If you haven't figured it out by now, perhaps now would be a good time to make it crystal clear: we take our fairies very seriously around these parts.
Exhibit A:
That's the original fairy garden, which has been joined by many more. In fact, there are at this very moment no less than six fairy houses in varying stages of magical fairieness. Alexis is OBSESSED. I'm absolutely 100% OK with that.
So, obviously, when we were given a chance to preview the new Tinkerbell movie, Secret of the Wings, I was all aboard the fairy train. Again. Toot toot!
The direct-to-video movie is the latest in the Disney Fairies franchise. It's coming out on Blu-ray and DVD October 23rd, but we got to watch it WAY early. The basic premise is that Tinker Bell wanders a bit too far from home and finds that her wings are sparkling like crazy. She can't handle not knowing why, so she goes on an adventure to the Winter Woods and eventually ends up discovering that she has a sister, Periwinkle. Periwinkle and Tinker Bell were apparently born of the same baby's laughter, but I think "Periwinkle" is named as a "wink" to what really happened.
Ahem.
Grown-ups will know what I'm talking about if they watch the movie. That's all I'm saying.
Alexis, of course, watched the movie completely enthralled with the new characters (who are gorgeous, by the way), the new scenery, and the new storyline. She fell in love with Periwinkle and quickly started brainstorming ways we can winterize our fairy gardens for the winter fairies who are surely preparing to move into our gardens. The first order of business is that I need to figure out how to make two matching winter coats and "pom pom boots" for the fairies. Alexis may not have a sister, but I guarantee if she did, she would insist on wearing matching clothes. She wants to live that fantasy through the magic of the fairy gardens.
I decided to ask Alexis a few questions about Secret of the Wings right after she finished watching it for the first time. Here’s what she had to say:
That's a thumbs up, just in case you were distracted by the ending and forgot what else she said.
If you would like a chance to win a "Flitterific Farries Blu-Ray™ Double Pack" (it's a Blue-Ray/DVD Combo), please leave a comment below telling me what you enjoy sharing with your sister if you have one, or what you would share with a sister if you don't. Alexis would absolutely vote for matching clothes. I'm so not kidding.
