   I really enjoyed this movie. It was beautiful from the music to the artwork. I also had low expectations for this sequel and was totally blown away! It was quite a delight!

   I am a 38 year old man and I cried three times while watching this movie. I don’t care what age or gender you are you will love this movie. I was not bored at all and the time just flew by! This is a must have! Have a box of tissues with you.

   This movie was short but good. I didn’t know what to expect. I’m not a huge fan of Peter Pan, but I like Tinker bell.. for some reason. Anyway, the movie had it’s moments and laughs. I loved Tinker bell’s companion during her search for the treasure. He was so cute and fun. The voice acting was good and the story was enjoyable as a whole. Young kids will enjoy this movie but it’s standable for all ages.

   My five year old granddaughter loved the first Tinker Bell movie (Tinker Bell (BD Live) [Blu-ray]) and has been anticipating this one with regular updates to me on just how many days still remained until it would be “available in stores everywhere on DVD and Blu-Ray Disc”. I picked it up early today and we were able to watch it together this afternoon.

   Though my enjoyment of the film could not possibly have matched the pleasure I took in watching my granddaughter’s face glow with joy, gasp with dismay and dissolve into laughter as SHE watched the film, I’m happy to admit that I darned well liked it, too.

   Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure in a genuine delight. Moms, dads and grandparents should be entertained right along with the little ones. The story of friendship, arguments, placing blame and taking responsibility is a very good one for the target audience (and the rest of us as well, for that matter). But above and beyond the story, what really stands out for me in this film is the incredible amount of creativity that lies behind it. The Imagineers have done a wonderful job “tinkering” with the natural elements of Pixie Hollow to make everything: clothing, tools, everyday items, machines to complete each fairy’s work, etc. It’s so much fun to see what they come up with. My favorite touch was the cricket clock.

   I also enjoyed getting a chance to go beyond Pixie Hollow and see a little more of the world surrounding Neverland. I liked seeing more of Terence, got a big kick out of the wise owl (there are more scenes with the owl in the extras), loved the calla lily trumpets and found the trolls very amusing.

   Extras: Though I’m sure she wasn’t getting all the jokes, the “bloopers” had both my granddaughter and me laughing out loud. I was also happy to see some of the beautiful drawings from In the Realm of the Never Fairies: Secret World of Pixie Hollow, The (Disney Fairies), which I absolutely loved, used in one of the other bonus features, “The Magical Guide to Pixie Hollow”.

   I’ve heard that two or three additional Tinker Bell films are planned, with the next being Tinker Bell & The Great Fairy Rescue. I can only hope my granddaughter anticipates the coming films with the same enthusiasm she anticipated this one and that I’ll be with her as she views each of them for the first time so that I can watch her face reflect their magic as well.

   Happily recommended.

   Note: Even if purchasers don’t currently have a Blu-ray player, they might want to consider purchasing the Blu-ray Combo Pack (Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure (Two Disc + BD Live) [Blu-ray]) rather than this DVD because it includes both the Blu-ray disc AND the DVD. That way, should they get a Blu-ray player sometime down the road, they would have the Blu-ray version already. (I only paid about $5 more for the combo pack, which I thought was a good buy.)
