I'm thinking of watching these films. Can someone rank them so I know which are worth checking out?

I think you should watch them in order; they don't need to be watched in sequence per se, but character growth is obvious from film to film, and they do talk of events that happened previously throughout the series.

Just in case you didn't know the order, it is as follows:

Tinker Bell
Tinker Bell & The Lost Treasure
Tinker Bell & The Great Fairy Rescue
Pixie Hollow Games
Tinker Bell & The Secret Of The Wings
Pixie Hollow Bake Off
Tinker Bell & The Pirate Fairy

The shorts an absolute must as well, as they are just brilliant. Personal favourite is 'Secret / Treasure' I think. Though I loved Pirates, will need to see it again on blu before I rank it I think.

I would hope! I think it's still got at least one film left in it. The natural progression now would be taking Peter Pan to Neverland.

I just got around to seeing 'The Pirate Fairy' and I think it's been my favourite from the series.
I really liked how Tinkerbell didn't save the day. It was nice to see her out of her comfort zone with the swapped powers.

The only thing I think could have been better is a better sound-alike for Hans Conried as Captain Hook.

I hope they do a five film collection and I'll pick them all up.
Settling Soul mates? That is grim. And I've played Monopoly alone.

Isn't 'Tinker Bell and the Pixie Hollow Bake Off' a bonus feature? This review doesn't mention it at all.

'Tinker Bell and the Legend of the Neverbeast' highlighted character: Fawn.
Interesting observation. I would also add Terence as the highlighted character in "Lost Treasure".

Unfortunately, it's not. Instead of including the short on the Blu-ray combo, Disney opted to release it on DVD as a Walmart exclusive. It will probably be included on home video releases overseas since it was listed in the BBFC bonus compilation.

True!

Well, I'm sure Atlantica will let us know if it's included.

Course I will, have no worries about that! But as it has had a proper cinema release over here, it will be months before we get it on home release :(

Just popped by to say I saw The Pirate Fairy a few days ago, and I thought it was pretty good. Beginning with The Great Fairy Rescue, the Tinker Bell movie series got better. I mean the first two were okay, but the ones that followed next, were way better. Anyway, back to The Pirate Fairy :roll:, I enjoyed Tom Hiddleston's performance (I thought it had a bit of Loki in it :P ), and the visuals were quite stunning. The story was predictable, but I did enjoy it nevertheless.

I went to my local Disney store at the weekend, and they said the Pirate Fairy stuff - especially the dolls of Zarina & Rosetta - are on a constant loop of selling out.

Margaret Kerry, the live-action reference model for Tinker Bell in Peter Pan reviews The Pirate Fairy!

The music video for "Who I Am" has been released as well as two featurettes on How to Draw Zarina and How to Draw Tinker Bell.

Not yet but it's too early for that. The film continues to perform well overseas and on home video stateside so fingers crossed!

Hi Sotiris. I just wonder, which "Tinker Bell" film is your favorite and why? Forgive me if the answer is already here on this site, but I'm just curious.

I think my favorite is Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue. I like the story of Lizzy and her father, the fact that Vidia gets redeemed and she's no longer an antagonist, and that the film has a nice balance of humor, adventure, and heart. What's your favorite Tinker Bell movie?
