Lately our theaters have been thriving with the origin stories of famous heroes like Batman, James Bond, Spider-Man, and so on. I love it. I think someone really tapped a vein of curious people wanting to find out why these fictional characters are the way they are. And now another familiar face will fly onto the screen and into the hearts of millions on Tuesday, October 28. The world will finally know the beginnings of the one and only short-tempered fairy with an attitude, Tinker Bell.
Hopefully we all remember the blonde-haired pixie invented by J.M. Barrie for the play Peter Pan. She flew around with the pirate-fighting boy in Disney’s 1953 animated film and appeared again in the 2002 Return to Never Land. But in these examples, Tinker Bell was never a central figure. She stomped her foot a few times, nodded her head with the tinkle of a bell, but never even uttered a single world. That is, until now.
In this computer animated movie directed by Brad Raymond, Mae Whitman, of Independence Day and One Fine Day, gives Tinker Bell her voice. And many other fairies speak with the voices of Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner America Ferrera, five-time Image Award honoree Raven-Symoné, Tony Award winner Kristin Chenoweth, two-time SAG Awardee Lucy Liu, singer-songwriter Jesse McCartney, and Academy Award winning actress Anjelica Huston. The magnitude and enchantment of this film will take children and adults on a hilarious adventure as the fairies of Pixie Hallow prepare to change winter to spring.
When I first saw a preview for Tinker Bell the movie, I expected one of two things. The Pixie Hallow fairy village thing could become a cheesy girl-squad show about team effort. Or it would be an amazing, thrilling story of how Tinker Bell and Peter Pan met and where the lost boys and Never Land came from, etc. But surprisingly, it was neither.
