To coincide with the release of Disney’s “Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue,” the spirited fairy Tinker Bell was honored wit her very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Tuesday.
The exact location is at 6834 Hollywood Boulevard in front of the Disney Soda Fountain & Studio Store just next door to the El Capitan Theatre.
Tinker Bell first appeared in the pages of J.M. Barrie’s beloved classic “Peter Pan,” but she became the fairy that most people know and love when Disney animated her as the green-garbed and very attractive companion to Peter Pan in the film of the same name. She then went on to appear in “The Wonderful World of Color” hosted by Walt Disney and continues to soar nightly above the Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castle to signal the start to the fireworks extravaganza.
“Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue” follows Tinker Bell as she meets a human for the first time, and it isn’t Peter Pan.
From the press release:
Years before meeting Wendy and the Lost Boys, Tinker Bell met Lizzy, a little girl with a steadfast belief in the power of pixie dust and the magic land of fairies. During the fairies’ summer visit to the flowering meadows of England, two very different worlds unite for the first time and Tink develops a special bond with a curious child in need of a friend. As her fellow fairies launch a daring rescue, Tinker Bell takes a huge risk, putting her own safety and the future of all fairykind in jeopardy.
Voice talents include: Raven-Symoné (“That’s So Raven”), Pamela Adlon (“Californication”), Angela Bartys (“Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure”), Jeff Bennett (“Batman: The Brave and the Bold”), and Rob Paulsen (Yakko from “Animaniacs”). For more information, visit http://disney.go.com/fairies/.
