We received the Monarch Butterfly Collection tutu and wings to try out and the packaging was well thought out. Inside the box the wings were separately wrapped inside their own bag so that they would not snag on anything. Then they were placed in a larger bag with the tutu. As soon as I opened the package and showed my daughters they wanted to try on the lovely costume.

The tutu and wings are perfect from the back.

The Monarch Butterfly Collection Tutu is a lovely bright orange tulle skirt with a black bow, orange butterfly, black pom pom, and orange polka dotted black ribbon embellishments. The skirt has an elastic waist so it fits both my daughters well. My daughters both had fun twirling in it.

The Monarch Butterfly Collection Wings are the black and orange color of the Monarchs' and bejeweled with orange jewels and glitter. On closer inspection the black sparkly paint on the wings was a bit smudged on the left wing and some was where it wasn't supposed to be when you see them from the front. We had to adjust the bands that go around the girls' arms so that the wings would stay in place and fit better. My daughters were happy enough with these new wings though. With them their imagination took flight.

From the front you can see the black paint on the left wing.

You can get the whole Monarch Butterfly look with Just Pretend Kids. They have Monarch Butterfly Collection Boppy, Monarch Butterfly Collection Wand, Monarch Butterfly Wand, Monarch Butterfly Collection Tights, Monarch Butterfly Legwarmers, Monarch Butterfly Headpiece, Monarch Butterfly Collection Bodysuit, Monarch Butterfly Alex Bodysuit, Monarch Butterfly Ruffled Tutu, Monarch Butterfly Collection Tutu, and Monarch Butterfly Collection Wings.

Disney Secret of the Wings Advance Screening Review

I was recently invited to go to an advance screening of the Disney Fairies movie called Secret of the Wings on October 13th in Portland, Oregon at the Regal Bridgeport . I could take 3 guests so my husband and my two daughters went with me. I really hadn't heard much about this new Tinker Bell movie because I kind of live a sheltered life with no TV, but I knew that my daughters would enjoy it a whole lot because they have seen Disney's Peter Pan and love that movie.

This was also sort of an early birthday present for my youngest. Zari will be 2 on October 19th. I dressed my daughters up in fairy wings for the event :) They wanted to pose for some pictures before we left for the theater and then we were off in our van.

We got to the theater and Radio Disney was out front having some contests and fun activities for the kids. We received a free Secret of the Wings movie poster and some other things from Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport, KidFest, Finding Nemo 3D, Cinderella, etc. from them before the movie. It was great to see everyone having fun dancing and participating.

The movie was so adorable and had a great moral. Teela and Zari were loving every moment of it. My husband is an animation buff and said they did a very good job on the computer generated animation. I agreed. We all thoroughly enjoyed the storyline and I was so into it that the last part made me cry a little. I also loved the music and am thinking about purchasing the soundtrack now. We thought the fairy worlds were spectacularly done with gorgeous animation. We were very impressed. I also loved the shorts Disney put on YouTube before the movie. So cute and funny!

Here is the synopsis from the Disney Fairies website:
Journey with Tinker Bell and her fairy friends into the forbidden world of the Mysterious Winter Woods, where curiosity and adventure leads Tink to an amazing discovery and reveals a magical secret that could change her world forever. Flitterrific Fairies DVD/Blu-Ray Double Pack available Oct. 23rd.

Here is the Teaser Trailer to the movie:
