Synopsis:
Enter the magical world of fairies and meet the enchanting creatures of Pixie Hollow, who "nurture nature" and bring about the change of the seasons. Changing the colors of the leaves, moving a sunbeam to melt snow, waking animals from their winter slumber, or giving a patch of sproutlings a sprinkle of water are all within the realm of these seasonal specialists. Tinker Bell thinks her fairy talent as a "tinker" isn't as special or important as the other fairies' talents. But when Tink tries to change who she is, she creates nothing but disaster! With encouragement from her friends Rosetta, Silvermist, Fawn and Iridessa, Tink learns the key to solving her problems lies in her unique tinker abilities -- and discovers that when she’s true to herself, magical things can happen.

Recommendation: Rent/Queue it

I have to confess, I haven't seen this movie yet. See I'm a man and I have two boys; it's hard to get into a whole movie about Tinker Bell. The movie came in the mail and when I got home, my boys had already watched it once; they couldn't wait to watch it again. I was intrigued so I asked my older son (8) what the movie was about, what he liked about it, and the message. This is what he said, with only slight editorializing on my part.
"This movie's lesson is: Be proud of the talents that you have been given and don't be jealous of someone else's. Tinkerbell tried to be someone else in the movie, a garden fairy instead of a tinker fairy, and she ruined Spring. She fixed it later, but bad things happen when you try to be someone else."
I thought that was pretty good. And my sons have both given this movie a big vote of confidence, by watching it several times since we received it last week. My boys highly recommend it... guess that means I have to watch.
