comment(s) / add a comment. Greetings to all! Just a few days left to our annual ACID camp! Have you gotten your sleeping bags and backpack ready for the ACID 2012 Phantasia adventure? Tonnes of fun adventures awaits you so be sure to get enough rest! Therefore before we see you in ACID 2012, let us bring you to our final 2 chapters of Phantasia Trivia! First stop, let us get ready our magic brooms as we cruise our way to Hogwarts to meet our friends in Harry Potter! Do you know?? Harry Potter is a series of seven fantasy novels written by the British author J. K. Rowling. The books chronicle the adventures of a wizard, Harry Potter and his friends Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger, all of whom are students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The main story arc concerns Harry's quest to overcome the Dark wizard Lord Voldemort, whose aims are to become immortal, conquer the wizarding world, subjugate non-magical people, and destroy all those who stand in his way, especially Harry Potter. Since the release of the first novel Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone on 30 June 1997, the books have gained immense popularity, critical acclaim and commercial success worldwide. The series has also had some share of criticism, including concern for the increasingly dark tone. As of June 2011, the book series has sold about 450 million copies, making it the best-selling books series in history and has been translated into 67 languages, and the last four books consecutively set records as the fastest-selling books in history. The Harry Potter film series is a British-American film series based on the Harry Potter novels by the British author J. K. Rowling. The series is distributed by Warner Bros. and consists of eight fantasy films beginning with Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001) and culminating with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 (2011). The series was produced by David Heyman and stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson as the three leading characters, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Four directors worked on the series: Chris Columbus, Alfonso Cuarón, Mike Newell and David Yates. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh and final novel in the series, is split into two feature-length parts. Part 1 was released in November 2010 and Part 2 was released on 15 July 2011. About Hermione Granger - Phantasia Character: Hermione is a Mudblood Gryffindor student, and the best friend of Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. J.K. Rowling states that she was born on 19 September 1979 and she was nearly twelve when she first attended Hogwarts. She is an overachiever who excels academically, and is described by Rowling as a "very logical, upright and good" character. Rowling adds that Hermione's parents, two Muggle dentists, are a bit bemused by their odd daughter but very proud of her all the same." They are well aware of the wizarding world and have visited Diagon Alley with her. Hermione's foil at Hogwarts is Pansy Parkinson, a female bully based on real-life girls who teased the author during her school days Rowling claims the character of Hermione carries several autobiographical influences. "I did not set out to make Hermione like me but she is...she is an exaggeration of how I was when I was younger." She recalled being called a "little know-it-all" in her youth. Moreover, she states that not unlike herself, "there is a lot of insecurity and a great fear of failure" beneath Hermione's swottiness. In fact, it is revealed in the fifth book that the sorting hat considered sorting Hermione into Ravenclaw. Finally, according to Rowling, next to Albus Dumbledore, Hermione is the perfect expository character; because of her encyclopaedic knowledge, she can always be used as a plot dump to explain the Harry Potter universe.Rowling also claims that her feminist conscience is saved by Hermione, "who's the brightest character" and is a "very strong female character". Hermione's name is derived from William Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale; Rowling claimed that she wanted it to be unusual since if fewer girls shared her name, fewer girls would get teased for it and it seemed that "a pair of professional dentists, who liked to prove how clever they are...gave [her] an unusual name that no-one could pronounce." Her original last name was "Puckle", but Rowling felt the name "did not suit her at all", and so the less frivolous Granger made it into the books. Rowling confirmed in a 2004 interview that Hermione is an only child. Progress of Hermione Granger in Harry Potter Series Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone : Hermione first appears in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone when she meets future companions Harry and Ron on the Hogwarts Express. She constantly annoys her peers with her knowledge, so Harry and Ron initially consider her arrogant, especially after she criticises Ron's incantation of the Levitation Charm.They heartily dislike her until they rescue her from a troll, for which she is so thankful that she lies to protect them from punishment, and their friendship begins. