Misjudged



I don't think I've ever fully appreciated the intelligent, independent creature that is Tinker Bell. I always dismissed her as Peter Pan's scantily-clad fairy friend. I've recently been enlightened due to watching the new Tinker Bell movie (with Ella).

Apparently, a fairy is created as a result of a baby's first laugh. "Tink" was born and given the talent of a "tinker"...fairy speak for engineer! The girl is smart! She struggles with her identity throughout the cartoon, trying her hand at more girly careers, but eventually accepts her skills as a tinker.

The cartoon really is sweet, and the animation is beautiful. I've always been an admirer of fairy dust:) If you have little ones, check it out. If not, check it out anyway and just don't tell anyone!!!

P.S. The end of the movie provides Tink's tie to Peter Pan; kinda cool.

If you haven't already, you should read Peter and the Starcatchers. It's the back story of Peter Pan, and I love it!

Hmm. I wouldn't have even considered watching this latest Disney DVD, but after your review? Going to watch it with my 10 yr. Girl Child. =) It sounds rather nice!
