Movie review: Tinker Bell and the Private Fairy 3D (U)

19 Feb 2014 10:10

When a misunderstood dust-keeper fairy named Zarina steals Pixie Hollow's all-important Blue Pixie Dust, and flies away to join forces with the pirates of Skull Rock, Tinker Bell and her fairy friends must embark on the adventure of a lifetime to return it to its rightful place

As both a spin-off of and prequel to Peter Pan and its sequel, Return to Never Land, this is Disney Toon Studios’ fifth Tinker Bell movie drawing on the characters created by JM Barrie.


Sweet and simplistic, it won’t offer you the bells and whistles of Frozen, nor will the very young-sters it’s aimed at have any concept of the previous four-seasons thread.


The one-dimensional story here introduces Captain Hook and explains why a ticking clock inside the belly of a crocodile sets his teeth on edge.


Christina Hendricks voices the leading fairy character, Zarina, who wonders if Blue Pixie Dust comes in other colours.


Shamed by her own experiments, she meets James (Tom Hiddleston) from Skull Island and realises that Blue Pixie Dust could even help a pirate ship to fly.


Other characters include Queen Clarion (Anjelica Huston) and Tinker Bell (Mae Whitman) – who needs Blue Pixie Dust to restore power to Pixie Hollow.
