Tinker Bell and the Legend of the NeverBeast

Tinker Bell and the Legend of the NeverBeast is a 2014 American computer-animated fantasy film directed by Steve Loter. and the sixth and final installment in the Disneytoon Studios Tinker Bell film spin-off series of the 1953 Disney animated feature, Peter Pan based on the character of Tinker Bell.

Plot
When Fawn finds an unfamiliar and mysterious creature in the woods, she tries to both help and protect it from fairies that could see it as a potential threat.

Good Qualities

 * 1) While the idea of a film series centered around Tinker Bell may sound lame or silly, as a matter of fact, most of the films in said series aren't that bad. And this movie was no exception, as it was arguably the best installment in this already decent series.
 * 2) Crisp CGI animation that's a HUGE step-up above the generally cheap-looking animation that's common when it comes to direct-to-DTV Disney sequels. As a result of the amazing animation, the noticeable textures for objects in the film, the subtle but impactful and telling facial expressions and body language of the characters, and the strikingly vivid and vibrant color palette pop out a lot more.
 * 3) The story, in spite of how simple it is (Fawn trying to help a dangerous creature and protect it from fairies that may pursue it) still manages to be one full of heart due to the overall sweet and endearing tone that the Tinker Bell movies all share.
 * 4) * It also manages to be a shockingly deep one in spite of the fact that it's a girly spin-off series of Tinker Bell of all people suggesting otherwise. As even when Fawn actually realizes the beast's potential to destroy her and the other fairies, she still doesn't give up on her goal to save him from the Fairy Scouts by trying to find a compromise to deal with the problem.
 * 5) All of the characters in this movie are very likable and have distinct personalities based on their powers.
 * 6) * Tinker Bell is notably a much more pleasant and well-written character in these movies than she is in the original Peter Pan movie. As she isn't a jealous prick who tries to kill other people out of jealousy. Here, she's a much more compassionate and considerate person.
 * 7) * Silvermist is a kind-hearted and sympathetic ditz who's personality tends to shift towards the eccentric and rather silly side. She's also a great comic relief for this film, as well as the other Tinker Bell films.
 * 8) * Iridessa is the perfectionist of the group who dislikes unruly behavior or her plans going wrong. She's also very determined and straight-forward when she sets her mind to something.
 * 9) * Rosetta is the girliest of the fairies, being the one who's has an obsession with beauty and style, as well as disliking unsanitary things like mud.
 * 10) * Fawn, the main protagonist of this film, is the tomboy of the group with a deep love of animals. As shown here when she goes out of her way to protect a mysterious beast (the titular Neverbeast) she finds in the woods from Nyx and the other fairy scouts.
 * 11) Great voice acting from Ginnifer Goodwin as Fawn, Mae Whitman as Tinker Bell, Pamela Adlon as Vidia, Lucy Liu as Silvermist, Megan Hilty as Rosetta, Raven-Symoné as Iridessa, Anjelica Huston as Queen Clarion, and Rosario Dawson as Nyx among others.
 * 12) Amazing soundtrack alters between having a serene or epic and exciting tone depending on which scene they're being played in the middle of.
 * 13) Beautiful backgrounds for every scene. Having the movie being seen through the perspective of miniature people (similar to Arrietty), the backgrounds generally consist of enlarged versions of places like fields or the inside of trees. And they all perfectly capture and encapsulate the feel that the movie is striving for.
 * 14) Overall, this film was a great way to end the Tinker Bell spin-off series, as well as the era of direct-to-DTV Disney sequels along with Disneytoon Studios' film catalogue in general. As this was the final feature film to be produced by Disneytoon Studios three years before its closure on June 28, 2018, effectively making it the last of the Direct to video Disney sequels after a 21 year long run.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Nyx and the Fairy Scouts' redemptions were pretty rushed and forced.
 * 2) Terence, Clank, and Bobble aren't present here with no explanation as to why.
 * 3) Slightly Misleading Title: Tinker Bell is not the main focus this time considering she doesn't have the same amount of screen time as in the previous films, but Fawn is.
