In “Secret of the Wings,” Tink’s friends in Pixie Hollow have been contracted to send x-amount of baskets of supplies and such to the wintry side of the pixie world-a world that has a magical line of demarcation mid-way along a fallen tree that spans a river leading from one world to the next. ![]() “Tinker Bell” was an origin story, and as such it had to deal with scrutiny over character inconsistencies-like, how can this winged little pixie be so giggly and charming and happy, when Tink in “Peter Pan” was a jealous, conniving, pouting candidate for anger management therapy?īy this installment, Tink’s personality has long been established for this series, along with her propensity for jumping pixie-feet first into new adventures.

But the theme of finding one’s place in the world is really something that older children on the cusp of adulthood can more readily identify with. The first film introduced Tinker Bell as a character who was thought of as a disaster by others and who felt adrift until she found her niche in the social scheme of Pixie Hollow.

The all-CGI work is impressive, especially in Blu-ray, and Disney has filled the cast list with some pretty high-profile voice talents: like Anjelica Huston, Mae Whitman, Kristin Chenoweth, Raven-Symoné, Lucy Liu, Jodi Benson, Timothy Dalton, and Jesse McCartney. But that doesn’t mean they don’t put care into the production. Yep, like the Buddies pics and the “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” films, this is one of Disney’s money-making franchises. ![]()
