    An art book with a story to tell
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2016*

While there's actually a great deal of text, this is at its heart a large-format art book, and as such difficult for me (with very little art background) to review. I can say, "Gee, it's got a lot of purty pickchers in it," but that isn't really very helpful, is it? So I'll mostly review the text.What Johnson does, she does in three parts.The first part ("The World's Most Famous Fairy") is short, and describes, first, how J.M. Barrie came to invent Tinker Bell; second, how she has been historically portrayed on the stage; and finally, and least familiar to me, her portrayal in a 1924 silent <b>Peter Pan</b> film. Both on stage and in the cinema, Tink called for surprising amounts of innovation to carry off.Part II ("The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up") begins with Walt and Roy Disney's boyhood visit to a theatrical performance of <b>Peter Pan</b>. The story fascinated him and, when he began producing cartoons, seemed to him an obvious subject for animation. It took years for <b>Pan</b> to come to a boil, beginning with some difficulty in obtaining the cinema rights for the story; and once Disney had them, WW2 intervened, pushing all his large animation projects out into the future.In the meanwhile, designs came and went for the <b>Pan</b> sets and characters. Tink herself went through dozens of incarnations, until, in the early 50s, Marc Davis, one of the Nine Old Men (as they were not yet called...), came up with her final basic design. Several women posed for Davis as he produced style sheets and sample illustrations. Attempts were made to write and cast dialogue for her, but her voice was finally produced by Jimmy MacDonald, Disney's lead sound effects man.And so, in 1953, the film debuted to a smashing success, or so the story goes. Tinker Bell became an icon, first as the intro/hostess for Disney's television program (originally known as <i>Disneyland</i>), then flying across the sky over Disneyland to introduce the nightly fireworks.The book's final part ("Products, Pitches, and Pixie Dust") is, to my mind, the least interesting. It has its fascinating moments as Tink becomes the pitchperson from peanut butter to Hudson and Nash automobiles, but it is basically a recitation of the various Tinker Bell products that have come down the Disney assembly line over the years, from an early glow-in-the-dark wand that was sold as a Disneyland souvenir, to the Pixie Hollow direct-to-home "feature" films.But I <i>DO</i> have to talk about the purty pickchers after all, because what intrigued me most, thumbing and reading, was the vast variety of Tinker Bells - drawings, animation cels, and live action, uh, actors - that have emerged from the House of Mouse, both before and after the release of the film when (you'd think) her form would be set in concrete. But that form did continue to evolve, and the latest form - the 3D animated Tink of the Pixie Hollow films - falls creepily close to the Uncanny Valley. I expect and hope that  this iconic character will not only survive but recover from this.

    From spot of light to fame; Tinker Bells story
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2014*

Tinker Bell, who would think such a small, but cute, creature could possibly fill a large hardcover book. There apparently was a great deal of work that went into the creation of this tiny, minor, character in the Disney movie Peter Pan. Tinker Bell went from a relatively minor after thought to stardom in her own right. This beautiful, lavishly illustrated, book is full of early concepts. Some of the early sketches of Tinker Bell who was not even known as Tinker Bell at the beginning, were relatively dorky to outright grotesque. Following the Disney artists in their quest for just the right Tinker Bell is a most fascinating journey that I think most Disney lovers would thoroughly enjoy. I did.  Highly Recommended
