Story

Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure is an animated fairy story about the adventures of Tinker Bell, who lives in pixie hollow. Tinker Bell (voice of Mai Whitman) is a tinker fairy. She makes, invents and fixes gadgets. Because she can be impatient, some of these gadgets have a habit of going wrong. Her impatience also means that she has a very quick temper.

One day she is given a very special task. She must make a sceptre that will hold a moonstone at just the right angle. When the moon next rises, it will shine through the moonstone. This will produce special blue pixie dust and keep the fairly tree alive for the next seven years. Tinker Bell feels very honoured because the other fairies know she is impatient and might not complete the task properly.

She has only a month to complete this task, and her friend Terence (Jesse McCartney) offers to help her. As time goes on, Tinker Bell becomes very impatient with him because he is always cleaning up after her and giving her advice on how to make the sceptre just right. They have a fight, and the moonstone gets broken.

Tinker Bell must journey to the island of the lost treasure where stolen treasure is buried. Here she can find the magic mirror and make a wish to get a new moonstone. Along the way, she learns the value of patience and friendship.
