Alright, so... in case you couldn't tell by the title, this is another one of Disney's direct-to-DVD movies. While the majority of their theatrical releases are successful (not to mention fun to watch), their DVD releases tend to be the exact opposite. This latest installment, titled "Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure" is a spin off of Peter Pan... except he is no where to be seen in this one. The star is Peter Pan's silent companion Tink (even though she's not silent at all here).
This critique will be fairly short because there's not much to critique. It's a movie designed for children and family, and that's all it tries to be. The plot is: Tinker Bell is given the honor of constructing the anual "pixi dust sceptre" for the grand ceremony of creating pixi dust. However, after breaking it by accident, she must travel to a far away ship that contains a treasure that will help her reconstruct the sceptre.
The andventure is rather short, and there is very little excitement to be had. Even the climax (which involves Tink and her best friend Terence running away from evil rats) falls flat. There is no antagonist. The main conflict has to do with... you guessed it... friendship! Tink and Terrence get in a fight, that causes them to stop being friends for a while. Will they become friends again?? I know you're dying to find out, but what kind of critic would I be to give away the ending...
Long story short, "Tinkbell and the Lost Treasure" is a short, cute family film... but it's instantly forgettable and definitely not anywhere near Disney's best.
My Rating: 4 out of 10