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: Hermione is unable to join Harry and Ron in the investigation after the hair plucked from the robes of Slytherin student Millicent Bulstrode (with whom Hermione was previously matched up during Lockhart's ill-fated Duelling Club) was that of her cat, whose appearance she takes on in her human form; it takes several weeks for the effects to completely wear off. Hermione is Petrified by the basilisk after successfully identifying the creature through library research. Though she lies incapacitated in the hospital wing, her information is crucial to Harry and Ron in their successful mission to solve the mystery of the Chamber of Secrets. Hermione is revived after Harry kills the basilisk, but she is devastated to learn that all end-of-year exams have been cancelled as a school treat. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: Much tension comes into play between Hermione and her two best friends; Harry is furious with her because she told McGonagall that he had received a Firebolt, which was confiscated to be inspected for traces of dark magic. Ron is angry because he feels Crookshanks is responsible for Scabbers' disappearance, while Hermione fiercely maintains that Crookshanks is innocent. The Time-Turner enables Hermione and Harry to rescue Sirius and the hippogriff Buckbeak Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: Hermione gets into a heated argument with Ron after he accuses her of "fraternising with the enemy" in reference to her friendship with Krum. In the book, Hermione's feelings toward Ron are hinted at when she says that Ron can't see her "like a girl," but Krum could. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: Hermione becomes a Gryffindor prefect along with Ron, and befriends Luna Lovegood, but their friendship gets off to a rocky start after Hermione chastises the publication of Luna's father: "The Quibbler's rubbish, everyone knows that." Ron and Hermione spend much of their time bickering, likely due to their growing romantic feelings toward one another, but they show continued loyalty to Harry. One turning point in the series is when Hermione conceives the idea of Harry secretly teaching defensive magic to a small band of students in defiance of the Ministry of Magic's dictum to teach only the subject's basic principles from a textbook, with no hands-on practice. Hermione gets an unexpectedly huge response, and the group becomes the nascent Dumbledore's Army. She is involved in the battle in the Department of Mysteries and seriously injured by a spell from Death Eater Antonin Dolohov, but makes a full recovery. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: Hermione, Harry, and Ron join Dumbledore's Army in the Battle of Hogwarts, during which Hermione destroys Hufflepuff's cup in the Chamber of Secrets with a basilisk fang, eliminating another Horcrux. Hermione and Ron also share their first kiss in the midst of the battle. In the final battle in the Great Hall, Hermione fights Bellatrix with the help of Ginny Weasley and Luna Lovegood. However, the three of them are unable to defeat Bellatrix and stop fighting her once Molly Weasley orders them to disengage. Epilogue: Nineteen years after Voldemort's death, Hermione and Ron Weasley are married. They have two children, Rose and Hugo.She begins her post-Hogwarts career by working in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, where she is instrumental in greatly improving the lives of house-elves; she later moves higher up in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement while ensuring the eradication of oppressive pro-pureblood laws. Rowling stated in a webchat that Hermione found her parents in Australia and relieved them of the memory charm she had placed on them. Next stop, we will be taking a ride on the magic carpet with the characters from Aladdin! Do you know?? Aladdin is a 1992 American animated musical family film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released by Walt Disney Pictures. Aladdin was the 31st animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series, and was part of the Disney film era known as the Disney Renaissance. The film was directed by John Musker and Ron