Tinker Bell and The Great Fairy Rescue

Following from the DVD releases "Tinker Bell" and "Tinker Bell and The Lost Treasure" comes a new chapter in the Disney Fairies franchise "Tinker Bell and The Great Fairy Rescue".

The film follows Tinker Bell and her fairy friends as they settle for a summer on the mainland. Tinker Bell though, always a little curious, finds herself discovered by a little girl, Lizzy, who loves fairies. And although the two aren't sure of each other at first they soon gain a wonderful friendship. When Lizzy's Father discovers that his daughter is in possession of a real life fairy he decides to capture Tinker Bell to show her to the museum, but instead he captures Vidia, Tinker Bell's former rival. It's up to Tinker Bell and the rest of her fairy friends to save Vidia and help Lizzy's Father believe in magic.

The film is a fantastic inclusion to the franchise and it is probably my favourite film so far in the film series. No expense has been spared with the film. From the story, the effects and the music everything is up to par. The animation is outstanding and at times will leave you breathless. One sequence in particular has Silvermist, a water fairy, create a safe water landing for the fairies and the way it has been animated is spectacular.

"Tinker Bell and The Great Fairy Rescue" also boasts a range of stars including music star Jesse McCartney, movie star Lucy Liu and Disney Channel favourite Raven-Symone.

The bonus features included on the DVD include Deleted Scenes, a featurette "How To Build A Fairy House" and a music video "How To Believe" performed by Good Luck Charlie star Bridgit Mendler. Another bonus feature is a special sneak peek at Disney's latest theatrical release "Tangled". It's an excellent inclusion as it shows interviews with the cast, including Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi and also includes scenes that are not seen in the trailer. The music video has been a regualar inclusion on the Tinker Bell DVD releases and the Bridgit Mendler track is a fun song to sing along to. The featurette "How To Build A Fairy House" doesn't really focus on the film. Instead it shows a competion that was run in which kids could design a fairy house and the winner's design would be made. It's not a really entertaining featurette and it seems that it was only included to promote the Disney Fairies website. A "behind-the-scenes" look at the film would've been more welcome.

The film will be enjoyed by kids and adults alike. It has great animation, great music and a heartwarming story about, trust, friendship and magic. Available September 15th from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment.
