- Did Disney just boot Tinker Bell from Walt Disney World over politics and "wokeness?" There's an article going around claiming that they did, but is it really true? Well, let's talk about that...

It's not Tinkerbell that is problematic. It's Disney itself.
Disney is a toxic word
If she wasn’t Caucasian, she would be classified as an inspiration to little girls instead of being cancelled.
They made more fairies of different ethnicities on top of everything, too. So kids could find someone to connect with. If Disney does take Tinkerbell and the fairies away, they'll lose ALOT more money. The left is poiosn at this point.
If she wasn't straight also
ofc
Despite her still being a jerk to Wendy.
@@chocov1233a good jerk
Attractive? White? Blonde? Straight?
The only way she could be worse for the Disney image was if she was a stay at home mom that loved her husband.
The real question is, would you be surprised at all if they actually called her problematic?
When I saw the title of this video pop up, I immediately thought "it's because she's a white blonde, isn't it?" Honestly, it's not funny anymore. It's sad.
The only way it could be worse would be if she were a DUDE, on top of all those other stupid reasons! lol
I already know the titles: Tinker Black, Tinker Brown etc.
Well they are attacking that whole concept. They won’t stop this bs until the world is actually on fire. Its their only reason to get up in the morning.
And thicc
This discriminates against fairies.
Even guys like Tinkle from the Zelda games who call themselves "fairies".
Or Airborne troops.
(Fairies that won't stop reminding everyone they have wings and you don't)
Exactly!
Plenty of 'fairies' employed at Disney. They've got a quota to fill.

Tinker Bell was never problematic.
@oriongear2499 Not at all and wasn’t like that. Why would the house of mouse dump their beloved fairy? Have they lost their senses?
Iger wants to slowly get rid for her because she's beautiful and sexy and yet I guarantee they're going to replace her actress with a trans because of DEI.
Disney is deeply problematic.
True. Just like Uncle Remus
Those who banned her are
Disney is banned for being problematic.
well said
The company definitely needs to be boycotted.

Straight, white, and attractive. That's 3 strikes, she's out!
Straight? She's dating outside her own species

Walt would be HIDEOUSLY disappointed, if he were alive today
If he were alive to day, there is a long list of current Disney management that would have been fired years ago.
What frightens me is they’re gonna remove all of the classic iconic characters and try to replace them with their cheap so this live action counterparts. sorry, that’s supposed to say Solis counterparts.
Problematic is my most hated word more than any other word I ever hated!🤬😡😠
Yep
@@Disneyfan82 if it was used incorrectly
Let me guess, it's because she has white skin, blond hair, and blue eyes?

Oh, and don't forget because she's thin and attractive. Can't have that Male Gaze now, can we?
Disney would be really stupid to remove their 2nd most beloved mascot next to Mickey Mouse himself. Who am I kidding Disney would be that stupid.
Maybe we should make mice into a huge controversy, and then link Mickey Mouse to it. Lets see if we can get Disney to change their #1 mascot.
Would be hilarious.
Steamboat Willy is now public domain. There's your link to Mickey Mouse.
Go ahead and have at it.
So is The Mad Doctor short for decades. Besides it's only the version of the characters that were originally created that fell into the public domain not say the 1939-40 version of him yet.
Mickey is next
I thought that was Donald Duck.
UNIVERSAL is laughing right now.
"Don't correct the enemy, when they making a mistake"
Come 2025 when Epic Universe finally opens, Universal’s gonna be laughing all the way to the bank while Disney keeps perpetually shitting the bed.
I just want Disney to bankrupt already, so they stop destroying childhoods.
Good lord, if Universal can build hotels fast enough, families will move over to Epic Universe in bulk.
It's Interrupt, but yeah
UNIVERSAL: "Hold my beer!" 🍺 😂
Tinkerbell is a fairy who has friends of all kinds and is always willing to help. Did they not see any of her movies? It’s insane.
Well there you have it -- she has friends, and she's always willing to help. No wonder the Disney nihilists hate her.
I actually love her movies
@@zxyatiywariii8 They are only doing what is best for themselves not the customers. Why are they allowed to get away with this?
