TinkerBell Disney`s hiccup!

I don’t think I have mentioned it before but I am a huge fan of animations. From the first Disney movies to the latest animations I like to see every kind that is out there. My favorites are Kung-Fu Panda, Wall-E, Finding Nemo, among others from Disney/Pixar, Dreamworks and others. Disney movies have always been a part of my life, and I love animations, so I decided to watch TinkerBell the Movie. I figure that it was a Disney animation, and a Spin-off of one of my favorite Disney movies, it would be worth watching.



Disappointment. That is one word to describe what I felt after watching the movie. The animation was not at all the best that Disney can do. The movie was produced in a “money catch” spirit. It was completely obvious that they didn’t take the time and effort to do something on the Disney level. The director has done some of the Disney sequels such as Pocahontas II, Lion King 11/2 and others. The direction wasn’t the best and worst then that the writing. The script was a waste of a story. It showed us the origins of TinkerBell but that was the only interesting part, to see inside the fairy world. The script was weak and dumb, even if for a seven year old the script does not offer enough. There is no hero and there is no villain, there is also no romantic atmosphere at all, which seven years old girls (I believe the main audience for this movie) . No self-respectful children focused Disney movie has no villains and no heroes. The solution to the main problem is given in a silver tray to the audience.

Another sad part of the movie was that the cast was extremely talented. The voice of TinkerBell was dubbed by Mae Whitman, an extremely experienced and talented voice over artist. The Broadway dive Kristin Chenoweth, Disney sensation Raven-Symone, the teenage heartthrob and singer Jesse McCartney, amazing talented actresses such as Lucy Liu, Angelica Huston, Kathy Najimy, America Ferrera and more. I wish Disney had taken more time to make this movie and had taken it more seriously. I would not recommend it for someone over 3 years old.



This movie trailer does not make justice to the movie at all. When watching this you would think the movie would have more story and interesting background. A completely misleading movie trailer. Disney did have hiccup while doing this. Something that should be forgotten and put in their archives for future references of what not to do.
