Secret of the Wings (2012)

A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

As you'd expect with a Disney movie, this really delivers on beautiful, crisp visuals. The focus on the seasons made for some wonderful scenes with winter and spring landscapes.The plot is straightforward and moves along at a good pace, making it very watchable for its target audience, young children. There's not much here for adults but that's OK!An obvious criticism is that this movies plays very much on the "girls as pretty princesses" stereotype. The male characters are the one's in charge of technology and knowledge, which is too stereotypical and a bit of a disappointment.On the other hand, it's good to see female characters in lead "action" roles. Tinkerbell and Periwinkle aren't exactly deep or complex characters but they are still engaging and make it a magical film for young children.

I did enjoy the previous Tinkerbell films, so I watched Tinkerbell and the Secret of the Wings knowing what to expect and hoping it would be as good as the others. And it was. From an adult standpoint, maybe the story is a touch too simplistic and some of the dialogue cheesy(and I have to admit I did find them so at times). This said, the story is also cute and charming with a well-intentioned message, and the main target audience I doubt are going to care too much about what the dialogue is like. Moving on to the many positives about Secret of the Wings, I'll start with the animation, which is really beautiful, full of colour and sparkle. I'd go as far to say that of the Tinkerbell movies, and all of them are well-animated in my opinion, Secret of the Wings is the loveliest from a visual standpoint. The soundtrack is sweet, breezy and unobtrusive, which suits the tone of the story very well. The characters are still likable and engaging, also ones that anybody in the right mindset will relate to. And that is instead of going around saying that it's for "little girls", an irritating stereotype that helps to give the Tinkerbell movies and others movies an undeservedly, I feel, bad rap. They are also very well voiced, Timothy Dalton and Anjelica Huston(the latter being one of my favourite actresses) both do great jobs and gives older audiences to the main target audience at least one reason to watch without prejudice. Overall, a charming and beautifully animated. 8/10 Bethany Cox

This movie is not as good as other tinker bell movies. But still i love this movie. Specially the climax,where it shows the original bonding of two sisters. The kiss shared between queen and lord milori was a nice shot. The whole new side of the fairy land. All new peoples. All new fun and all new works, makes this movie very special.Children in my home are big fan of tinker bell.Animation is really good. I conclude a message from the movie is ,love cannot be kept apart,whether it is the love of sisters. Tinker bell has a sister Periwinkle....wow...I have seen the tinker bell series and i love the first part very much. This movie deserves a watch and 9 stars.

I took my three year old to see this movie over the weekend and it was a massive hit!!She is tinker bell obsessed, we have the other three at home and when I saw that there was a new one at the movies was right in there.The story is just beautiful. If you have a little girl who is fairy mad then this movie is a must! Waiting for it come out on DVD now as little miss hasn't stopped talking about it :)100% 10 out of 10 good movie for the big kid adult as well. a few jokes in there that got the parents laughing and the kids were like huh.all round, great movie for your little princess