@minakoarisato1506
Me too. They were cute.
@@foxboy6145 We need to start a rebellion and force those assholes out once and for all.
Disney just needs to shut down and go away.
Honestly, if they announced tomorrow that the company is a total loss and they had to break it up, I don't think I'd care at all, even in a mild nostalgic kind of way. Disney is nothing special anymore, they're like the Walmart of entertainment now.
@@CinnamonGrrlErin1At least if I go to Walmart for a box of waffles, I get a box of waffles. They don’t try to lecture me on why I’m problematic for liking them.
@@CinnamonGrrlErin1Agreed.
Just who the hell are they to decide what is best for fans and the children?
Dreamworkd, Warner Bros. And Illimination is EVERYTHING we need.
I'm betting it's cause Tinkerbell is too appealing to *THE* *MALE* *GAZE* ™
The story I head was it was because she was too body concious about her appeal to Peter. Not sure if it's true (see this video) but they were going with that angle.
this. They couldn't figure out how to 'DEI' her
And what’s ironic is that little girls everywhere LOVE Tinker Bell.
She was thirsty for Peter in Hook.
Tinkerbell is problematic because she’s in love with Peter, jealous of Wendy and takes care of her image, so of course !!!! Women could never try to eliminate other women for love, noooooo! It’s so weak so be in love and it’s so toxic to take care of ourselves! Women don’t need that because they are all beautiful and should care only about being powerful and wishing to overthrown men. (Message by a woman who is sick of Disney fake feminism)
Feminine and beautiful fairy, everything Disney hates since it's not enough of a toxic personality, ugly, or "realistic".
People nowadays love to talk like attractive feminime women with very hot and sexy bodys dont exist in real life but during the summer you see plenty of them outside and its not like the attractive women that you used to see in old media and the attractive women in the sex industry are all fake.
I don't know, she was pretty damn toxic in the Peter Pan movie, what with her trying to get Wendy killed because Peter showed interest in her.
You know she tried to kill Wendy in Peter Pan 😳
@@critica77y77 Which is in line with her being a fairy, they get nasty when jealous.

I don't know how many more times I can roll my eyes over Disney's stupidty without doing permanent damage.

Well it makes sense for DND! At least you don’t need a dice to roll when you have your eyes!
They’re shaming women so hard with this lmao
I don't acknowledge the term "problematic".

They can't have a woman who says she loves Peter.
so, little elven boys can't get any lovin' anymore?
Disney's plan is to replace her with a diverse Twinkerbell.
Didn’t they do that already in the live action?
trying to convince us that 16% is really 70% demographics.
That "Diverse Twinkerbell" is actually NOT Tinker Bell, that's her friend Iridessa stealing Tink's identity 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Same as they did with The Little Mermaid
@MasticinaAkicta That "Diverse Ariel" is actually NOT Ariel, that's an imposter stealing Ariel's identity 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Even children and the criminally insane can clearly tell the difference between 1989 Ariel and the 2023 blackwashed knock-off 😅😅😅😅
New day, something new to be offended by for people with no lives
They wanted her to be an alphabet but her love for Peter is too strong for her to give up her love for the boy who never grew up.
Yeah, it's hard to erase her crush on Peter.
Just label her as a "girlboss" and then suddenly it'll be ok
OG Tink is already a girlboss in her own right in the animated productions before Disney decided to "wokify" her as of recently; heck, in her self-titled movies Tink does have a career as a Tinker fairy (a.k.a. a magic mechanic) where she fixes and invents things for heaven's sake 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Meanwhile, Disney's 2023 "wokified" Tinker Bell in the Peter Pan and Wendy live-action remake, raceswapping aside, is PATHETIC; not only is this 2023 Tink so bland and boring, she is also a very depressing character, with the no glow which makes her look like she's gonna die (in the cartoon version, Tink's light going out is a sign of her actually dying) and all she does is just sprinkle pixie dust and mope around because "nobody hears her" - so much for making her "progressive" 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️

The only true "Problematics" at Disney, are those who think others than themselves are "Problematic". 0~o "Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive".
How can she ever be problematic? Doesnt make any sense.
That's the Disney way.
