Anyone hear of the release date or any more info on it?
We saw a preview for it on my DD's Cinderella 3 Dvd.

This was all I could find on it on the web (From another disney message board)

"Disney opened Licensing International 2006 in New York by revealing Brittany Murphy as the voice of the sassy and spunky fairy for the 2007 release of Tinker Bell. 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.

"I've had the good fortune of playing many interesting characters, but none as magical as Tinker Bell," said Ms. Murphy. "To give Tinker Bell a voice for the first time in history is such an honor."

Tinker Bell will be the first time audiences hear Tinker Bell speak, as the movie brings to life the amazing world of Disney Fairies in all-new CG-animation. The movie, to release globally in Fall 2007 by DisneyToon Studios and Walt Disney Home Entertainment, will be supported with a strong marketing campaign and a broad consumer products line at major retailers around the world.

"Tinker Bell is such an indelible character to pop-culture even without a voice," said ________ Cook, chairman of Walt Disney Studios. "She is sassy, feisty and independent. Brittany's distinctive voice and superb talent will bring all these qualities to life, as well as show new sides to Tink's personality. Audiences will get to know Tinker Bell like never before, and I am sure will fall in love with her all over again."

Disney Fairies' Heritage Rooted in Storytelling
Disney Fairies launched in September 2005 with the worldwide launch of Disney Publishing's "Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg" novel, which spent 20 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. Over one million books were released in 33 languages and in 51 countries.

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. In 2006, Disney Consumer Products (DCP) is supporting the franchise with a series of best-selling chapter books; small dolls and role-play items; a Disney Fairies magazine launch in Europe; and a multi-category product launch scheduled for Spring 2007."

Tinker Bell (film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)


"Tinker Bell is a planned direct-to-video Disney animated film based on the Disney Fairies franchise, that was originally scheduled for release around August 21, 2007. The movie was delayed for a year after John Lasseter, creative head of Walt Disney Feature Animation made several comments and complained that the film was "virtually unwatchable" [1] and that it would hurt both Walt Disney Feature Animation as well as the Disney Consumer Products line it was meant to support. [2] It has been reported that the complications surrounding this movie are the reasons that Disney will no longer produce straight-to-DVD sequels.

The film revolves around the titular character Tinker Bell, a fairy character originated from the 1953 Disney animated film, Peter Pan. Although the character had never spoken anything before (save for an audio tour of Disneyland created around the time the park was opened), actress/singer Brittany Murphy will provide the voice for the fairy "

According to my sources, some of the head execs watched a rough cut of the film and they scrapped it, citing it was horrible. Doesn't mean they're not trying again, but I'm sure it's been delayed, especially now that it's official that Disney no longer will make ANY direct to DVD sequels for it's animated masterpieces. Finally, Walt can stop turning over in his grave.

Can I just say that I hope that the new Tink looks like a true Disney Tink and not one of these silly stylized "updated" Tinks that I see around sometimes. I AM CHOOSY ABOUT MY TINK!!!
Please let her look right!!!

Thanks Rowdy for letting us know. I am happy about the direct to DVD movies.
I hope it gets worked out, my DD was looking forward to this. She read all the books and was getting to know the characters.
