Synopsis

How did Tinker Bell get her name? In J. M. Barries original version of the play "Peter Pan,"the little sprites name was Tippytoe, and she had speaking lines. But over time, Barrie decided that the fairys expressions would be best voiced by musical chimes. During the early 1900s, vagabonds known as tinkers traveled from town to town, performing jack-of-all-trade repair services. Their arrival was hailed by the jingling of bells fashioned from tin that they mounted on their wagons. One of these "tinker bells" was used to give Peters fairy friend her voice in the original stage production, and the name stuck. Now, more than a hundred years later, it is difficult to believe that this popular pixie began as a circle of lamplight, reflected in a mirror controlled by a stage hand behind the curtains. She is now the center of a major Disney franchise, she flies through the skies in Orlando and Anaheim introducing the nightly fireworks displays, and she opens every Walt Disney Pictures film with a sprinkling of pixie dust. Tinker Bell: An Evolution is a full biography of the fiery little fairy. Designed in collaboration with the Animation Research library, it contains artwork that has never been seen before. The book is heavily illustrated, highly detailed, and will make the perfect gift for every grown-up who believes in fairies., How did Tinker Bell get her name? In J. M.

Showing the development of a fairy for over a century
Well-written and lavishly illustrated, this history of Tinker Bell goes all the way back to the childhood of J.M. Barrie, and it explains how his exposure to, and his love of, the verbal fairy tale tradition in Scotland inspired him to include a fairy character in his writings. We learn of his family, and of Scots hospitality, and of the roving bands of Tinkers who repaired pots and mended shoes wherever they travelled; and it tells of the adults who told fairy stories until well after midnight. In this book we find mention of Barrie's early writing career in Nottingham, and of his successful transition to London, where he met the young Llewelyn-Davies boys (George, Jack, Peter, and later Michael) while he was walking his St. Bernard in Kensington Gardens.

Barrie, and it explains how his exposure to, and his love of, the verbal fairy tale tradition in Scotland inspired him to include a fairy character in his writings. We learn of his family, and of Scots hospitality, and of the roving bands of Tinkers who repaired pots and mended shoes wherever they travelled; and it tells of the adults who told fairy stories until well after midnight. In this book we find mention of Barrie's early writing career in Nottingham, and of his successful transition to London, where he met the young Llewelyn-Davies boys (George, Jack, Peter, and later Michael) while he was walking his St. Bernard in Kensington Gardens. Early images of Barrie and the boys from that time are provided from a book of photographs Barrie had made up and had printed (only two copies ever made) titled "The Boy Castaways of Black Lake Island." Also shown are many other things from that period, including the original, ornate oil lamp from his sister's house, which inspired the eventual look of Tinker Bell (who was originally named "Tippytoe" in Barrie's early stage notes for Peter Pan), plus a couple of illustrations by Arthur Rackham from "Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens," as well as further original stage notes -- and that's merely the first chapter. The rest of the book goes on from there chronologically, and contains photos from early stage productions of Peter Pan; then goes into the development process for the Disney animated movie, which spanned decades due to various factors such as the Great Depression and World War II. Because of the long development process, the Peter Pan animation was repeatedly set aside for other projects, and this allowed the other projects to influence the final look of the Pan movie, including Tinker Bell; it also allowed the Disney artists many repeated passes at concept art, basing their look of Tinker Bell on various actresses and models who were popular at the time. Much of the variation in concept art is shown, and this gives nearly the best view one could have (aside from possibly being a Disney animator oneself) of the latitude of concepts the artists enjoyed and expressed. The internally-glowing Blue Fairy from "Pinocchio" influenced Tinker Bell. The fairies from the "Nutcracker Suite" segment of "Fantasia" influenced Tinker Bell. Concept art from 1937-1939-1940-1946-1949-1953 show her alternating from a blonde to a redhead, then back to a blonde, then to a redhead again, and finally back to a blonde for her finished design. The material produced during those decades was voluminous, and we are shown many representative samples of it. There is even a chapter on Storyboards, which of course are far less detailed than the concept pieces from earlier, but which do contain considerably more dynamic poses and expressions. Later chapters describe and illustrate the finished movie of "Peter Pan": the introduction of Tinker Bell to television audiences; the aerialists who performed the part of Tinker Bell at night, descending on a wire from the top of the Matterhorn attraction in Disneyland to a parking lot while lit by searchlights from the ground, as part of the finale to the day's activities; plus further development of her role through the creation of the "Fairies" line of direct-to-DVD fantasy movies, which finally gave Tinker Bell speaking lines in contrast to her purely-musical voice of earlier decades.
