Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue

You’re not supposed to know that fairies are the ones who change the seasons and the designs on butterflies’ wings, but sometimes someone lucky may get an opportunity to know. “Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue” is the 2010 sequel in the Tinker Bell franchise and in here, humans are included.

While away in England, Tinker Bell (Mae Whitman) and the overconfident Vidia (Pamela Adlon) get stuck in a serious problem when Vidia gets Tinker Bell accidentally suck in a fairy house made by a human named Lizzy Griffiths (Lauren Mote). Lizzy and Tinker Bell soon become friends, the first fairy for Lizzy and the first human for Tinker Bell. However, Lizzy’s father, Dr. Griffiths, voiced by Michael Sheen, likes to collect butterflies for scientific research, so there is serious trouble while Tinker Bell is in the house. His walls are filled with butterflies. This is just scary, especially for a captured butterfly that is stuck in a jar.

Meanwhile, Vidia does her best to get back to the fairies’ headquarters to form a team, all of Tinker Bell’s fairy friends: Rosetta (Kristen Chenoweth), Silvermist (Lucy Liu), Iridessa (Raven-Symone), Fawn (Angela Bartys), Bobble (Rob Paulsen) and Clank (Jeff Bennett). They set up a plan and really fight through a serious rainstorm and dangerous traps on a mission to rescue Tinker Bell. However, Tinker Bell’s rescue soon becomes a rescue that is way more dangerous than anyone had believed.

The third Tinker Bell film doesn’t disappoint. The quality of this movie is really great. David Kobylanski is right when he said in his review, “It’s admirable to see that Disney didn’t get cheap when developing a movie for the straight-to-home video market. The film was actually released theatrically in the United Kingdom. The animation is smart, the colors are vibrant, the voice cast is convincing.” The backgrounds are just a joy to see. Every character does something, even the beloved and possible villain family cat, Mr. Twitches. Kobylanski admitted, “I think Mr. Twitches was such an awesome character that he should’ve have been given even more time on the screen. The animation surpasses the imagination of what many can fathom when thinking about straight-to-home video releases.”

This nice story is perfectly made to attract children audiences and the adults who like watching children movies. Anyone can relate to Lizzy and her interest to fairies, and her wanting her father’s understanding and attention. You’ll learn about honesty and friendship, especially when Vidia finally admits the truth of what really happened. Kobylanski said, “This release doesn’t take the time with an exposition that introduces the entire world of fairies. It sticks to the new story this film is all about and gets right down to it. The movie is split between the human and fairy worlds, but it intertwines them seamlessly.” The movie really divides the time of Lizzy and Tinker Bell with the rescue mission of the other fairies as they fly to get their friend back.

For anyone who has been a fan of the franchise so far, they should continue watching these sequels, regardless of the fact that they’re straight-to-video. This is a straight-to-video franchise that is actually good and worth seeing for the whole family. You should definitely not skip out on watching this franchise. Go on your Disney+ account and see them. This one is another good addition in the franchise. You learn a lot from this one and kids will love it too.

Look out tomorrow when we get even more excitement in the Tinker Bell franchise in “Disney Month 2020.”