Clements, and is based on the Arab folktale of Aladdin and the magic lamp from One Thousand and One Nights. Story of Aladdin: Jasmine, the Sultan's daughter, frustrated with her life in the palace, flees to Agrabah's marketplace. There she meets street rat Aladdin and his monkey, Abu. The two discover they have a lot in common. Aladdin and Abu enter the cave, where a magic carpet guides them to the lamp. Abu's attempt to steal a ruby causes the cave to start collapsing, but the carpet flies them to the entrance. As Aladdin delivers the lamp, Jafar tries to kill him, but Abu bites Jafar in the arm and gets the lamp back as he, the carpet, and Aladdin fall back into the cave just as it closes. In the collapsed cave, Aladdin rubs the lamp, unexpectedly unleashing a genie, who reveals he will grant Aladdin three wishes—with the exception of murder, romance, or revival of the dead. Aladdin tricks the Genie into freeing them from the cave without using a wish. While contemplating his wishes, Genie admits he would wish for freedom, since he is a prisoner to his lamp. Aladdin promises to free the Genie for his last wish. After talking about Jasmine with the Genie, Aladdin decides to use his first wish to become a prince so he can woo Jasmine. Jasmine exposes Ali as the Aladdin, and demands the truth from him. Aladdin instead fabricates a story that he sometimes dresses as a commoner to escape palace life. After Aladdin realizes that he cannot keep pretending to be something he is not, he decides to keep his promise and wish for the Genie's freedom. Seeing Jasmine's love for Aladdin, the Sultan changes the law to allow her to marry whomever she deems worthy. The newly free Genie leaves to explore the world while Aladdin and Jasmine celebrate their engagement. Aladdin: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack: It is the soundtrack for the Walt Disney Pictures film, Aladdin, released on cassette and compact disc in October 1992. A remastered reissue with altered lyrics and new artwork was released in 2001. A special edition reissue featuring two previously released demos and new artwork was released in 2004. "A Whole New World" is the Oscar winning featured pop single from the soundtrack to the 1992 Disney film Aladdin.It was composed by Alan Menken with lyrics by Tim Rice.The song is a ballad between the primary characters Aladdin and Jasmine about the new world they are going to discover together. The original version was sung by Brad Kane and Lea Salonga during the film. They also performed the song in their characters at the 65th Academy Awards, where it won Best Song.

comment(s) / add a comment. Greetings to everyone! It's time for our Phantasia Trivia again!! Just weeks before our ACID 2012!! Really hope that we can see you there to join us in the bundles of fun-filled adventures! Now let us introduce to you our next 2 Phantasia characters! Let us first introduce to you the Green Ogre, Shrek!! Do you know?? Shrek is a 2001 American computer-animated fantasy comedy film directed by Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson, featuring the voices of Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, and John Lithgow. It is loosely based on William Steig's 1990 fairy tale picture book Shrek!, and also somewhat serves as a children’s parody film, targeting other films adapted from various children’s’ fantasies (mainly Disney films). Shrek stars Mike Myers as a big, strong, solitude-loving, intimidating ogre named Shrek; Cameron Diaz as the beautiful, feisty, but very down-to-earth Princess Fiona; Eddie Murphy as the talkative Donkey; and John Lithgow as the villain Lord Farquaad. The film made notable use of popular music; the soundtrack includes music by Smash Mouth, Eels, Joan Jett, The Proclaimers, Jason Wade, The Baha Men, and Rufus Wainwright (covering Leonard Cohen). When Steven Spielberg bought the rights to the book in 1991, before the founding of DreamWorks, he thought about making a traditionally animated film based on the book. However, John H. Williams convinced the idea of the film to DreamWorks in 1994, the time the studio was founded, and the film was put quickly into active development by Jeffrey Katzenberg after the rights were bought by the studio in 1995. The film was originally planned to be motion-captured, but after poor results, the studio decided to get PDI to help Shrek get its final computer-animated look. Do you know that some of the plot scene were extracted from classic Disney movie, fairy tales and parodies? 