The Tooth Fairy Story Review: Cartoon Adventure with a Sprinkling of Family-Friendly Tween Love Story

Throughout this animated adventure aimed at tweens, the world of fairies focuses on collecting teeth from sleeping children and leaving treasure beneath where they sleep. Skateboarding youthful nonconformist fairy Van (voiced by Booboo Stewart) shows little enthusiasm about spending his future to collecting baby teeth—a sentiment that’s completely understandable. He is just slightly more curious about the financial workings of the situation: the fairies hand over the molars to mysterious goblins, who supply gold in exchange. But Van’s curiosity is piqued when he spots a goblin (voiced by Larkin Bell), who proves to be not at all the ugly creature he had imagined.

A Forbidden Bond and Common Enemy

Everything is prepared for an adventure with a light sprinkling of teen romance (though it’s very much suitable for children). The goblin and fairy groups are estranged from each other, and there’s nothing like the thrill of the forbidden to unite beings together. The two species as seen here are incredibly similar, yet both maintain prejudiced beliefs about the opposite side. The fairies are supposed to be entitled sorts, prone to taking anything they want, while the goblins are reportedly stupid, foul-smelling, and backward, but are actually intelligent and technologically advanced.

Of course, such a setup needs a shared foe to unite against, and this is duly provided by some nasty spiders, with voices by Jon Lovitz and Fran Drescher. There’s no beating about the bush with these guys: they want to eat the goblins and fairies, and they serve as fairly bloodthirsty, though not particularly skilled, villains.

Target Audience and Final Thoughts

You won’t find all that many children’s animations targeting the viewer group that is beginning to have early romances, but aren’t yet mature enough for the content 14-year-olds view these days in lieu of Twilight. Should your youngster is in the right age bracket, it probably won’t to become their new favorite movie, but it’s a decent choice.

The Tooth Fairy Story releases in Scottish cinemas starting October 10 and the rest of the UK beginning October 24.
