In 2009, after Tinker
Bell proved to be a good investment, a sequel was made. Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure was
released on DVD and Blu-ray, generating about $50 million in revenue. It also
premiered at the UN Headquarters and Tinker Bell was named the “honorary
Ambassador of Green” to help promote environmental awareness among children.
Most of the cast returned, but America Ferrerra was replaced by Angela Bartys.
As the nature faries are preparing to bring autumn to the
mainland, Tinker Bell (Mae Whitman) is trying to make a Pixie Express. But
fails. However, Queen Clarion (Anjelica Huston), Fairy Mary (Jane Horrocks) and
Redleaf, the Minister of Autumn (John DiMaggio) send for her, explaining that
she is to create a new scepter for the Autumn Revelry.
Settle in, because there’s quite a few Pixie Hollow films,
with more on the way. But if they continue to have the same quality this and
the last film did, then it’s not so much of a worry as they’re far better than
the onslaught faced before them.
Since she’s already realized she’s meant to be a Tinker
Fairy, a new plot was needed and this one is definitely not a rehash of the
first. Actually, it’ nothing like the first. Tinker Bell fully embraces her
skills in order to create something and her craftiness when it goes south and
when it continues to go south.
Once again, the pacing and stakes of the film makes for a
good children’s movie. Instead of being able to wish the moonstone back
together, she actually has to face presenting it shattered at the Autumn
Revelry. But it’s the Eureka moment of a firefly creating a disco ball effect
that she realizes a shattered moonstone would be more beneficial than a whole
one.
Once again, meant for little girls, but has a charm that
makes it better than expected.