1. When Tinkerbell falls on Donkey and he says "I can fly" and people around including three little pigs, say "He can fly, he can fly", this is a reference to Disney's Peter Pan film. This scene is also a reference to another Disney movie named Dumbo, where Donkey says, while flying, "You might have seen a house fly, maybe even a super fly, but I bet you ain't never seen a Donkey fly " 2.The scene where Princess Fiona is fighting the Merry Men is a lengthy reference to The Matrix Next stop, let's take a trip down to Hawaii and say hello to Lilo and Stitch! Do you know?? Lilo & Stitch is an 2002 American animated science-fiction/comedy film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released on June 21, 2002. The 42nd animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics, it was written and directed by Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois. Lilo & Stitch was the second of three Disney animated features produced primarily at the Walt Disney Feature Animation Florida studio located at Walt Disney World's Disney-MGM Studios in Orlando, Florida. Lilo & Stitch was nominated for the 2002 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, which ultimately went to Hayao Miyazaki's film, Spirited Away, which was also distributed by Walt Disney Pictures, and featured a voice-over performance by Chase. Marketing for Lilo and Stitch the movie "Inter-Stitch-als" trailers are featured on Disney's official site as well as on the film's respective DVD release. The original actors of the Disney characters were brought back to reprise their roles and were shocked when asked to act negatively towards Stitch. Beauty and the Beast: The Beauty and the Beast ballroom dance sequence begins as normal. However as the camera pans to the angels on the ceiling, Stitch is seen crawling across the painting. Watching Belle and the Beast, he crawls onto the chandelier, which breaks. The Beast dives and pulls Belle with him out of harm's way while the chandelier smashes on the ballroom floor behind them. The moment ruined, Belle announces she will be in her room. As she departs Stitch wolf whistles after her, to which she replies indignantly, "Get your own movie!" The Little Mermaid: Ariel is singing the reprise of "Part of Your World", when a huge wave, which is being ridden by Stitch, dumps on her. As the ocean settles, Ariel angrily pops up and throws a starfish at Stitch, saying "I was singing here!" This trailer was the most difficult to parody, as the film had been painted using traditional cel animation rather than using the digital CAPS system and had to be cleaned up by hand. Aladdin: Aladdin and Jasmine are interrupted in the middle of the "A Whole New World" sequence by Stitch. Stitch flirts with Jasmine and she drives off with him in his cruiser, leaving Aladdin sitting alone on the carpet, yelling "Hey! You get your own movie..." The Lion King: There are two versions of this commercial. In one of them, clips of past Disney classics are shown, with a voice over saying "For over seventy years, the Walt Disney studios has won the hearts of audiences with the most enchanting, delightful and lovable characters the world had ever known. On June 21st, the tradition...", and is suddenly cut off as Rafiki thrusts Stitch into the air in the manner of the presentation ceremony in the original film. A warthog (not Pumbaa) cries out "Hey, that's not Simba!" All the animals flee, leaving Stitch alone on Pride Rock. Stitch clears his throat and roars unconvincingly. In the other commercial, the end of the song "Circle of Life" plays, Rafiki raising Stitch into the air on the last note. The rest of the parody plays out as the previous one, except that in this commercial, Timon (sitting on Pumbaa's back) is the one who yells "Hey, that's not Simba!"

Greetings to all!
Hope everyone is having a
wonderful weekend! It’s 30+ days to ACID 2012!
Guess everyone is as excited as
we do!
This week we will be bringing you 2 characters in our Phantasia Trivia~!
Now, let’s sail on in our sailor uniform
with...
Popeye the sailorman~!
Do you know??
Popeye the Sailor is a cartoon
fictional character created by Elzie Crisler Segar, who has appeared in comic
strips and animated cartoons in the cinema as well as on television. He first
appeared in the daily King Features comic strip Thimble Theatre on January 17,
1929. Popeye also became the strip's title in later years.
Although Segar's Thimble Theatre
strip was in its tenth year when Popeye made his debut in 1929, the sailor
quickly became the main focus of the strip and Thimble Theatre became one of
King Features' most popular properties during the 1930s. Thimble Theatre was
continued after Segar's death in 1938 by several writers and artists, most
notably Segar's assistant Bud Sagendorf. The strip, now titled Popeye, continues
to appear in first-run installments in its Sunday edition, written and drawn by
Hy Eisman. The daily strips are reprints of old Sagendorf stories.
