But hold on tight! There ll be amazing encounters, some close calls, and a daring rescue by her old friend Terence! In her biggest adventure yet, Tinker Bell not only learns a lesson in responsibility, she discovers the true meaning of friendship. From the creators of Tinker Bell, Tinker Bell And The Lost Treasure is a captivating journey of self-discovery everyone will want to take.

Tinkerbell is back for a whole new season of adventure in Tinkerbell and the Lost Treasure. Pixie Hollow is all abuzz with preparations for autumn and Tinkerbell is hard at work on her latest invention when she is unexpectedly summoned by Queen Clarion and the Minister of autumn. Tinkerbell fears that she's in trouble again, but is instead delighted to find out that Fairy Mary has recommended her for the important job of creating a one-of-a-kind scepter that will focus the light of an unusual blue harvest moon through a rare moonstone in order to replenish the pixie dust tree's supply of pixie dust. Tinkerbell gladly rises to the challenge, accepting her dust-keeper friend Terrence's offers of help, but as the days fly rapidly by, pressure begins to build and Tinkerbell becomes annoyed by Terrence's constant attention. Sending Terrence away on an errand seems like a good idea, but what he brings back inadvertently causes the almost finished scepter and the incredibly rare moonstone to break into pieces. Tinkerbell lashes out at Terrence and then departs alone on a desperate quest to fix the moonstone. What Tinkerbell learns on her journey is that she must take responsibility for her own actions and that the power and value of true friendship is much greater than she'd ever imagined. Like the first Tinkerbell, the colors and clarity of animation are simply breathtaking in this production, but the story lags somewhat thanks to a lengthy set up and a general lack of suspense in the first half of the film. Still, it's a perfectly entertaining movie that will delight children ages 3 and up as well as satisfy most parents. Returning voice talent includes Mae Whitman, Kristin Chenoweth, Jane Horrocks, Anjelica Huston, Jesse McCartney, and Raven-Symone. --Tami HoriuchiStills from Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure Review Character DescriptionsTinker Bell: Tink is feisty, rebellious, impatient, impulsive, determined, persistent, and temperamental... yet still charming and lovable. Her talent for tinkering has earned her the coveted duty of creating a new autumn scepter to hold a beautiful moonstone, the key to renewing the Pixie Dust tree. But when the scepter accidentally breaks, she embarks on a perilous adventure to a lost island far north of Never Land, in search of a spooky shipwreck that may hold the key to fixing the scepter.The Four Gals: (Silvermist, Fawn, Rosetta, Iridessa): Big Sisters to Tink, they are fairies who travel to the mainland for the change of seasons, to nurture nature.Rosetta a garden fairy: Brimming with confidence, grace and charm, Ro wants every friend, flower, and fairy to look their best. She will patiently spend hours turning a pumpkin the perfect shade of orange or mixing up a brilliant blend of flower petals for fairy fireworks. Both sweet and sassy, Ro watches over her friends like an older sister.Silvermist a water fairy: With her calm demeanor and sympathetic ear, Sil is always eager to lend a friend a helping hand or give some timely advice. Her go-with-the-flow attitude can make her wishy-washy, and sometimes she takes things way too literally, but her heart is always in the right place. Whether she s placing delicate dewdrops on a spider web or training tadpoles to blow bubbles for the Autumn Revelry, Sil approaches everything with an offbeat, cheerful manner.Iridessa a light fairy: Dess is a brilliant, detail-oriented perfectionist. When she hangs firefly lanterns for a celebration, you can be sure that every lantern will be placed just right and every firefly properly lit. She tries to look on the bright side of things, but is often the first to smell disaster brewing and certainly the first to worry about it.Fawn an animal fairy: A pony-tailed tomboy full of mirth and mischief, the only thing Fawn loves more than playing with her fairy friends is playing with her animal friends. And the more rough-and-tumble the game, the better. Always encouraging and supportive, Fawn is an excellent teacher. If the goose she s teaching to land mows her down, she ll pop right