Sieve through the fairy dust and there are some surprisingly hefty themes at play in Disney’s latest Tinker ’tooner.
The story centres on Peter Pan’s titular fairy friend, who frostbites her wings by venturing into the forbidden Winter Wood, (meeting characters voiced by Timothy Dalton, Anjelica Huston and Lucy Liu along the way).
The set-up gives the filmmakers rein to comment on everything from global warming to cultural injustice. Lest it get too preachy, cute characterisations and kaleidoscopic visuals help the medicine go down.
