DISNEY'S FIRST TRAILER FOR
'TINKER BELL AND THE LEGEND OF THE NEVERBEAST'
Disney has also released the first trailer for their upcoming animated adventure TINKER BELL AND THE LEGEND OF THE NEVERBEAST! Coming out next March in the form of DVD, it will follow Nyx, a Scout Fairy charged with protecting the luscious land of Pixie Hollow and all of the fairies who reside there. A true professional who takes her job very seriously-maybe a little too seriously allowing facts and logic to guide her every move. Driven to succeed, Nyx is often willing to let compassion take a back seat. The Scout Fairies are a group of fearless fairies who protect the residents of Pixie Hollow. They are agile and athletic with a keen ability to spot trouble before it gets out of control. With the voices from Lucy Liu, Anjelica Huston, Ginnifer Goodwin, Rosario Dawson, this heartwarming story explores the ancient myth of a mysterious creature whose distant roar sparks the curiosity of Tinker Bell's friend Fawn, an animal fairy who's not afraid to break the rules to rescue the NeverBeast before time runs out.
TINKER BELL always a pleasure to see this Disney movies .
ReplyDeleteCheers
kids really love them and they always have such beautiful visuals, don't they?
DeleteI'm shocked they managed to keep Strange Magic under wraps for so long, but I guess Star Wars is one heck of a distraction!
ReplyDeleteapparently it was in the works when Disney bought the studio, but they kept it a secret. He wrote the story but isn't directing this one. I just wonder how it will work with only a two months marketing
DeleteNot to mention the dialogues... which are not exactly George's strong suit.
Deletedoes he even have a strong suit?
DeleteHi Dezzy. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat weekend, it's the middle of the week :)
DeleteI don't know about that Tinker Bell movie. That creature's eyes are freaking me out!
ReplyDeletekids seem to adore her
Deletea lot of women do too
Deleteit's true
DeleteAnd me. Oh hi, Dezz!
DeleteHi!
DeleteGoing direct to DVD is never a sign of a quality production.
ReplyDeleteNo, no, those Tinker Bell movies are always done for DVD and Blue Ray

DeleteStrange Magic looks delightful. I'm already in love with those creatures' faces. And based on A Midsummer Night's Dream, too! :)
ReplyDeleteHope they will have a rich world building in that one which we shall see soon, since I expect the trailer to be right around the corner
DeleteOoh - all animal day! Gosh I just watched a TinkerBell flick last night. Sorry - growing up on all levels is not a requirement at my home.
ReplyDeleteGot to see Strange Magic. Oh what the heck - bring on the attacking animals too.
Those Tinker Bell movies are so rich in delightful colours and visuals. And who wouldn't like to have Fairy wings :)
