Disney, clearly looking to repeat the ‘success’ it’s had with plans to revamp Winnie the Pooh, has decided to develop a CGI film based around Peter Pan‘s Tinkerbell. Set in ‘Pixie Hollow’, we’ll get to meet all of Tink’s friends and fellow ‘pixies’ (I thought Tinkerbell was a fairy, not a pixie…).
They’ve got Brittany Murphy to do the voice. “To give Tinker Bell a voice for the first time in history is such an honor,” she says in a statement.
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
