Pixar and Disney have given Tinker Bell a makeover. She's now wearing a jacket, leggings and knee-high boots. She still has the little white pompoms on her boots that she had on her little shoes. The new Tink first appears in Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure, an upcoming film that's going straight to DVD and blu-ray. You can find out more about the film on Amazon.com and Disney.com. The release date for Lost Treasure is October 27th.
USA Todayreports that Tinker Bell's last DVD adventure sold nearly 3.5 million copies - a very impressive figure.
It's about time, then, that Tinker Bell dropped that skimpy leaf-hemmed frock and stepped into something more comfortable - and practical. After all, these days she's more than simply a flying Disney mascot who waves a wand and leaves a trail of golden dust. The once-silent sidekick is a star in her own right with a series of straight-to-DVD computer-animated adventures that began with last year's Tinker Bell, an original story that sold nearly 3.5 million copies.
For Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure, due Oct. 27 ($30; Blu-ray, $40), the studio's feisty fairy first seen in 1953's Peter Pan finally receives a makeover for her journey away from the magical land of Pixie Hollow.
Pixar co-founder John Lasseter told USA Today that the reason for the costume change is that the Lost Treasure film is set in autumn and they wanted Tinker Bell's costume to reflect the cooler temperatures.
