Walt Disney Pictures' 'Tinker Bell' Coming in Fall 2008 From Buena Vista Worldwide Home Entertainment

Walt Disney Pictures' all new CG-animated feature "Tinker Bell" will arrive worldwide in Fall 2008 from Disney's Buena Vista Worldwide Home Entertainment it was announced today by Bob Chapek, president of BVWHE.

"Tinker Bell," produced by DisneyToon Studios, will be the first time audiences hear Tinker Bell speak, as the movie brings to life the amazing world of Disney Fairies, The Walt Disney Company's newest franchise, in all-new CG-animation with Brittany Murphy as the voice of the spunky and sassy fairy. In the tradition of its many animated classics, Disney will bring to life an enchanting tale of Pixie Hollow and Tink's new fairy friends voiced by some of Hollywood's most talented actors.

"'Tinker Bell' represents an incredible franchise opportunity in the home entertainment category," said Chapek. "Audiences will get to know Tinker Bell like never before, and will fall in love with her all over again."

Disney Fairies builds upon the enormous popularity of Tinker Bell and introduces children to her secret, magical world and a new circle of enchanting fairy friends -- each with an incredibly diverse talent, personality and look. Disney Consumer Products introduced Disney Fairies in 2005 with the release of New York Times best-seller, "Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg," from Disney Publishing Worldwide, followed by an apparel line, toys, a global magazine launch and a series of award-wining chapter books in 2006.

"Tinker Bell has been recognized as an icon by fans of all ages for many years -- her merchandise sales to date have proven this despite the lack of new content," said Andy Mooney, chairman of Disney Consumer Products. "This new film will bring to life Tinker Bell's spectacular world and will offer incremental opportunities across the company to grow the Disney Fairies franchise significantly."

Disney Fairies represents an expanded definition of synergy at The Walt Disney Company. As part of its ongoing commitment to drive the franchise companywide, Tinker Bell will be supported with a strong marketing campaign and a broad licensed merchandise program at major retailers around the world through an expanded Disney Fairies line from Disney Consumer Products. The new line will launch into new categories such as role play, youth electronics, stationery, home decor, and personal care.

The iconic Tinker Bell character, together with the Tinker Bell film and Disney Fairies product line, will provide a multitude of new experiences for families to enjoy and treasure for many years to come.

?!?!?!Brittany Murphy?!?! As in Clueless; voice of Luanne on King of The Hill; shrill annoying little bimbo? The world HAS gone to Hell.

Also, the fact of what, people will fall in love with TinkerBell all over again? Has anyone been to the flippin' World O' Disney lately? That place is jampacked with merch with her face on it. I couldn't forget her if I tried. Grrrr. Don't ruin my memories of her cute little self and her way of speaking as bell jingles, okay?

Thanks for the heads-up ldc. I could'nt figure ouy who Brittant Murphy was. This is kinda weird,I guess as long as she does'nt have that Texas 'twang' to her voice,or that (dare I say) slutty voice of Jessica Rabbit

I could forgive all the Tinker Bell hype; I could even maybe forgive confusing a pixie with fairies. What I can't stand is that entirely too much Tink merchandise today is so far off model as to represent a new species!

Hello! If you can't do it yourself, could you try just tracing some of Marc Davis' drawings please?

I'm already hooked on Tink. A movie would be A-OK with me! More merchandise...bring it on...ouch to my pocket!

I noticed Disney's website has a creat your own fairy site associated to their Disney Fairies. Sad thing is, an adult friend of mine created a few and I'm tempted to do the same thing. *lowers head, embarassed*

Britney Murphy was also in Uptown Girls with Dakota Fanning.


I agree there are too many Tink's on merchandise that don't do her justice, just not her character at all!!

You clearly hit the target here Zazu. in late 04 & for the 50th DL quietly made poor Tink a Disney Ho. Now I'll really be forced to memorize all names of faries. Sucks when I do a stock run. :twisted:

Off topic, but the only reason the people come to the Disney parks is the power couple: Tinkerbell and Mickey, no one else!! It gets people wondering what is REALLY going on between these two, hehehe!! Sure, Mickey is seeing Minnie, but is all just for show! Do you know who Minnie is?? It is Mickey in drag, hahaha!!
