DVD review: “Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure”
From Friday’s Weekend Look section of The Oklahoman.
“Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure” Blu-Ray+DVD pack
Disney returns to Pixie Hollow for the charming “Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure,” the second direct-to-DVD computer-animated movie in its popular fairies franchise.
As the fairies are busily working to bring in fall, Tinker Bell (voice of Mae Whitman) gets an important assignment from Queen Clarion (Anjelica Huston): to craft the Autumn Scepter for the Autumn Revelry. This year, the fall celebration will feature a rare Blue Moon, so Tink will top the staff with an invaluable moonstone. When the light of the Blue Moon shines through the ancient gem, it will create special blue pixie dust to enliven the Pixie Dust Tree.
Tink taps her best friend Terence (Jesse McCartney), a dust-keeper fairy who knows all about pixie dust, to help her. But as Terence hovers over her shoulder and the Autumn Revelry nears, Tink starts feeling the pressure.
When an accident breaks the scepter, she blows up at her pal and tosses him out. She then throws a tantrum, accidentally shattering the moonstone.
Desperate to save the Autumn Revelry, Tink makes the dangerous journey north of Neverland in search of the wrecked pirate ship that holds the mystical wish-granting Mirror of Incanta.
While last year’s “Tinker Bell” focused on setting the scene and introducing characters, “The Lost Treasure” wings straight into the new adventure. The movie doesn’t spend much screen time with favorite fairies Rosetta (Oklahoma native Kristin Chenoweth), Silvermist (Lucy Liu), Iridessa (Raven-Symoné) and Fawn (Angela Bartys), but it features truly enchanting visuals, from the richly colored fall landscapes to Tink’s fantastic flying machine.
Perhaps the best endorsement of the film: Even my almost-3-year-old son watched it spellbound.
DVD features: The movie comes in one of Disney’s clever Blu-Ray/DVD packs and features a bonus short, Demi Lovato music video, deleted scenes and funny outtakes.
