Because Disney can’t seem to create enough original characters these days (they’d apparently rather leave that to the folks at Pixar), they’re once again trotting back to the Disney Vault and recycling a pre-existing one: Tinkerbell. They’re going to make a straight-to-video Tinkerbell movie, and, for the first time in Disney’s history, they’re going to give our girl Tink a voice…and it belongs to Brittany Murphy.
I gotta tell you, Tinkerbell’s reputation really went downhill when Disney merchandised her to places like Hot Topic, who’ve put her on hot pants and lace tops. It’s, like, “Hey, kids, Tink’s a slut now! Wait ’til you see what we’re doing with our revamp of Snow White; let’s just say you’ll be pretty sure she ought not to be wearing white anymore! Wink, wink, nudge, nudge…!”
