Synopsis courtesy of Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment: What would you do if you met a fairy? Witness the historic moment when Tinker Bell first meets a human being, and it’s not who you think. Years before meeting Wendy and the Lost Boys, Tinker Bell met Lizzy, a little girl with a steadfast belief in the power of pixie dust and the magic land of fairies. During the fairies’ summer visit to the flowering meadows of England, two very different worlds unite for the first time and Tink develops a special bond with a curious child in need of a friend. As her fellow fairies launch a daring rescue, Tinker Bell takes a huge risk, putting her own safety and the future of all fairykind in jeopardy. Experience Disney’s astonishing all-new movie about the true power of faith and friendship. Bursting with excitement and imagination, TINKER BELL AND THE GREAT FAIRY RESCUE is magical entertainment for the whole family. You might  even learn to fly.

Boo had an early start today (Father’s Day Breakfast) so I let her watch the DVD straight after school, and for 73 minutes I never heard a peep from her as she was glued to the screen, munching popcorn! If you remember we also saw this at the cinema about a month ago (here).

This is the 3rd movie of the Tinker Bell/Disney Fairies productions, and I have to say this is my favourite. Boo is sitting on the fence and not committing to a favourite because she loves them all and they’re all different. You could watch this movie without having watched the other 2, though it may take a few minutes to decipher the fairies and their talents.

The story in brief:

A lonely,  little girl, Lizzy is being raised by her busy father who does not indulge his daughter’s belief in fairies. Tink, after getting caught, befriends Lizzy and teaches her all about fairies. In the meantime, Tink’s friends have launched a rescue mission with some great adventures and fabulous displays of teamwork. Of course, it all ends happily and leaves us all believing in fairies and the magic of pixie dust!

I asked Boo what her favourite part was, again she’s fence sitting because she loves the whole movie!

What do I love about this movie?

This is a beautiful story, which on a couple of occasions brought me to the brink of tears. I love the independence and courage of Tinker Bell, and for us this is a perfect shift away from many of the movies Boo watches – Princesses/Damsels in Distress meet Prince, get married and live happily ever after!

I would highly recommend this movie for any little girl (and their mummies)!
