Disney Online today began previewing the first six minutes of the direct-to-video animated movie Tinker Bell. The sneak peek will be available to view on Disney.com’s newly launched, full-screen video player through Tuesday, Oct. 28, when the feature makes its debut on DVD and Blu-ray. In addition, Disney Online’s new virtual world, Disney Fairies Pixie Hollow (www.PixieHollow.com) is marking Tinker Bell‘s arrival with a special in-game event.
After tagging along with Peter Pan, Tinker Bell finally gets her own movie as part of the new Disney Fairies franchise. Fans will hear Tink speak for the first time in the first in a series of four CG-animated fairy films, which Disney hopes will build on the success of its Disney Princesses property.
The recently launched Pixie Hollow is an online virtual world where each visitor can create their very own fairy to take flight alongside Tinker Bell and many of her Fairy friends. The site is hosting a special in-game party for the Tinker Bell release, allowing players to search for the hidden party location to earn badges and get Tinker Bell party gifts. Additionally, Tink herself will make special appearances to chat with fans. Pixie Hollow is free to play with the opportunity to upgrade to a membership for a monthly fee of $5.95.
