~ej]ectfu~y submitted, ~~L( -/)l~~ Nicole Shahenian Vice President of Public Policy TINKER BELL Beloved and cherished by all ages worldwide, Tinker Bell is perhaps the most iconic personality within the Disney anthology of characters.
With a rich history originating in the timeless books and plays of J. M. Barrie dating back to the turn of the last century, to her big screen debut in Walt Disney's animated classic PETER PAN in 1953, Tinker Bell has enjoyed a long and illustrious entertainment career. In the 1960's & 70's, her work continued in television as the weekly host of The Wonderful World of Disney. For nearly a decade, Tinker Bell entered our hearts and homes every Sunday evening. With key roles in later films such as RETURN TO NEVERLAND, Tinker Bell followed with a stellar publishing career launching a series of successful books that feature her various adventures in Pixie Hollow.
Coming this fall, a Qrand-new, original filmproduceclby the. Walt Disney Studios, opens the door to the enchanted world of Pixie Hollow and the'earfy oHgins of this preciOus pixie. TINKER BELL launches a complete company-wide franchise and initiates a series of four, feature-length, stand-alone films starring the one-and-only, Tinker Bell. Entering the world of the fairies, each film celebrates the coming of a season and the adventures this will bring for Tinker Bell and her band of fairy friends. Some of Hollywood's most talented actors are lending their voices to the cast of Pixie Hollow characters including America Ferrera, Lucy Lui, Kristin Chenoweth, Mae Whitman and Raven Symone. In addition to the mounting excitement of this initial film, Disney's most beloved and classic character will speak for the very first time! ·

Ever since Walt Disney founded the company in 1923, the studio has been dedicated to making the wishes of children and families a reality through charitable outreach and volunteerism around the world. In 2005, Disney contributed more than $190 million dollars in cash, in-kind support and public service air time.
Today, Disney is the no. 1 wish of children with life-threatening medical conditions, and Disney fulfills more than 5,000 wishes each year for the Make-a-Wish Foundation® alone. Disney strongly supports the Foundation's mission of granting wishes for these special children to bring them hope, strength and joy.
Many children wish for a trip to a Disney theme park or on a Disney Cruise. However, working with animators, meeting favorite Disney stars or visiting the sets of Disney films or television shows are also among the unique wishes requested.
Disney supports children's hospitals through financial donations, cheerful room renovations, beloved Disney character visits- including their favorite fairy from Pixie Hollow, TINKER BELL - and the annual delivery of magical toys, DVDs and other requested items. Through these efforts, Disney strives to brighten hospital stays for children around the world.
TINKER BELL ARRIVAL TO THE STAR CEREMONY
To create excitement and showmanship during the Tinker Bell star ceremony, we propose a creative and iconic arrival for the pixie fairy to Hollywood. We envision having Tinker Bell arrive to the roof of the El Capitan Theater via zip-line akin to her nightly flight to Sleeping Beauty's castle at Disneyland. Hollywood spectators would see Tinker Bell fly over Hollywood Blvd. (a great visual for the media!) and land on the marquee of the El Capitan Theater. Moments later, a separate Tinker Bell character would walk out the front door of the theater to greet fans, meet Hollywood VIPS and participate in the Hollywood Walk-of-Fame ceremony.
