🔗 Share this article A Tooth Fairy Tale Review: Cartoon Journey with a Sprinkling of Kid-Appropriate Preteen Romance Throughout this cartoon adventure for preteens, the world of fairies is dedicated to collecting teeth from sleeping youngsters and leaving gold under their pillows. Skateboarding youthful nonconformist fairy Van (brought to life by Booboo Stewart) is less than thrilled about spending his future to gathering baby teeth—a sentiment that’s completely understandable. He’s only slightly more interested in the financial workings of the situation: the fairies deliver the teeth to unseen goblins, who provide metal as payment. But Van’s curiosity grows when he catches sight of a goblin (voiced by Larkin Bell), who proves to be not at all the ugly creature he had imagined. A Forbidden Connection and Common Enemy The stage is set for an exciting quest with a gentle touch of teen romance (even though it remains very much suitable for younger kids). The fairy and goblin groups are separated from one another, and nothing fuels the excitement of secrecy to bring people together. Both groups as seen here are remarkably alike, yet each holds biased views about the opposite side. The fairies are supposed to be entitled types, given to stealing whatever they fancy, while the goblins are allegedly stupid, foul-smelling, and primitive, but are in fact bright and advanced in technology. Naturally, this scenario needs a shared foe to join forces against, and that need is met in the form of some nasty spiders, voiced by Jon Lovitz and Fran Drescher. They make no secret with these guys: they aim to devour the fairies and goblins, and they serve as quite savage, if not particularly skilled, villains. Ideal Viewers and Final Thoughts There aren’t all that many children’s animations targeting the viewer group that is beginning to have first crushes, but aren’t yet old enough for the content 14-year-olds view these days in lieu of Twilight. Should your youngster falls into this age group, it probably won’t to become their new favorite movie, but you could do worse. The Tooth Fairy Story releases in movie theaters in Scotland starting October 10 and across the United Kingdom from 24 October.
