Tinker Bell opens the doors to Pixie Hollow! [Posted on 2008-07-17] This DVD isn't out until October, but based on the trailer and the webisodes called 'Pixie Previews', there is plenty to base an opinion on to help people in their decision to purchase this DVD.
First, the Movie trailer and `Pixie Previews' are available to watch on youtube and Disney.com and they give a good introduction as to what to expect from this DVD. While not Pixar quality, the CGI featured shows a quality not unlike what we've seen in Chicken Little.
Second, an internet search helped reveal some of the DVD bonus features. Separated into two categories they are:
PIXIE HOLLOW - explores the world of the Fairies:
-Magical Guide to Pixie Hollow
-Tinker Trainer DVD ROM
-Ever Wonder Featurette
THE MAINLAND - explores the making of the movie:
-Creating Pixie Hollow
-Deleted Scenes
Third, I'm assuming that the trailer and the series of 6 `Pixie Preview' webisodes will also be included. Each webisode is about 2 minutes long and are creatively done to help introduce people to TinkerBell and the other Pixies (Not to mention the CGI world they will inhabit). These are:
Tink and the Bell
Tink and the Pepper Shaker
Fawn and the Log
Fawn and the Butterfly
Silvermist and the Fish
Iridessa and the Light Bugs
Rosetta and the Flower (There are apparently two versions of this one making the actual total to 7 webisodes.)
This Direct-to-DVD feature is also the first of 4 releases and the DVD will no-doubt boast at lease one trailer for these next releases:
Tinker Bell: North of Neverland (2009)
Tinker Bell: A Midsummer Storm (summer 2010)
Tinker Bell: A Winter Story (summer 2011)
And last but not least, this Direct-to-DVD feature will be a first for Disney. TinkerBell will talk! Mae Whitman will give Tinker Bell her first true voice. That is definitely something to look forward to!
In closing I give this 4 stars with the 5th in reserve for the actual film.
Going to be good [Posted on 2008-07-23] After seeing the trailer I thought it looked like a good movie. After I found out that Mairead Nesbitt of Celtic Woman played some of the music in the score, I knew it is going to be great. I am a Tinkerbell fan anyways and love Mairead so what better combination.
GREAT DVD FOR MY KID! [Posted on 2008-09-13] I'm getting this from my daughter Claudia cause she is nuts with toys! So she's taking a break from toys and getting this from Christmas!
CAN'T WAIT [Posted on 2008-09-23] I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT WITH MY DAUGHTER. I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING IT MY SELF. SHE IS JUST WILD ABOUT TINK. HER WHOLE ROOM IS DONE IN TINKERBELL. I THINK THE MOVIE WILL BE GREAT AND IT WILL BE SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THE NEXT ONES AS WELL. IT IS ABOUT TIME TINK GETS A VOICE OF HER OWN, IT WILL BE NICE TO HEAR WHAT SHE HAS TO SAY.
Lucky me! Saw it today at Disney World...sneak peak!!! [Posted on 2008-09-28] We are Disney passholders and were lucky enough to be invited to watch the movie this afternoon in it's entirety at Disney World! Let me just say it was wonderful!! Both myself and my almost 4 year old daughter were mesmerized by the graphics, the color and the story. It is very well done and I hope everyone has the opportunity to see it on the big screen like we did today because it is just beautiful. FYI, there are 3 more movies to follow this one, hopefully on the big screen. The message of the movie is also great for kids, that we can't all be good at everything but that's ok! Tink is such a cute character as are the other fairies, I sometimes forgot they weren't real! LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!
