i enjoyed the movie regardless. all in all i like that tink got to interact with others. the one where she was shoving wendy's hand with the needle is adorably funny to me.

I just skimmed over the movie and there's not a lot of Tinkerbell scenes.

The handheld from the trailer is a bit longer and really well done (love the way she lands on Wendy's hand). There's also a cute scene of her next to miniature toy soldiers, she gets angry about Wendy's comment on her size, and knocks one of the toy soldier down:



There's also a short perspective shot when Wendy picks up an object near Tink, she steps back as the giant hand startles her:



These look better in motion (should make some GIFs later), but the whole movie is so ridiculously dark I can't enjoy it... upped the exposure on those screenshots. The vignetting is so strong I thought my TV was having problems!

Traditionally she was a spot light on a wall in a theater. She has only been a blonde humanoid in Disney tradition. Remember Julia Roberts played her in Hook as a brunette.

Thank you Bob I wasn't aware of that. But I think most people who aren't complete nerds on the subject think of her as a little (animated film) blonde.

I think most people who aren’t completely trying to be rosy on the matter realize that those complaining don’t care about her hair as much as her skin. See all the complaints about Halle Berry playing Ariel with red hair.

And yes, I will take “complete nerd” as a compliment.

two recently new trailers and footages have been released in the movie around last week and 2 days ago.

Ah, beat me to it! "I don't think that's a bug!"... nice grab and handheld scenes, I hope there's more.

Lol! I was about to make an edit and absolve myself of suggesting you're a "complete" nerd, and that nerd is in no way a derogatory term. But seeing as you're happy with it, it doesn't matter.

As for the other thing, I'm not suggesting some might not think that way, but I prefer to be fair and not make assumptions of people's motives. Text can be a dangerous tool and can often be misinterpreted (or misunderstood).

I will always and forever accept a Little Sally edit! They are precious as gold and just as rare!

I used to appreciate the mindset of giving people the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps I’m jaded living in today’s America but I just can’t when it comes to race issues :/

Agreed!

I can understand some fans being disappointed at the casting of Tinker Bell, in that it breaks from tradition. She being regularly portrayed in the past as a cute little blonde. So let's not jump to the conclusion that someone is racially motivated, if they aren't happy about the change.

A much younger Yara Shahidi appeared as the little girl who plays with the shrunken Alex on the old Wizards of Waverly place shrinking episode, so it's pretty cool to have her grow up to be tiny herself.

I found a few on Bing Images by searching "Black hands", "Negro hands" or African hands". Not nearly as many poses, but they're out there like this one I made a quick collage of.........

Digressing slightly. We don't seem to have much black representation in the work of our own community. I've often tried to find good black hand stock to use in collages, but without much success. So if anyone knows a source, or is perhaps willing to provide images of their own hands, let me know by PM.

It would be nice if we could be more ethnically represented.

Plus, you don't see much SW content with Black ladies anyways, and I think that should change...

I couldn't agree more! Any volunteers out there?

Me !!!!

Personally I don't think it matters a jot about her being black, because I've always considered fairies to be a non-ethnic entity anyway. But I can understand why the choice was made because of the way the world has moved over the years, and a company like Disney has to move with the times. We should be getting used to these things by now, and recent movies (not least in the superhero genre) have also moved in that direction. The bottom line will be when we see it is, was it a good film to watch or not. Right?

What's next, Disney getting a white person to play Tiana? Christ that would be dumb. If that happens that would be a laugh.

Tiana is based on a real person and her being black is important to the story…. Fairies aren’t real nor are they even human. Just say you’re racist