Popeye’s theme song, titled
"I'm Popeye The Sailor Man", composed by Sammy Lerner in 1933 for
Fleischer’s first Popeye the Sailor cartoon, has become forever associated with
the sailor. As one cartoon historian has observed, Popeye's theme song itself
was inspired by two lines of the tune "Oh, Better Far to Live and
Die", sung by the Pirate King and chorus in Act I of Gilbert and
Sullivan's operetta The Pirates of Penzance: "For I am a Pirate King! (You
are! Hoorah for the Pirate King!)". The tune behind those two lines is similar to
the "Popeye" song, except for the high note on the first
"King". The Sailor's Hornpipe has often been used as an introduction
to Popeye's theme song.
The
popularity of Popeye helped boost spinach sales. Consumption of the leafy
vegetable increased 33 percent in the United States between 1931 and 1936 as
Popeye gained popularity. Using Popeye
as a role model for healthier eating may work; a 2010 study revealed that
children increased their vegetable consumption after watching Popeye cartoons. The
spinach-growing community of Crystal City, Texas, erected a statue of the
character in recognition of Popeye's positive effects on the spinach industry.
There is another Popeye statue in Segar's hometown, Chester, Illinois, and
statues in Springdale, Arkansas and Alma, Arkansas (which claims to be
"The Spinach Capital of the World,") at canning plants of Allen
Canning, which markets Popeye-branded canned spinach. In addition to Allen
Canning's Popeye spinach, Popeye Fresh Foods markets bagged, fresh spinach with
Popeye characters on the package. In 2006, when spinach contaminated with E.
coli was accidentally sold to the public, many editorial cartoonists lampooned
the affair by featuring Popeye in their cartoons.
A frequently circulated story claims that
Fleischer's choice of spinach to give Popeye strength was based on faulty
calculations of its iron content. In the story, a scientist misplaced a decimal
point in an 1870 measurement of spinach's iron content, leading to an iron
value ten times higher than it should have been. This faulty measurement was
not noticed until the 1930s. While this story has gone through longstanding
circulation, recent study has shown that this is a myth, and it was chosen for
its vitamin A content alone.
Now that we have meet Popeye the
sailorman, let us join in the adventure with the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman,
Cowardly Lion, Toto and…
Dorothy!
Do you know??
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a
children's novel written by L. Frank Baum and illustrated by W. W. Denslow.
Originally published by the George M. Hill Company in Chicago on May 17, 1900,
it has since been reprinted numerous times, most often under the name The
Wizard of Oz, which is the name of both the 1902 stage play and the 1939 film
version.
The story chronicles the
adventures of a young girl named Dorothy Gale in the Land of Oz, after being
swept away from her Kansas farm home in a storm.
Dorothy is a young orphaned girl
raised by her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em in the bleak landscape of a Kansas farm.
She has a little black dog Toto, who is her sole source of happiness on the
dry, gray prairies. One day the farmhouse, with Dorothy and Toto inside, is
caught up in a cyclone and deposited in a field in Munchkin Country, the
eastern quadrant of the Land of Oz. The falling house kills the evil ruler of
the Munchkins, the Wicked Witch of the East.
The Good
Witch of the North comes with the Munchkins to greet Dorothy and gives Dorothy
the silver shoes (believed to have magical properties) that the Wicked Witch
had been wearing when she was killed. In order to return to Kansas, the Good
Witch of the North tells Dorothy that she will have to go to the "Emerald
City" or "City of Emeralds" and ask the Wizard of Oz to help
her. Before she leaves, the Good Witch of the North kisses her on the forehead,
giving her magical protection from trouble.
On her way down the road of yellow bricks,
Dorothy frees the Scarecrow from the pole he is hanging on, restores the
movements of the rusted Tin Woodman with an oil can, and encourages them and
the Cowardly Lion to journey with her and Toto to the Emerald City. The
Scarecrow wants to get a brain, the Tin Woodman a heart, and the Cowardly Lion,
courage
Sources of Storyline and Characters
Many of the
characters, props, and ideas in the novel were drawn from Baum's experiences.