It’s because she doesn’t have a dong.
She is white, attractive, beloved blond character! Of course nowadays she is "problematic"
watch how she treats wendy for most of the original movie.
Anyone that thinks Tink is "problematic" need to be removed from Disney.
that's a Disrespect from a Company named after Walt Disney.
Keep digging your grave Disney
Meanwhile, Japan heavily features the entire Disney Fairies cast in a massive float on the Electrical parade that makes the American one look....weak. And on top of that, they're getting a huge Neverland-themed area that has a section for the newer Fairies characters.
Also, the lack of Peter Pan in the "Fairies" movies was apparently John Lasseter's decision. Back in the day, it sounded more like he wanted the Tinkerbell movies and Peter Pan to be their own IP without any baggage from each other. He was a minor character in Gail Carson Levine's books, and was barely mentioned. (Tinkerbell kind of viewed him almost like an ex-boyfriend in those books.)
Japan being based as usual.
Disney is problematic...abandon them 💯%
True or false, the point is how easy it is to immediately believe this kind of Disney "story" in current woke year. Almost expected.
Just another nail in the Disney coffin.
How long until the Disney coffin is made entirely of nails?
No seriously, how many coffin nails would it take to make a coffin made entirely of nails? I want hard numbers.
@@changvasejarik62 Around 600 are needed when using the minimal amount of other materials.
(Of course that's also if you're trying to make it into an iron maiden.)
They released 6 Tinker Bell animated movies by 2015. Right before they started to get woke. Very fun, wholesome family movies. It's a shame that Disney seems to be ashamed of its own creations.
I highly doubt that the kids had any problem with her. If Disney keeps this up, no one will be going to their parks.
No one should be going to their parks already.
@@edgarbm6407 People can be very stupid.
IT'S TINKIN TIME!
I met Tinkerbell at this location years ago. I stood in line for 30 minutes as a grown woman to meet her. When I got there, I asked if she would be willing to meet a grown up. She was a little nervous at first but then she saw the necklace I had which my son had made. She asked if I was a tinkerer and I told her my son was. Then she relaxed and we had a nice visit with photos. It was very magical and I am sorry for those who won't have that lovely experience.
Time for more Dismal Disney
It's problematic that people find so many things problematic.
That word gets old.
My most hated word above all words!😠😡🤬
Tinkerbell is one of my favourite disney characters. This really sucks.
Not Ariel? or Sebastian?
@@mikoxmas6122 She said, "one of"
Disney is literally condeming and destroying their own properties. Disney reminds me of the proverbial snake eating and swallowing their own tail.
I think that Disney is putting Tinkerbell on hiatus so kids will forget about her current look. After a period of time, I think they will bring her back with a new look based on her appearance in the Peter Pan & Wendy movie, and that will be her new official look from that point on.
god that trash movie... the less said the better-
Male gaze and female gaze are the same as views. Without those things, a company like a theater will go bankrupt.
A male gaze isn't even male limited, since it also covers bisexual women and lesbian women.
Wow. Just wow. 😂
“Get woke, go broke” just keeps proving true.
This is like removing Princess Peach from Mario because she's problematic
This is one of Disney’s most iconic animated characters? It’s literally on the logo of most of their films? Wtf??? lol
15:36 Merida, it's been soooooo long since seeing an Irish redhead in movies and such. At least we still have Geeky.
A jealous girl that gets punished for her selfish actions? Must hit too close to home for Disney, so better to pretend it never existed.
Speaking of which, in the original 1953 film, Tink does get punished for her jealousy towards Wendy Darling where she gets banished off Neverland by Peter Pan. But she later redeems herself when she sacrifices herself to save Peter from getting killed by Captain Hook (to be fair, this occurs in literally every other adaptation of Peter Pan, including the 2003 Universal live-action remake).