back up, pat his beak, and give it another go.Fairy Mary a tinker fairy: Big, bold, brash and bossy. A mentor to Tink. Fairy Mary has grown to respect and admire Tink s tinker talent... to the point where she recommends Tink for the most prestigious assignment of creating the autumn scepter. Fairy Mary lives by the motto: Tinker fairies never fail. If Tink messes up, it will reflect badly on Fairy Mary Clank and Bobble tinker fairies: Boy tinkers and best pals who love their jobs. Clank is a big lug who always has his ears plugged with fluff (for banging on stuff), so he s always shouting. Bobble is a little guy with dewdrop goggles (for detail work) whose myopia often gets him in others personal space he s a close talker . They re good-natured geeks who are always talking shop.Queen Clarion: An ethereal being, she is practically Mother Nature and is like a Mother to all the fairies. Kind and loving, but also serious and firm when necessary.Vidia a fast-flying fairy: Vidia is a classic loner; she is one of the most special of special talent fairies and makes sure everyone knows it. Works with all the talents, creating breezes to blow down leaves in the autumn and spread pollen in the spring. She and Tink started off on the wrong foot. Vidia is the first to criticize Tink and expect the worst... but she is capable of acknowledging when Tink succeeds. --Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment Review More Character DescriptionsTerence: Terence is a male fairy (sometimes called a sparrow man) and a dust-keeper. He distributes the daily ration of Pixie Dust to all fairies in Pixie Hollow. Terence is loyal to his friends, eager to please and a bit over-enthusiastic which can get him in trouble. He has a special soft spot for Tink -- we know it's a crush, but he's too innocent to realize it.Blaze: Blaze is a young firefly; he's mischievous, inventive and enthusiastic. He communicates with impeccable pantomime motions and buzzing. He can use his light as a flashlight, spotlight or SOS. Despite his diminutive size, he is courageous and supremely loyal to his friends.The Bridge Trolls: This curmudgeonly, yet comical duo have been on a lost island far north of Never Land for hundreds of years, guarding a bridge formed by an elevated bramble branch tunnel. They are a frightful, stinky pair, made partially of wood and covered in bumps and boils. Although their bugged eyes and pointy ears may help them detect trespassing travelers, they have a hard time focusing on the task at hand. When confronted by a guest, the trolls take turns delivering an ominous warning, threatening to grind their bones to make their bread. However, neither is very good at delivering their proclamation and things usually end up with them bickering like brothers and hurling insults at one another including the most offensive of them all garden gnome. Fairy Gary: The plump, Scottish-accented head of the Pixie Dust distribution center is a stickler to detail, protocol and the rules. If a fairy has already received her share of Pixie Dust, there is no emergency great enough for him to give her more. Still, he's a good boss and treats his fellow Pixie Dust distribution fairies like family.Lyria: A pretty Story-Teller Fairy, Lyria is Pixie Hollow's equivalent of a Troubadour. She entertains fairies by telling them stories of old -- most times with an appropriate moral or lesson. Her beautiful pixie dust holograms help tell her elaborate tales.Viola: A Summoning Fairy, whenever Queen Clarion needs to see a fairy, Viola is dispatched to summon them with her kazoo. Tinker Bell tends to avoid Viola because getting summoned is usually a sign of trouble. --Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment
The Granddaughter's Review? Aaaaaa-mazing!!! 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.) The sequel is better than the first! Excellent! I had extremely low expectations for the first Tinker Bell but was very pleasantly surprised. Still, I wasn't quite sure that this particular "franchise" needed a sequel. So, with trepidation I put this disc into my player. "Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure" actually blows away its predecessor. Sure, the story is a tad predictable, but with fantastic new characters (including Blaze the firefly, and the two Trolls at the Troll Gate), returning favorites (Garden fairy Rosetta whose bubbly personality is pure Dolly Parton), and top-notch animation, this