Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

This was my all-time favorite fairy movie. I sat down with my 2yr. old grand-daughter to watch this and neither of us moved except for her to giggle at parts and hug her silky pillow. To put a heart-warming real little girl in with fairies is a dream many of us have had and I found myself cheering. The visuals were excellent and all the pixie dust flying around made it a magical experience for both of us. I immediately let my friends with grandkids know how wonderful this movie was and strongly suggested they watch it with the kiddies. Although it is centered more for girls, I think boys will like it, too. The boy fairies are a big part of the rescue. I'm anxious to watch it again.

Saw the most disturbing anti-science propaganda in children's movie yesterday: "Tinkerbell and the great fairy rescue". Some highlights (lowlights?): - Tinkerbell laughing as she responds to a girl who explains the scientific reason behind seasons: "That's what we fairies want people to believe"A pro-science obsessive dad playing the role of a villain: ... He is so involved in his work that he is neglectful of his daughter. ... He gives his daughter a journal to document the natural world, daughter fills it with fairies, and he is oh-so-cruel to her when she fills it with pictures of fairies.Tinkerbell claims that leaves changing color, fireflies, and rainbows are all the work of fairies. Explanations for natural phenomena that fly in the face of everything science teaches kids - about chlorophyll, bio luminescence, and light refraction.Fairies ultimately showing how wrong the scientist dad was.I suspect the creationist propaganda machine was at work here. By the end I felt punched in my face and felt like the villain in the movie.Lizzie: I had no idea fairies were responsible for changing the seasons. I thought it had something to do with the earth's axis as it rotated around the sun. Tinker Bell: That's what we wanted you to think.

A superbly made film in every way! I was stunned by the utter beauty and charm of this and the previous animated 'Tinkerbell' films a few years ago, with their introduction to the world of fairies.Colours are dazzling and sumptuous, imagery is almost 3D in appearance (yet sharper), the stories are well thought out, and in this third instalment - 'Tinkerbell and the Great Fairy Rescue', Disney does not disappoint!I can't enthuse enough about the 'Tinkerbell' films, as they do not have the frenetic, brash, sometimes over-the-top action sequences that many other animated films such as 'Tangled', and even the later 'Ice Age' films have. There are very exciting sequences however, but they are well balanced with other aspects of the film.They also don't have any smart-mouthed characters that are to be found in some animated films these days, and whom in my opinion are not good role-models for young children.I see a great many films of all genres, and I do not even have any children, but after I saw the first Tinkerbell film, I had found it so sweet and entertaining - and such a breath of fresh air in our often ugly world - that I bought the following films, and waited with anticipation to see them. Tinkerbell is so cute, (yet feisty) with a perfectly suited voice - that it makes you wish that fairies were real.Indeed, one becomes utterly submersed in Tinkerbell's fairyland adventures for the entire duration of the film - so well executed is it. I would go as far as to say that 'Tinkerbell and the Great Fairy Rescue' is the best animated film I have ever seen. Shrek, Finding Nemo, Madagascar,(to name but a few) pale by comparison. It is THAT good! If you have young children, and would like them to see completely innocent, thoroughly entertaining films with good values, you cannot do better than let them view the recent 'Tinkerbell' films. I'm very sure that you will enjoy them immensely too!

This British Disney Toon studios production is true pixie-dust for the hopeful family viewer. Astonishing 3D-like 2D imagery (why can't all films look this amazing?) is completely captivating and as an adult I felt myself being whisked into the genuine Disney magic of 60s films like MARY POPPINS and POLLYANNA......TINKERBELL FAIRY RESCUE has the absolutely most breathtaking visuals, computer driven but timeless and earthy in beauty and fantasy. This is a simple but clever and funny animated feature. And for little girls and their 56 year old daddies, there is a few tears and a lot of excitement to be shared. I really applaud the tone story and sheer gorgeousness of this utterly enchanting family film. TINKERBELL herself reminded me of 50s MGM Musical star and singing sensation Jane Powell at her most beautiful. What a success TINKERBELL FAIRY RESCUE is. If you were also gob-smacked at ARTHUR AND THE INVISIBLES' imagery that looked 3D but was actually 2D, then this too is for you and your family.
