Tinker Bell was joined by voice cast Mae Whitman (Tinker Bell), Raven Symone (Iridessa) (check out Disney Society’s interview with Raven here.),  Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure director Klay Hall,  producer Sean Lurie and UN delegates as they celebrated the world premiere of Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure, which arrives on DVD & Blu-ray on October 27th.

I love this picture of Tinker Bell accepting her award. So cute!

“We’re delighted Tinker Bell has agreed to be our Honorary Ambassador of Green,” said Mr. Akasaka. “This beloved animated character can help us inspire kids and their parents to nurture nature and do what they can to take care of the environment.”

Since its earliest days, The Walt Disney Company has sought to inspire a love of nature and spirit of conservation through its storytelling, and the environment is an underlying theme of the Tinker Bell movies, told through the magical world of Fairies, Pixie Hollow, where nature is nurtured.   Tinker Bell is a natural ambassador of Green, living consistently in harmony with the environment, her appointment, as Honorary Ambassador of Green, is a great opportunity for this beloved character to play a key role in inspiring kids.

Tink has come a long way since her first incarnations by the Disney artists. Check out these preliminary sketches and concept art to see her evolution! From a wide range of looks and ideas, she became the precocious pixie pal of Peter Pan. Last year, in her first feature film, Miss Bell was re-introduced to audiences with a polished familiar look. And now, just in time for her journey out of Pixie Hollow, Tink’s got a brand new costume for her autumnal adventure!

Here is the evolution of Tinker Bell.

This Pixie Preview is in preparation for the release of Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure on DVD and Blu-ray October 27th.

In Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure Tinker Bell’s greatest adventure yet takes place in Autumn, as the fairies are on the mainland changing the colors of the leaves, tending to pumpkin patches, and helping geese fly south for the winter. The rare Blue Moon will rise, and when its light passes through the magical Fall Scepter that Tinker Bell has been summoned to create, Pixie Hollow’s supply of pixie dust will be restored. But when Tinker Bell accidentally puts all of Pixie Hollow in jeopardy, she must venture out across the sea on a secret quest to set things right.

Along her journey Tink meets new friends, including Blaze, a cute and courageous firefly that helps Tinker Bell complete her mission. It’s a long and dangerous journey, full of astonishing encounters, a few narrow escapes and a daring rescue by Tink’s friend Terence. Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure is an exciting adventure and a once-in-a-blue-moon experience for the entire family.

Walt Disney Pictures presents “Tinker Bell” on DVD and Blu-ray October 28th. It’s an all new movie where you get to enter the world of fairies in their secret world called Pixie Hollow. If you are a fan of Peter Pan, you know that Tink doesn’t say much…actually she doesn’t talk at all, but in Tinker Bell the movie, you get to hear her speak for the very first time.

“Hear Tinker Bell (Mae Whitman) speak for the very first time, and unlock the magic of nature with her fairy friends, Fawn (America Ferrera), Iridessa (Raven-Symone), Rosetta (Kristin Chenoweth), and Silvermist (Lucy Liu). The impressive voice cast also includes singer-songwriter Jesse McCartney as Terence, keeper of the pixie dust, and Academy Award® winning actress Anjelica Huston as the voice of Queen Clarion.”

Tinker Bell is the very first Disney picture in a series of films, to feature the fairies. You know what that means right? There will be more. I fell in love with this movie for the animation and the story. And as always, Disney has included some fantastic DVD extras. Here’s a list of what you will see:

• Tinker Trainer – DVD-ROM Activity
• Magical Guide to Pixie Hollow
• Ever Wonder – Discover how fairies put the “wonder” in natural wonders
• Creating Pixie Hollow
• All New Music Video – Performed by Selena Gomez
• Deleted Scenes

In 2006, Brittany Murphy was hired by Disney to do the voice of Tinker Bell in an upcoming animated movie. According to online reports, Disney has now dropped Murphy and had been replaced by 19 year old Mae Whitman.

Disney has given no explanation as to why she was replaced. Murphy’s career has stalled a bit in the past few years and she has received more press for her personal life, than any projects she has been involved in.
