The worlds of fairies and humans become intertwined in Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment’s newest release, Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue.  Before Tinker Bell met Wendy, Michael, and John in Peter Pan, she met Lizzy.  In the third fairy installment (preceded by Tinker Bell and Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure), Tinker Bell develops a special bond with Lizzy when she finds herself trapped in a fairy house she had built to catch a fairy.  Tink risks her safety and the safety of her fairy friends in this action-filled adventure.

This enchanting movie with an uplifting plot and rich animation takes place in the summer in the English countryside.  Everything about the movie is magical and inspires imagination.  Despite the fact that fairies have traditionally appealed to girls, my 3 1/2 year old son enjoyed the movie…twice!  I really like the messages of friendship and collaboration that are conveyed.  Overall, it’s a feel-good movie that you can feel good about your children watching.

Here is a brief synopsis of the movie, from the site:

Witness the historic moment when Tinker Bell first meets a human being… and it’s not who you think. Years before meeting Wendy and the Lost Boys, Tinker Bell meets Lizzy, a little girl with a steadfast belief in the power of pixie dust and the magic land of fairies. During the fairies’ summer visit to the flowering meadows of England, two very different worlds unite for the first time and Tink develops a special bond with a curious child in need of a friend. As her fellow fairies launch a daring rescue, Tinker Bell takes a huge risk, putting her own safety and the future of all fairykind in jeopardy.

Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue features the voice talents of Lucy Liu, Kristen Chenoweth, and Raven-Symone and is on DVD and Blu-Ray today.  You can save $10 from Disney Movie Rewards when you purchase the Blu-ray + DVD Combo Pack.
