The Evolution of Tinker Bell
October 13, 2009 |By: Angie ArgabriteComments (721) PRINT EMAIL MORE Besides being played by Julia Roberts in 1991's live-action 'Hook,' Tinker Bell has best been known as Peter Pan's mischievous little friend. But before she made her 1953 big-screen debut in the classic animated film, the impish pixie went through dozens of incarnations in the animation studios at Disney.

Last year Tink graduated to leading lady in her own movie, the 2008 self-titled DVD release 'Tinker Bell.' Now, with the upcoming DVD and Blu-ray release of 'Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure' (Oct. 27), Tink is finally getting a full-scale makeover. Her evolution has been top of mind for at least one very high-profile Disney exec for some time. Pixar co-creator John Lasseter told USA Today, "She's my absolute favorite character of all the Disney characters. She is so cute with her spunk and personality. The fact that Walt Disney used her to open his TV show proved how important she was to the company."

She may not be a full-fledged Disney princess, but Tinker Bell is a star in her own right, and her tomboyish update is a sign of the times. Not only does she embody modern-day girl power, but her new outfit is green -- literally and figuratively. You can't get any more eco-conscious than wearing garb created from leaves, right?

2 thumbs down! she looks like robin hood in drag.

She should hook up with Link from The Legend of Zelda.

Looks like poor artistry to me. Her calves are bigger than her thighs, and she has no knees. Her waist is abnormaly small, while her arms are short. Her head is too big with a massive forehead. I would have liked to see a prettier face. She has no jaw, and it looks like she's smirking.

Courtnee · 10-18-2009, 06:22 PM

I dig it. She looks the same, except for her outfit.

It was airbrushed by Ralph Lauren.

It looks like they are trying to de-feminize her. Which doesn't surprise me. But I don't like it one bit. Gender-neutral bs.

Like Courtnee, I, too, think she looks the same other than the outfit.