That's the part that these idiots at Disney who decided to cancel Tinker Bell missed the point 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
@@kingandrewcecil348 True! bu a lot of ppl in the comment sections saying "she's fine she was never a bad influence" actually forget she was basically EVIL until she redeemed herself. Why? Because she tried to KILL Wendy. Similarly the mermaids, who had no redemption, were definitely villains.
she clearly didn't have her pronouns in her bio and was heard to exclaim 'beep bop boop' once to Peter Pan
@finland4ever55 Good point, but Tinker Bell isn't evil - just anti-heroic. In the original Peter Pan book, it is explained that while Tink is a nice character in general, her main weakness is that she cannot control her feelings because of her small fairy size resulting her to only have one emotion at a time which tends to get exaggerated to extremes, meaning that she has the tendency to be overly-consumed by her own one emotion (and the fact that Tinker Bell has a very childish mentality doesn't help either) - for example, when she's jealous, jealousy is literally the ONLY thing she feels in her mind and therefore it consumes her.
After getting banished from Neverland by Peter, Tink even realizes this fact and she even regrets letting her jealousy consume her to do such a horrible thing. After Captain Hook captured her, trapped her in a lantern and realizes Hook's evil plan to kill Peter and capture Wendy, her brothers and the Lost Boys, this is when Tink has a change of heart and decides to set things right by sacrificing herself to save Peter.
All this I'm telling here occur in literally every other adaptation of Peter Pan in general, including the 1953 Disney animated version and the 2003 Universal live-action version.
In the Disney cartoon sequel Return To Never Land, Tink seems to have a bit better control over her jealousy than in the first movie, indicating that she did learned her lesson.
Meanwhile, the Tinker Bell films seems to have given Tink's personality far more nuance than in the Peter Pan films, including having far better control over her "one-note" emotions compared to her debut appearance.
Damn it, I was hoping Disney was going to put out Tinker Bro with a massive package pretending to be a girl just for the photos.
You mean a Latinx'r Bell?
Oh they will. Can't help themselves.
I hope he/she/they/etc. have a massive five o'clock shadow, are buff AF, and are smoking a stogie like an 80's action star.

Don't give them any ideas 😩😩😩😩
I have a friend that was a Disney actress. there's like 8 Tinkerbells actresses. She got out for mental health reasons and is just doing a quiet office cubicle gig. They got them loaded up so much on anti-depressants to make it through the day all prescribed by Disney medical staff doctors. She couldn't take it anymore. And what's worst was it was so ingrained in her that she stayed in character even when going out. Like a "How was your day?" "Oh it was flutterific.... F(!&" kinda thing.
They better not. My wife LOVES fairies (I even call her "my beautiful fairy goddess wife" every day because I love her truly) and she would go ballistic if they did...
OK, Disney. You're removing a copyright from our beloved fairy. That's good then. She is ours now.
Its a bit of a legal minefield but Disney sort of never owned any charater from Peter Pan. J. M. Barrie the author left the rights to Peter Pan to a hospital in the Uk.
@@quietinsound8087 Which is why Fox was able to fo their version of Peter Pan and the Pirates. Disney bought that up when they could. So, yes: Peter Pan is n the Public Domain.
Mae Whitman was Tinker Belle. She looked just like her
I,m surprised they have not cast a 400 pound black transgender wheelchair bound individual as tinkerbell yet . TBH .
Give them time, give them time.
watch for that enw show on TLc about overweight and out of control Disney mascots 'My 600 lb Tinkerbell'
I hear they're fighting Netflix for the rights to that story....
Thanks for checking the reactionaries Clownfish, no matter what side of the political aisle they are on.
Well, they dumped Jiminy Cricket. Why would they stop with him?
well yeah, Disney can't have voices of reason- how are ppl supposed to say no to overpriced food and merch in the parks?!
She handled the physical touch situation perfectly!!
Honestly what is not problematic in the year 2024?!
The incident is she is blonde haired blue eyes but NOT a villain.
That's a problem to disney
In Disney’s world, everything is problematic.
More like after hireing sensitvity readers, it seems like there is a lot of things that has to be changed so they can keep their jobs.
At this point, Disney should just get rid of every character created before 2015 and only allow the current year characters such as Rey, Captain Marvel, Luz, or Maya Leibowitz-Jenkins to show up in the parks.
