Tinkerbell (2008)

First off, this movie had the potential to be interesting and magical and exciting. The elements for what could have made this movie great were there somewhere, they just weren't touched upon. This turned out to be a movie about 'everyone's an individual, just like you' and near the end when I discovered that this was the only moral I felt really disappointed. It's just one of those movies that will leave no mark on you, washboard quality. If you've ever seen the sequel to snow white, the cartoon version, I forget what it's called because yes it was just that bad, it is reminiscent of that.

Now this would all have been fine and dandy if it was just another movie to sucker people out of 30 bucks or however much it costs... but it is a story about Tinkerbell... from peter pan. It almost seriously offended me that anyone would stray so far from a wonderful, classic story like that and steal one of it's signature characters and turn it into this. Such a bastardization of arguably one of the most memorable characters in children's classical literature... some one should be slapped, really hard. It offended me enough to go out and write this review, which probably isn't even that articulate because my mind is still boggled by the fact that these greedy, money sucking... people at Disney wouldn't just create some other nameless character, not drag a classic one through the dirt. .. Of course I doubt anyone would buy that nameless character because of late their story writing ability is far from decent... as this little jem proves.

There are other fairy stories out there, don't support this one.
