The Pirate Fairy (2014 Video)
3/10
This how animated movies should not be
23 March 2014
Yes, I get it: this movie is intended for little children. Sadly it seems to be appropriate these days to underestimate children's minds really bad. One other reviewer posted "Compare it to the original Disney Peter Pan movie, and it is striking how aged and inappropriate for young children that one feels." No, it's striking how less confidence we have these times when it comes to children. They are far more observant, intelligent and bright than this movie would suggest. The old Peter Pan story surely had it's flaws but it was challenging children and their minds in a good way. This movie is the equivalent to so many sketchy and shallow-brained movies that are made for adult that do not want to think, but just be entertained with their brains shut down.

The animations are poor, but would be OK if the movie had depth. The soundtrack is really bad, consisting of sub level pop songs with no charm at all. The characters are super slim beautiful young fairies, that seem to be more obsessed with their look than anything else. Most males are ugly and stupid or at least vengeful and too proud to let the girl fairies to be more than wage slaves. The story is flat and it's clear from the beginning what will happen.

If you need to dampen then brain of your kind to prepare it for shallow talk shows and sketchy movies please go on. Otherwise please please appreciate your child more than to feed him/her this fast food movie.
