"Tinker Bell: Secret of the Wings"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The magic has returned! After a lackluster "Pixie Hollow Games", "Tinker Bell: Secret of the Wings" delivered another phenomenal computer-animated feature length film.

The movie begins like some of the previous ones, with a narration that is beautifully done by Loreena Mc Kennitt. There are no human characters (well, except very briefly in something that is like a flashback scene), which is the way I prefer it. The core cast is still present, but we are also introduced to some new fairies who I love just as much as the main characters from the previous movies. 

True to Tink's nature, her curiosity once again gets the best of her. She guides some furry (not fairy) friends to the border where Winter Woods begins. Tink is very curious about the wonder of Winter Woods, but the residents of Pixie Hollow are not allowed to venture into it. Of course, this does not stop Tink from going there anyway. There is also a bit of a subplot in this movie that is predictable, but no less enjoyable.

I love that this movie focuses on the wings of the fairies. The wings are something that stood out to me from the very first movie in the series. It makes perfect fairy sense to film an entire movie about them. There's also a reading fairy and I love that Tink turns to a book to try and find some answers.

What unfolds is a light mystery with a beautiful and ever so slightly suspenseful story. While the music is not as much a part of this film as it is the previous feature length Disney fairy films, when it does happen it is classic Disney magic. The computer animation is spectacular, even surpassing those of the previous films in the series. Since this movie is winter-themed, the colors match the season and are still vividly striking. 

On a personal note, there is a cat in this movie named Fiona. I didn't know this until I saw the movie. She plays a small, but very important role in it.  Imagine my delight when I realized there is a movie featuring both "Bell" and "Fiona"! And this happened to be the first feature length film I watched since adopting my two kittens! (Check out my other blog, Caboodle of Cozies, to read more about them each week.)

There is nothing I don't like about "Secret of the Wings". I highly recommend it for children and adults alike. You will be transformed into a magical world of wonder that you won't want to leave. You don't have to watch the previous films in order to know what's going on, but why skip them? They are all worth watching.

We're not done yet! There is more to come in this series!
