🔗 Share this article The Tooth Fairy Story Review: Animated Journey with a Sprinkling of Kid-Appropriate Tween Love Story Throughout this cartoon journey for preteens, the world of fairies focuses on collecting baby teeth of sleeping youngsters and leaving treasure under their pillows. Board-riding teenage rebel fairy Van (brought to life by Booboo Stewart) is less than thrilled about devoting his life to gathering baby teeth—a sentiment that’s entirely reasonable. He’s only slightly more interested in the financial workings behind it all: the fairies hand over the molars to unseen goblins, who provide metal in exchange. However, Van’s interest is piqued when he spots a goblin (played by Larkin Bell), who proves to be far from the ugly creature he expected. An Unlikely Bond and Common Enemy Everything is prepared for an adventure with a light sprinkling of young love (even though it remains very much suitable for children). The fairy and goblin groups are separated from one another, and there’s nothing like the thrill of the forbidden to unite beings as one. Both groups portrayed in the film are remarkably alike, yet both maintain biased views about the opposite side. Fairies are said to be self-centered types, given to stealing whatever they fancy, while goblins are reportedly dim-witted, foul-smelling, and primitive, but are in fact bright and technologically advanced. Naturally, such a setup needs a common enemy to unite against, and that need is met in the form of a group of vicious spiders, with voices by Jon Lovitz and Fran Drescher. They make no secret with these guys: they want to eat the fairies and goblins, and they serve as fairly bloodthirsty, if not especially competent, villains. Target Audience and Overall Impression You won’t find all that many animated films targeting the viewer group that is beginning to have first crushes, but aren’t yet old enough for the content teenagers are watching instead of popular teen sagas. Should your youngster is in the right age bracket, it probably won’t to become their new favorite movie, but you could do worse. The Tooth Fairy Story releases in Scottish cinemas starting October 10 and across the United Kingdom from 24 October.