As a child, Baum frequently had nightmares of a scarecrow pursuing him across a
field. Moments before the scarecrow's "ragged hay fingers" nearly
gripped his neck, it would fall apart before his eyes. Decades later as an adult,
Baum integrated his tormentor into the novel as the Scarecrow.
According to his son Harry, the Tin Woodman
was born from Baum's attraction to window displays. Because he wished to make
something captivating for the window displays, he used an eclectic assortment
of scraps to craft a striking figure. From a washboiler he made a body, from
bolted stovepipes he made arms and legs, and from the bottom of a saucepan he
made a face. Baum then placed a funnel hat on the figure, which ultimately
became the Tin Woodman.
Baum's wife, Maud Gage frequently
visited her niece, Dorothy Louise Gage. The infant became gravely sick and died
on November 11, 1898, of "congestion of the brain" at exactly five
months. When the baby, whom Maud adored as the daughter she never had died, she
was devastated and needed to consume medicine. To assuage her distress, Frank
made his protagonist of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz a female named Dorothy.
Uncle Henry was modeled
after Henry Gage, his wife Maud's father. Bossed around by his wife Matilda,
Henry rarely dissented with her. He flourished in business, though, and his
neighbors looked up to him. Likewise, Uncle Henry was a "passive but
hard-working man" who "looked stern and solemn, and rarely
spoke".

comment(s) / add a comment. Greetings to all! It's Labour day today! Happy holidays everyone! It's time for Phantasia Trivia again! Since it's Labour day, we will be sharing with you TWO trivias in a row. First stop, let us look into the magical mirror to find... Snow White! Do you know?? "Snow White" is a fairy tale known from many countries in Europe, the best known version being the German one collected by the Brothers Grimm in 1812 (German: Schneewittchen und die sieben Zwerge, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"). As we all know, the story evolves around a beautiful princess, Snow White who has the skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood and hair as black as ebony. After her mother, the Queen's death, the king had remarried a new wife who possess a magical mirror, which answer to any question. Often she would ask the mirror, “ Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?” and the mirror would reply, “ You, my queen are the fairest of all”. But when Snow White reaches the age of seven, she becomes as beautiful as the day, and when the queen asks her mirror, it responds: "Queen, you are full fair, 'tis true, but Snow White is fairer than you." The queen becomes jealous and therefore find ways to kill Snow White, in which she killed her with a poisoned apple. However there are many variations to the story that many of us may not have read about : 1. The Queen had tried 3 times to kill Snow White while the seven dwarfs are away a) First, disguised as apeddler, the Queen offers colorful stay-laces and laces Snow White up so tight that she faints, causing the Queen to leave her dead on the floor. However, Snow White is revived by the dwarfs when they loosen the laces. b) Next, the Queen dresses as a different old woman and brushes Snow White's hair with a poisoned comb. Snow White again collapses, but again is saved by the dwarfs. c) Finally, the Queen makes a poisoned apple, and in the disguise of a farmer's wife, offers it to Snow White. When she is hesitant to accept it, the Queen cuts the apple in half, eats the white part and gives the poisoned red part to Snow White. She eats the apple eagerly and immediately falls into a deep stupor. When the dwarfs find her, they cannot revive her, and they place her in a glasscoffin, assuming that she is dead. 2. How Snow White is revive? Time passes, and a prince traveling through the land sees Snow White. He strides to her coffin. The prince is enchanted by her beauty and instantly falls in love with her. He begs the dwarfs to let him have the coffin. The prince's servants carry the coffin away. While doing so, they stumble on some roots and the movement causes the piece of poisoned apple to dislodge from Snow White's throat, awakening her However in later adaptions of the tale, the prince kisses Snow White, which brings her back to life. Next stop, we will be flying to the island of Neverland with Peter Pan's fairy friend, Tinkle Bell! Do you know?? Tinkle Bell sometimes spelled as Tinkerbell, also referred to as Tink for short,is