movie will be a joy to watch for all ages. The story: Tinker Bell is entrusted with the creation of the scepter for the Autumn Revelry. Her friend Terence offers to help, but his micro-managing of Tink sets her off, and in her anger, she accidentally breaks the precious and rare moonstone, threatening the life of everyone in Pixie Hollow. Lashing out at Terence, the friendship between these two fairies is jeopardized, and Tink must find a way to fix the moonstone...and the friendship. The rest you'll have to watch on your own; this synopsis is greatly simplified, but I do not want to give away any spoilers. On Tink's journey to repair the moonstone, she is joined by Blaze, a firefly. He is absolutely adorable, and given plenty of spunk and character by the Disney animation team. The animation team deserves a plethora of kudos; on Blu-ray (good reason to upgrade from DVD!) this movie will take your breath away; especially the scene in the Fairy Tale Theater. The lighting effects are amazing; absolutely beautiful. All throughout the movie there are many visual touches that will show that the people behind this movie took special care to elevate this many notches above the usual straight-to-video movie. Hidden Mickeys, Skull Rock, and plenty of other details that bear repeated viewings. The Celtic-style music is back, but I feel it is blended much better into the movie than it was in the original film. I really can't say enough good things about this movie. SPECS: Video: Widescreen, 1.78:1 * Audio: English 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound, French & Spanish; subtitles: English, French & Spanish. While the audio is crystal clear and pleasing to listen to, there are really no dynamic uses of the surround that seemed memorable to me. EXTRAS: Backstage Disney Tinker Bell Comes to Disney World (8:20): Both Disneyland in Anaheim & Disney World in Orlando have Pixie Hollow areas, but this featurette focues on the Orlando version which has beautiful topiaries and 3-dimensional recreations of objects from this movie. With careful attention to colors and characterization from the movie, garden designer Carla Schuman and team discuss how it all came together. Deleted Scenes (16:00): Includes intros by Director Klay Hall and Producer Sean Lurie Alternate Scenes (4:00): These are pretty much manufactured bloopers that are fun to watch, including gaffes, some bodily function jokes, as well as a few other mildly funny/amusing bits. Bonus Short (4:46): This is a magical guide to the Autumn area of Pixie Hollow, led by Terence & Tinker Bell. Pleasant to watch, it does appear to be more of an advertisement for [...] than a true short. Even the animation style is a little static and looks more like a 2-dimensional book illustration with simple movement than an animated film. "The Gift of a Friend" music video, performed by Disney Channel's Demi Lovato Previews include Dumbo (70th Anniversary Edition on Bluray in Spring 2010), The Princess & The Frog, Tinker Bell & The Great Fairy Rescue (the next installment!), Blu-ray/High Def Disney movies, Santa Buddies-The Legend of Santa Paws (with Christopher Lloyd), Ponyo, G-Force, Beauty & The Beast (Diamond Edition in High Def), and Disney on Ice-Worlds of Fantasy (including Tinker Bell & Friends) FINAL WORDS: You'd have to be extremely curmudgeonly not to enjoy this film and appreciate the high quality of animation and characterization! 80 Minutes of silence with a good message! I have two young daughters who both loved the first Tinkerbell, especially my 2 year old, so I got this last night hoping it would be as big of a hit as the first one. My 4 year old sat through the whole thing without budging, and my 2 year old kept telling Daddy "I love you" while she watched it (overly appreciative toddler FTW!). Both girls got giggles from parts of the movie. My youngest apparently laughed every time Tink counts. This movie is on par with the first one in regards to the visuals and music, but I think the message is much better this time around. I also like that Terrence is more involved in this film, and Blaze is just as cute as can be. I'm still out on my opinion of Tinks new outfit. My kids seem to like it though. The "scenes you never saw" are absolutely hilarious and frankly almost better than the movie itself. And if anyone from Disney reads these I know some little girls who would LOVE more about Silvermist, Iridessa, Fawn, and Rosetta too. ;)
