what happened to tinkerbell and the ring of belief?
Переглядів 386 тис.11 місяців тому
After the success of the Disney Princess brand, Disney created a Disney Fairies brand based off the character Tinkerbell. This included books, dolls, and an animated movie series. However, the development of the first Tinkerbell movie was a disaster behind the scenes, leading to a version of the movie getting scrapped late into its development. In this video, I tried to trace the timeline of th...

    ABC did the same sort of brainwashing too, with the series Once Upon A Time. They were based upon traditional Disney characters, but with some traditional villains as heroes (Captain Hook, for example), and some heroes as villains (Peter Pan, King Arthur, Merlin...). There were some villains, who, over the course of the series, became heroes, such as the Wicked Queen from Snow White and the Wicked Witch from Wizard of Oz. So yes, I think that across media, there is a broad brainwashing experiment going on, making good seem evil, and visa versa.

    I agree on your point about Mal using magic to spell Ben in the second movie and that being bad but I actually think in the first movie it makes a lot of sense for her character to put a love spell on Ben. She grew up in the isle and was raised by Malificent, it makes a lot of sense for her to lack those morals of manipulation and mind control. And the ending with her wanting to give Ben a reversal spell cookie shows her character growth and her morals becoming better. If she never spelled him in the first place it wouldn’t feel very realistic as someone named the worst villain kid on the isle. She should be nasty and manipulative and depend on magic because that’s all she knows from her mom. It’s only after she gets a lot of exposure from Auradon that she should grow out of that and have those morals.

    The idea that Tink and Silvermist were best friends in the version of the tinkerbell movie is so fascinating to me. I've always wanted to see more of Tink's friends because I like her friends more than Tinker Bell herself. My favorite Tinker Bell movie is the Legend of the never beast because it's all about Fawn! Fawn is a way better character than Tink in my opinion. Silvermist is another character that I love but the movie you really get to see her shine is Pirate Fairys and that one seen in the treasure hunt one. If Tinker Bell movie were still being made, I would love to see a movie about each of Tinks friends. I think people would love that. That's if they're as good if not better that Fawn's movie

    Idk I like the love potion plot I just think she should have a had more ramifications. I think the plot touches on a really interesting concept and it shows that these kids were raised by evil parents and they need to learn to be good.

    I like the 'some people can do math, but anyone can use a calculator' metaphor. It implies magic is a skill that can be honed, and some people can control it easier than others. Nicely done :D

    I think it wouldve been neat in the second movie if instead of running away back to the isle Mal felt drawn to like an old decrepit abandoned castle on a mountain. Like and it’s revealed it’s her mom’s old place from before the isle. Maybe in the basement there a gateway thing to allude to hades. Like surely they havent bothered to touch these villain homes due to superstition. Maybe mal uses her good magic to unstone diablo the crow.

    Cruella De Vil being marketed as one of the "big bads" of the isle never made sense to me, as her crimes and she herself weren't even on par with villains like Maleficant and Jafar who were near god-like, and literal threast to humanity. I remember her as just a vain, cruel, narcissist. A threat to animals, yes, but she isn't capable of being treated as a threat to society or anything, just throw her back in jail.

    (idk if im going to look stupid for saying this cuz I'm on half of the video) It seems like the conflict points in your version are almost completely about magic, which would be fine if the hero's kids would be nice and the only problem would be that magic was forbidden. Because Audrey and chad etc. they discriminate against the VK's who can't use magic too, not just Mal. So the arguments about 'fitting in' kinda made a lot of sense in the of movies, because auradon was so different from the Isle, and was putting a lot of pressure to be perfect on Mal. If the 'hero' kids in your version would be nice/encouraging her to be nice not for the sake of 'fitting in' but genuinely wanting her to grow and change, the whole 'magic is forbidden and Mal struggles with that' would work as a main focus point for Ben/Mal arguments, but now it just feels like the arguments focus on the wrong thing. (this is my opinion and i am in no way a storywriter so take this comment with a grain of salt)

    Read all these books in 2020 and loved them all! The new movie and especially once I heard that Beyond the Isle of the Lost was coming out I got that right away and I loved that book too. It seems Melissa either didn’t have or at least held back on her exploration of lore just in case the most likely scenario of the movie(s) not using any lore specifically in the novel like what ended up happening later in the original run of book. But ‘Beyond’ gave such great context to D4s main character Red and also fleshed out how evil Queen of Hearts is which also adds layers of intrigue to how she became evil after seeing her younger self as Bridget.i hope Melissa gets to do even more books!