a fictional character from J. M. Barrie's 1904 play Peter Pan and its 1911 novelization Peter and Wendy. She has appeared in multiple film and television adaptations of the Peter Pan stories, in particular the 1953 animated Walt Disney picture ' Peter Pan '. In her animated form she leaves a trail of twinkling pixie dust. Tinker Bell was described by Barrie as a fairy who mended pots and kettles, like an actual tinker. Her speech consists of the sounds of a tinkling bell, which is understandable only to those familiar with the language of the fairies. In the original stage productions, she was represented on stage by a darting light "created by a small mirror held in the hand off-stage and reflecting a little circle of light from a powerful lamp" and her voice was a "a collar of bells and two special ones that Barrie brought from Switzerland". However, a Miss 'Jane Wren' was listed among the cast on the programmes as playing Tinker Bell: this was a joke which also helped with the mystique of the fairy character, as well as fooled HM Inspector of Taxes who sent Jane Wren a tax demand. Though sometimes ill-tempered, spoiled, and very jealous and vindictive, at other times she is helpful and kind to Peter. The extremes in her personality are explained in-story by the fact that a fairy's size prevents her from holding more than one feeling at a time, so when she is angry she has no counterbalancing compassion. Fairies cannot fly in the rain but can enable others to fly by sprinkling them with fairy dust (sometimes called "pixie dust" by Disney, and presented as "starstuff" in Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson's novel series). At the end of the novel the suggestion is that Tinker Bell has died the year after Wendy and the Darlings leave Neverland, and Peter has no memory of her at all. Disney Version In her most widely known appearance in the 1953 animated Peter Pan film, the character was animated and had no dialogue. Tinker Bell has been one of Disney's most important branding icons for over half a century, and is generally known as "a symbol of 'the magic of Disney'." She has been featured in television commercials and program opening credits sprinkling pixie dust with a wand in order to shower a magical feeling over various other Disney personalities, though the 1953 animated version of Tinker Bell never actually used a wand. In the picture and the official Disney Character Archives, she is referred to as a pixie. She is also featured in the opening of all Disney films flying over the Magic Castle (in a counter-clockwise direction, right to left).

comment(s) / add a comment. Greetings to all! It's weekend again and this week let us know more about our all time Favourite Disney character, Mickey mouse's girlfriend, Minnie mouse!! Do you know?? Minerva "Minnie" Mouse, commonly known as Minnie Mouse or Mickey mouse's girlfriend is an animated character created by Ub Iwerks and Walt Disney. She was first seen in the comic strip story, "The Gleam" by Merrill De Maris and Floyd Gottfredson. Marsi Kajsiu is the Albanian Minnie Mouse In 1928, Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks created Mickey Mouse to act as a replacement to his previous star Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. But Mickey could not fill the void alone. Among the few consistent character traits Oswald had developed before moving on to Universal Studios was his near-constant pursuit of potential sweethearts. So for Mickey to have a chance to emulate his predecessor at flirting, someone had to replace Oswald's many love interests. This replacement to Miss Rabbit, Miss Cottontail, Fanny and an uncertain number of unnamed nurses and dancers was to become Minnie Mouse. Minnie's fashion evolution.. Minnie was designed in the fashion of a "flapper" girl. She was so probably intended to follow the trends of then-modern youth culture, such as liking the color red, in an effort to add to her audience appeal. Her main outfit usually included a feminine bowler hat with a daisy sticking out of it, white gloves and a short dress. Along with Mickey, she was redesigned in the 1940s. Her hat was replaced with a large bow, and bows were added to her shoes as well. Her eyes were also given more detail. Throughout the forties and fifties, her look and personality became more conservative. This can be attributed to the fact that, as a result of The Great Depression and World War II, the culture of the USA had become more conservative, and the flapper girl style was falling out of fashion.
