ð Share this article A Tooth Fairy Tale Film Analysis: Cartoon Journey with a Touch of Kid-Appropriate Tween Love Story In this animated adventure aimed at tweens, the fairy community focuses on collecting baby teeth of sleeping youngsters and placing treasure beneath where they sleep. Skateboarding teenage rebel fairy Van (voiced by Booboo Stewart) is less than thrilled about spending his future to collecting baby teethâa feeling thatâs entirely reasonable. He is just slightly more interested in the financial workings behind it all: the fairies deliver the teeth to mysterious goblins, who provide metal in exchange. But Vanâs curiosity grows when he spots a goblin (played by Larkin Bell), who proves to be far from the ugly gnome he expected. A Forbidden Bond and Common Enemy The stage is set for an exciting quest with a gentle touch of teen romance (though itâs very much suitable for younger kids). The goblin and fairy communities are estranged from one another, and nothing fuels the excitement of secrecy to unite beings together. Both groups portrayed in the film are remarkably alike, yet each holds biased views about the other. The fairies are said to be self-centered types, prone to stealing whatever they fancy, while the goblins are reportedly dim-witted, foul-smelling, and primitive, but are in fact bright and technologically advanced. Naturally, such a setup needs a shared foe to unite against, and this is duly provided by some nasty spiders, voiced by Jon Lovitz and Fran Drescher. They make no secret about their intentions: they want to eat the goblins and fairies, and they make for fairly bloodthirsty, if not especially competent, villains. Ideal Viewers and Overall Impression There arenât very many animated films targeting the kind of audience that is beginning to have early romances, but arenât yet old enough for whatever teenagers are watching instead of Twilight. Should your youngster is in the right age bracket, it probably wonât to become their new all-time fave, but itâs a decent choice. A Tooth Fairy Tale releases in Scottish cinemas starting October 10 and across the United Kingdom from 24 October.
