Reese Witherspoon Will Be a Live-Action Tinkerbell for Disney
 |
So I guess since Peter Pan is getting remade by about a dozen other different people, Disney’s going to the Maleficent well for Tinkerbell, which promises “‘the story you don’t know’ and will offer a new perspective on the character.”
As any hardcore fan of Disney’s Tinkerbell (or her husband who got forcibly taken to see a Tinkerbell movie at the El Capitan) would know, however, Tink’s background has been established in Disney canon already, with all the animated movies set in Pixie Hollow. I don’t need to see her get abused in live-action like Maleficent to explain why she never talks in Peter Pan.
Given that Witherspoon’s older than we usually see Tink, maybe this will be a sequel to all that stuff. At the very least, this gives every film critic alive the chance to use “Stinkerbell” puns.
