The Pirate Fairy Reviews
Great voice voice actors.
| Original Score: B+ | Feb 20, 2019
The Pirate Fairy shimmers and shines and couldn't be prettier. It's bursting with old-fashioned girl power and although there's nothing new it will make fun excursion if you've got young girls on your hands these holidays.
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 17, 2016
Disney animators had fun with this one, coloring mostly within the lines of the Pixie Hollow movies but slipping outrageously outside the margins every now and then as they offer a rollicking prequel to Peter Pan.
| Original Score: B+ | Apr 3, 2016
Ranks right up near the very best of the its franchise and thus the very best direct-to-video Disney movies ever.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 30, 2014
Sweet and simplistic, it won't offer you the bells and whistles of Frozen.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 10, 2014
It's an engaging and entertaining adventure story, refreshingly centered around a group of distinct female characters and even directed by a woman to boot.
| Original Score: 7.0/10 | Aug 1, 2014
At its core, underneath the swashbuckling adventure, Tinker Bell and the Pirate Fairy is a thoughtful tale of female friendship, of appreciating individuality, opening one's mind to new possibilities and always believing in second chances.
| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jul 7, 2014
A lively swashbuckling affair that pits Tink and her Pixie Hollow friends against younger versions of the pirates from JM Barrie's beloved children's classic, which is a delightful notion in itself and gives the action an appealing dash and swagger.

While Disney's cheaply made Tinkerbell films have none of the cultural cachet of more lavish animated features, they're getting slyer and more interesting on their own terms.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 27, 2014
Terrific stuff, beautifully animated and with a nice, positive message... it is great fun and another example of how new ideas can help keep a franchise fresh.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 26, 2014
Amusing pirate-themed Tinker Bell adventure; some violence.
| Original Score: 4/5 | May 5, 2014
a fine film for children to enjoy with their parents
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 1, 2014
So much better than one would expect for a fifth installment in a franchise, this tribute to female friendship and girl power is a kick.
| Apr 7, 2014
A congenial animated feature that grown-ups can enjoy, parents will appreciate for its valuable themes, and little ones will be over the moon about.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 31, 2014
True flights of fancy - as when the fairies make an imaginary man walk and dance by manipulating an overcoat, tricorn hat and buckled boots - are far too rare.

Directed by Peggy Holmes it's short and sweet, will attach to parents' fondness for Peter Pan and keep younger kids happy.

Tom Hiddleston has silver-tongued fun as a young Captain Hook, but the results are as unmemorable as they are innocuous.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 16, 2014
Because Hiddleston is a genius and the scriptwriters obviously adore him, the ocean-bound scenes are less nightmarishly tedious than non-fans of the genre might expect.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 14, 2014
The girl-power swashbuckling that follows might be cheering if it went beyond 60 minutes, or could offer anything more than smoothly indifferent animation and a new Natasha Bedingfield song.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 13, 2014
There are some gorgeous Disney touches, rabble-rousing songs on the pirate ship and the usual 'best friends for ever' message.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 11, 2014
