Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure

Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure is a 2009 3D computer animated film based on the Disney Fairies franchise, produced by Disneytoon Studios, and the Disney Fairies book Tink, North of Never Land. It is a sequel to the 2008 film Tinker Bell and revolves around Tinker Bell, a fairy character created by J. M. Barrie in his play Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, and featured in subsequent Disney adaptations. The film was produced using digital 3D modeling. It was released on DVD and Blu-ray by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment.
==Plot==
The nature-talent fairies are bringing to the mainland the season of leaves, hibernation, chilly breezes, and pumpkins: autumn. Meanwhile, Tinker Bell and dust-talent fairies like Terence are staying in Pixie Hollow. Tinker Bell is trying to make a "Pixie Express", but it fails just as she is called to meet Queen Clarion, Fairy Mary and Redleaf, the Minister of Autumn.
They show her a mystical Moonstone and explain to her its tremendous powers. Every eight years, there is a blue harvest moon in Pixie Hollow. When the light of this rare blue moon passes through the moonstone, it creates blue pixie dust to strengthen and rejuvenate the Pixie Dust Tree. The Autumn Revelry is the associated event during which the fairies gather to collect the dust.
A new scepter is to be made to raise the moonstone, and Tinker Bell has been recommended. Although Tinker Bell made mistakes in the past, Fairy Mary explains that tinker fairies learn from them most of the time. Tinker Bell accepts the task, as well as help from Terence. But as the work on the scepter progresses, Tinker Bell begins to have trouble with Terence, who is trying too hard to be helpful. When Terence accidentally breaks the scepter, Tink becomes furious, causing her to break the moonstone, which is to go into the scepter. That evening, she attends a fairy tale theatre show about the Mirror of Incanta, a magic mirror that granted two of three magic wishes before becoming lost. Tinker Bell sets out in a balloon she creates to find the Mirror of Incanta. Tinker Bell intends to use the third and last wish to restore the shattered moonstone to its original form.
While trying to evade a hungry bat, a firefly named Blaze crash-lands into Tinker Bell's balloon, though the pixie fails to notice. After flying further, Tinker Bell begins to get hungry but when she looks through her food pouches, she finds that the food has all been eaten by a firefly. Tink orders the firefly to leave, which he seemingly does, though he truly wants to tag along with Tink on her quest to find the magical mirror that can grant one wish. Tink hopes to use the wish to repair the shattered moonstone that will provide blue pixie dust for the fairies. After Blaze's apparent exit, Tink tries to read her map, but it is too dark to see. Blaze then sheds light on the map to help Tink, and she finally allows him to stay. As the duo's adventure continues, Tink thinks she has stumbled upon the stone arch that is said to lead way to the mirror. She leaves the balloon to make sure of this, and leaves Blaze to watch over things. While Tink is out however, the balloon begins to stray away, and Blaze rushes to tell Tink. Tink is too busy trying to figure out why she stumbled upon a bent tree instead of the stone arch to notice Blaze. When she finally sees the balloon floating off, she briefly blames Blaze. The two follow after it, but the harsh winds knock them down. The next morning, Tinker Bell awakens and is hungry and lost.
Blaze scouts out to rally some forest insects that provided food and water for Tink. They also lead her and Blaze to the stone arch, and the adventure continues. They find the shipwreck that is said to house the mirror and head inside. Tinker Bell finally discovers the mirror, but she accidentally wastes the third wish, wishing Blaze to be quiet for one minute. She gets furious at Blaze and blames him, but she begins to cry. She is found by Terence, who followed her after discovering her plans and the fragments of the moonstone in her empty house. They get chased by rats and run back to the balloon.
Tinker Bell and Terence start back to Pixie Hollow. Along the way, Tinker Bell fixes the scepter using a white gem from the top of the mirror, the scepter pieces Terence has wisely brought, and the moonstone pieces, all set at just the right angle. She discovers the magic of true friendship, humility, and love. Thanks to inspired teamwork with Terence, she is ready to give the scepter to Queen Clarion.
When she unveils the scepter, the assembled fairies are all shocked and alarmed to see the fragments of the precious moonstone. However, the broken moonstone shards create an unexpected benefit: they drastically magnify and increase the surface area through which the rays of the blue moon can pass, creating the largest supply of blue pixie dust ever seen in Pixie Hollow.

==Production==
Because the film takes place in the cooler weather of autumn, the costume design for Tinker Bell called for a more realistic outfit. Designers added a long-sleeve shirt, shawl, leggings, and boots to her costume. Said director Klay Hall, "In the earlier films, she wears her iconic little green dress. However, it being fall and there being crispness in the air, in addition to this being an adventure movie, her dress just wouldn't work".
Instead, her outfit is almost similar to the outfit of Peter Pan with his signature green cap and red feather. Tinker Bell was also the companion and best friend of Peter so it is accurate to why she is wearing this outfit. She also has the needle of a compass that Terence brought her before their fight just like Peter’s dagger.

==Trivia==
*The film's concept is loosely inspired by the 2007 Disney Fairy Chapter Book Tink, North of Never Land, albeit with numerous changes made from the book, such as adding much more drama, introduces things like the blue dust and how it is made, as well as Peter Pan and the Lost Boys noticeably absent.
*For this film, Tinker Bell was given her first new outfit in over 50 years, which reflects the autumn setting of the movie. According to Klay Hall, the director of the movie, the tomboyish look of the outfit still reveals the curves she has had since her first appearance in 1953. Her outfit is consisting of a hat, cape, long sleeve top, leggings, and boots with her familiar pom-poms.
**The green hat she has along with the rest of her outfit, has a red feather, possibly alluding to Peter Pan.
*Chronologically, this film is very likely to take place at least six months since the events of the first Tinker Bell film, as the first film takes place at the start of spring, while this film takes place at the start of autumn.
**Since the next film Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue takes place in summer, this could imply that the film in question takes place at least 9-10 months after the events of this film.
*This film marks the debut of six new pixies: Lyria, Viola, Fairy Gary, Flint, Bolt, and Stone.
**Of these characters, only four out of six our of the new characters are Sparrowmen, which all are also Dust-Talents.
*After the end credits and both the 2004-2010 DisneyToon Studios and 2006-2011 Walt Disney Pictures closing logos, there is a brief promotional teaser to the sequel Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue which was then coming soon in 2010, hence marking the only film of the Tinker Bell film series to contain a post-credits teaser.
**The teaser is not included in the Disney+ version, with the exception of the Italian-texted version available in Italy.
*The same sound effect of Tinker Bell screaming in anger is also re-used when Tinker Bell screamed in when she saw a group fireflies and a bat flying towards her.
*A few voice actors from the first movie were replaced.
**America Ferrera was replaced with Angela Bartys for the voice of Fawn.
**Minister of Autumn was voiced by Richard Portnow in the first film, but he got replaced by John DiMaggio here.
==Goofs==
*Fawn and Tinker Bell mention a toll bridge, which were not invented until the 1950s.
