast (2014)
The most recentTinker Bellmovie is the strangest one because of how little it has to do with Tinker Bell . Here , she was relegated to a exalt cameo while the creature faggot Fawn and her new friend Gruff withdraw center point .
Even ignoring this change , Neverbeastdrastically subverts the set up formula to the point where it feels like another movie tout ensemble . The focal point on action and the employment of unexpectedly bare stem clashes with the series ’ light - hearted nature , making it a decent if misplaced entering into theTinker Bellcanon .
The Pirate Fairy (2014)
Tinker Bell ’s magical voyage across the high seas deal the problems ofNeverbeast , albeit to a less point , which earn sense sinceThe Pirate Fairywas its precursor . Once again , Tinker Bell feel like a side - fictional character in her own motion picture , and there ’s an emphasis on everything but the story .
It ’s also here where Tinker Bell ’s shift from course queer mischief-maker to rule - abiding peacekeeper abruptly begins — a bit of character ontogenesis that ’s interesting in construct , but unearned in death penalty . This is a fun animated escapade that forgot the period of the serial it ’s a part of .
Tinker Bell (2008)
Like many origin movies , the firstTinker Belldoes a mess of things justly but meet from following a pre - established pattern too closely . Overused tropes like a needlessly incompatible miserly girl do little to make this movie suffer out .
While this moving-picture show does a decent job of introduce the fairies ’ world , characters , and Tinker Bell herself , it carry an eyebrow - produce moral lesson about accepting your predetermined place and class in smart set while also discourage spectator from examine new thing in lifetime . Though confutative , it ’s still a harmless detail in an otherwise passably forgettable divagation .
The visuals are also suitable of note here . Released at a time when low - budget CG - animation seemed to be in its prime , 2008’sTinker Belllooks like it could in reality be the trailer for a PlayStation 2 game , and that is by no means a compliment .
Pixie Hollow Bake Off (2013)
This six - minute of arc short may not have much in the style of substance , but it ’s a serious distillate of everything that makes theTinker Bellmovies play . Here , Tinker Bell and her friend enter in the fairy lands ’ televised bake competition after she accidentally — yet unsurprisingly — gets on a far-famed bread maker ’s bad side . The bad that this short does is end too quickly . Given its simple set - up and the potential difference for magical jape about bake and competitive reality shows , Pixie Hollow Bake Offshould have been made into the hour - long challenger that Tinker Bell and society found themselves in .
Pixie Hollow Games (2011)
LikeNeverbeastandPirate Fairy , this story stir its focal point from Tinker Bell to another character — in this case , Rosetta — but it thankfully does n’t outstay its welcome . time in at a digestible 30 minute of arc , the fashionable garden poof ’s time in the spotlight maximizes its myopic run time to give birth both fun and means . The addition of simple but meaningful deterrent example about pace out of one ’s solace geographical zone and the grandness of sportsmanship gives this quick half - hour watch some much - apprise value and profoundness .
Tinker Bell & The Lost Treasure (2009)
Tinker Bell ’s first sequel is both an dangerous undertaking movie and an improvement of the previous one ’s shortcomings . Tinker Bell ’s seeking to regain a legendary treasure and some manners give her newfound depth , which is gestate over to the next two installment . Even if Tinker Bell ’s case development is too rushed , her 2d movie is still a sport drive that offers some earnest lessons about apologizing , friendships , and learning from one ’s mistakes . This is also the last metre her practiced friend Terence is treated as a character and not an extra , and this moment should be cherished .
Secret Of The Wings (2012)
The fourthTinker Bellmovie is notable for having the most unused potential drop in the series . Here , unexampled persona , histories , and a whole human beings are introduced , but this subsequence prioritizes gorgeously animated chases and montages over anything else . The movie makes up for this by being the series ’ most entertaining watch that comes with its own surprising moments of astuteness . While the story is too contrive and hurried to be unfeignedly compelling , Secret of the Wingsis still a fun return to the fairy cosmos and a originative expansion of its lore .
Tinker Bell & The Great Fairy Rescue (2010)
Tinker Bell ’s first encounter with humans from the Mainland — i.e. Britain — isn’t only the most part - focused entry , but the most emotionally engaging one as well . Here , the fundamental sprite — especially Vidia — and people get heaps of personation , while the movie itself is a fun saving mission .
The interactions between Tinker Bell and Lizzy are charming , while the touching example about household and being emotionally unresolved allow some much - treasure subtext in this sequel . Though it ’s the most on purpose pacedTinker Bellmovie , The Great Fairy Rescueboasts the most heartfelt story of the entire serial .
