Last Saturday, Tinker Bell and Terence joined folks from Epcot and DisneyToon Studios for the unveiling of a winning "fairy house" created by 15-year old Zoe P., of Frazier Park, Calif. She and her sister submitted drawings and the winner was able to create an actual one with the assistance of Walt Disney World Horticulture Cast Members. Her whole family were invited to enjoy the festivities.
That's Epcot VP Dan Cockerell on the far right with Bradley Raymond and Helen Kalafatic, Director and Producer of the upcoming DVD feature, Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue, which will be released this Fall. One of the iconic set pieces of the film, an oatmeal box that serves as the fairy house 9-year-old Lizzie builds -- and Tinker Bell enters -- has been added to the Pixie Hollow play and activity area at the current International Epcot Flower and Garden Festival.
Producer Sean Lurie (pictured) and Director Klay Hall were in Florida yesterday at a nice little grand opening ceremony for the new Pixie Hollow garden at the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival. The fairies themselves made a special appearance, with Epcot VP Dan Cockerell, but will return to Magic Kingdom where they "live," while topiaries of each as well as nice settings and activities will be part of the Epcot feature.
Tink's doing a sort of Joey Heatherton pose here. Lurie and Hall were promoting the second of four Disney Fairies animated features; the upcoming one is called Tinker Bell and The Search for Curly's Gold (just kidding, it's Tinker Bell and The Lost Treasure).