I've never been a fan of Tinker Bell, due to the fact that she's pretty antagonistic in her original film and only is likeable in her own spin-off movies and the Return to Neverland sequel. That said, despite my criticisms for this character, I never want to see her go away, especially for how popular she has become, going as far as having her own merchandise lineup that rivals Mickey Mouse and friends, Winnie the Pooh and the Disney Princesses.
It never ceases to amaze me how the Disney board thinks she's problematic (despite having what I consider a weak resolution in her original movie) yet have no problem with a dude dressed in drag as the Evil Queen (despite most family's stance on drag shows and drag queens).
True. Original Tink wasnt just jealous like most people think. they forget she constantly tried to murder Wendy. She was a yandere. She redeemed herself but kinda got off scot free, only being called out once. And she bragged about it when Peter asked if she was guilty or not.
Spin off Tink is the best Tink. I know if the spin off didn't exist and she didn't get a (rushed, really insincere feeling) redemption, she would have been considered evil.
There was the book version of her, the original movie version, the newer movie version, and the sometimes-forgotten stage play version, which actually started humanizing her pretty early in the character's history, and left more of an impression than the book did on what people remember of her: the stage play is where the massively popular "clap if you believe" bit enters the story, for example, where Tinkerbell gives her life for Peter Pan and Peter, with the help of a little audience participation, brought her back to life: you can imagine that this bit took the darker edge off the original story by making death a temporary condition (if the audience "believes", of course!), and helped connect Tinkerbell more directly with the audience as the performers would do more to make the character likeable in spite of the weird fairy personality flaws: it was pretty easy for an unsympathetic portrayal of the character to result in the audience refusing to clap!
They don't like that she's one of their most popular characters or the fact that she has curves in all of the right places.
Shut up
Odd. I thought Disney was all about fairies, their wands, and dusting children.
Body conciousness in moderation is a good thing. There's a difference between having a voice in your head that says "You've already had a piece of cake today you don't need another." and "You've had one meal today you're fat."
Even if it isn't for woke reasons, it's still a really stupid idea. Tinkerbell is an extremely popular character among multiple generations and I would consider her a core character in Disney's overall pantheon, removing her just seems like a huge mistake.
She's in the LOGO. At the start of every Disney movie for a long time, not to mention Wonderful World of Disney.
Right: I think Geeky is right that she was "rotated out of circulation" after drawing the short-straw when they needed to make room at the theme parks for some new (and probably catastrophically misguided, knowing Disney) attraction.
But, either way, it seems kind of dumb to delete the character: it seems like an idea that would be somewhere near the speed of dropping Mickey, Minnie, Donald, or Goofy from the roster to make room for whatever the princess-of-the-week is this time....
Every time I hear the hear 'problematic' I winch. It's such a harmless word yet somehow always translates to 'completely change it or destroy it'.
dosent disney have enough problems to deal with instead of this nonsenses
You would think......but it's Disney after all.
This pisses me off. Tinker Bell is my character!!! Some girls relate to certain Princesses, but Tinker Bell has always been who I wanted to be.
Bruh wtf why tinkerbell 😂 disney just keeps getting worse
I read the article, and there was "an incident". Sure, the headline was clickbaity, because it led the reader to assume the incident specifically involved Tinker Bell, which it didn't, but they do explain in the article what happened. The "controversial incident" that preceded her removal was the editing of a scene in a promotional video for the Peter Pan's Flight ride, because some "sensitivity experts" said there were issues with representation. That said, removal of Tink's meet-and-greet and the editing of the scenes were not directly linked at all. Basically it was a nothing burrito, and there is no actual explanation for why her meet-and-greet was removed, and there was no incident involving Tinker Bell, specifically.
The Fairy line was an attempt to 'graduate' girls from the Princess line as they got older and you can tell by the tone and merch it was made for a slightly older demo. (Chapter books were some of the most wanted merch from the line, moving away from simpler picture books)
Also, fun fact; Tinker Bell's model from the original movie was the voice of Spinner from Clutch Cargo. And because of the Syncro-vox animation style, we actually see her LIPS in every episode.
