Disney Fairies

Disney Fairies is a Disney franchise launched in 2005. The line began with the publication of the book  Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg , a novel written by Gail Carson Levine, the author of Ella Enchanted and illustrated by David Christiana. A chapter book series has also been released with four computer-generated direct-to-DVD films in development, the first one to be titled Tinker Bell. Additionally, there are toys, clothing and accessories withing this licensing of the franchise

The franchise centers on Tinker Bell, the expressive pixie from Peter Pan and its' sequel, Return to Never Land. In both prior Disney films, Tinker Bell communicated through pantomime and ringing bells, often translated by Peter. The film marks the first time Disney's version of Tinker Bell has a voice actress, Mae Whitman, who provides Tink’s voice when the film was released to both DVD and Blu-Ray on October 28, 2008. Ms. Whitman replaced the deceased Brittney Murphy, as there were scheduling conflicts between her and Disney Animation chairman John Lasseter.
