From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The latest in Disney’s Tinker Bell computer-animated movies is a sprightly affair, made in eye-popping iridescent colours, full of stardust and with enough narrative verve to keep the mawkishness at bay.

Tinker Bell herself plays second fiddle here to her animal-loving friend Fawn (Ginnifer Goodwin), who befriends ancient monster the NeverBeast after removing a pin from his paw.

Back in Pixie Hollow, the rest of the fairies are convinced that the beast threatens them with death and destruction, but Fawn knows better. Pixar eminence John Lasseter was the executive producer on a film lively enough to hold the attention of even the most easily distracted kids.