And I didn't like Black Tinkerbell even as someone who is Black... because they shot the actress so badly there was nothing cool looking about her. Every time they racebend characters, they make them so utterly bland because all they do is give them dry fros and never work with colors or anything to make the characters FUN. It's like they think the moment a Black character exist, it means fantasy can't be applied which is funny considering ONE OF THE DISNEY FAIRIES WAS BLACK AND SHE LOOKED CUTE!
Gah, click bait, lame 'corrections', Disney needs to chill the fuck out.
BTW, that cute black fairy you're talking about is Iridessa.
Iridessa is a far better and charming black fairy character than this pathetic excuse of a black Tinkerbell they did for the 2023 Peter Pan and Wendy live-action remake 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I was completely unaware of Iridessa until now - most of my Disney movie watching was over by the '80s and my memory isn't so good these days, but it seems to me like Iridessa was a character who could have been promoted better and even become a household name, with a little little more attention and effort. For example, she could have reappeared as a sidekick for one of the newer Disney princesses, or she could have appeared in other movies or media.
For that matter, there's no reason that Disney couldn't have produced a movie focusing on Iridessa and other black fairies and other main characters, just for a change of pace, giving audiences a movie that is just a little bit of a different spin from the sort of thing that audiences were getting from the (very white and very British) Tolkien or Harry Potter movies: how often does anyone ever see a fantasy movie with a black cast, anyway? (The only one I can think of was 'The Wiz' from 1978!)
Even if Disney has made a couple movies of the sort that I can't think of, fantasy movies with black characters are surely a neglected frontier that deserves better exploration than a token background character here and there, or a "wokewashed" formerly white character in a preachy, lazy, mediocre remake or reboot! There is plenty of room for some original stories with original (and recurring) characters to be told there, and absolutely no reason that the best of the movies made about those characters couldn't be as good as, or perhaps better than, any of the bewildering variety of fine (but generally very white) fantasy movies that have been made over the last century, and no reason that they couldn't have attracted the same audience as the most successful white fantasy movies. Iridessa could surely have helped lead the way, if Disney really cared about its original black characters!
remember in the movie westworld when a guest got cut by a sword...and they yelled "SHUT DOWN!!...SHUT DOWN NOW!!!"..well this is that point
Sadly the animatronics can't rise up and take out Bob for ruining everything.
just waiting for the Pirates of the Caribbean to start eating the tourists!
Tinkerbell was a symbol of classic Walt Disney during his time.
So the Modern Day Disney is gonna try to remove her.
This is the reason why even more fans are gonna walk away from the theme parks when they start to notice something is going on here.
Disney are the ones who are "problematic"...they should remove themselves.
Disney is beyond problematic at this point. #ShutDownDisneyWorld
Kneon: Nefairyous would be a good show about evil fairies...
Disney exec secretly watching: *vigorously takes notes*
Disney exec forgets all about the idea immediately after remembering Iger wants little boys, not girls.
Another Daily Dose of Dismal Disney indeed.
Yeah right uh huh Tinker Bell a problem... only problem ever is 21th 'woke' century Disney! 🤮
Ok, to anyone who isn't a complete lunatic or obsessed fairy duster, how is Tinker Bell problematic? Or is it because she's pretty and white? Cause I can't think of any other reason.
Before watching the video I would have guessed that it was that decades ago her name was associated with the sort of things alleged but never formally proven to happen at Neverland Ranch.
It has, obviously, been decades and I'm not sure I'm remembering correctly. It might have just been a pejorative for gay and not associated with *that*. I'm pretty sure it's not current slang, but if a grievance monger wanted to dig something up to justify their sensativity consulting gig it's post-Internet at least.
In all seriousness, I think the "problematic" thing comes down to the original characterization for Tinker Bell with "fairy" traits like a dangerously obsessive and jealous attachment to Peter Pan: in the original story, Tinkerbell was so jealous of Wendy, she even tried to "unalive" Wendy, so she could have Peter to herself, by manipulating the other boys into shooting Wendy!
