Tue 1/23/2007 3:32p | Not sure if this is the right section, but it has to do with the Tinkerbell Movie and the Disney Fairies..
Ok so Disney has been releasing all the Disney Fairies books, and the toys to start up the franchise for the Tinkerbell movie. Then just within the past week, they updated the Disney Fairies site with stuff from the movie. What makes no sense at all is that all the main fairies in the Tinkerbell movie are not the fairies, from the books and toys they have at the disney store and everywhere else. The fairies in the movie had been mentioned in the books before, but what doesnt make sense is that why would they go through all that trouble of making the books and toys if they arent even gonna be in the movie. Anyone else think this is a little weird? |

Thu 2/1/2007 3:07p | Here's what's weird AND amusing: Tinker Bell isn't a fairy. She's a pixie.
But hey, why let that get in the way of a marketing juggernaut? |

Thu 2/1/2007 5:19p | I agree, John calls her a pixie in the movie. But in the original play, she is called a fairy at least some of the time.
Maybe pixie & fairy are the same thing in this world.

Sun 2/18/2007 12:28a | I do have to disagree with you. According to Pierre Dubois' Great Encyclopedia Of Faeries she is a Pillywiggin.
Pixies are wingless, look like brownies, and can often take the form of a Hedgehog.

Pillywiggin (mainly scottish) are decended from Elves, developed wings and such from inter-marrying dragonflies and butterflies.

Tue 3/20/2007 1:47p | I've just now seen my second TB movie preview. While the storyline looks typical pre-teen in appeal, the animation, I think, looks like the best CGI stuff to date. They seem fully moving and without CGI stiffness, and the visual design seems unique and not Play Dough.
What are other people thinking? |

I'll just say I wasn't as impressed.
Please note that the previews out there currently (such as the one on the Peter Pan DVD) are for the first version of the movie -- the one John Lasseter hated. Rumor has it that everything's changed now, including the cast of fairies. |
