We could
all use a little bit more magic in our lives and I think that connecting with
our child’s spirit is the best way to do that. That connection is all about
remembering the excitement we felt about the little things when we were
younger. For me the excitement usually comes around Christmas time and whenever
I watch animated movies. Now, Christmas is still a few months away, but that
also means there is no better time to be watching Tinker Bell and the Legend of
the NeverBeast.
I plan on
talking about the whole Disney Fairies/Tinker Bell Movie franchise in a later
post because it is one of my favorites, but I thought the latest installment
would be a good place to start. It has quite a special story. For the first
time Fawn (an animal fairy) is the main character and we follow her as she
discovers a strange creature and tries to understand and befriend him. The rest
of the fairies are not so sure about the beast, so as they try to capture him,
Fawn and her friends come together to save him.
This is a
beautiful story about learning the important of not judging others and how we should
try to really get to know people before passing judgements. Personally I feel
like all the Tinker Bell movies teach such great morals and are truly perfect
for kids. That being said, as an adult, I really enjoy them as well because
they are beautiful to watch and the stories are always very heartwarming. Also
the fairy magic in them always brings me back to when I was younger, I would
have loved those movies.
Tinker Bell
and the Legend of the NeverBeast has a great message to teach us all, but that
does not stop it from being very funny and cute. The ending is quite abrupt (not
that it’s bad), but kids might be surprised to see it end the way it does
because you expect to see more. I did shed a few tears, but I would not call it
a sad movie, it is just very touching because the relationship between Fawn and
the NeverBeast feels very real.
You can get
Tinker Bell and the Legend of the NeverBeast on DVD from Amazon and other major
retailers. It is also available on iTunes and Netflix is you prefer a digital
format.