"Wendy was now almost overhead, and they could hear her plaintive cry. But more distinct came the shrill voice of Tinker Bell. The jealous fairy had now cast off all disguise of friendship, and was darting at her victim from every direction, pinching savagely each time she touched. 'Hullo, Tink,' cried the wondering boys. Tink's reply rang out: 'Peter wants you to shoot the Wendy.' It was not in their nature to question when Peter ordered.... 'Quick, Tootles, quick,' she screamed. 'Peter will be so pleased.' Tootles excitedly fitted the arrow to his bow. 'Out of the way, Tink,' he shouted; and then he fired, and Wendy fluttered to the ground with an arrow in her breast."
- "Peter and Wendy", by JM Barrie, 1911
Between the characterization and the usual body-positivity aspect, Tinker Bell apparently rubs some latest-wave feminists the wrong way, as they seem to think Tinker Bell is human, I guess.
The Stories Matter sensitivity censorship consulting team seems to have reported in 2022: "Tinker Bell was marked for caution because she is 'body conscious' and jealous of Peter Pan’s attention... while Captain Hook could expose Disney to accusations of discrimination or prejudice against individuals with disabilities because he is a villain...."
Scenes involving the Native American princess character Tiger Lily had already been censored from the original cartoon by that point for "depicting mistreatment of people and their cultures." If any existing character was ever primed for a revisionist makeover into a more three-dimensional and sensitive modern Etnnic Disney Princess, it seems like it would be Tiger Lily: I don't think I can remember anyone in my day feeling any hostility to the character, in spite of any "mistreatment" from the story (where the "Indians" were figments of the boys' imaginations brought to a life constrained by the boys' childish fantasy assumptions about Native Americans as two-dimensional villains for their games: seems like it could have provided a gentle learning opportunity about those sorts of assumptions, in the right hands.
But personally, I find it weirdly charming that Stories Matter apparently concluded that there could be hiring managers out there who might have refused to hire a one-handed person because they were thinking of Captain Hook and assumed the applicant was a pirate with a fear of ticking clocks and alligators, or something.... (And again, Captain Hook and his crew were figments of the boys' imagination brought to life from their childlike assumptions about pirates as villains for their fantasy role-playing games, with the potential for some gentle modern revisionism as a learning opportunity for such assumptions!)
The incident: She was white and not fat or gay enough.
she didn't have a disability, wasn't a marginalized race, probably had strong family values...
It was already Nefarious that they removed her from Peter Pan.
GIVE US TINKERBELL!!!! FREE TINKERBELL!!!
hahahah Disney passover- "whom shall I set free- it's either this man who calls himself your king... or Tinkerbell!!"
the drawer scene with tinkerbell is disney's best scene tbh
So that's the reason why anime made an inspiration towards this scene from Peter Pan. (Over countless anime that is referencing that scene.)
@@SweetBaby2GT clearly the height of animation in our culture, walt was a man of refined taste you know
"Help me, Peter, I'm stuck!"
If woke Disney goes bankrupt I wouldn’t be surprised 😂
Now Disney want the robot chicken version von stinkerbell 😂
The male gaze is problematic to "THEM" because she was HOT, so she had to GO...sadly.
Says something that everyone instantly believes a story like that. It sounded completely credible to me and I am always skeptical. Appreciate your experience and viewpoint.
And dont forget that fights break out in disney parks

Got it: Inside the Magic is the Mike Zeroh of media.
What?!!! Why would Disney dump their beloved fairy? I loved tinker bell as a kid and she’s never problematic, what on earth are they talking about?
She's white! SHAME!
Wait a minute! Disney fired a fairy? Time for all the gays to revolt to protect one of their own! Oh, not that sort of fairy? Never mind....
they wanted to fire 'Nick' and Disney said soemone without a dick... :)
I got to meet Tinkerbell and Rosetta when I went to Disneyland in 2009. They were both sweet & lovely and it made me a fan of Rosetta too even though I wasn't familiar with the Disney Fairies other than Tink at that time. It was a happy, memorable experience from a different universe when sanity existed and Harambe breathed.
Tokyo Disneysea is opening a brand new zone (not just 1 ride) that includes Peter Pan, Tangled and Frozen. Hopefully Tinker Bell shows up there too. Looking forward to visit the new zone
Tinker Bell is essentially Disney's female mascot. Even if Disney became so deranged it threatens their business on their political side as well they would still never get rid of her. She's almost as synonymous with the brand as Mickey.
