There is only one reason to get this DVD and that is if your daughter is a big Tinker Bell and fairy fan.

For the rest of us, the plot may be a bit lame and the adventure level not high enough. I actually thought I had slept through and missed some important bits because after watching this I did an Internet search and found all sorts of glowing reviews.

So, I watched it again and realised I didn't miss anything. Besides the fairy element (currently big business judging by the number of books, magazines and other merchandise available), there really is no other reason to watch.

The story starts off with Tinker Bell itching for something to fix as the other fairies are busy with summer – getting everything to work on schedule (from painting the butterflies to taking care of the plants).

After landing on the mainland, Tinker Bell and Vidia set off in search of things to fix and wonderful human treasures to take back with them. Tinker Bell is warned by the other fairies not to go anywhere near humans.

As they explore the area, Tinker Bell sees a lovely little house in the field with a sign welcoming fairies. Disregarding Vidia's warnings, Tinker Bell goes in to explore.

Wanting to teach her a lesson, Vidia slams the door shut.

Returning to check on her little fairy house is a girl named Lizzy who has a great fascination for fairies even though she's never seen one before.

Lizzy lives alone with her father, a man whose work involves studying butterflies.

Vidia struggles to open the door so Tinker Bell can get out before Lizzy gets there but it appears to be stuck. Lizzy peeps into the house and sees Tinker Bell.

She is overjoyed and overcome with excitement and takes the house with Tinker Bell in it home. She can't wait to show Tinker Bell off to her father but changes her mind after seeing the way her father traps and studies butterflies.

Lizzy and Tinker Bell get to know one another and Lizzy even learns how to fly – thanks to some fairy dust. Her first attemps result in her flying into things and knocking all sorts of things to the ground.

Going upstairs to find out what all the commotion is about, Lizzy's dad insists she gives up all this fairy nonsense as there is no such thing as fairies.

Tinker Bell, who has been hiding all this while, gets really cross with Lizzy's father and comes out to scold him.

The father is shocked to see a fairy scolding him. He attempts to capture Tinker Bell in a bottle to show her off to the scientists in London.

At that same time, Vidia and Tinker Bell's other fairy friends arrive to save her. Pushing her to safety, Vidia is the one who is trapped by Lizzy's father in a jar.

He speeds off to London in his car.

It's now up to Lizzy, Tinker Bell and the other fairies to save Vidia from suffering the same fate as the butterflies who end up pinned up on a board.

I have nothing against fairies. I do find Tinker Bell and her friends cute but this movie seemed to lack a really good plot. It seemed to have been made just for the sake of churning out another Tinker Bell movie.

I much preferred the first movie – Tinker Bell – where the fairies of Pixie Hollow were introduced one by one and Tinker Bell attempted to fit in.

This one lacked any compelling story or even life lessons.

I would give this DVD a skip. - Review by S.N.
