Some Time, One Can Truly Believe In Fairies

Looks like the Theme Park Ranger finally believed in fairies. A few lucky passholders got invited to attend a preview of the upcoming direct-to-DVD movie "Tinker Bell". From this report, it appears to be quite a successful event.

And it appears that not only was it a fun event, but the movie might have been good enough for theatrical release.

I'll leave the reviews to others better versed in that kind of thing (Paging Mr. Roger Moore ...), but to someone who has watched practically all of Disney's and Pixar's animated features from the past 10 years with his kids, I really was puzzled that Disney was not treating this film as a theatrical release. After all, the animation was beautiful to watch, the story line was fairly interesting (yet geared for younger audiences to understand and appreciate), and there were quite a few sight and dialogue gags to make the parents chuckle and the kids laugh out loud. It may not have been on the same entertainment level as this year's Wall-E, yet it was a very decent film that entertained both of my kids enough that they were asking when we can see it again.

Humm... I didn't plan on buying this DVD, but after this, I may have to.

Disney can some time mess things up, but more often than not, they do get things right. And when they do it well, boy can they really do it. It appears that this is the one time they really did it very well.

Zz.
